House Of China Co
Jul 7, 2009 by Nate from Canton, Michigan

Overall Rating: 3
Food:[1] • Service:[8] • Atmosphere:[8]

• Environment.
• Food.

“Did not even taste like Chinese food. The food was very bland, didn't have much taste to it. Spent around ten dollars for a good size plate of food that could feed 2 and was not worth it at all. My girlfriend and I went here and we were so upset. The fortune cookies were the best part, seriously!”

Olive Garden 1516

• Food was great.
• Staff was lousy.

“I was in Dubuque for a wedding and we ate at the Olive Garden across from the Fairfield Inn on Dodge St. The minute we walked in the atmosphere changed. We did get seated quickly, but it took the waiters forever to get to us and they weren't very friendly. I am used to the hostess saying something friendly like "thanks for coming" or "come again". There were at least 5 people at the hostess stand and they just looked at us as we walked out, very unfriendly. Only good thing about this experience is the food. I can say the Olive Garden in my neighborhood is very friendly and make you feel at home.”

Marcos Pizza
Jul 15, 2008 by Matt from Worthington, IA

Overall Rating: 8
Food:[9] • Service:[9] • Atmosphere:[6]

• Food, service, size.
• Physical appearance.

“One of the better restaurants I have been to. The inside looks rather run down: wood paneling on walls, thin paper placemats with Italy on it, worn down carpet, smoky (however, smoking has since been prohibited within restaurants in Iowa). However, the service, food, and overall experience was top of the line. They give you quality food, give you honest, sincere service (they actually seemed to enjoy their job). Even Jay Leno approves of it.”

Dempseys

• Not much.
• Attitude, wait staff, willingness to soak every red cent out of you.

“Restaurant now known as Davinci's-Food acceptable, but not as upscale as the price. Waiter was new, didnt really listen. When ordered a drink, had to repeat and still got it wrong (higher cost naturally). Restaurant has the nerve to charge $2 if you want ice in your cocktail-then tells you that because ice is in the glass, there is more alcohol. Yep, I was born yesterday and its a good thing because I wont find my way back to this destined for closing place of business.”

Four Season Buffet, Inc
Mar 16, 2007 by Lisa from Canada

Overall Rating: 7
Food:[9] • Service:[7] • Atmosphere:[8]

• Quality of the food.
• Something orange in my cup of coke.

“I enjoyed the food very much I liked the choices that they had but has I was drinking my coke I noticed something orange and I picked it out with my finger and it was all mushy and stuck to the cup. I was so disgusted and walked out and could not enjoy the rest of my meal I did not say anything or made a fuss because if I opened my mouth I felt like I was going to get sick. Just a suggestion check your class before you begin to drink. It¿s sad because I really did enjoy there food but now I wont be able to go there anymore because I will be to paranoid.”

• Was seated right away.
• Never was even acknowledged.

“Olive Garden advertises that when "you are there you are like family." Their family must be awful because when I was there I was seated and ignored for 10 minutes. I debated trying to see just how long they'd ignore me but instead walked out. (FYI, I was dressed business casual as I was traveling on business, am middle aged, clean cut looking) Even when I walked out, the 3 young women watching the front were oblivious and never even asked me how my meal was. (just as well)

Dubuque has many good restaurants, I was going there out of convenience to my hotel, I don't know how they will ever compete against Marcos, Marios, etc with incapable service.

Save your money and eat elsewhere when in Dubuque, in my opinion, and you will be better off.”
