    The Dog House Lounge in Dubuque, Iowa.

    Simple! Friendly! Delicious! Clean! I grew up in Dubuque. The Dog House Lounge was always there - midway on my walk home from Wahlert High School. My wife and I went there for the first time during a recent trip back to Dubuque. We saw the great ratings and read the reviews. So we gave it a try for lunch. We are glad we did. We ordered a couple burgers and fries. They were delicious and exactly what you're looking for when craving a good ol' pub burger. The atmosphere was inviting and featured billiards and darts. We were impressed by the cleanliness. Our bartender, who was also at the grill, was friendly and helpful. The patrons were noticeably friendly too. Many greeted each other with a hearty Hello and a first name. Some included a hug. The absence of "Hard Drinking" characters supported the friendly pub-like vibe. We will be back.

    Stopped in on a whim and were delighted to find a "Pirate over 50" playing! Great 70's music. Apparently they do this every Sunday afternoon! We'll be back! Service was excellent.

    The food left a lot to be desired. The wait staff had so much perfume on that you had to hold a napkin over your face while trying to eat.

    The best part about the Dubuque Mining Company is the atmosphere--it feels like stepping straight…read moreinto a scene from Smokey and the Bandit or any classic 1980s trucking movie. The décor strikes a perfect balance between local flair and vintage diner charm, packed with enjoyable little tchotchkes that give the place a personality all its own. The waitstaff is fast, friendly, and on top of everything. Service is efficient without ever feeling rushed, and the prices are more than fair for what you get. The food? Exactly what you'd hope for from a great diner: simple, satisfying, and delicious. Dubuque Mining Company delivers exactly the kind of experience it promises. The only reason it's not a five-star review is because it can be tough to get a seat during peak times--but that just proves people know it's worth the wait.

    Dubuque Mining Company is a fun, nostalgic, local, casual establishment for pub fare style…read morefood/burgers with great happy hour specials! I went to the Dubuque Mining Company many times growing up in Dubuque, IA area in the 90s/early 2000s. Although is not anything fancy, it was always a very popular place inside the Kennedy Mall great for get togethers with friends and family while even a great place to watch sports. My husband and I recently visited Dubuque Mining Company while visiting Dubuque. This place still has great variety of burgers, sandwiches, and some dinner specials such as sirloin steak at affordable prices! The real reason people come here is for the incredible cocktails! Definitely try their most popular drink the "Cave In" which comes in a giant glass quart mason jar! The Cave in is seriously one of the most delicious fruity cocktails you will ever have giving you a nice buzz which is a mix of Gin, Vodka, Rum, orange juice and six mixers. Since the drinks are delicious but potent I wouldn't have more than two or have a safe way to get home! My husband and I started off with the cheese curds which were okay but it threw me off that the Dubuque Mining Company doesn't make their own restaurant style in house made ranch which I took a star off for. When I asked for ranch they only had Hidden Valley Ranch Packets. As a ranch dressing lover, I honestly judge restaurants on their ranch :) which I love dipping my fries in, eating with other sandwhiches, salads, and cheese curds. We also got the chicken sandwich and the Kinda Reuben burger. Both were a nice portion size and delicious! Our friendly server delivered excellent service by being very attentive! My husband and I enjoyed the Dubuque Mining Company! Definitely check out the Dubuque Mining Company if you are looking for a casual fun place to get some great drinks and burgers!
