Everything we had was delicious! We both started with the caesar salad with homemade dressing, which was devine - the dressing has a kick to it, which we loved. Hubby had the boneless kobe ribs which were served with cheesy grits. He loved both, said the ribs were the best he's ever had. I had the ribeye, which was cooked... More

This is a nice place to eat, with everything I had delicious, but it's pricey. They offer some unusual dishes that can make your visit special if you are willing to try something new, but it's not so special that they will get me back.

I love this small, low-lit, charming restaurant that always promises a unique and flavorful meal that changes with the seasons. It's always my first choice for a special occasion.

I chose this restaurant for its menu, which the chef/owner who has been there 11 years, calls a Midwestern Menu. It is a seasonal menu and so in January it featured slowed-cooked meats like venison, bison and lamb chops with rich sauces and sides of chipotle mashed sweet potatoes. The menu also offers more standard items like ribeyes, pasta and... More

Although getting out and about does not happen as often as i like the Pepper Sprout is for sure one of Dubuque's best! Food is always top notch as well as the service. Russ is top notch in the front and Kim always makes a great meal!

Absolutely incredible meal. Menu changes with each season. If you go in the fall and the pork shank is available - it is delicious. The toffee pudding was incredible. My husbands steak was perfect.

Ate at Pepper Sprout recently for the first time for a couple's dinner, and had a nice time. The deviled eggs appetizer was delicious. The walleye entree and the bean cakes were both very good; nothing to critique about the food. Portions were big -- no complaints about that either, unlike some other reviewers. The service was somewhat slow, but... More

My husband and I each had the chef specials for the night. I had the swordfish. It was a larger portion and was cooked perfectly with capons and a wonderful tangy sauce. My husband ordered the pork special. It had a great complimentary sauce and was extremely tender. The waitress had a bubbly personality and was very knowledgeable about the... More
