Tony Roma's - Dubuque

One of our 2 favorite places to visit in the city. Great river location, outdoor dining (with live music often), great food and service.

I’m gonna say I had a good experience here. The plate I ordered was good. I had full rack of ribs with sweet potato fries. At first I thought the fries would be soft, but turned out crispy with a great new flavor I never had on sweet potato fries. The ribs were so big I took home half for later in the week. They were fall off the bone with good taste. We sat outside and it was a pretty view towards the river.

Great food, just like many of the other Tony Roma's. Now this location gets extra stars for location! It is located on the 2nd floor of the hotel, and you can ask to sit outside on the patio which is on the river... Great drinks and even though everyone in the country is short staffed, the workers here handled everything quite well. The space is a bit old tattered. Just a lot of little things... The salt pepper shakers have bent lids. A light bulb is out in the hanging fixture near the patio door. One of the paper light shades centered over a table is ripped. Flatware is of nice quality but two different patterns that we noticed. Plastic disposable salt and pepper shakers on the tables to the side of the bar where you can peek thru the windows and look into the big water park. And a paneled column has some dings in it right at eye level. Now, all that said, Tony Roma's still gets 5 stars! The prices are reasonable, the portions are nice, the food is amazing, the presentation is good, the service is friendly yet professional, and this location is the selling point. On the river, inside the hotel, across the parking lot from a casino, across 2 parking lots to the museum and aquarium, and next door to a massive indoor water park!

I went with a group of 4 adults and 4 kids. None of us had a complaint about the food.or the service. I ordered the ribs and they were cooked so perfect that the meat slid off of the bone. We will most definately be going back.

Very happy with our experience here. Dubuque is having a city-wide pandemic related crisis with staffing, etc. We were really having a tough time finding restaurants to accommodate us. Since we were staying at the hotel, it made sense to make some reservations. We were NOT disappointed. The food was perfect. The service was spot on, during a busy dinner time, with a group of 10 people. The server was very friendly with our kids. Probably the best dining experience we had this particular weekend!
