"If I could give this restaurant a negative review.. I would. Cindy, you are wrong for how you treated us. You came screaming at us cause our food was DISGUSTING.. under cooked, raw, and cold. The veggies were so hard it sounded like we were eating a chip. Absolutely disgusting. Claiming 2 of us ate all of our food. NOT TRUE. I have pictures of our plates that was clearly barely touched and I have a video of you flipping out on us. From the beginning. But for legal reasons I will not post. We have contacted our lawyer and you will be getting a notice from him. Pretty sad the police said this wasn’t their first time here because you clearly have anger issues. Even the police agreed to write a statement for us to give to the lawyer. They know you were very wrong. Showed the video and pictures .. they actually laughed at you for being so ridiculous. You’re embarrassing "

"I’ve eaten at Brazen a handful of times (for special occasions, as it is expensive) and have enjoyed every vegan special I’ve tried, from risotto to polenta to gnocchi to pizza. Dishes are made from scratch and are a thoughtful combination of flavors and ingredients that are sourced locally. I recently tried their vegan chocolate cake and it was the best chocolate cake I’ve ever had. They offer a variety of creative cocktails as well. Staff is very friendly and knowledgeable about the available vegan options. Offerings change seasonally and are not always listed online, so call to ask what the current vegan options are."

Pete's Thai Kitchen

➤ 609 E 22nd St, Dubuque, IA, 52001, United States

Menu • Thai • Asian • Steak • Fast Food

"We were never properly greeted by the hostess, who merely stared at us in silence before telling us we could take a seat. It was a two-minute wait before we were even acknowledged. After that, we waited over 15 minutes for water and menus, while guests who arrived after us received theirs right away. They also forgot to put in our appetizer order. To top it off, the waiter brought us the check before we had finished our meal, without checking if we needed anything else. He mentioned he had to bring it early because splitting the bill can be a hassle. The restaurant was busy, but not overwhelmingly so. Having worked in the service industry myself, I understand hectic days and being understaffed, but this experience felt simply rude and unacceptable. While the food was good, and I could recommend it for that reason, I would only consider doing takeout from here in the future. I also want to point out that the food is not traditional Thai. Overall, it was a disappointing experience, and I won't be coming back or recommending it to anyone."

Oolong Asian Cuisine

➤ 145 W 11th St, Dubuque, Iowa, USA, 52001, United States

Menu • Thai • Asian • Chinese • Japanese

"Some days you get lucky. And stopping for lunch at Oolong was a most fortunate occasion. First time here and we will be back. It’s not easy finding authentic Asian cuisine in Northeast Iowa, but these folks are a treasure worth a trek. Food, service, and facility all peg the quality meter.My Pad Thai rivaled anything I’ve had around the world in places where they didn’t speak English. My medium heat choice was rich and flavorful without overpowering the fresh ingredients. The plentiful fresh crisp bean sprouts and a subtle peanut sauce that did not dominate this classic dish made it an instant hit with me.My wife had a green curry with vegetables. Perfect! Her mild spice was still flavorful, but gentle out here in a part of the world where folks still often consider dill an aggressive seasoning. ;)The vegetables and generous Asian rice were perfectly al dente.The eclectic pan Asian menu appears simple at first, but the myriad of variations offered by our wait staff were as diverse and alluring as Asia itself.Get out of the burger and bar food box and give Oolong a try. On-street parking just a bit off the center of downtown Dubuque is plentiful. This is a no regrets real deal kind of place hidden here in the Heartland."

Thumser's 19th Hole

Menu • Cafés • Pizza • Burgers • Breakfast

"I recently visited the 19th Hole and enjoyed my time there. The restaurant features a spacious indoor dining area and an outdoor mini-golf course. We ordered burgers with housemade fries, and both were very tasty. However, the draft beer selection is somewhat limited. We initially ordered a Potosi draft, but it wasn’t available, so we opted for a bottle of Corona instead. One thing to note is that the 19th Hole is not pet-friendly. Overall, it was a positive experience."
