Restaurants in Galena

“Their homemade soup is so good and the sandwiches amazing. You definitely won’t go away hungry. 💯 Best place to eat !!”

“The best Irish Benedict l have ever had. Fresh homemade corned beef. My wife had French Toast. Her first comment after the first bite. OMG is this good. If you are in Galena Charlie's Place is a MUST stop.”

“Delicious Breakfast! Highly Recommended”

“The welcoming was such a great first impression. To our server Makayla that was outstanding. Her first time serving and only 3 months there was like her being a server for years. I was so impressed with her knowledge, recommendations and awesome attitude. She is so passionate about her service. Every staff member recognized our Anniversary. It was a memorable experience. Thank you Makayla Kimberly and Mark”

“The Korean tacos were to die for, the atmosphere is cozy, the old fashioneds are strong and the service is great. What more do you want?”

“Had the Bills Benedict and husband had Ireland Hash. We finished both and it was sooooo yummy. Will definitely add this to our breakfast rotation. I really like the variety of teas.”

“Great service, amazing food and phenomenal desserts. We can't wait to stop again on our next visit!”

“Amazing stop to finish our day shopping downtown. Food was excellent and the service was amazing! Stop in- you won’t be disappointed”

“Went on the tour and tasting this afternoon. Pam was knowledgeable, great at communicating the history of the distillery and excellent at levening the tour with humor. The distilled beverages are excellent and I can't wait to share the bourbon with my family and friends.”

“Been to this Pub many,many times. We live close by. Always been a fan of the Shepherds Pie. Whenever we have visitors we come here because everyone wants Shepherds Pie! Went to dinner tonite 11/3/22. Original recipe Changed. Terrible mistake. It was horrible!! Someone made a big mistake in changing recipes. So disappointing.”

“amazing meal and fantastic server (Logan) Every dish is superb.”

“Authentic cuisine in a romantic bistro setting.”

“Great Blood Mary! Friendly staff 🤗”

“Stumbled upon this adorable little bar while visiting two friends in a small town, and honestly, it stole my heart. The vibe is cozy, the people are lovely, and the energy is just chef’s kiss. One of my friends works here, and it was such a joy to see her in her element, welcoming, friendly, and making the place feel even more special.

Now let’s talk about the tiramisu cocktail… WOW. It was like dessert and happiness had a baby. Creamy, sweet, and just the right amount of boozy, it’s worth the visit alone!

If you ever find yourself nearby, do yourself a favor and drop in. It’s the kind of place that makes you feel like you’ve discovered a secret and you’ll leave with a full heart and maybe a tiny buzz. Love you paula”

“An intimate setting with authentic, delicious sushi and other Asian dishes. There is truly something for everyone here. Our party found stuff for sushi-snobs and those who are new to sushi! Best sushi in the area. 100/10. Will be returning!”

“excellent mocha, treats, empanadas, service and environment! it's so uplifting stopping in there!”

“The first time my son and I went in about three weeks ago and very friendly lady waited on us. We had a great latte. I had the orange and white chocolate and I couldn’t wait to go back again. Then today we did and not only was the latte not as good. I couldn’t taste the orange at all. (The friendly lady was there but didn’t make our drinks) but the girls were complaining about someone being from Wisconsin while they were at the drink counter making our drinks and how they have people from Wisconsin. I’m not sure if they were talking about me and my family BUT we are from Wisconsin and were standing right there and could hear everything they were saying. My daughter heard them saying this also. I was not impressed at all today. Which is sad because I really talked very highly of the place to my husband when I got the first coffee. And so did my son. I made a special stop there today and was really let down. I guess I should have just stopped at Starbucks that was next door to us in Dubuque but I would rather support a small, local business. I hope next time is much better again or I probably won’t be back again.”

“Klein’s bakery is the bomb! It’s a “must stop at” place when visiting Galena. Their banana bread and cookies are delicious. Friendly service too.”

“We were recently in Galena and purchased a bag of coffee and syrup along with the coffees we drink in the store. We left our coffee and syrup there and came home from vacation without them. They were so kind to ship them to us. Their coffee is awesome.”

“I had a burrito bowl, and it was so good. my first time trying their food, did not disappoint. fast and friendly service.”

“Food was very good, prices were good and the service was excellent. Sure wish we had tried this place sooner. Much better than other places we have tried in Galena.”

“Found my pizza & salad fix in Galena ~ woot! I’ve tried two pizzas they both were OH SO good! The simple salad dressing is refreshingly simple & delicious! The delivery gals were so sweet- good to know there’s a restaurant in town that delivers with a smile and everything you need to dine in at home with a local pizza joint that delivers! Ty guys!”

