The place looks run down and take out mostly because no one was eating in the place but orders were going out and phones were ringing, maybe a good sign. You know how much I love the combination plate when it comes to Chinese food so I called in and ordered the beef with broccoli dinner combo and my side choices were egg roll and pork fried rice which took 10 minutes. My only disappointment was no hot mustard like in Milwaukee because I like that on my egg roll with soy sauce. My combination dinner actually looked really good and better than I expected with a full size egg roll, thank you. The pork fried rice didn't look like much but it was flavorful and not cooked to mush but flavorful. The egg roll was not frozen with crispy fresh cabbage and also flavorful with a nice golden wrapper. The beef and broccoli was also flavorful with thick tender beef and broccoli that was not cooked to mush with some crunch left in it, dam everything cooked perfectly and no mushy food. WOW I'm impressed with this place because it puts lots of Chinese restaurants to shame because it was cooked perfectly, not skimping and flavorful so I would definitely have dinner here again. Was it the best, no but it was better than most places and I have done a lot of them so the freshness stands out.

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).

We tried the chocolate chip bread pudding, which was tasty but very hot. We got it to go because we knew we couldn't eat the whole thing. Lovely place to have dinner on the river. the only downsides were the soups in that clam chowder was thin and had no potatoes. No clams was pretty much warm milk with celery and the beer cheese soup was too thick and a little too cloy, would've been good with the chips from the appetizer.

Ordered a lunch special, catfish & red beans & rice and husband ordered catfish & fries. Catfish was average and decent size piece with special. I had to send back the red beans. I think there were 5 beans and no rice and a lot of liquid. Had them substitute potato salad which was very average. Fries were so soggy we didn't eat them. Waitress offered to get us another order and request well done fries but we didn't want to wait. Well done? Shouldn't all fries have a crispness to them? The manager did take 10% off. Whooopeee! Very mediocre at best. We go to New Orleans a lot and red beans/rice are so very good when cooked correctly. They need to take it off the menu or send the chef for a cooking class on southern food.. imho
