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!

This DQ really has that southern hospitality feel. I'm from Louisiana so this is a pretty important factor to me. The food is not only good quality, but it is delicious! I always try a different ice cream and you gotta try their pizza burger! Furthermore, I will drive many many miles just to eat at this DQ. There are so many Dairy Queens out there but at this DQ you are the queen.

Food is very good, but I don't recommend the French fries as DQ changed them to very thin fries and they cooks over cook them, making them inedible.

We are regulars for take-out here and usually love the food. When we got our food home, it was…read morepretty obvious they had run out of supplies. The containers for the burgers were generic styrofoam instead of the brand cardboard ones. The biggest disappointment was that they had gone and purchased blah buns somewhere. They weren't the same flavorful and soft buns but dry and not even fluffy ones. I suspect they did a run to a local store to get them. Hopefully they will restock with the correct buns soon.

We love coming here for the 3 piece chicken strips, fries, drink and sundae meal offer. The fries…read moreare delicious and perfectly cooked. The chicken pieces vary a lot in size and often times, someone gets 3 extra small pieces, some mixed and some normal sized. Sometimes they try to make up for smaller pieces by putting 4 pieces in but not consistently. The chicken is delicious. Usually the Sundaes are made with ice cream, strawberry syrup and another fallow of ice cream. Tonight, it was just the first ice cream dollop and then the syrup, leaving off the second dollop. The ratio was definitely off tonight, for the first time. The place is clean and brightly lit. I do wish the soda machine didn't have so much carbonation. It takes forever to fill a cup with all the start and stop for foam to go down. I do wish there was more consistency here. It seems the employees each do their own thing. I did notice that the guy working tonight seemed to just be going through the motions and he is the one who made the sundaes.

The reason…read morefor only 4 stars is because the fries cup wasn't even full, and there were absolutely no extra fries in the bag, as per the usual. To make matters worse, they weren't fully cooked through and a bit raw (warm temp and gooey) in the center. Some were completely translucent in color still. They just weren't up to the usual delicious hot fries we are used to from here. It was a bit busier tonight and one of the soda machines had a sign over it saying the ice was out and to use the other machine. For once, the music wasn't super loud, which made for easier conversation.

And I don't mean just "Hold the pickle, hold the lettuce, special orders don't upset us" - I mean grilled onions, jalapeños, mushrooms, green peppers, A-1 Sauce. A nice set of options. And the fries? They are locally sourced - I think ours were from a farm near Centralia. Truly are hand cut, fried to perfection, and an extra scoop in the bag. And I always love a place with a Coke-centric "do it yourself" beverage center. Friendly service - although that's a standard in Iowa. Too much ice in the parking lot. But that's not their fault - and also - standard for Iowa in the winter.