“Hubby and I ate there today and the mac n cheese was great Hubby also enjoyed his brisket sandwich. I would definitely eat there again!”

“Visiting from out of town. 6 of us girls met up at Gobbie's for a drink and lunch. Food was amazing. I got the vegetarian pita. Portions were so big. Meal also came with a salad and some type of beer nugget appetizer. It was so good!! We sat outside on the patio. Staff was so nice and friendly. Definitely recommend!!”

“Hands down the best Fish and Chips!”

“We had a great afternoon in their igloos! They were so kind and attentive! We had kids with us, but they even had flights of sparkling grape juice for them.”

“Went to Ayalas for the first time. Was pretty good! Cheese dip was priced well, quesadilla was super good, and our server was awesome! It’s a neat place!”

“Great outdoor and indoor dining. Fudge are so good. Very instagramable place”

“Such an experience! We stumbled on to this place and instantly fell head over heels for the owner, (Jaime) and her adorable pooch Ted! Linda mixes a mean mixed drink! Highly recommend, new friends forever!”

“Had bfest and later in day stopped for ice cream. Quality & great prices, definitely take time to stop in!”

“I went here 2 nights in a row while in town. Once with old college friends and had the 24 oz. Ribeye. Was awesome. A buddy had pork chops that were huge and very good he said. The server wasn't too worried about the 4 of us until we started grumbling 30 minutes in with only one visit to our table. We were thinking of leaving and he over heard us. Almost overkill after that but that's ok.
Next night came with my wife and friends. I had the 18oz prime rib and she had lamb chops. Both were very good. Server was excellent on this night and they didn't rush us out 20 minutes after closing.
Definitely a "go to" place in Galena.”

“This place is pretty rad! My wife is a BIG pasta lover so we had to stop in and check it out! They have an entire gluten free wall which is just awesome to see as well! Give this place a stop if you are looking for a blend of unique pastas. $$$”

“Ignore the 80s-90s decor, skip the 40-minute waits downtown, and eat at this place. The service is FANTASTIC, breakfast is FANTASTIC, and it was fast (also FANTASTIC).”

“Thank you for an amazing time and for safe ride home. You guys are the best!!!”

“They serve Cedar crest ice cream! Which is some of the best (in my humble opinion)! You could honestly just spend time in this ice cream shop purely for the smells... due to the deliciousness of waffle cones wafting through the air! If you like coconut, get the coconut explosion. It is next level good!”

“This place is great. The food and drinks were awesome. Our server Aleska was super nice and very helpful.”

“Gentleman in the window had an awesome personality, i wish we caught his name! Everything was hot and fresh! But what im here to really rave about is George's chilli, this is soo good! Stop by and try it if you get the chance!”

“I want to thank the girl who made my sandwich! I had done an online order and mentioned a food allergy forgetting to add it was garlic. She went ABOVE and beyond and I can begin to thank her enough! I will definitely be coming again!”

“We've eaten here several times now. Our food & service has always been quite good. Bar service & table service, there is a casual section and a back room that is a bit more upscale.”

“Beautiful place for a sunset dinner. I always try to eat outside for the view. My favorite is the Margherita pizza on a cauliflower crust. I've never found a better cauliflower crust.”

“Fabulous location overlooking a lake. Lobster ravioli was delicious with 2 tiny lobster tails adorning the dish. Happy hour on Tuesdays netted a terrific price for wine. Great service.”

“After playing The General, we love to come back to Highlands for dinner. Sat on the patio overlooking the 18th. Perfect weather, views & service. We had great drinks and dinner, our server Nancy was perfect…And it was her first day!”

“My wife and I stopped at a local competitor right up the street and were disappointed and left right away. Our next stop was Galena brewing and holy wow what a difference. The beer and vibe were on point but Kyler was the one who won us over right away. Great energy, great hospitality and took care of us amazingly (and we are easy to please). Five freaking stars and we would come back to seem him any day he is working!! This is the spot!”

“takes forever and horrible food do not eat here I did not reccomend this place”

“We had my sons birthday party tonight and we reserved the party room. I just wanted to take the time to say how extremely happy we were at the food and service provided! The brunette with glasses (I am so sorry for not catching her name) made sure everything was great and was on top of our drinks, cleaning and service. We look forward to enjoying several more Happy Joe birthdays to come!”

“Great local restaurant!! Wonderful staff. 😁”

“We always enjoy this restaurant. We ordered the Bruschetta, which is amazing, for an appetizer. We shared an entree, Baked Seafood Fettuccine. Delicious, and a generous serving. The salad is always fresh and delicious. The dressing is outstanding. We always buy a bottle to take home. The garlic bread is also outstanding. Vinny Vanucchi's never disappoints!”
