Restaurants near East Dubuque

“Diamond in the ruff. This place is off the beaten path a bit, but it's so worth it. Great service atmosphere and food. They even have little apartment rentals on the marina. We had a great time! The steak and mashed potatoes are out of this world. The Smash burgers are pretty good too! We had their donuts and ice cream for dessert. So good! They had someone that was singing and playing the guitar and she had a soothing good voice.”

“This place is great! Cold beer, great service and great food! Whatever those fried balls of deliciousness are called...I need more 😅”

“Enjoyed a great burger with live Music”

“Just stopped for a casual beer, got insulted by 3 older gentlemen who say they are there every day. One says he is offended by a shirt some one is wearing at the bar. He wanted them to take it off. I informed him it is freedom of speech, We are in a bar. The shirt had the F- word on it. It got so bad that my wife was told she has no brain between her ears. My wife is a veteran of 2 different branches of the military. These guys were tyrants.I would stay away from this bar!”

“Joe, neighbors, Connie, cook. great experience!”

“We ordered lunch for the office on Reuben day!
They were so good!! The online ordering was fast & easy! And our orders were ready when I walked in the door! We will be ordering here again! And taking an order home for the family too!”

“My wife Lisa and I stopped in on a whim this morning to grab some coffee. After looking at the menu we decided to have breakfast. BEST biscuits and gravy I've ever had! They also have a full coffee bar and ice cream bar for the hot summer days. We were lucky to meet the owners and chat for a few, great people! This will be our new go to spot when in the area.”

“Footlong chili dogs and liquor”

“We had such a great evening @TSC. The resturant food, atmosphere and service was outstanding. A special thanks to Patty for giving us an opportunity to catch the sunset behind the skyline on the Mighty Mississippi.”

“This morning was my first time to La Venta Specialty Coffee, and I loved it! The atmosphere was great, the pastries and drinks were wonderful, and the owners are awesome human beings!! I would definitely recommend going here!”

“Delicious! Wonderful flavor, we've had breakfast and lunch here so far. Only complaint is they need a bigger location with more parking spots - good problem to have 😁”

“I love the Cold Brew with 4 shots of espresso. on cold days I get the Macchiato. Paul is a coffee ificianto. Great service. The best Coffee!! 100% recommended!”

“Delicious! I had the sweet n spicey fried chicken sandwich, crab Rangoon, and a raspberry mojito. The food was fresh and delicious, chicken was juicy with a crunchy crust, and drink was refreshing. Will definitely be going back!”

“Everything was awesome, from the iced drink to the carnitas!”

“If you’re looking for a bakery that delivers both creativity and incredible flavor, look no further than Candle Ready Cakes! We stopped in for their special April Fools treats today, and let me tell you—they absolutely nailed it. We tried the “reuben,” “chicken nuggets,” and “bagel,” and they looked exactly like the real thing. The attention to detail was unreal. Your brain is fully convinced you’re about to bite into corned beef, Swiss cheese, thousand island, sauerkraut, and rye bread… but then—surprise! It’s a delicious sweet treat instead. From the very first bite, my tastebuds were dancing and immediately wanted more. It’s not just the visual trickery—it’s the flavor that seals the deal. And of course, we couldn’t leave without grabbing their ever-popular cake balls, which (as always) did not disappoint. Do yourself a favor and swing into Candle Ready Cakes any day of the week and grab a few boxes of cupcakes or treats. You’ll be hooked after one visit—I guarantee you’ll be coming back for more!”

“My husband and I stopped in at Lalo's after visiting the Museum and Aquarium. The staff were friendly and welcoming. I ordered mango margarita. The waiter was thoughtful enough to ask if I wanted sugar, salt, or tajin on the rim (tajin - of course!). We ordered and received the food quickly. I got the Mar y Tierra (Surf n Turf) and my husband got the Chile Colorado. Both were absolutely delicious and more than we could eat in one sitting. Could not ask for more. Definitely recommend this place!”

“Always love getting my drinks here🤍”

“Thank you Ben for the excellent service!! We had the pork cheek app,and we both had the fried chicken. Both were done extremely well. The chicken was moist, tender and crispy. 4 portions of chicken on each plate with a very well made and generous corn bread. Again thank you Ben and the staff for the wonderful service”

“Yummy gluten-free arepitas and empanadas, and delicious coffee with warm hospitality, and welcoming patio seating!!”

“We came in town for a weekend getaway and found this place after being told a couple other restaurants were on a wait. And I am glad we did...Great food, great drinks, and the service was perfect! highly recommended!”

“The food and service was great. And they have Gluten free options.”

“The food is delicious, service is great, portions are big! Love this place.”

“I was greeted with a smile and a friendly “good morning” on entering Jitterz. The place is warm and comfortable, and the service is excellent. The delicious fresh pastries and coffee turned it into a great morning.”

“I've never been a barfly. Nothing against those who are, but it's not my style. I like a place where I can sip or swill good drink and have a good conversation and a few laughs with good company, whether friends or strangers, without having to scream myself hoarse to be heard. EJ's is like an evening coffee shop that way: good beer, wine, and cocktail offerings, and a few small snacks, all well-curated. Quiet, friendly vibe, like you'd find in any European outdoor bar or cafe. The one time I ever heard of a troglodyte trying to start something, the owner handled him with decisive authority and ejected him, protecting his customers and the vibe. A German friend was in town recently, and was blown away by seeing on the shelf a Munich beer from his neighborhood that had just started production maybe a year prior. This is the Goldilocks of wine/beer/cocktail bars: no snootiness, no boorishness. Just good folks serving good drinks like they know what they're doing. Dubuque's Millwork District is lucky to have them.”

“Great food and great service! Our waitress was very friendly! Be prepared to wait for your food a little bit, but it is worth it! Generous portions and everything was fresh.”

“What an amazing local place to visit. With all the changes in life, it is wonderful to know that this place is still fantastic. The food is fresh and made with love. The staff was so friendly without being overbearing. The restaurant itself has a home filled atmosphere.”

“Got a take and bake taco from them to take to Michigan! They put all the toppings in separate bags!!! We got it there safe and sound! Baking it was Sooo easy! Even fun popping the crust down!!! It was probably the Best one We’ve ever had! Thanks Happy Joes!!!”
