Barrel House was good. Tons of menu choices for all. Some have a better value then others. I had quesadillas which were very flavorful but it didn't come with a side ... quarter pound burger and fries would have cost the same. Chose wisely. Service was slow. Make sure you have time to chat. Great environment. read more

Poor service! My husband asked for a beer to buy for a relative that was there with another friend (apart from his group) and the response the bartender gave was"you need it right away?" Strange response and yes he wanted it right away. Well the relative never received her beer!! It also was not very busy... the place less than half full!! After my husband's group of 5 group was seated and placed their food order, the waitress said it was busy and their order "may their take awhile", so they ordered a round of drinks. Those drinks never came so they did at least "comp" them for the drinks. After they ate, they went elsewhere for drinks! read more

Nice new place with great food and lots of menu options. Still new so they are working out a few kinks but overall a great experience. Lots of different beers and original cocktails. Lots of room, does not feel crowded. Great food and friendly staff. read more

Had the 2am burger with the beer fries and it was awesome. Very great first impression and will be back again when in town for work!! Service was fast and the atmosphere was very cozy. read more

Waited to be seated. No one came. Seated ourselves and got a nearly indecipherable lecture from host about not doing that. Place was dirty and smelled disgusting. Stuck to the table as it was so dirty. Walked out so cant review food. Decided not to risk the food poisoning. read more

Love this place! I had the beef, mushroom, and bacon sandwich. Yum! Great food, excellent fries! Ask for Mike, he's amazing!

Nice environment wonderful food. Service not bad at all. Fish and sweet potato fries where good. Being from down south didn't expect to have good fish like that will be returning soon read more

Great food. Chicken sandwich was crispy breaded and perfectly cooked. Good beer selection and waitress recommendations. It's my go to Dubuque place now. read more

We came in for Sunday brunch buffet which was delicious. The bottomless mimosa and bloody Mary's were a hit with our group. There is variety of mimosas to pick from and same with bloody Mary's. The buffet had omelette bar and most delicious hash browns. Our waitress was super on top of refills and extremely friendly. The owner even stopped b table thank us for coming in. We will definitely be returning. read more

Went here on a trip to Dubuque with my boyfriend. We both ordered burgers and they were very good about making mine keto(no bun and vegetables as side). Our burgers came out cold. Our waitress immediately had the kitchen make us new burgers, a Manager came to apologize and they knocked 50% off our bill. Great service. read more

This is one of my favorite restaurants in Dubuque! The service is great the food is awesome and it's an overall beautiful place to eat and have cocktails! The GM Mike is a super nice guy! We got to meet him the last time we were there and you can tell he loves his job and works hard to make the place a success! Casey the bartender we had rocks! Definitely frequent this place many times and 100% recommend it!! You won't be disappointed! read more

Food was Ok. The drinks were OK. The best thing about this place was the service.The waitress "Hailey"was great and super friendly and told us about great stores and attractions to check out. .Will go back just because of her. read more

We stopped in and got the Fish and Chips! Excellent food, wonderful service! They serve a lot of local beers. The place was clean and the staff was very helpful. read more

My husband and I came to get dinner a few nights ago. We waited a very long time to get seated. We ordered some appetizers and it took over 35 minutes to get them. It took about an hour to get our food. When we did get the food our order was made incorrectly and I had a hair in my burger!! Our waitress Claudia, was very attentive and apologetic about the food being wrong and our food was discounted. When we go the bill, our order was rang in correctly, but it came out wrong? Kitchen service needs to read what they are making and double check what is being brought out! read more

It took forever to get our food--over an hour. My wine tasted awful. When we did get our food the orders were wrong. Food subpar. My sister couldn't even eat her fish tacos. Then, it took forever to get the bills. read more

Food is really good!! I highly recommend the shrimp or fish tacos. However, the service has been pretty awful the last two times we've gone. It really makes it hard to want to go back. read more

Great place for sandwiches! The portobello mushrooms were gone in a hurry, they were so good! The service was good too. Didn't have to wait very long to get a drink. Lots of beer choices too read more

service at this place sucks. worse service I have ever had. ordered my burger and sweet potato fries and they brought me regular fries and I said something about it and then they brought me my sweet potato fries and they weren't all the way cooked! and I had to pay for the half cold fries. and the server wouldn't let me talk to the manager. So I was very pissed off about that. read more

