Came here for lunch on Sunday May 19th. The burgers were flavorful and juicy. The service was good with a nice beer selection. Not a large selection, but decent. Best of all they had the Marquee network playing the Cubs game! read more

Stopped in this bar today while up in Dubuque for an award ceremony at the University of Dubuque. The place was clean and not very busy being we showed up after the lunch rush. The service was impeccable and the food was perfection. The bartender was even singing along as he worked. Definitely a fantastic experience, keep it up and check this place out. read more

Awesome! Drinks are on point. You can blindfold yourself and pick anything off the menu and it will be great. Our party chose the Goat cheese & bacon burger with fries - huge, flavorful and delicious; the chicken bacon ranch wrap with fries was also a great choice and two of us split the Ikonomopoulos Steak bites which they served each us our our half. The portion size for sharing was spot on and the taste, a MAY zing! When you are in Dubuque, don't walk by...run in! You won't be disappointed! read more

Unimpressed. Walked in at 9 pm on a Friday and had to wait at bar while one bartender talked to friends and made drinks with them and other seemed to be working. Asked for a beer and a menu and other bartender dropped off beer and walked away. 5 mins later I asked for the menu again and same guy said "kitchen is closed". Could have saved me 5 mins and a beer and a bad review by just telling me that when I asked the first time. Seems like if you aren't a local or friend of staff, don't expect good service. read more

Service here was excellent and the food was good after a long day exploring at the aquarium. It was sports bar themed.

I usually add a photo of my entree but I will in the future. This place is small but it he food and staff are amazingly good. This is my new favorite place to go when in Dubuque for a meal and drinks. The signature drinks were awesome and the prices were reasonable. The bartenders were able to provide some guidance on what we would enjoy and they were spot on. The dipping sauce for our cheese curds as a side was a heated raspberry jam which was amazingly good. read more

Great place to grab a bite to eat and a cold beverage! Always has great service and We highly recommend!

Everything about this visit was a nice surprise. Great service, tasty food, and I even tried a new beer - the Pseudo Sue. I usually don't like IPA's, but this hit the spot. Plus the atmosphere was spot on for me. I wish I was in Dubuque more often. read more

I am surprised at how high of a rating this store has. The food is subpar at best and you can tell they use some cheaper ingredients. The mac and cheese bites are terrible, they have an odd jalepeno and cheese taste with a fuck ton of salt. Then I had to pick out some sickly looking lettuce from my chicken caeser salad. The chicken tasted like it was from a bag? The way it is sliced and then roasted makes me think it is not fresh chicken but rather frozen. I tried to ask my waiter but he said he had no idea and walked away. Thank fuck I don't live in Iowa and I never have to experience this place again! Blue cheese dressing is good my dad says. read more

Food was amazing. Burgers were cooked to perfection. Bartender was engaging! We will return!

Had an amazing time at Baraboo's tavern. I was stopping in Dubuque for 1 night on a work trip and wanted to get out of my hotel room. I was greeted by Chad who was funny and great to be around. The cheese curds were amazing. I'm not a big fried food eater but was recommended by another customer to try them. They were spot on the raspberry jalapeño was fantastic!! This spot will definitely be on my list when I come back to Dubuque again for work. Thanks Chad!!! read more

Baraboo's on Main - Fried cheese curds with raspberry jalapeño and ranch dipping sauce - Pubs Near Me - Dubuque, Iowa

Stopped for lunch on our way to Galena. Food and service was great! Good food options.

Had the goat cheese and bacon burger. OMG. So yummy. I was worried that the meat wasn't going to be up to my standards but it was juicy and delicious. I substituted the fries or chips for the cheese curds and they were also great. Very nice little place. Worth stopping! I read so many good reviews and I'm so glad we came here! I forgot to take a picture of my burger because I inhaled it so quickly! My husband had the steak quesadilla and said the steak was amazing. read more

Food was really good. We don't like the bar scene in general, but the bar was empty and the tables were full--we got the last one at the window. Nice seat. Awesome cheese curds with raspberry jalapeño jam. However, they posted that there is a 5% discount if paying with cash. So we did--and there wasn't. We never received a final receipt as when using a credit card. I don't know if the server pocketed the 5% or what happened. We waited at our table and tried to get his attention, to no avail, so we left. Beware. read more

Saturday night busy but we got the only table left. Service was quick, attentive and friendly. Drinks were good but I was hoping for some more unusual/creative cocktails, they basically renamed classics. The college football games were on the TVs which added to the casual atmosphere. From what I saw the place was clean and I heard the men's bathroom had some interesting art which made me wish I had visited the women's room to check it out. I got the goat cheese and bacon burger which was delicious. The jam with the goat cheese just made the burger amazing. read more

Stopped by for dinner early on a Saturday. Gets crowded. We sat at the bar and had a great view of the TVs. Food was good - had burgers. Bartenders were friendly but very short staffed. Mixed crowd of young and old and fairly noisy. Would go back on an off hour next time. read more

One of my new favorite places to eat and grab a drink. We get the crispy buffalo nachos and they are amazing. Also tried the goat cheese burger and it was on point! The owner is a really nice guy and the service is very fast and attentive. Ambiance is nice and relaxing. Definitely recommend! Bartender is friendly as well. read more

