Very good food and drink. The food was delicious and interesting with large portions. Prices were very reasonable making the meal a very good value. Our server was above average and the dining room was updated. I wish I lived here so I could visit more often. It would definitely be a go to place if I lived in Dubuque.

We had an excellent experience at Pepper Sprout! Our food was wonderful and our waitress Fiona was one of the best we’ve ever had! We were a large table of 10. Fiona was excellent and witty and had a fabulous personality! Our table was very loud and obnoxious and she handled everything perfectly! She personally wrapped up our leftovers and made animals with aluminum foil out of them! Extremely creative! All of the staff were friendly and super attentive. Chef Kim even came to the table to chat with us. The Halloumi cheese appetizer was delicious and the Macaroni and Cheese was to die for and it was a huge portion. I had the best Old-Fashioned ever! We will definitely be back!!

Pepper Sprout lives up to the hype. My favorite part about the whole experience is the ambiance and mood within the establishment. The seasonal menus are unique and delicious. We had the pecan crusted walley and the meatloaf, but we definitely had a hard time deciding between all the fantastic menu choices.

We had plans to dine somewhere else but this place was recommended to us and we didn’t regret it. Everything we ordered was seasoned well and cooked perfectly. Word of warning, if you don’t like garlic, do not order the Ceasar salad. Fortunately, I am a garlic lover and it packed a punch but was delicious. I would go back just for this salad. Service was good.

What a fantastic place to eat! We got there early for our reservation and had one of the apple-flavored old fashion, wow it was so delicious. The bar staff was friendly and full of information about Dubuque, very personal. Then came the superb mussels in wine and onion sauce with delicate homemade rye bread mmmm. Wife had the best tenderloin filled with an incredible flavored butter on a bed of mashed, shivered carrots and pieces of broccoli. I had the stupendous NY strip prepared to perfection on the same bed of potatoes. Last but not least was the fantastic tasting lemon chiffon torte. What an experience, what an event. Best place we have ever eaten. We will return.

Nice atmosphere, service was great and the food was amazing! My husband ordered the New York steak that was on special that night and I ordered the Mushroom fettuccine with chicken. The steak was tender and juicy and seasoned very well! And the mushroom sauce was absolutely amazing. This will definitely be a place we will return to whenever we make it back to Dubuque!

Great service and delicious food! Our server Merrissa was the best! And she made swans for our take out, which I’ve never seen before! Definitely recommend!

Thoroughly enjoy our dinner, came in as a big group and returned the following evening because of how great the place is! Great cocktails, Gabriel the bartender was spot on. Wonderful menu options, we had the “Man” Candy and Brie as appetizers, enjoyed the shrimp, chicken and steak special in our party. Can’t wait to return on our next trip to the area and Field if Dreams.

Between my appetizer (artichoke dip- phenomenal) – soup (beef stew – absolutely packed with flavor), and the meatloaf (bacon wrapped, with fresh mozzarella, broccolini, and sour cream mashed potatoes), washed down with a good locally brewed IPA, this was probably the best 50 dollar meal with tip I’ve had in a long time. Plus a nice to go package! Highly recommend this place.

First time here and chose due to proximity to the hotel we stayed at. I just came to this review to say this — Please, for the love of god, lay off the Garlic. And this is coming from someone who loves garlic. I had a cesar salad and the beef stroganoff, and there was so much garlic I couldn’t taste the food. I did not finish the salad or the entree. It was very expensive food to not be able to finish it. I’m from out of town and am only in the region occassionally, and will not be returning next time I’m in town.
