This is a true local gem. We just moved to Dubuque and found it, just down the street from our house. The food was great, service was friendly and on point, and the atmosphere felt like growing up in little town midwest america. So with a visit.Dietary restrictions: Gotten free options, noted on the menu.

Great local place with a wonderful hometown, friendly vibe. We love the salad bar with the home-made pickles, soup, and salad dressings. The steaks are excellent. The staff is friendly & helpful. If you have kids be sure to ask for a 'special delivery' from the model train!

My experience at Buddy's Clubhouse begins by asking the people living next to our Airbnb for a recommendation of their favorite restaurant. They talked amongst themselves and settled on Buddy's.We looked up the Google listing and decided to give it a try. It even had some Dubuque favorites. They mentioned that it was a dinner club, which didn't mean much to me, but seemed different from a restaurant somehow.When we arrived, we weren't sure that we came in the front door. It opens directly into a packed bar and a large number of middle-aged, white people looked at our rather differently appearing group of 4 strangers who were clearly not local.We were immediately greeted by friendly people and welcomed into the crowded space. It's very basic and simple with budget furnishings that you would expect in a thriving local bar with an attached eating area.The older white waiter was very friendly, though he was new and not very familiar with the menu. The food was decent quality, not really great or even very good, but it seemed reasonably well cooked and decent. The prime rib was not top quality meat by any measure, but it was certainly edible and reasonably priced.We felt really good about having tried this restaurant to get an authentic local Dubuque experience. We definitely do not plan to return, as our standards are a bit higher than what is offered here.By the way, the 2, count 'em, 2 trains that periodically run around the ceiling are a delight. We also learned that Buddy is no longer with us, but that his son, Steve, is the bartender and Buddy's widow continues to own the place.Here's to Buddy! I had a good gin and tonic at your Clubhouse and appreciate the chance to enjoy your work.

What a wonderful surprise. Found this on TA as a food spot on DBQ. Was very impressed, food was great value and delicious. I had my first catfish collars. Wonderful and lightly breaded. But the key to this spot are the people, they all could not have been nicer. Seems in some restaurants, this is a real struggle, but not at buddy's. On our way out owner and bar tender both genuinely thanked us for coming. Next time the steaks!

Had a great tenderloin sandwich with onion rings. And a good beer. What more can you ask for? But there was, a fare price.
