I've never been, but my parents, on a road trip with my nephew were told to take cover because of a…read morenearby tornado. They were told about the County Line by a local, and they were welcomed with open arms by the owner. She could see how scared my 8 year old nephew was and whisked him away and introduced him to her dog Jake. He was quickly put at ease and after about an hour, the tornado had changed paths and it was safe to leave. I'm really not one to write reviews of places I haven't been, but I was really touched by this story and the kindness of the owner and I feel it's something that should be commended. I'd be glad to stop in, if I'm ever en route or in the area. It's nice to see there are some special people in the world! Thank You!!

We met family here today for a Birthday lunch for my sister in law…read more I LOVE the interior here - high ceilings, all the polished wood- absolutely gorgeous. Now, my sister in law complained that it's very loud and echoey- but she had her earplugs and that helped. Service was attentive too. Most of us ordered salads- my husband and I had the chicken chipotle. It was creative and tasty. It's pricey here- $18 for a salad - ouch- but it was for a birthday and she was happy for the celebration.

It's also located inside of an old bank, so we wanted to check this one out. We were seated immediately and received great service. The waitress was new, but already familiar with the menu. She made recommendations and was very attentive. We started with the pretzel and I can't wait for you to see the photo of how huge this thing is! We all three ate some of it, and there was enough for two people left once we were all done. It's massive! For the entree, I had the chicken quesadillas, my husband had the salmon bowl, and my son had the French dip. The food was all very good and if he chooses Dubuque for college, we will definitely be back!

But the interior was very cool and the area was very pretty. They have a nice outdoor patio, inside bar and table seating. Plus they have several arcade games and sweet merchandise. Service was friendly and everything was clean. They had quite a few beers on tap so I opted for a flight. I sampled the cramden bike-fruited sour, Punchy the clown-sour, Bangers-Strawberry Rhubarb Piehole-gluten free sour, and I Gotta Have My Hops-imperial ipa. They were all really good but my favorite was the strawberry rhubarb. It wasn't overly sour but was more sweet and was just a nice, light, summery drink. For dinner I had the Cuban B-smoked pulled pork, ham, pickle chips, honey mustard, and Swiss cheese on a hoagie roll. It came with a side of fries. The Cuban was delicious. The flavor was Smokey and sweet with a little acidity. It was really well balanced and was very tasty. Highly recommend. The fries were crispy and crunchy and not overly salted. I'd definitely order them again. Highly recommend that you stop in if you're in the area. If we end up around here again, we'll definitely stop in again.

They allowed us to bring our own 'cheese' from home to accommodate vegan diet. Crust is airy and delicious. One of my favorites.

The restaurant is large with a lot of open space, booths, tables, high tops and a few snugs. Made our reservation on Open Table. This, in addition to their Toast rewards program, are nice perks. My husband and I split the GF (cauliflower crust) Dubuquer pizza. My son had the small hot honey Detroit crust. Fabulous and affordable. My only complaint is that they have Pepsi instead of Coke products, but that's just because of preference. Service was fast and efficient! This is now a nice every couple of weeks go-to place! Someday we will have to check out the other connected bar and arcades. I highly suggest everyone visit from Thanksgiving to the New Year as they already have reservations going for their Winter Wonderland. They will have even more than last year, including their LEGO Harry Potter display and the new Lord of the Rings display.

We sat at the bar so we could watch the husker football game. You can only see the tv from a couple tables. Yes, the bartenders were sweet enough to put on the Nebraska game in Iowa! I'm only removing a star for the smell. You will 100% reek when leaving here. You marinade in it and it will permeate into your hair and skin. Not just for the night, even after you shower, you will sweat pizza grease the next day. PLEASE PLEASE get some ventilation. Quick note about the set up of this place. Driftless, Dolfs bar, and Backpocket restaurant all share the same common area/bathrooms, then the basement of the area is an arcade.
