    Best tenderloin ever!
    Pat G.

    St Olaf, Ia. "1R's Tap" . 5 star dining. The absolute BEST tenderloin I have EVER eaten. Humongous! Thick! Delicious! The beer batter fries and the jalapeño poppers were to die for (almost). My sister and I give it five stars. Only 1 1/2 hours from C.R.

    Awesome place for beer and tenderloins!! 2nd best tenderloin in Iowa!! Perfectly seasoned and breaded. They accept credit cards now...

    Think outside the bun!

    Had a great hand made pork tenderloin and it was great. Homemade onion rings were also very good.

    While in town for a college visit with our son, we walked from our hotel down to The Vault for…read moredinner. We have a restaurant locally (in Southern Illinois) with the same concept and name. It's also located inside of an old bank, so we wanted to check this one out. We were seated immediately and received great service. The waitress was new, but already familiar with the menu. She made recommendations and was very attentive. We started with the pretzel and I can't wait for you to see the photo of how huge this thing is! We all three ate some of it, and there was enough for two people left once we were all done. It's massive! For the entree, I had the chicken quesadillas, my husband had the salmon bowl, and my son had the French dip. The food was all very good and if he chooses Dubuque for college, we will definitely be back!

It's right in the downtown area, so it's perfect for dinner before a show or casino visit. They have a nice selection of sandwiches, pastas, and entrees. I got the California Burger with grilled chicken and truffle fries. All very tasty. We also shared some cheese curds which were amazing! We devoured those. They come with ranch of course and a Melba sauce which was unique. It gave a good sweet and salty mix with the curds. The service was also quick and friendly. Definitely check out if you are in the area
