No problem, a chance to have a couple old fashioneds and get some local tips from the bar lady. My wife enjoyed her soup, and we shared a decent caesar-like salad (trying to recall from photos). The shawarma pizza was a nice try but not a win in my book. The fried pork belly were overfried though still edible. We would still return if were in the neighborhood to see what they're up to. The bar was pretty busy and it was nice to see regular people mulling over this semi-gourmet food!

Our family had a day trip to Dubuque, and my brother suggested this place. I had not heard of it…read moreand am always up to try something new and unique. Right from the start the hostess was rude. I thought maybe it was me, but observed her rude to others. This is a restaurant's first chance to set the tone, and she is not doing them any justice. We got a table and ordered drinks. My mom got the loaded Bloody Mary, which she said was delicious. It also was LOADED. Get this for sure! My SIL got the broasted chicken and said it was tasty as well. If you like chicken, it would be worth trying. Sadly I got a Mushroom and Swiss burger and it was fine. I always get burgers well done from a food safety perspective. It was medium at best. We already waited 40 minutes for food so I didn't send it back. The server never came back to ask how our food was either. My niece got a grilled cheese on the kid's menu. It was 90% bread for a 4 year old. Parents don't get this option! It's not worth the money. I know they were busy so trying to be respectful of that. Unfortunately the service was slow, the staff lacking and the food average to below, so go for a drink but choose your food wisely.

Located across the river from Maine St, this quaint old house turned restaurant is worth the stop…read more There is on street and public parking available. I would recommend making reservations as it was consistently busy. We opted for seats at the bar to avoid an hour wait. This place is tiny, so it would not be ideal for large groups. It would be difficult to accommodate someone who could not navigate stairs (there are both stairs to enter as well as a staircase for most of the dining space). Servers were friendly and helpful, the right amount of attentive. The food came out quickly. They offer light lunch, brunch, breakfast fare, with specials, and baked goods from Lola. A popular special is a homemade pop tart, which has rotating flavors (today was blueberry with lemon frosting). We opted for French Toast, pork belly, and the country skillet. Everything was delicious and portions were generous. All around a great find.

Most was barely warm except chicken was hot if taken from the middle. No French Toast available maybe kids should have asked for few pieces. Possibly using smaller aluminum serving containers would keep things warm. Homemade cinnamon rolls or brownies would have been nice for a dessert rather than just store bought pastries and donuts. We did like the fresh fruit and yogurt for parfait. It will be nice to try the regular menu during the week when we travel by next week.

You can tell it the original one, as it's small and a little dated compared to the others that are near. But it's kinda cozy. We sat at the bar, and that's where they excelled. Our bartender Hallie, was fantastic! Best one we have had in a long time. Super nice, super informative. I had the Margherita Pizza, never have had one at a B.G. It was ok. Very saucy.

The marinara sauce with the garlic bread could use more seasoning to give it flavor (garlic, salt, pepper, onion powder, etc.) The burgers are huge. They have good flavor, nice and juicy. And boy they are big! You better have a good appetite to clear the plate. The service was alittle slow, but all the staff was very polite and aware of the slowness. They comp'd us an appetizer as a result. Overall, it's a great place to hang out and a friendly place to bring the family. And worth the drive for really good pizza.

Not an issue for most, but I thought someone was sleeping on the floor. Nope. Pull out bed, with some sad blankets. They did provide for a comfy sleep, however. It would be nice to have a smart tv in line with current trends, since it's good to be able to watch my own shows and movies. The bathroom was fine, bathtub had pink streaks??? Shower maybe needed another door besides the curtain already there, I was very scared of getting water on the floor. The toilet paper was one ply. Hmm. Overall, I wouldn't stay here again. They did leave us macarons and a fun notepad, but it could be a bit better.
