New American Restaurants near Dubuque, IA

“Went for a Friday night dinner was visiting family. My brother has been raving about this place for years so was excited to try it. Highly recommend a reservation, as it can get busy.
We had a table in the back. It was very nice, quiet and private even in a full restaurant. Our server was great; took the time to explain the menu and made sure we knew the details of the dishes. We started with the oysters, which had a great lemon minuet. Also had the trout dip, yum.
I am nothing close to a vegetarian, but I ordered the Crispy Polenta (pictured). It was amazing. Great colors on the plate. The harissa sauce was smooth and tasty. The salad was fresh with just the right tartness and the polenta was crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside.
Also tried a bit of the Amish Chicken, Sweet Corn Maque Choux Orecciette and Pork Schnitzel. All were very good.
Ended the meal with a Creme Brulee, which was smooth as silk.“

“Went here for our anniversary/new years last night! First time being here, and had Mary as our server. She was one of the best servers we’ve EVER had! Very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu! Definitely our new favorite place! Service, food, atmosphere! 🥂🙌🏻“

“Excellent food, excellent drinks! Great atmosphere and quality service/staff. We always have a wonderful experience at Pepper Sprout!“

“I haven't been to a Houlihans in years so I was happy to find this one in Iowa. We had great service. I am a very picky eating so when I saw a Salmon BLT o the mdnu, I was extatic. It was awesome! Paired well with broccoli. My hubby said his cheeseburger was good as well. I hope the BLT stays on the menu.“

“we were seriously disappointed. I recommend avoiding this place.“

“Excellent food at a very reasonable price. We had dinner here twice and breakfast while staying at the hotel and every dish has been exceptional.“
