Steakhouses in 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.“

“We are truck drivers who brought the narwhal exhibit to the museum across the parking lot. We decided to go to Diamond Jo and when we were finished, we saw Woodfire Grille on the way out. We decided we wanted to stop there, so we gave it a shot.

Please note it's best to make reservations on a Friday at least, if you want a table. We did not, however, the manager was delightful, and allowed us to dine at the bar. We were very thankful to be seated.

The ambiance and atmosphere here is absolutely fantastic. The Woodfire behind the clear glass and the low mood lighting make this restaurant a fantastic place to eat with someone you love or by yourself.

We had Callie as our server, and even though we were a quite a bit under dressed, and a little scrubby after unloading our truck at the museum, she nor anyone else ( customer or staff ) even looked at us like we were any different from anyone else. It appeared most people were in dress/casual for this place, but it was nice to not be looked down upon.

Callie was legit one of, if not THE BEST server we've ever had in a restaurant ANYWHERE. She took great care of us, made sure to make excellent recommendations, and was very accommodating. I don't know the manager/host name that sat us name, she was a lady with dark hair and glasses; She was also very sweet and accommodating.

The food: I had the diamond cut prime rib, wife had the fillet and both were perfect and cooked perfectly. The side dishes are shareable with like 2-3 people and come in a decent sized bowl and are delicious, and for dessert my wife and I split the brownie and it was amazing. This is legit the best meal we've ever had in any restaurant in the country and we go a LOT of places.

Thank you all for your kindness, thank you to the manager for seating us without reservations, and thank you SO MUCH Callie for your fantastic service. We WILL be returning to this establishment EVERY chance we get. ♥️“
