I am a Dubuquer who moved away 40 years ago, but visit family often. I sought-out Cremer's for their highly rated turkey and dressing (terrific) and brought home some beef meatloaf and gravy for my Chicagoan, and very picky, husband. Both were a HIT!!
Another spot for me to stop and discover new & tasty eats! Thank you!

OK I just moved to Dubuque and was told to become a real local I had to get a turkey and stuffing sandwich from Cremers! What a delightful place! The place is legendary and a staple to Dubuque!
It's more than a turkey sandwich! It's a meat market, grocery store and fresh veggie place to!
We grabbed amazing turkey and stuffing sandwiches and bought fresh thick slice bacon, tomatoes and lettuce for BLTs at dinner time. Also bought homemade potato salad!
Going to be my must stop place now that I have moved here!

There is LITERALLY no better meat in the Tri-state area. Hand cut steaks cut just the way you like them by a butcher that has been doing it (as far as I know...) his whole life.
