I'm always exploring restaurants around Dyersville and Dubuque County to learn more about the area…read moreand support local businesses. So glad that I found Norie Thuerauf's The Big House earlier today for a terrific breakfast with a great atmosphere.
Less than a 15-minute ride from the Field of Dreams Movie Site, The Big House offers lunch seven days a week and dinner six times, but this was breakfast, and it was pretty good, provided only on Sundays!
Located across from a glorious church in the northwest corner of Dyersville, The Big House features a large dining room with sensational breakfast options served in buffet form. Eggs, bacon, pancakes, hash browns, cheesy biscuits, multiple stroganoff dishes, ham, sausage, and spicy meatballs at the end of the room, an all-you-can-eat meal for just $10! And they had great desserts that were outstanding!
Bianca, our server, was kind, personable, and attentive; the head cook, Marlene, was interactive and talented. Norie, who has had considerable local success in previous dining establishments, came over and said hello, answering questions and being a friendly host!
A solid positive recommendation here, a great place to visit on a Sunday morning. I'll return soon to try some of their Asian cuisines for dinner. So good to see another breakfast option in the Dyersville community!