While in Galena we popped over to Dubuque to take the kids bowling at Cherry Lanes. We usually just get food from the snack bar there. It was closed so we looked up a few places on Yelp and stopped at Baraboo's. As soon as we walked in the bartender pointed out a table and came right over for drinks. He was helpful and funny and it just created a really nice vibe to start the meal. The kitchen staff was small... I think just two people cooking and bringing out the food. But the service was quick, the food was hot and we were checked on in a way that was attentive but didn't feel rushed. The fried Mac and Cheese bites are the best I've ever had and the raspberries jalapeño jam should be bottled and sold. This is a tiny spot but should definitely get on your radar. read more

We ate here while we were in the area to visit the Field of Dreams in nearby Dyersville. It was a good choice on our part. We sat at a high top table, but there were plenty of low tops too if you don't like to sit up high. I don't usually sit on barstools because I'm so short (it's sometimes hard to get up on the stool) but there wasn't much choice when we arrived, but it was okay. The place was hopping! I think it must be a local hang out spot. They had some interesting things on the menu, so my husband and I chose two and split them so that we could each try something different. One of the dishes we got was their Door County Dip (must be we were sitting in Door county). It was not your usual French dip. It had provolone cheese on it as well as sauteed mushrooms and onions. It was a bit messy (I ate my share with a knife and fork), but it was good. The other dish we had was their spinach artichoke quesadilla. That was messy too, and it was also good. Both dishes were very plentiful, and the dip came with fries. We had to take our leftovers with us, it was just too much food. Our waiter was very attentive......sadly I can't remember his name........it was something different. He mentioned that he did not ordinarily wait tables as he usually just stayed behind the bar. I liked him and he did a very nice job. read more

Amazing food. I recommend the blue cheese burger and American fries and a Guinness! Bartender, kitchen staff and owner are great to have a conversation with. They have an extensive beer list. Atmosphere is cozy. If you're lucky you can sit at a table in the front window. read more

Amazing service , guy behind the bar was really hustling ! Food came out quick. Highlight was the fried pickles.

OUTSTANDING!!! Honestly we came here to eat only because we are from BARABOO, WISCONSIN! However, a huge bonus was that this place is AMAZING!!! First, it has a nice vibe- clean, comfy, classy. And my boys tell me it has a hilarious urinal worth a visit. Second, the service was quick and our server very friendly. But, if that isn't enough- THE FOOD!! Wow wow wow!! We shared a burger, steak salad, and INCREDIBLE nachos. Everything was perfect. If we are ever in the area again. We will for sure be back. Wish we had this place in Baraboo! Second location... read more

First time and I was impressed. I ordered the buffalo chicken salad and my husband had salad and soup. He said the soup was good but had too many beans in it. Staff was very friendly and hard working. Parking wasn't bad however it was on a Sunday right before noon. Not a lot of seating so I'm glad we were early. read more

Great food, friendly and attentive service, fun atmosphere. We will be back whenever we are in Dubuque!

Waiter was nice and friendly. Not like the last time we were there when the waiter was so lazy to go get a fresh gallon of milk and ended up giving my grand daughter sour milk. This waiter went out of his way to make us feel welcome. We were there 6/30/25 1pm. read more

Found this place by accident but so glad we did. I had Soup and Salad on my mind - but a lot of sandwiches options. Chicken Tortilla Soup and Salad with Blue Cheese Dressing was special - even though it's simple. Cold refreshments and atmosphere for a hip crowd. Will come back again. read more

The food was amazing and wasn't too expensive. It's a family-owned business, and the decor emanates that well. The owner was amazingly nice, and even gifted my group free cheese curds for sharing a conversation with him. read more

Baraboo's on Main - a sign for the neighborhood tavern - Pubs Near Me - Dubuque, Iowa

The service was good (fast and friendly). The ambiance is cool, it has entertainment related artwork on the walls. The Italian beef sandwich was good, we really liked the pickled veggies on the sandwich. The au jus was a little salty. The fries were crispy. Service was fast. While the food was good, we were pestered by flies while sitting at our table, they were landing on us, our food, and our straws. Lastly, their Internet was down so it took forever to get our bill (20+ minutes). I was told I could pay in cash, but it still took a long time. The server was great, she apologized profusely. The server offered a 10% discount for paying with cash, but the manager told her to charge us the full price. read more

Excellent burgers! Thursday is usually a special with a beer and a burger for 15 bucks. Can't beat it. Good atmosphere too. We will be back next time we are in town! Oh and service was great even though it was busy! read more

Bartender was great, they were slammed. My wings were kind of dry I wish they would have sauced them up a bit more.

Fun atmosphere. Good, fruity beers. Some good Bears, Cubs talk. Good food. Very enjoyable.

Lunch visit was awesome! COLD beer and a Ruben to die forFries were cooked perfectly! Other family members went for dinner. Same Review. Friendly staff, great service, perfectly prepared and presented. Absolute five star‼ read more

Awesome burgers! Highly recommend this place for food. The smoked drinks are a fun touch as well

Dined there last evening with a friend. I had the chicken Caesar wrap, and we shared the Ikomopoulos (sp?) steak bites. I had a coupla Blue Moon wheat beers. My friend had Manhattans. The wrap was excellent, the accompanying fries fine as well. The steak bites were flavorful, but tough as could be, to the point that I had to give up on chewing a couple of them, which is never a good sign. Service was attentive without being intrusive or gratuitously familiar. Would have been nice to have at the tables a list of the beers available, instead of having to ask the waitstaff what was on offer. Worth returning to and trying other items on the menu - and learning what beers they have. read more
