We met family here today for a Birthday lunch for my sister in law…read more I LOVE the interior here - high ceilings, all the polished wood- absolutely gorgeous. Now, my sister in law complained that it's very loud and echoey- but she had her earplugs and that helped. Service was attentive too. Most of us ordered salads- my husband and I had the chicken chipotle. It was creative and tasty. It's pricey here- $18 for a salad - ouch- but it was for a birthday and she was happy for the celebration.

It's also located inside of an old bank, so we wanted to check this one out. We were seated immediately and received great service. The waitress was new, but already familiar with the menu. She made recommendations and was very attentive. We started with the pretzel and I can't wait for you to see the photo of how huge this thing is! We all three ate some of it, and there was enough for two people left once we were all done. It's massive! For the entree, I had the chicken quesadillas, my husband had the salmon bowl, and my son had the French dip. The food was all very good and if he chooses Dubuque for college, we will definitely be back!

But the interior was very cool and the area was very pretty. They have a nice outdoor patio, inside bar and table seating. Plus they have several arcade games and sweet merchandise. Service was friendly and everything was clean. They had quite a few beers on tap so I opted for a flight. I sampled the cramden bike-fruited sour, Punchy the clown-sour, Bangers-Strawberry Rhubarb Piehole-gluten free sour, and I Gotta Have My Hops-imperial ipa. They were all really good but my favorite was the strawberry rhubarb. It wasn't overly sour but was more sweet and was just a nice, light, summery drink. For dinner I had the Cuban B-smoked pulled pork, ham, pickle chips, honey mustard, and Swiss cheese on a hoagie roll. It came with a side of fries. The Cuban was delicious. The flavor was Smokey and sweet with a little acidity. It was really well balanced and was very tasty. Highly recommend. The fries were crispy and crunchy and not overly salted. I'd definitely order them again. Highly recommend that you stop in if you're in the area. If we end up around here again, we'll definitely stop in again.

Mason Dixon Saloon, as it is unfortunately titled and branded, is one of the only places in Dubuque…read moretoday that provides pretty darn solid ribs and smoked meats, as some of the other BBQ joints have shuttered over the years. I am pleased, in fact, to report that in having tried the ribs, they have smoking down pretty well and churn out some good food. On other visits however, I was surprised to find the pork on the Cuban sandwich and basket to be an odd texture and pretty off tasting. I'd say that the food is pretty standard otherwise, with what seem to be the usual Cisco/USFoods frozen to fried fare. Nothing incredible, but your familiar greasy stuff to get a quick, cheap-enough lunch in. The service over the years has been mixed as well, during the table service hours, the place has had attentive and kind service, but every weekend the place turns into a confused staging ground for what all-too-often seem to be fake-ID toting college underclassmen. At these hours, the place feels uncomfortable for anyone over 22, and it's hard enough to get to the bar rail at these hours any way, much more-so to be seen by tenders that all too often are overstretched if they're even behind the bar to begin with. There's also the obvious gripe with the ambiance. Bourbon barrels cut and stacked along the walls, set against the backdrop of a big crocodile crawling the room -- pretty cool, if not a little kitschy. The obvious problem remains: why the homage to the Mason Dixon line? A symbol of the south? A bygone time? Something to suggest that the ~perfectly fine~ ribs will transport you to another place? My thought is that all too often, and rightly so, it's associated with the border into a land where slavery existed right up until the line was no more. A line crossed to become free, or on the flip side enter a land where it was okay to treat a black man as something sub-human. If that's where this saloon wants to transport me, I'm good. They changed their branding from a confederate flag striped longhorn to what it is now, but the name and the feeling remain. I should hope that they can see that in a Dubuque that is hopefully changing with times and trying to be a welcoming place to folks of all races, colors, and creeds, it may be time not just to retire the flag, but consider what the line their named for stands for to people other than the white guys in their hometown (a group that seems to want the good ol' Southland to adopt the rural Midwest).

5 Stars - Truly Exceptional Supper Club Experience…read more Louisburg Junction Supper Club delivered one of the most complete and enjoyable dining experiences we've had in a long time. The appetizers set the tone--the bacon-wrapped onion is an absolute standout, and the onion rings were well executed. My filet was tender and expertly prepared. The ribs and the broasted chicken were both impressive, with the chicken being some of the best we've ever tasted. Dessert was memorable as well. The chocolate cake was enjoyable, but the real highlight was the Orange Apocalypse ice cream drink--a must-try for anyone visiting. This restaurant exemplifies what a true supper club should be: excellent service, a welcoming atmosphere, and a traditional salad bar done right. I also appreciated the manager taking time to check in with us; his engagement added to the overall experience. A full 10/10 visit--highly recommended.

So glad that I found Norie Thuerauf's The Big House earlier today for a terrific breakfast with a great atmosphere. Less than a 15-minute ride from the Field of Dreams Movie Site, The Big House offers lunch seven days a week and dinner six times, but this was breakfast, and it was pretty good, provided only on Sundays! Located across from a glorious church in the northwest corner of Dyersville, The Big House features a large dining room with sensational breakfast options served in buffet form. Eggs, bacon, pancakes, hash browns, cheesy biscuits, multiple stroganoff dishes, ham, sausage, and spicy meatballs at the end of the room, an all-you-can-eat meal for just $10! And they had great desserts that were outstanding! Bianca, our server, was kind, personable, and attentive; the head cook, Marlene, was interactive and talented. Norie, who has had considerable local success in previous dining establishments, came over and said hello, answering questions and being a friendly host! A solid positive recommendation here, a great place to visit on a Sunday morning. I'll return soon to try some of their Asian cuisines for dinner. So good to see another breakfast option in the Dyersville community!

It is hard to beat the local flavor of small Midwest towns and this didn't disappoint. Grilled bun was a nice touch and the bacon had an excellent smoke.

The Gangster sauce topped it off and I wouldn't have dreamed of insulting it with ketchup or mustard. A great breakfast was ordered by my wife so don't forget to use the whole menu. What you look for in a local watering hole is drink variety, good food and great service with tons of smiles. This one has it all. Thanks Maddie!