Phenomenal Sunday brunch! I think I'd be here a couple of times a month if I lived in Dubuque. Prime rib, made to order omelettes, plus a very flavorful spread including some of the best smoked bacon I've had in awhile. Our server, Marcel, and the omelette chef were great. We're here from out of town and will be back. read more

This place needs more time and staff more training. First off we were given wrong beers. No big deal. Server brought a stout and an IPA, asked me which is a stout. Ah, young girl, you have some learning to do. We laughed. Next the correct beer is brought, no glass. Ok, ain't no thing, we have secured beer! Taking awhile for food, but we are cool we have beer! Until we don't, please bring us beer. Tic toc tic toc, beer.........please sir some beer.........Server finally asked if I wanted another beer but never asked my boyfriend. I am flattered but don't want a sad boyfriend on my hands. Dinner came, wrong meal for me. Took awhile to catch the server to let him know. He took the meal and then I saw what I am pretty sure was the same wrong order get rushed to the table behind me:-/ My meal came pretty quickly, it was good. I gather the staff are quite new and inexperienced. If the kitchen was running like the service I am certain they were in the weeds. I will give them another go, but not for a few months while they workout the kinks. read more

Great food! Great prices! 1/2 off appetizers at night is so awesome, but the service can be pretty slow! We sat at the bar one night and watched our food sit being ready for about 6-8 minutes, but it was still hot when we got it read more

Went there with a group of 6 people. Drinks were tasty and the appetizers were pretty good. However, if you are expecting the pub burger to actually be a real burger you will be disappointed. Their pub burgers are about the size of a McDonald's hamburger. Also, the toppings are almost nonexistent. The bacon burger had 2 small pieces of bacon. The burger with Mac-n-cheese had a couple pieces of Mac-n-cheese, almost couldn't find any. We had decided to split the burgers before we realized how small they were. The waitress didn't warn us about how small they were, and when we complained she didn't seem to care at all. We had suggested that she should have warned us when we ordered them. Over all the service was terrible. No refills offered for the designated driver drinking soda. Very apathetic at best. Took forever to be served. Wouldn't go back and wouldn't really suggest this place to others. read more

Lunch​ here was great. Definitely​ an awesome hang out for after work with the guys or just a place you can go for a good time with friends and family. The food was excellent, both burgers and chicken sandwiches​ are delectable. More than worth it. read more

CRAPPY RUDE BARTENDER!!! My wife and I stopped in for appetizers because we had been told that they were half price after 9:00. The bar wasn't terribly crowded and it seemed to have a nice atmosphere. We sat down at the bar and waited for the bartender to take our drink order. After some time she finally came over and asked us what we wanted. She acted as though she could really care less whether we were there or not. She grudgingly handed us menus and walked off. She finally returned to get our order and took our order without even looking at us. We had to "flag" her down to get anything and her answers were very kirt and short. My wife spoke to the manager to let her know that the bartender sucked and of course she defended her by saying she was understaffed, overworked, had a long day, blah blah blah. Afterward the bartender did finally decide to speak to my wife by chastising her for speaking to the manager instead of her. WELL WE HAD BEEN TRYING TO GET HER TO SPEAK TO US FOR OVER AN HOUR AND SHE ALL BUT REFUSED. My money comes TOO hard to spend it at a place where the bartender could not care less if I spend it with them! read more

After losing our reservation we waited about 25 minutes. No apology from the hostess. Our waitress was not very pleasant. She never came back to see if we needed anything. Had to ask for her so we could get drinks. Our service was so bad that we didn't even get our food at the same time. One meal was served after we all were done eating. No apology from the waitress. As a local this is one restaurant I wouldn't recommend. It has happened before. read more

This was my 3rd visit to this location and my 3rd strike. My first visit was my first mistake I ordered the boom boom chicken enchiladas. Why would I order mex. food in a burger joint. My second visit I shared a pizza and It was just an ok pizza. But then I went in for the Monday night special advertised on their website, $6.00 tacos or quesadillas. Well guess what ? They didn't honor it and I had it on my phone for our waitress. Plus they went up $5 on the menu but they offer $3 off. read more

