Cute little restaurant in a cute little town. Some friends and I stopped in for lunch while vacationing nearby. We ordered a basket of fries and a basket of cheese curds, which was big enough for all 8 of us to share! I got the mushroom and Swiss burger for lunch. It was nothing phenomenal, but it tasted good. The place was clean, cheap, and the best--albeit only--restaurant around. read more

Gormet good with local character. The fish and burgers carry the day. Soups are home made and special.

My wife and I stopped in for breakfast while our car was charging at the Blink chargers in the nearby park. We had our pick of tables or seats at the counter. Our server greeted us warmly and offered coffee to start. I'm not a coffee drinker my self but my wife thought it was good. The menu was a simple one pager but covered everything we were looking for. My wife got two fried eggs, hash browns with onions and cheese, wheat toast and ham. I went with scrambled eggs, bacon and white toast. While waiting, my wife enjoyed watching the Today show on their TV. They also had the local newspaper to read if you like. Breakfast arrived after a brief wait. My meal was hot and good. My wife's eggs were cooked like she requested over medium but yolks dunkable with the toast. The hash browns portion was huge covering half the plate. I had to step in and help her. Service was friendly and great the entire time. read more

Great food. Big portions. Small town business. In all the years going there I never had a bad meal. Hours are less now after covid. Hard for them to find help. Get the Buffalo burger. read more

Really neat little establishment. Warning it is a cash only establishment. i had the basic bacon cheeseburger and it was delicious. Son ordered wings plain and he would recommend them. Wife got pizza burger and that is why I didn't give 5 stars. Not a typical pizza burger: no sauce and no provolone, still good but not what she expected. Very friendly and quick responding staff. I did see on another review slow service, something tells me in the summer that might occur because it is right next to hotel and it is a small town so not many options. 1 person calls off and I could see it being tough to keep up with the crowds. We didn't have that problem. Overall go enjoy if you are traveling through. Remember cash only. read more

A fairly standard diner experience. On the grungier side but not outrageous for a diner. Food is acceptable and standard. Service is pretty slow. Not a terrible experience but do not stop if in a hurry. read more

Marquette Bar & Cafe - people walking down the street - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Marquette, Iowa

Delicious food, speedy service, done with a smiling face; how can you ask for more? The chili is some of the best you'll find outside of your grandmas kitchen, and for a reasonable price, their burgers are worth the 100 mile drive it took us to get here, and it's worth coming back every year. It's the hidden hole in the wall you almost feel guilty letting people know about, just because you don't want a line out front. read more

Good food and really cheap. The cheese curds are nice and crispy and there burgers are hardy. I would say they give you way to much food and they don't have the sauces on the table. read more

I called at 7:40 on a Saturday night in the summer to ask what time they closed. They said they stop taking orders at 8:15. VERY RUDE ON THE PHONE. So we walked over from our hotel. They don't take debit or credit cards. We said we would be back. Being that it's not 1986 I was surprised. So I hoped in my DeLorean and drove to the atm. Just kidding. I walked across the street to the gas station. Some weird guy was talking to the Atm and things got awkward so we left. Save the nonsense if you have a car drive over the bridge to prairie du chein and go to one of the many places over there. read more

Best greasy hamburgers! We also had the onion rings and they were very good. Service was great, the people were very friendly and its the perfect dive for a beer and burger after a long hike to the Effigy Mounds. Loved looking at the older pictures on the wall of the great Mississippi and the town folks! read more

Best burgers and fries. Reminds me of my childhood. We stop for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. All good and reasonable prices!

It is a shame it took so long to discover this place. They serve a hearty breakfast at a very fair price. Lunch was very good too! It is a small place and can be hard to get a table at peak times if you have a big group. Also, this place is cash only. read more

Great breakfast stop. A small diner cash only option that served a good old fashioned breakfast. The American fries with added onions were fabulous. read more

Was never greeted so we sat ourselves. Place is nothing special, food isn't much but it's okay and cheap so it worked for us. It's conveniently located across the street from our hotel. There's really not much to say about this place. read more

Stopped in for a snack and ordered their homemade Chicken Dumping soup. Very tasty. If you are expecting the Ritz just keep going, but if you want a good meal at a reasonable price with a small town bar-cafe atmosphere, this is the place for you. read more

Awesome bar burgers. Fries nice and crispy. Great prices on the food. Would come back for the burgers.

We love this place and if we lived in the area would visit there frequently. This is a place for "commoners" so check your attitude at the door if you're expecting linen and chandeliers. It's about great, down home, FOOD and plenty of it at reasonable prices. We first visited them 36 years ago and have never missed the, all too infrequent, opportunity to visit them again.......including this evening. read more

A little slow but they did have a party of 15 show up right as we walked in the door. The food was great! Bugers patties were hand made, not frozen mystery meat. Fries were excellent as well. read more
