    The taste of the fish was okay, but I really wish that it were bigger. Maybe this is because of shrink-inflation, but it shouldn't be this small. The mashed potatoes were a little dry, but they had flavor, and the asparagus was good. Overall, it was a decent meal.

    I was craving a French baked onion soup so I called about 10 restaurants in town until this place said that they have it on the menu but they don't open until 4pm, dam it's only noon now. The place looks like a chain restaurant that's that's a little up scale with nice wood and brick interior. They have a nice big bar and tables and booths to sit at. The place is in the casino area but not in the casino itself but next door to it. I was seated and given a menu right away and I ordered just the baked French onion soup and my server was like that's all, no drink or anything else and I said yes I'm having a craving just for soup. My French baked onion soup came fast and it looked good with cheese melted down the cup. The soup was filled with a nice amount of melted cheese but it was average. The broth didn't have a great depth of flavor I thought from my first spoonful. I was all I could find and it did fill my crave but it's not the best example of baked French onion soup that I have had.

    Visited about a week ago and The food was amazing, everything was juicy and flavorful, we ate so much our stomachs hurt till the next day. We got the mini sliders appetizers and they were so juicy would eat them 100 times again. For my meal I got the French onion soup and house salad they were both very good. My finance got the French dip and pot roast they were also really good. The only thing bad was our service was a little bad, our waiter didn't pay much attention to us and we waited 15 minutes for the bill. The overall experience was nice and the lighten was very romantic and dim 9/10!

    This location was connected to my hotel and was by far the best Houlihan's experience yet. Food was extremely fresh and the service was very good especially as busy as they were. The chicken strips were juicy, fries well seasoned and cooked just right. The fish was a huge chunk of cod and the homemade tartar sauce I would consider using as a condiment for a variety of things. I will definitely be back if I don't lose all my money next door at the Q.

    Delicious!

    Service was excellent (sat at bar). The kitchen met my request to add a side of scallops. However, the mashed potatoes were pretty salty and sour tasting and the steak just didn't taste like quality meat (texture). I cant blame the kitchen for the steak. Its more of a corporate issue since corp probably orders the food and picks the vendors. The French onion soup was awesome. Loved the apple pie with ice cream!

    Happy 30th wedding anniversary !

    Love the chicken parm sandwich! Fun place to watch a game and grab a bite and a drink. Try the Rasberry Long Island, Size: Liter!

    Is the restaurant closed permanently? I have checked in for the last week to see about dining there, and it has been closed every day. When I called them, there was no answer, no answering machine message.

    We were just there 3 weeks ago and it was open... call the Hilton Garden Hotel that it is attached to and check...

    Mississippi Moon Bar is a great medium sized venue for catching a band. There really isn't a bad…read moreplace to sit/stand where you don't feel close to the action. The general admission floor area gains you an up close and personal experience right up to the stage. Unlike many venues there's even a concession stand near the front area. You can't beat $3 cans of beer at a concert. Of course being a casino there's even a few dozen slot machines within the venue to pass the time while waiting for your act to start. We saw The Struts and they really put on a high energy show. Our tickets were $30 and with that we were within touching distance of the group throughout the show. This was our first venture to Mississippi Moon Bar and the Diamond Jo Casino, and likely will not be our last.

    I generally try to avoid casino music venues, as I find it depressing as hell to walk through…read morecasinos and seeing people who can least afford it plying slot machines with their earnings. Also, cigarette smoke. But I really wanted to see The Mavericks perform so I went with my best friend. I was surprised how nice it was. I had a floor GA ticket and my friend was stuck standing by the bar. I tried to upgrade her ticket to no avail. They said the floor was filled to capacity due to fire rules. However we were able to get her down there anyway. I almost laughed out loud at their definition of "full". In New Orleans or Philly, this floor would only be considered 2/3 full. There was plenty of room which made it great! The acoustics were quite good. Great sight lines. Staff friendly and drinks cheap. No one was smoking in the music venue, only in the casino itself. Free garage parking. There are a couple of restaurants and a Subway if you want a quick hoagie. I did not eat here.

    This is one of my favorite rock n roll clubs/bars in Iowa! Located right off the Mississippi where…read morethe boats are docked to shore, this is a great place to cast your anchor and hang out for a night and watch some music! When entering the bar you might think you are in a different land, and in a different time! It feels kinda like an Irish pub in a dungeon! But there's a pool table so you know your safe! There are two long bars one on the side room where the music is and one in the main room! I have been here numerous times of the past 10 years and the bar tenders always seem to be the same. And they are great! Prices are great too, you can get your fancy whisky or craft brews, but they also carry cans of PBR, and Old Mil for us on a budget! The music room is great, it has great sound, and Aaron H. who has booked here for years brings in great stuff, a totally curated room of music! The locals just come here cause there is live music and they usually leave satisfied in their choice cause Aaron has great taste! I have been lucky enough to play here a few times and every time I have had a great time! They have a great back patio as well, but like I said they are right off the Mississippi so it might get kinda buggy sometimes! This is a total gem if you find yourself in Dubuque!
