You have to try the baked mac ‘n cheese, generous portion baked in cheesy tasty w a decent pull.
Home made slaw with sweet carrots & poppy dressing and the iconic potato salad were refreshing.
Add a can of soda for the classic bbq feel! Make sure to follow them to their new location. Next time I have to try the brisket.

Upon entering the restaurant I was a little weary. There were a few pool tables, some pinball machines, and a few tables scattered around the room. There was also a bar located further back near the kitchen. I sat at the bar. The female server was very prompt and friendly. I’m assuming she is Frannie. I asked what the restaurant’s specialties were and she mentioned pulled pork and chicken wings. I decided to go with the fried catfish, which comes in filets or nuggets. I also chose coleslaw as my side.
The restaurant appears to be a neighborhood favorite. While I was there a few other people came in to dine, and many people came in for takeout orders.
After waiting about 10-15 minutes the cook brought out my food. I must say the coleslaw was delicious, and the fried catfish was probably the best I’ve ever had. Very flavorful and crispy. My bill was about $15
I don’t live in Iowa, and don’t make it to Dubuque very often, but next time I’m in town I will remember that catfish.
She also told me about her brother’s food truck, near me in Minneapolis. I will be checking it out when I get a chance.
It did. It absolutely did. I was stunned by how good everything tasted. The ribs were excellent – lots of flavor without being overly smoky. The peach baked beans – which I thought sounded a little gross when I first heard it – were incredible, and I don’t usually like baked beans. The mac and cheese had a fantastic baked crust on top just like mom used to make. Finally, I had the peach wrap, which I would describe as one of the best things I’ve ever eaten in my life. It was “lick the plate clean” good.
It’s not just the food. The owner is very welcoming and incredibly generous. If he makes a mistake, he makes it right and then some. Clearly he values repeat business and I can guarantee you he’s getting it from me.
I love this place!
