We were in for breakfast and it wasn't bad at all. I had the breakfast burrito that was wrapped in an omelet instead of a tortilla. Different but pretty good. The wife had a pancake the size of a dinner plate. Our server was very friendly and on the ball. She even took the time to chat a little. The place is clean and nicely decorated. We enjoyed our breakfast and will stop some day and get into the burger menu.

There is a ground level patio, but I did not see any service here so if you can't climb stairs, you probably aren't going to come here. I will say the cheese curds were tasty, but they were fried, so just know that. We all ended up ordering the shrimp skewers because we were leaning towards the healthier side and they were very tasty with all day seasoning and my husband had the Cajun. My biggest complaint is, I asked for a glass of water twice from one server, once from another and ended up, going to the bar to get it myself so super frustrated that that one simple request was not honored. Everything else was fine. It is pretty loud in here for conversation so if you're looking for something a little quieter, you may want to choose elsewhere Total bill was $99 for three orders of shrimp, skewers, cheese, curds, and we each had two drinks each

Everything was delicious...the steak bites were our favorite (well, until I tried the mini donuts for dessert ;)) and we would be happy to come back to try more of the menu. The ambiance was family friendly & chill. The staff were super friendly and helpful. It was a gorgeous day with gorgeous views that made us feel like we were on an island further south than we were!! Definitely worth a stop!

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 have their regulars - who come in to watch sports and chat with the employees - but they are welcoming to folks passing through. I have enjoyed the Chipotle Burger and the Mushroom Burger. One with regular fries, one with the seasoned waffle fries. Rick has had the steak sandwich and a burger. Burgers are fine - the combo of the chipotle sauce, cheese, bacon - and the one onion ring - was very tasty. The Mushroom - I should have asked for grilled onion instead of raw. Still good flavors. Cash only. No draft Beer. Pepsi products - including Diet Dew. Good choice for a quick meal on our Chicago/Oelwein trips.

The pizza was full of flavor and piping hot. DELICIOUS. The BEST part was the service. We were there with our mom who requires a walker and some extra care. Tammy and Courtney were extremely kind and caring. They were attentive, caring and went above and beyond with us while we were there. When we left, Courtney even held the door and helped us get the walker down the stairs. This place pays attention to customers and their needs. I will be back and will continue to sing their praises. You are one is a kind and we will can't wait to come back.
