23 Best Burger Restaurants near East Dubuque

“Stopped by Millennium Marina tonight for their $1 burger night and was seriously impressed.

I had two Old Fashioneds, a double-patty burger (happily paid for second patty), and an order of their beef tallow fries. Everything was excellent. The burger was hot, fresh, and packed with tasty flavor, super juicy. The fries were crispy, delicious, seasoned oh so well, and some of the best I’ve had in a long time. The Old Fashioneds were absolutely wonderful too. Some of the best I’ve ever had. And I’m picky about my Old Fashioned.

What really stood out was the atmosphere. The other customers were cool as hell, everyone was friendly, and it felt like the kind of place where people actually enjoy being there. I didn’t even eat outside tonight either. I’m sure that has a whole other level of amazing ambience with how nice the weather has been lately.

Sam runs an amazing business. She’s family-oriented, involved in the community, and it shows in how the place is run.

Great food, great drinks, great people, and a great atmosphere. I’ll definitely be back.

I’d give them 10 if I could!“

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

“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!“

“Stopped by for lunch yesterday (first time), and was thoroughly impressed. Clean, friendly, terrific burger, and fun bartender! I'll definitely be back!“

“First time visiting today. The service was amazing and the food was awesome. Burgers tasted like a old time burger. Will be back for sure.“

“Great food 10 out of 10 on these wings!!“

“Things have gotten better at this restaurant having Jeff's great hospitality, organized staff, good breakfast. It's definitely a 5 star in the Tri-State breakfast cafe's.“

“I was looking for a place to easily accommodate my group of 14 for lunch on a Saturday. With short notice they got us set up in the back room, Melissa delivered perfect service, all 14 meals came out at once, all the food was excellent and the price was very reasonable. I've driven past this place a thousand times and never gave it a thought. Now I will definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a good meal and friendly staff. Thank you Rhody's. You were yet another part of a memorable weekend.“

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

“We came with a medium size party. Service was good and the waitress was very nice, they were very busy which was likely why it took a little while for food, but the food was good. I had a fried chicken sandwich with a side salad. Their mayo and salad dressings came in packets and their salad was shredded lettuce that normally goes in tacos. Aside from that the food was really good. A few of us had burgers and they said they were cooked well with food flavor. Overall I would definitely recommend for a chill bar food atmosphere.“

“BIG THANK YOU to Shot Tower Inn Kunnert family!!! Awesome pizza, bourbon wings, fried ice cream & prayers 🙏“

“We drive past 2 of the chain DQs to go to this one. They should all be the same but aren’t — Rhomberg has ice cream and Blizzards that just taste better. Well worth the trip — it’s the only DQ we patronize.“

“After a bad experience at Taco Bell came to burker king. The man working was so polite and was not in a hurry at all. I was able to take my time looking at menu without being rushed. Very helpful with questions I had. Sad the ice cream machine was not working but he talked me in to the hersey pie yummy!. Keep up the great service :)“

“Latest Update: The owner of this Culver's establishment, called me and apologized very professionally, and with understanding. He explained the mix-up, as they had recently started serving smashburgers, the latest trend, I did not know this myself. I told him that the traditional Culver's Burger is what I wanted. In my opinion, sometimes traditional is best. He was very kind in his offer to make up for the mistake.

I mainly work at night, and yesterday I left on a 5-hour trip southwest, not eating any lunch or dinner, as it would make me sluggish for work. I worked overnight and then drove another 6 hours back to Dubuque honestly, looking forward to some Burger King, but when I arrived at 9:45 a.m., they refused to make me a burger and fries, because their policy said they couldn't serve lunch food until 10:30 a.m. So I said to myself, Culver's won't let me down, they'll serve me a burger and fries at any time as long as they're open, and they were, so I ordered a double bacon cheeseburger in the Drive-Thru. The attendant asked me if I wanted anything else on my burger besides cheese and bacon, and I said a light amount of mayo please. They said okay, and please move forward. I then requested an extra small fry at the window, and they added that. They then asked me to move forward after putting my number sticker on my truck mirror. After moving up multiple times, and eventually being the first car in the line, I noticed three people had been served before me, and they were behind me. I called culver's, and they apologized that they had served my food to another party by accident, and didn't bother to tell me, but instead hastily remade my meal. Again I had ordered a double bacon cheeseburger, with a light amount of mayo on it. They provided me a double bacon cheeseburger with pickles, onions, mustard, and ketchup on it, a sloppy, soggy, mess, and they rushed the cooking of the patties, burning them on top, and not cooking them enough on the bottom, and it looks like they smashed the heck out of the patty, as it does not look like the usual thick and Hardy butter burger patty (see the picture). The freeze must have been Doug out of the remnants of the last batch, instead of being made fresh, because they were all stuck together and not the hottest they could have been.
When I got home, 20 minutes later, expecting to be able to sit down, watch an old movie, and finally eat some good food, I opened up my food and put it on a plate, and saw this. I called about it, explain the screw-ups, and that I was allergic to onions (not something like a tiny bit of onion powder in ketchup, but full on onions and their juices), and the manager, Ann, was very bureaucratic about it very robot like, giving me the usual response that you would expect from management. "Oh, I'm so sorry for that. If you come in before 4:00 p.m., we will replace your meal for free, and give you a coupon. If you don't come in before 4:00 p.m., I'll have to mail you a free coupon." So I asked, "a replacement meal, after all these screw ups? How about a couple free meals, or a free family meal?", and she responded, "I'm sorry, I can't do that, but if you come in before 4:00 p.m. I can replace your meal and give you a coupon", her programming responded. It seems like a lot of fast food restaurants, even culver's, are now just a bunch of robots, that have no compassion, no care for their jobs, or the quality of their work, or treating customers with respect, and actually making up for three major mistakes in a row, giving my order to someone else, and not telling me, remaking the order but making it wrong, and cooking the food too fast on the remake, and creating crap, instead of food.

Update: Either a Culver's Bot responded to my post, or again they are shirking their responsibility of truly making up for this, by telling me to go complain somewhere else and give them some feedback; with no mention about ma“

“Derick was awesome. Quick with a joke and remembered everyone's name. Food was GREAT. Literally one of the better burgers I've had. The Road King on the menu. Bacon, homemade Cole slaw, topped with homemade buffalo sauce. Ordered mine with waffle fries which were cooked perfect. Recommend, recommend, recommend. A little dark, and kinda warm in there but I'm old so....“

“I just had a nice visit. They were friendly on the drive through. He was friendly at the window. Explained that my sandwich would be a few extra minutes because it was being cooked fresh and asked me to pull ahead. Brought out the food a few minutes later and all was good. Kudos to the guy running drive through. I know we all hear about the screw ups but I'd like the acknowledge the nice job.“

“I love Hardee's, but things just weren't right this visit. I ordered a roast beef with curly fries and a drink. The fries are drink we're great. When I started on the sandwich, I noticed the edge of the meat was dry and hard. The meat was tough and didn't taste like it usually does. I'm going to attribute it to a bad day. I'll go back again. I just hope it was a fluke.“

“Best customer service hands down! SPICY PAPPA“

“Very friendly, great food.“

“Our hostess Yolanda was awesome!
Very friendly greeted us with a smile and stopped by our table b/4 we left to say good bye and thanked us for dinning at Applebees.
It was only her second day on the job.
You need more people like her.

“Always a great experience!“

“Stopped in the evening/nights of 10th and 11th of July. The staff working were a group of young men each night. They were quick, polite, attentive, and energetic. Their service was excellent.“
