About
In case the rain took you by surprise during the promenade around National Mississippi River Museum & Aquarium, stop by this bar. Perfectly cooked ribs, pork and sweet fries have a nice taste. Good draft beer is among the most often ordered drinks at Mason Dixon. The warm atmosphere of this place makes guests feel relaxed and have a good time. The patient staff welcomes people all year round. The spectacular service is something these restaurateurs care about. Prices at this spot are worth attention since they're democratic. You will be pleasantly surprised by the homey decor. Google gives it 4.2 so you can select this bar to have a good time here.

Despite paying generous tip "in cash" to the bartender. They added extra charge on my credit card next day. The owner needs to pay them good so they don't treat the customers like that. Service: 1

Nice look place. Modern but old wood feel. 9 large flatscreens to watch sporting events. UPDATE: wings are amazing! Have them fixed naked and choose your favorite dipping. Ranch is homemade!!
I bought the cod planks that came with 2 sides and got the fries and cheese curds. When I got the bill there was a $6 upcharge for the cheese curds but I wasn't told that when I ordered. When I brought this up to the server he said that he didn't know there was an upcharge until after I already ordered and then walked away. Poor service. Food: 3 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 3

My experience was less than ideal. I understand that a Saturday night can be very crazy and that staffing is difficult. However there are only a few tables in the place. We asked the bartender if we could sit in the open table. He confirmed with the waitress that would be fine. The bartender gave us our drinks and we went to the table. The waitress walked by us multiple times in the 30 minutes that we waited at the front table. Did not ever acknowledge that we were sitting there. Not even a "I will be right with you!" As a former server, you at least make eye contact and acknowledge when walking past. People at the bar that came in after us had their order taken and we didn't get so much as a Hi!.We left money on the table that hopefully covered our drinks and left because we couldn't even get the attention to pay for them. Only positive was the music was great while we were sitting there!

I have and will continue to drive an hour out of my way with coolers in my car to take home as many ribs as I can haul away. OUTSTANDING ribs and wings (and fries) that will make you wonder if you're still in Iowa. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
While I was a little reluctant to have a nice family lunch in a restaurant that seems a little heavy handed with the Confederate flag... I was pleasantly surprised. What a nice place to grab a beer and meal downtown. (There are no flags inside, fyi) The decor is top notch. Sort of a southern, whiskey bar kinda place. Lots of TVs for sports. The drink selection is pretty basic, but we had no problem sucking down some domestics. The food was better than I expected, with the Reuben seeming to be the highlight of the menu. Can't wait to give that Cuban a try!

This is neat looking bar with a western style. We stopped in to watch the Packer game on our way through. They have 5 large TVs over the bar making it great for watching sports. The bathrooms were clean and the food was good. I had the Reuben which could have used more kraut and dressing, but was good regardless. The beer was good as well and they have a decent selection. The reason I couldn't give 5 stars is due to the fact that I am a beer drinker that prefers draft beer. They do not have any taps. Other than that, I would definitely recommend this venue.
December and it's cold inside, I'm not cold much but everybody here has a coat on. Jade is duty, great personality and good bartender. She cannot change thermostat. Food was satisfactory, drinks too. Best part was service was the best. Seriously too cold for comfort.
The weekend bartenders are sociable and actually want to make your experience there a good one. I had the ribs and thought they were tender and without flavor. I didn't taste any dry rub at all. I came in in Wednesday and the girl behind the bar seemed reluctant to take my order let alone talk to me (I was the only one in the place). I think this place is hit or miss on a good time. Physically the place has an attractive, country cabin-like aura.
