Patio
Patti O.

Super cute patio overlooking the Mississippi. The place filled up once we got seated. Service was decent, could tell they were a bit short-staffed but doing the best they could. All items our table ordered (a few different types of wraps, chicken sandwich, fish & chips) took a while to come out to the table, but no complaints on taste or quality.

Mai Tai's at Yardarm are awesome! Most bars in Dubuque can't make them. Yardarm makes them fast and delicious!

Outdoor seating area

visually didn't appear to be busy, yet I was flat ignored at the bar. Just wanted to order food and a drink before the band played. Made eye contact several times with staff, still couldn't get help. Ended up ordering Papa Johns to the parking lot. Honestly would have left if I hadn't come here to watch the band. I'll never come here again, I can stay around home and get treated better.

First time here. We went in the bar sat at a table got completely ignored so after 10 minutes we decided to outside. It was a nice large outdoor seating facing the water. The waitress was very nice the nachos were good. A large order for 2 was filling. The drinks a little weak.

See all

Have been before, good food. Second visit not so much. "Too busy" to modify an order for a customer with allergies. That's just rude.

The food was good but the service and friendliness of the staff is horrendous…read more We arrived around 7:30 but the place doesn't close until 10. Most of the floors were mopped and chairs placed on the tables as if they were closing soon. We waited behind a party of 5 to be seated and they mentioned they have been waiting awhile. When the hostess (Natalie) finally Came she was in the middle of eating and you could tell she was bothered by needing to do her job. We were seated at a table then told me needed to more because the waitress was off soon and didn't want a table. Once we got our food, we were told by our waitress that she was off soon so if we wouldn't mind hurrying up. Seriously?!?

The restaurant wasn't very busy despite it being a Saturday night, looking particularly empty in…read moreall the open space. Service was particularly slow tonight, which I didn't understand since it wasn't busy. The onion loaf was slightly undercooked and VERY greasy this time. The server did keep up with drinks but we were on our second glasses of soda by the time food arrived. The baby back ribs were awesome, falling off the bone. The broccoli is always perfectly cooked, tender but still green. I love the loaded mashed potatoes. Others had the Caesar Salad, Chicken Alfredo and the Filet & Baby Back combos. Everyone was pleased. I understand the servers wanting a cash tip on a large bill but I found it slightly insulting to be asked for that, by the person receiving it, when presented with the bill. A sign when you enter would be better. We don't often carry cash so that didn't happen tonight.
