    This is our go to breakfast spot when we visit. Prices are reasonable, service is good and the place is always packed. If you're in the area I highly recommended this place.

    The waitress was sassy, friendly and so fast! I think beginning to finish we had food in front of us within 10 minutes. The food was great! Humongous portions and well made.

    Great service, food came out so fast, and it was delicious! Great pit stop for brunch right off the interstate.

    Food is good Service spotty Ambiance is pleasant Place is packed weekends Thus service a little slow but otherwise a great place for the value.

    Sunshine family restaurant was a nice place to eat in Dubuque, close to the hotels downtown! We had a good experience. My favorite thing I had were the delicious hash browns!

    Even though I stayed at a bed and breakfast I wanted to try some local flavor for breakfast so I stopped here. The place is nothing fancy and full of locals like an old cafe. My server did a great job and got a 50% tip, I didn't catch her name. I ordered the southern sun rise breakfast which is 1/2 biscuits and gravy, two sausage links, two strips of bacon with two eggs. Everything but the eggs must have been pre cooked because my plate hit the table fast and nothing was hot off the grill. The biscuits and gravy was weird because it had a couple big chunks of sausage patties. The eggs were cooked perfectly sunny side up. The sausage links were average and bland. The bacon was left over crispy/thin, pre cooked. Overall my breakfast was very average and not seasoned at all so next time I will try the other place in down town.

    Nice ambiance: quiet in the afternoon. Walking back into time. I had the seared ahi tuna salad…read more Good sauce and everything crispy fresh. The waitress was very attentive and friendly. Honesty is another reason why I'll recommend Copper Kettle. My husband left his credit card behind. The next day we discovered it was missing. She had it in the register. Nowadays most restaurants will destroy them.

    Our family had a day trip to Dubuque, and my brother suggested this place. I had not heard of it…read moreand am always up to try something new and unique. 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.

    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!
