Norie’s At The Big House (the Big House)

I'm always exploring restaurants around Dyersville and Dubuque County to learn more about the area and support local businesses. So glad that I found Norie Thuerauf's The Big House earlier today for a terrific breakfast with a great atmosphere.Less than a 15-minute ride from the Field of Dreams Movie Site, The Big House offers lunch seven days a week and dinner six times, but this was breakfast, and it was pretty good, provided only on Sundays!Located across from a glorious church in the northwest corner of Dyersville, The Big House features a large dining room with sensational breakfast options served in buffet form. Eggs, bacon, pancakes, hash browns, cheesy biscuits, multiple stroganoff dishes, ham, sausage, and spicy meatballs at the end of the room, an all-you-can-eat meal for just $10! And they had great desserts that were outstanding!Bianca, our server, was kind, personable, and attentive; the head cook, Marlene, was interactive and talented. Norie, who has had considerable local success in previous dining establishments, came over and said hello, answering questions and being a friendly host!A solid positive recommendation here, a great place to visit on a Sunday morning. I'll return soon to try some of their Asian cuisines for dinner. So good to see another breakfast option in the Dyersville community!

Great food with a wide variety on the menu, reasonable prices—definitely would visit again!

As for vegetarian options, I've only tried breakfast so far, but I noticed they offer a vegetarian choice, and the menu indicates that substitutions are available.

I've visited this restaurant a few times, and the burgers are fantastic. However, during my last visit, I ordered the prime rib, and it was excessively salty, making it inedible. I'm not sure if it was just an off night for them.

The atmosphere is average small town bar. The service was attentive and friendly. The food was fresh and well prepared. We has cod fish dinner. Great for the price. The beer is cold. I would recommend the Sunday breakfast. We came back a second time and enjoyed the breakfast.
