Additional Comments Not the greatest food, but a decent place to stop if you are ever heading north on the Great River Road in Dubuque County, IA. Reasonable drink prices with typical bar food. Steaks and pizzas are pretty good. Weekend specials are good too. Friday all you can eat fish fry.

 

If you stop here, let me know, I live just a couple of houses down.

Additional Comments My wife and I go to Country Junction on Sunday mornings for their "All you care to eat" breakfast. Start with a cinnamon roll, then dive into the unlimited fried or scrambled eggs, authentic pork sausage patties, bacon, toast, hashbrowns, and orange juice.

 

Their meals are served with generous portions and made from scratch. Top notch traditional home cooked food.

Additional Comments This is the ultimate place for home cooked meals at a reasonable price. Plates are filled like mom used to do. The service is what you'd expect from a family restaurant. They sell bunches of nick knacks and mementos. Just a great place to visit. *Note* I'm unsure if they serve liquor or not but their homemade apple dumplings with ice cream are the best in the world.
