“So darn good! We were camping in town for an extended weekend, and we tried this establishment for our first meal. We ate here once a day after that, and we tried several things and everything was perfect especially the fries. Drinks and food are both well priced and well portioned.“

“Great food great prices great staff. You get exactly what u want everything has so much flavor. My favorite is the chicken bacon ranch wrap no veggies extra HOMEMADE Ranch. Yes the ranch is delicious. I always ask for extra to take home as the wrap is enough for 2 meals“

“The food was fantastic, the service I can't say enough about. It is some of the best service I have ever had. We were told by 3 different employees on the way out thank you with a smile. I would highly recommend!“

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

“For our first time at this supper club the food and service was just great. We had a great server, she was funny, always asked if things were OK, checked on our drinks great young lady. The only thing that we thought that could have been better was the salad bar. It wasn't anything to get excited about. I was looking for tomatoes, green olives, pickles, mushrooms, hard boiled eggs. But maybe they don't want you fill up on salad bar and not leave room for your main course. Which was great.“

“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 to Fueral Dinner Yesterday What a wonderful job and very good food I would recommend you to everyone I know“

“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 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.“

“CORRECTION TO LOCATION IS Perkins in Waterloo Iowa I recommend their meatloaf dinner, the salmon and any one of the soups. Plus they have great customer service. Krista is top tier in customer service!!!!“

“An exceptional dining experience awaits at Dockside Bar & Grille, where the focus on quality ingredients and masterful preparation shines through in every dish. The star of the show is undoubtedly their mouthwatering burgers, each one a juicy, perfectly cooked masterpiece that sets a new standard for pub fare. If you're looking for something truly unique, the handmade pork tenderloin sandwich is a must-try. It's a generous, tender, and crispy delight that feels both classic and innovative. And for those craving comfort, the homemade pizza delivers with a perfectly baked crust and fresh, flavorful toppings. Beyond the food, the bar is a true highlight. The bartenders are artisans, creating skillfully crafted drinks that are both visually stunning and perfectly balanced. Whether you're in the mood for a classic cocktail or a creative new concoction, they'll deliver an experience that complements your meal beautifully. Dockside Bar & Grille is more than just a place to eat; it's a destination for expertly prepared food and drink in a welcoming atmosphere.“

“I visited the Dubuque, IA Maid-Rite about 2:30 PM on Saturday, June 7. I ordered the Maid-Rite basket which consists of a Maid-Rite, fries and a drink (lemonade for me). The food itself was all good especially the Maid-Rite sandwich (I used to live in Marshalltown, IA a few blocks away from Taylor's Maid-Rite in that town). The service was just OK and perhaps a little on the cold side. I was not offered a refill on my lemonade, so I guess this means no free refills at this restaurant (ask for a glass of water or pay for another drink if you're still thirsty!).“

“Super friendly bartender and waitstaff. Love the converted industrial atmosphere and on site brewing. Great stop for a beer and the Brussel sprouts were delish!

Parking. Be careful, you might need quarters depending on where you park.“

“Awesome neighborhood bar vibe, great staff, lots of fun there!“

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

“excellent, fast and hot food. great service! the Eggs Benedict was fantastic.“

“Love love love the Broasted Chicken“

“You can’t go wrong with one of the best deals in town. I’ve been going to Jacks ever since I was a kid, and it still never disappoints. For $20, you get 8 pieces of some of the best chicken around, mashed potatoes, dinner rolls, coleslaw, and you definitely can’t forget the onion rings. That meal always hits. If you haven’t been to Jacks Chicken Palace in a while, do yourself a favor and stop in. Local spot, great people, and consistently fantastic food!!!“

“Here for the 1st time for my dinner and checking this place out ! The employees are awesome and serve my dinner in the timely manner ! Will definitely come to this place for more enjoyment !“

“We love coming in for the breakfast buffet. Lots of good food choices and my kiddos always leave happy and full.“

“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“

“Fat Tuesdays is little New Orleans ,but alot better you have all your family and friends with the best Cajun food just like the bayou so you need some great company or maybe just a Hurricane, you will leave with a smile.“

“My adult children and I met at Lina’s for food and drinks and it was fantastic. The food from Lina’s lounge and Thai Bistro was delicious, and we were able to sit outside with the kids and dogs. We highly recommend!!“

“The food is typical pub fare. Good, but not extraordinary. The view and riverside space is terrific. We had a group of 8, and the service was slow and not really enthusiastic.
Note that no separate checks are allowed.
Also, while there is a nice beer menu nearly all of them are out of stock--so mostly major popular choices are what's available.“

“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.“

“Enjoyed a great burger with live Music“

“They have done an AMAZING rehab of this store - I was mind-boggled! It's gorgeous, bright and opulent inside. I got back to my hotel late at night and all the restaurants were closed. HY Vee has a huge selection of pre-made, delicious food choices. Grab a fork, I forgot!“

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

“Best pizza and baked mostaccioli !!! Been coming here for over 40 years!!“

“This is a great restaurant in a bad location. The food and service was wonderful. We had Steak/Lobster and Beef Stroganoff with salad and bread. Because it's location is attached to a casino, the smell was terrible. There was a strong air freshener that just made the smoke smell even worse. We couldn't get over the smell and doubt we will return.“

“wonderful meal with quality family time (13 guests). Special thanks to Chris, our server, for your patience, Courtesy, and excellent service. we appreciate you!“

“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.“

“Went there for kids night. The waitress Michelle was awesome. I have a special needs child she was very patient. Very kind, and kept a smile on her face. Our food was hot, fresh when w got it. We got our drinks and appetizer right away. First time coming here and we will definitely be back.“

“We stopped at The Barrel House on our way thru Dubuque. Food was great, but our waiter Travis was outstanding! Very nice young man who did everything you'd want a great waiter to do! His mom raised him right!!!“
