I called and spoke with a very nice gentleman, and asked to reserve a table for 12 for a birthday party, and he said no problem at all. The food came out fast, hot and fresh. The gentleman behind the counter was very friendly and helpful with explaining the food to those of us that had never been there before. We will definitely be back for sure.
This was our first time at Zeke’s Island Cafe! The staff was so helpful as it was our first time trying out the food. Our favorite was the Huli Huli Chicken. The Caribbean Seabreeze Lemonade was mind blowing. Definitely give them a try!

Stopped here for something different after a long time in the plains. Ended up getting walked through their concept by someone who was very friendly, and even got a free drink sample. Enjoyed the huli huli chicken, and their lemonade was great. Note that non-spicy is their default on everything, and even a mid tier spicy level isn’t very hot here. Went lower because of being nervous at the one Thai place in Spokane but just be ready to ask for a higher number if you want heat. Still can’t complain about them making such good food for everyone, and hopefully this place is around for a long time because the idea is great.

The music and theme of the restaurant really make it feel like you are on an island. The helpfulness of the kitchen staff is tremendous and go out of their way to make you feel at home. Try the natural juices since they are tasty amd sweet. Will be back soon.
Parking: Can get busy on the weekend which makes it hard to find parking but well worth the hunt.
Kid-friendliness: Spices can be put at a minimum from 1-10, and the food is healthy for them as well.
Wheelchair accessibility: Parking and room to maneuver inside of Zeke’s is great.

We stopped on our way to Des Moines and we were so glad we did. Great ingredients, tasty flavors, and beautiful presentation! The background music added to the atmosphere. I asked our host Jason (? ) if he knew who was performing a certain song and he admitted he didn't know. Minutes later, he stopped by having found the answer! It was a fine lunch all around.
Parking: Very close to the door.

Simply the best meal we've had since moving to the Quad Cities 9 months ago. Tremendous flavor. Great service and great overall vibe. Had the huli huli chicken nachos.
A Chill atmosphere. Fresh light food is definitely here at Zeke's. I had the Jerk chicken with 8 out if 10 heat in the sauce. Fresh pineapple as my side. I'll be back.

This place is SO AMAZING. The owner is so friendly, ingredients are fresh, I ate half of my pulled pork nachos and had to leave a review before I ate the rest.
I went here in 2023 when I was in town for a tournament. They had a few vegan options and the food was great. I came back in January 2024 and they don't have the tofu anymore, but they have a rice and black bean bowl which was really good. The person working there said that they normally keep some tofu on hand, but it wasn't fresh when I came.

Showed up on a Sunday for lunch. Ordered the island tacos and asked him to bring the heat, I was not disappointed. The flavor was excellent and the music had us dancing in our chairs.

We ordered four nachos half pounds and the two gentlemen that were helping take our order and making our food were awesome! Not only that but their food is 10 times better than Hawaiian
