The burger and fires is pretty good. But everything else on the menu tastes like poor bar food. I usually don't order food here even when i'm hungry. The mozerella sticks were underdone, commensurate with he bad execution on all of the appetizers. The pizza is cheap.

Tonight I stopped by and the security guard at the door was rude and ruined my visit. The gentleman standing by him in a suit was very nice but the general security guard was not. I had planned on cashing in my Sportsbook winning tickets and then playing the slots for a while. Because of the rudeness I experienced within 5 seconds of entering - I cashed in my tickets and left. I previously lived in Dubuque for 15 years and would visit this casino weekly or more. Now I have a sour taste for the Q Casino and have no interest in visiting. This guard could use some customer service training.

Overall pretty good casino. Staff is very friendly they are willing to help you learn the game and what not. I enjoy going here when I find myself in Dubuque. They do get a TON of regulars so be aware if you are new and start messing up their game!

Decent casino. I was shocked and thrilled it was not filled with smoke. People were smoking but mostly everything filtered out quickly. A couple times people were smoking cheap cigs and that wafted over and was nasty but overall very tolerable. Lots of seniors gambling. There were plenty of tables and slots open. We saw Kings of Radio in the Q room. Way smaller than other casino theaters. There were a few tables and chairs scattered in the room but it was mostly standing. The sound was bad. Very disappointing. It was tinny and distorted. The sound guy must have been off that day. Bartenders were

Crap casino, will never return. Service was crappy, games were old. It's an updated outdated casino. So many other casinos you can spend your money at.

We chose this over the other casino because the reviews were better but there is nothing special about this casino. We lost money as expected. No one was friendly. The drinks are cheap but still cost money even if you are gambling. The water fountain wasn't working. Someone literally blew smoke in my face at the blackjack table. I understand there are regulations and statutes but this casino is less than great. I had the seafood buffet and the $20 buffet was better than your average $20 buffet or it would have one star.

Stopped in to see the Eli Young Band in August as part of their outdoor summer concert series. Parking was very easy. The casino was clean and spacious. The dealers were very friendly and even helped us try out a new game.

Before the concert we stopped in at Houlihan's- which is connected to the casino and hotel there on site. Convenient, decent food and service.

Access to the concert from the casino was extremely easy. Drink tickets were purchased with cash- there are ATMs on site. There were food trucks available on site which I thought was a great addition as the concert lasted a few

Food at Sports bar was average. No other late night options. Biggest complaint is the types of slots. Some of the newer, most popular slots they would only have ONE of each in the entire casino! Slots were just limited with what's on trend.

The Good - Went to see Jamey Johnson. Nice setup for the stage and good sound system. Standard goofy ticket system to get a beer which was cold and served by friendly staff. Nice enough room, maybe not quite as nice as you'd expect for a Garden Inn but clean and well kept. Craps table crew was fun and competent, no complaints (except maybe that last 7).
Good breakfast at the hotel with a friendly and good waitress.

The Bad - Houlihans bartenders (late afternoon shift) were slow, disengaged and just generally looked like they wanted to be somewhere else. The sports bar staff (late night) was

My wife and I have been going to the other local casino for a year now and this is our first visit to the Mystique! The buffet special is what brought us in on July 4th! We were both surprised! Very good food, nice service for a very busy event, clean, and nice selection!
I think we will be back for sure after we gamble a bit and find out the goodies they offer!

Have your IDs ready when you walk through the door or thou shall not pass.

I really like this casino more than the Dejope chains, it's much less smokey and the center bar in the casino is reminiscent of the casinos in Vegas.

The blackjack tables had really friendly dealers, maybe that's how I was able to turn a profit from my measly $20 buy-in. Most BJ and Roulette tables were $5 minimum.

The Video Poker machines are in the back, just look for a sign on the wall towards the back.

Overall, we had a good time.

The bartender in the casino was clearly inexperienced and had no personal interaction skills. We had only been at the casino for a little more than an hour (we each had time for one full drink and to order some food) and apparently that ONE drink was enough for her to think that one of us should be 'cut off' from ordering anymore alcohol (and yes...that someone was me...wah wah wah). Absolutely ridiculous. If you are going to work at a Casino Bar...you should know the difference between someone who is in a fun mood, vs someone who has had too much to drink

We went here in June 14 for a family trip. The casino and hotel were nice, modern, well maintained and the casino was bigger then expected. The Dog races were cool and the amateur dog races were funny. Their Staff was friendly at the hotel, Donna, Bob and Frank that work the table games were friendly and really great. The only disappoint is outside of them the other table employees were very rude. At times making comments such as "come on, what are you new" and made jokes to each other in front of the whole table. Other couples were offended and walked away that were not even with