I am not one to complain or seek out a site for a bad review but this place was SO bad. The Sunday brunch was PURE grease. Not much flavor and nothing seemed fresh. We left feeling disgusted after spending 40$ on really tasteless / unhealthy food. The staff was also dull and barely paid attention to us. We had lunch there previously when they opened and thought we'd give it another try since it's been open for awhile. We will not be back. The food is awful. read more

Food was great! I got a burger, wife got fish and chips. Burger was tasty...of beef! Not over seasoned cooked to perfection and delish. Wife's fish and chips were off the charts good. Jeff was attentive and great. Great atmosphere. Been to a lot of gastro-pubs and this might be my fave! read more

My wife, son and I spent the afternoon hiking at the Mines. We had decided that we wanted to get pizza before we went home, this was at 3:45. We drove to Pusateri's only to find out they would not open until 5:00. Not wanting to wait, we decided to give the Pizza at Barrel House a try. We arrived at about 4:15 and the place as about 1/3 full. We were seated and given menus. About 5 minutes later our waiter came over and took our drink order with an order of Pretzels for appetizers. We then watched a couple get seated two tables over from us. They received their drinks and waitress took their order before our order was placed, which was a little frustrating. But we finally placed our order after our drinks and apps arrived. Then we waited, and waited, and waited. We watched the other couple receive their food and eat it. When our waiter finally came over we expressed a little frustration to which he said the manager would come over to talk with us. And we waited longer until another waiter brought out my sons pepperoni kids meal and our half and half extra cheese pizza.........but no pepperoni and the half and half extra cheese was just buffalo with no extra cheese. Waiter apologized and said they were making another pizza for us. We again expressed dissatisfaction and he said the manager would be over (second time). We went with it until we realized just how cold the pizza was. Must have been sitting in the back room for a good 20 minutes. We then flagged our waiter down (who did a good job of ignoring us as he knew what was going on) and he asked if the manager had been over to see us yet. No we replied and we wanted our bill for the app and drinks, we were leaving since it had been over an hour and still no edible food. He said he would get the bill for us. He came back and said no bill and he was sorry for everything. We told him it was ridiculous and he said "what else do you want me to do give you money". We then walked out and went to Pusateri's...........should have just waited. Never did hear from the manager. We will not return. read more

Went there last weekend. Food was ok but nothing that stood out. Thought it was about the same as Chammps. But they just opened so might get better. read more

Great chicken avocado sandwich! Service really good from Mara! Clean restaurant and will go back soon.

New restaurant in town so we decided to give it a try. Excellent food and good service. The coleslaw side was the best I've ever had! We'll be sure to go again. read more

I went with three others for lunch. We were seated right away, but our waitress wasn't very attentive. It took 15 minutes to get menus and drinks. We all ordered sandwiches (chicken, wrap, or burgers) and waited 45 minutes for the food. Our waitress didn't check on us or offer more drinks. A table near us had similar issues, but their orders got delivered in two shifts 30 minutes apart - 1/2 the orders first and the 30 minutes later the rest. Horrible! The table behind us got their tab comped because the service/food was so bad. A guy came to our table finally with two plates. He shoved it at me. I asked what it was and he barked back that he didn't know. Everyone's homemade chips were stale. Waitress walked off when we told her. When we were finished eating she came back and asked if we wanted anything in place of the bad chips. We were done. We already had to go out and feed the street meter more money because this quick lunch was taking 1 1/2 hours. We weren't about to wait around for more poor service and bad food. When we were leaving, our waitress yelled at us to have a nice day. Should have read the reviews before setting foot in this place. read more

We stopped by on Saturday afternoon, March 25,2017 about 3:00 p.m. The restaurant wasn't too busy - which at that time is why we went. We waited a good 5 minutes to get seated and there was a couple ahead of us also waiting to be seated. I saw two people that were seated walk out as it looks like they weren't getting waited on. Well, one of the managers Mike finally came over and offered to set us. As we saw the kind of service (or lack of it) we decided just to sit and eat at the bar. We sat down and the female bartender was too busy talking with her friend next to us to take our order. I finally gave her the "eye" and she came over. Which was literally two steps. She never returned after serving our drinks. Then there was another bartender that came over and asked if we would like to order food. I felt that we were putting him out by ordering - not friendly in manner at all. There is a lot of restaurant in the Dubuque area that also serve food and beverages - I don't know if we will be back read more
