Nobodys a five star in my book. Kalmes (pronounced Kalmess by locals is a nice neighborhood bar not far from the Mississippi. Tuesday night is 2.50 1/4 pound burger night with 2.50 domestic bottles. The ladies doing the serving and behind the bar are awesome. Frankly, I sometimes come here just for the draft beer selection and service. Not always easy to find in Dubuque. Unless you really like Busch Lite. A local favorite.

Awesome service, with great dinner specials and dont forget, its a bar with a kitchen so they do have their priorities in order. Sports, food and fun at a reasonable price = VALUE. What more can you ask for? Oh yeah, their burgers are made from steak-trimmings from the other Kalmes restaurant in St Donatus... GET ONE!

I have not eaten at their restaurant. I have only eaten their chicken and mashed potatoes because they cater food where I work. But their chicken and mash potatoes are always great. I get two pieces of chicken, mash potatoes and gravy and a cookie and some other side for $6.50. I skip the sides and snacks though.

I had one of their burgers and I dont think that I ever had such a good burger before. Really juicy thick and big. I didnt ask but I bet that burger it is home made. Also the fries, I was addicted to them. I had to order two extra orders of fries. Totally recommend this place to eat.

Affordable, friendly, and great atmosphere!!! A must for anyone looking for down to earth service and great tasting food, without having to pay an arm and a leg. Definitely recommend all food, but prime rib, chicken, and black and blue burger are my favorites.

Best burger Ive had in a long time if not ever. My only complaint is that it was a little crowded and so busy that it took forever to get our order taken and for our food to arrive. Prices are decent but whatever your burger costs, its worth it. Delicious!!

Great service. Great food. Clearly a local favorite, but it was also a great bar for this out-of-towner to grab a low-key meal. I had the hand-breaded chicken strips and they were so good. My husband had the prime rib which was also excellent.

I LOVE this place! Food is great and the wait staff is phenomenal. The only bad thing I can say is that it takes FOREVER to get food. If youre not in a hurry and want a fantastic burger, Kalmes is the place!

Were the only ones in the place and after 45 minutes left because other people who came in later were getting their food and we didnt get anything. Was told the cook put the tickets up incorrectly.

Weird environment to be eating prime rib. It was ok though. Its a small bar in the middle of nowhere that serves ok food for the same price you can pay at a nice sit down restaurant.

Place was busy, but the food was good. The food was a bit slow, but the wait staff was very attentive. We had a large group so that could have been some of it. Ill be back!
