(If you're from Chicagoland you know about it) We ordered up some pita chips got our drinks as we reviewed the dinner menu. Kylie, our host was greatly attentive and recognized that we were not in a hurry. We ordered up some soups, crab bisque and french onion. While we waited the soups we made our dinner decisions. The pork quesadilla for my partner and the half pound burger for me. Our conversation was casual after our ride to Galena today and the 80's-90's radio station it well with this comfortable bar-restaurant. The drinks were great, our soups and appetizer were perfect and our meals hit the spot. We had a great relaxing meal. Drinks and meals each really around $40 each. We'll be back.

Husband had BBQ chicken with rice and steamed asparagus. Kids ate free because we were guests of the Holiday Inn, the hotel attached to River Rock Kitchen & Tap. The kids liked their mac and cheese and chicken fingers and fries. My 7 year old like the chicken fingers so much, he ordered a second round (which we paid for, this time). Our sweet waitress gave ice cream to the kids after dinner. That totally made their day! + Clean restaurant + There is a bar area with TVs for those business travelers. We observed a lot of business people at the bar area that day. + Limited outdoor seating available if you prefer + Affordable Highly recommended!

Hotel bars are very hit and miss. Sometimes it can be a mecca for the road weary vacationers and…read morebusiness travelers to socialize and bond over their shared space away from home. The hotel bartender is a job for the seasoned veterans of customer service and providing conversation and engaging customers. The lady behind the bar failed and led me and my wife to leave and find a place near our hotel that wanted our money. I ordered an overpriced (all hotel bars are) craft beer from a local brewery and sipped it while waiting for my wife to come and join me. During this 20 minutes the waitress never asked me anything or engaged me. When she saw that I was taking my last drink, she asked me if I needed another one and I responded yes. In the next 10+ minute time span my wife came in and sat down without being acknowledged by her. I witnessed her serving 2 others, running a tab and chatting with a friend. When I finally caught her attention, she realized that she had completely ignored me for a long period of time. I then declined the 2nd pint and tabbed out.

Occasionally, I'll switch things up and get the glass noodles for a different texture- they come with the same great flavor and veggies. We love the avocado roll appetizer. Whether dining in or ordering takeout, the portions are generous and often enough for two meals. This place is especially great if you need dietary accommodations. They offer plenty of options whether you're dairy-free, gluten-free, or vegan.

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).

Chips (not the stake kind you usually get at places) and salsa were served to start. There were 4 in our party but I only got pictures of two of our meals (a few bites missing as I almost forgot to take a picture). My son had the Enchiladas Mexicanas, which he said was flavorful and delicious. The description says the sauce is mole but didn't specify exactly which mole it was. He wasn't disappointed in whichever it was. I had the Taquitos Dorados. Three come on the platter with guacamole, sour cream and a small salad in the center. My picture only has 2 as, again, I almost forgot about taking a picture. When the food was brought to the table, there was confusion on whose meals she was bringing as the young lady called the dishes something else and appeared to not understand what we were asking when trying to clarify what she had. That was really the only service glitch. We paid using the QR code on the receipt. Although it said it took Apple Pay, that button wasn't working and we needed to enter the credit card manually. They do offer a cash discount so the prices on the menu do appear to be inclusive for credit card payments. Tip suggestions in the bottom appear to be based on the total with credit card payments and the sales tax. Overall, it was a delicious meal and we'll be back but not on a regular basis due to the higher priced menu. It'll be great for a nice meal out on occasion.
