4 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Dubuque

“Most of us had a good meal last night however one hamburger was very overcooked. When the manager came by and we told him about it, he put it back on us for not ordering it correctly. The server never asked how we wanted it prepared so apparently if you don’t specify they will automatically cook it well done. I think this should be a question the servers ask rather than a customer remembering to state that.“

“★★★★★ Absolutely Fantastic – Don't Miss the Sunday Ribs!

It had been a little while since our last visit to Mason Dixon Saloon, and after this meal, I need to make sure my next trip back happens a lot sooner! Everything from the starters to the main course was simply outstanding.

If you are looking for the perfect way to kick off your meal, do yourself a favor and order the Dixon Dice, Cheese Curds, and the Portobello mushrooms. They make for an incredible appetizer lineup that sets the stage for the rest of the night.

But the real star of the show is the Sunday night ribs—they absolutely do not disappoint! A quick pro-tip: get there early! These are incredibly popular and have a tendency to sell out fast. What I love most is how the ribs are prepared. They don't come drowning in barbecue sauce; instead, they are seasoned to absolute perfection, letting the flavor of the meat really shine. If you are a sauce lover, you can request their BBQ sauce on the side. We heard it is homemade, and it is indeed really good!

Even if you aren't interested in ribs, they offer a full menu of other fantastic items to choose from. Honestly, you can't go wrong with anything you order off the menu here.

Highly recommend Mason Dixon Saloon for a top-tier dinner. We will definitely be back sooner rather than later!“
