    Great service, great prices and great food! Generous portions and friendly staff. Very tidy and clean. We wish that we had a place like this in our small town.

    The diner across from the kwik stop   haven't been across this stretch of US20 in years west of Dubuque. Usually it's north and south.

    #22/2022 A small little quaint local diner Very big with locals not too much with truck drivers it's a little bit of a walk from a truck stop but the people that stay next door at the motel frequent quite a bit too Classic Midwestern Fair Hours close early Monday and Tuesday from 7:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. The other days of the week they're open from 7:00 a.m. till 8:00 p.m. basically Wednesday through Sunday. Located at the freeway approximately 12 miles west of Dubuque Iowa there's a lot of industry directly across the way in the business park. This is a small little area I walked into the cafe sat down I was greeted promptly ordered some coffee. Looked at the breakfast part of the menu saw corned beef hash I asked was it canned she said it sure was the way I like it. So I decided I'd have the full corned beef hash with two eggs over medium flopped on top of course I'll throw the ketchup on and mash it all together and enjoy. I have hash browns and they have home fries I went with the home fries sliced potatoes on the grill and wheat toast. Food came out fairly quickly it was just the way I liked it corned beef hash was really good they give you some nice portions for the money and Tylenol a good value to me and although it's not a place I would be coming to if I'm in the area all the time because it is a little bit of a hoof especially for me. But if I ended up sleeping at this little truck stop I might walk on over again. But on this particular day I just wanted to sit down breakfast and I got it.

    I went to the Red Roof Diner in Peosta near Sundown Mountain with some old friends to reunite. Our waitress seemed to be in a bad mood by her attitude in her responses to our questions about the menu, but she provided quick and efficient service. I ordered a Greek Salad and a friend of mine ordered a House Club Deluxe Sandwich with Bacon. Both of our meals tasted good. Everyone in our group said they were pleased with their meals and service.

    This was $5.95!

    A great diner and very busy. We all walked in and they had a party of 30 in there! It was no matter, because we were served just like the place was all ours. I did a one egg breakfast with hash and rye toast, and of course I needed help to finish it. My Hubby tried to go lite with a breakfast sandwich, because he knew he might have to help me. But when they offered griddled onions and cheese on his hash browns he could not refuse, lol. Needless to say, neither one of us ate until a late dinner. Very nice servers and a great place.

    At least it's cheap

    Mediocre at best. Prices reflect the quality for sure. An old fast food restaurant turns into diner . Place was half full . Servers running around not knowing which direction to go. Sadly this could be better . We ordered a garbage basket , salad & soup to start. They told us there was no more soup but then proceeded to bring to guest arriving after us ? My wife got the chicken breast , me the quarter chicken . Again price met even though mine was way over cooked flavor . Not sure what the chicken breast , mashed potatoes were a joke .was swimming in . Sadly due to poor service and quality I will not be back .

    Soup of the day.

    Nice surprise. Plenty of home cooking. I had the patty melt and fries. Plenty of other options available like liver meatloaf chicken breast spaghetti tenderloin chicken and cod. The patty melt was great. Grilled onions and a slice of melted cheese added to a great lunch sandwich.

    Navy bean soup. Hardy and filling, with actual meat. A little on the salty side, but very good for the price and area

    It's a cute family owned restaurant. Some of the food is amazing but sometimes it's a bit boring there.

    The food is always amazing, always fast no matter how busy, service is quick, they are very nice no…read morematter who has served us, lived in galena my whole life and never had a bad experience old owners or new. The vibe in the building is adorable, comfortable, and homey. but ALWAYS make a reservation, they're a small establishment and are very good, so a reservation is necessary. and if you are planning on eating there during the summer, make sure to make the reservation weeks in advance, they're booked quick because, well it's great, and summers busy. If you are unable to do stairs though, make sure you request the downstairs area!

    Located across the river from Maine St, this quaint old house turned restaurant is worth the stop…read more There is on street and public parking available. I would recommend making reservations as it was consistently busy. We opted for seats at the bar to avoid an hour wait. This place is tiny, so it would not be ideal for large groups. It would be difficult to accommodate someone who could not navigate stairs (there are both stairs to enter as well as a staircase for most of the dining space). Servers were friendly and helpful, the right amount of attentive. The food came out quickly. They offer light lunch, brunch, breakfast fare, with specials, and baked goods from Lola. A popular special is a homemade pop tart, which has rotating flavors (today was blueberry with lemon frosting). We opted for French Toast, pork belly, and the country skillet. Everything was delicious and portions were generous. All around a great find.

Right from the start the hostess was rude. I thought maybe it was me, but observed her rude to others. This is a restaurant's first chance to set the tone, and she is not doing them any justice. We got a table and ordered drinks. My mom got the loaded Bloody Mary, which she said was delicious. It also was LOADED. Get this for sure! My SIL got the broasted chicken and said it was tasty as well. If you like chicken, it would be worth trying. Sadly I got a Mushroom and Swiss burger and it was fine. I always get burgers well done from a food safety perspective. It was medium at best. We already waited 40 minutes for food so I didn't send it back. The server never came back to ask how our food was either. My niece got a grilled cheese on the kid's menu. It was 90% bread for a 4 year old. Parents don't get this option! It's not worth the money. I know they were busy so trying to be respectful of that. Unfortunately the service was slow, the staff lacking and the food average to below, so go for a drink but choose your food wisely.
