The Big House: Eating & Drinking Emporium — Restaurant in Dyersville

The Big House: Eating and Drinking Emporium was a pleasant surprise. Even though the address is listed as Dyersville, the pub is located a few miles northwest of town. If we had not been looking for it we may have missed it completely. We traveled to this area to watch a friend's band perform. From the outside the building appeared very plain and simple. On the inside I was surprised to find a restaurant that looked similar to what I might find in a larger City. Although the area was small it was nicely and decorated with updated furniture and other amenities. It appears to be a local tourist attraction as they had their own items including t-shirts. They have a nice pub-style menu including traditional items such as Burgers and Fries. I particularly enjoyed the fried pickles. The company was pleasant as this appears to be a regular stop for many of the locals. The wait staff was very knowledgeable of their menu and drink items. They were very friendly and did a good job of keeping up with the demands of the patrons. This business is a nice addition to this area and I will definitely go back when in...

Good road house type of place. Had burger & club sandwiches. Quick service, good sandwiches. Older bartender guy kinda surly, but not offensive, other young lady very nice. They were getting ready for live outdoor band - sounded pretty good, but we had to go. Note: there is no signage outside. Trust your Google map to get you there and look for the open sign...

We brought a family group to celebrate an anniversary. Norie and her crew had it all set up for us upon our arrival. They had chicken, ribs, ham, and prime rib prepared for us. The food was tasty, the servers were great, and the location is easy to find. We brought singers for the karaoke, and they sang until midnight. It was a fantastic time! Thank you Norie...
