During my road trip to Chicago, we decided to stop in Galena for lunch on our way and I chose Big…read moreBill's and our group all enjoyed our experience here. This sandwich shop and coffee bar has a fun industrial and vintage charm, and plenty of seating throughout the location. The location was also well lit and airy, and I loved the exposed brick walls and fun eclectic frames along the walls. The service was also excellent and the girls who worked here were so sweet and helpful! My boyfriend and I both got the reuben and our friend got a chicken wrap. Both of them said they enjoyed their meals, and I thought my reuben was excellent and much preferred to typical road trip fast food stops. It was genuinely the perfect stop midway from Nebraska to Chicago, and a nice opportunity to stretch our legs and have a refreshing and filling meal. I would definitely recommend to try Big Bill's!

Got to say the lunch menu has more options. The prices are pretty okay for portions. Best place to get a sandwich or wrap around. It's a charming old place with plenty of seating. They have breakfast and lunch with lots of variety. Among the morning options are omelettes. The lunch menu features sandwiches. Has the classics and more. It's about $9 for the Hummus Wrap. A pretty filling thing stuffed with lots of it. There also was cucumbers and spinach. For sure it's a great place at breakfast. It's got a lot more options at lunch. They're closed Tuesdays.

Everything the three of us had was DELISH! The place has a cool retro vibe, but if I had to criticize one thing, it would be the lack of background music. There were 4 or 5 tables of people dining as we were seated, and I swear you could hear a pin drop because none of these older diners were talking. Not to mention they looked at us like the outsiders we were, LOL! As a result, our lively table became the focal point which left us somewhat self-conscious. Some Sinatra-era music would help this wonderful restaurant's atmosphere enormously! Overall though, a wonderful little gem of a cafe in Elizabeth!

First time bowling with my boys -- heavy balls, gutter bumpers & a dino ramp to guide the rolls. Giovanni wandered into other lanes , Sebastian tried speed-bowling like it was the Olympics, and Benjamin just wanted snacks . Hit their restaurant/sports bar (bright & loud but my kids handled it like champs): Shot Tower Pasta Kids cheeseburger + chicken strips w/ shoestring fries Fried ice cream Sopapilla dessert (fried dough with cinnamon & honey heaven) Shoutout to Ablyn, our rockstar server, for smiling through our chaos . Finished off with 2 hours in the arcade -- more money than I planned, but worth every giggle. Came for bowling, stayed for memories

A few things to consider before you dine here…read more - Extremely loud, its a bowling alley, and the night I was there, they had Trivia going on at the same time. You could barely hear yourself think. - Service was s l o w. More attention to patrons at the bar. Guess that is where the money is made. - Food. Had pizza and it was disappointing. Two pieces and then boxed up the rest and threw it away on the way home. Crust was awful...the toppings tasted like they had lived past their expiration date. Upset stomach confirms this. Absolutely no flavor. Will not be back, thank goodness just passing through town. Another note, just in case the owner(s) read this. The building has no architectural appeal. Did they have a sale on the ugliest color of paint? Looks like the other businesses got the memo, nice brick buildings. Would not recommend the pizza, and by the look of the dirty tables, I would say that there appeared to be many menu items that were equally LESS desirable. Its always good to end on a positive note, so kudos to the city as you have a cute town that appears to be growing!!!

Service stays quick, kind, and steady every visit. Prices stay fair for the portions and quality. The hollandaise sauce steals the show. It comes rich, smooth, and balanced. It lifts every plate it touches. Want a breakfast spot that feels like home and delivers every time? Birdies Bistro does.

Heading out of town after a weekend of shopping, drinks, and good times, we stopped by Birdie…read moreBistro for a hardy breakfast ahead of the ride. There was a 20 minute wait, which was expected at 9:30 am on a Sunday morning. Once seated, we were promptly given water and coffee, which we appreciated as we decided on our meals. As tempting as it is to try something different, I felt drawn to the same type of breakfast I had the day prior (see my review on Convivium); eggs over easy, sausage and bacon, with roasted potatoes. I also decided to order a side order of pancakes - after all, a growing boy needs his calories. As you can see by the photo, it came out perfect... and delivered 15 minutes after we ordered (is that a long time? It can always be faster, but I was ok with it). All of us enjoyed what we ordered and the coffee service was constant. I especially loved the sausage patties!!! Yummy! So I would definitely recommend Birdie Bistro when you're in Dubuque. Is it the best ever (5-star), no - I won't bore you with my reason why (to each their own). But Birdie should be proud.. Opened since 2023, you deliver in every important way: Great food, fair price, attentive service, clean, and welcoming. Great job!
