46 Best American Restaurants in Davenport

“My husband and I live little over an hour away. We enjoy coming to the quad cities often. We by chance decided to try out Monarch Kitchen + Bar based off of their rating. All I can say is I am so impressed. Impressed with the care and quality of food. The wait staff are amazing. I am a person who doesn’t use seed oils at home. To know I can go out and eat somewhere and know the ingredients are fresh and good for you means everything. We stayed two days and ate there for lunch and came back the next day for dinner. We loved the lo mein and the garlic aioli fries, but honestly everything we tried was amazing. It is now our new favorite restaurant in the quad cities. We will definitely be back and will tell our friends. Thank you for making our trip even more special!“

“Stepping into Me & Billy’s in Davenport felt like teeing it up on a perfect Saturday—everything lined up just right. From the opening drive, Morgan and Cassidy set the tone. They played the round like seasoned pros: attentive without hovering, polite, and always one step ahead. Their cocktail game was pure shot-making—creative, well balanced, and happily customized to fit exactly what we were looking for. No mis-hits anywhere. The food? Absolute center-face contact. The chicken and dumpling soup was warm, comforting, and full of flavor—like a reliable approach shot that sticks the green. And the ribeye steak sandwich was the ace of the day: cooked beautifully, packed with flavor, and truly out of this world. That’s the kind of shot you talk about long after the round is over. The atmosphere sealed the win. With SantaCon rolling through downtown, the place turned into a holiday scramble—30 to 40 Santas stopping in, high spirits everywhere, and a festive energy that made the whole experience even more memorable. It felt like playing in a charity tournament where everyone’s having a blast and every hole is a good time. All in all, Me & Billy’s delivered a flawless round—great service, outstanding food, and a lively environment. Easily a clubhouse-worthy finish, and absolutely a place we’ll be coming back to. 🏌️‍♂️🎅“

“Server was great! Food was very good. Gift shop is nice.“

“I used to drive 200 miles to buy POPEYES chicken NEVER AGAIN
DAVES HOT CHICKEN is the VERY best --- fries are great chicken is better than GREAT.
If you have not tried Dave's -- you are missing out.
I will never have to drive 200 miles to get great chicken again“

“Six of us met for lunch today! Our waitress Grace was very attentive! Food was excellent! We were all served at the same time! Fun atmosphere!Highly recommend!!“

“stopped in to get a quick bite to eat while waiting for the bus. the atmosphere was great and the staff were friendly and very helpful and they have the best taco salad around! whenever I'm back in Davenport I'll be sure to stop by again“

“I LOVE that you don't have Miller lite-bud light-coors lite on tap! only your own beer!“

“🥰Great dishes at good prices. Never worry about bad food here. Great staff. Everyone has a smile!“

“This was our first time here and it didn't disappoint! The food was amazing, seasoned perfectly and the onion ring half order was still more than enough. They have a robot that takes the dirty dishes to the kitchen then back to a corner until next time. Our waitress was friendly and knowledgeable. Will definitely go back.“

“My family and I were very well accommodated by Colleen (manager) and Erica (server/bartender) for what was an amazing area to host a graduation dinner for family and friends. This private, elegant area would also make a great space for bridal showers, rehearsal dinners, etc. I was obsessed and we were so so lucky to have exceptional service for a short-notice event. We enjoyed the broad selection of drinks from the bar and the delicious food. My favorites were the Mo’ Dough appetizer and the Fowl Play turkey sandwich.“

“Came for the five dollar burger baskets on Monday. We had excellent service. The burger baskets were amazing. They accommodated our group of 10 with a smile. We will definitely be coming back. Shout out to our waitress Becky. She did an excellent job.“

“I love Maid Rites. However it took HALF AN HOUR to get 4 Maid Rites. 😢😢 Maid Rite on Division St. (There were only 2 tables when I got there)“

“It was an amazing experience! The server/bartender I think his name was fingers & he was so personable and made it a memorable experience for my mom’s birthday! The duck wontons are TO DIE FOR & that phoenix pizza is 🔥 ! The only complaint I have is the salad tasted like dirt you could tell the romaine wasn’t washed well or something cause I couldn’t get passed the overwhelming earthiness of my garlic salad . All the drinks were amazing & if I had to recommend just one it would definitely be the nerds martini! I will be back and I would definitely recommend this place for any birthday , anniversary or just a nice dinner! Don’t forget get a piece for that homemade cheesecake either 🫣“

“Nina, Antonio, and their staff are awesome! I ordered grubeez for the 1st time today and loved everything we ordered! The Cajun shrimp is delicious and their spicy cheese curds were bomb! Thank you Nina, Antonio, and staff!💚💙“

“Lori had a BLT; she said it was good.
I had the walleye (fish). It was great! I'll be back every other Friday for AYCE walleye. Why every other you ask? We have game night, and pot luck, at our church, New Hope in Coal Valley, every other Friday!“

“Food is a 10 out of 10, service is a zero out of 10. Our service was Maddie and she needs to go back to waitress school. She is absolutely horrible, if I knew she was going to be my waitress the next time I went I would never go again. I could go into everything that she needs to improve on but not going to waste my time.“

“The food is spectacular! Chef Jeremy is amazing!“

“I haven’t ate here but picked up DoorDash today Valentine’s Day and the gal at the front was super. They were slammed due to two no shows in the kitchen. She kept a great attitude and was doing her best. I will be back to eat.“

“Excellent beers and staff is fantastic“

“steaks are really good and so are the drinks“

“Love the breakfast menu........ Always delicious!......and the coffee is great!“

“karoke with robert , 🎤,the food&bargirls,allens ok too😁“

“Raw is easily the best cocktail lounge in The Quad Cities. They use fresh, quality ingredients in their food and drinks. Everything's wonderfully curated. A rare big city feel while still being intimate. The bartenders are the best ever! They are really friendly and great at crafting premium cocktails! A true gem for downtown Davenport!“

“I was not prepared for the insane amount of beer on tap! Incredible selection, and a knowledgeable bartender that helped me narrow down exactly what I wanted. The food was delicious, and there was a variety of seating options. I also got a free beer with my entree“

“Only good thing about this place is the view. Went last night to celebrate a birthday and I spent more time waiting for my beer than being able to sit down and enjoy my time. 10+ minute wait for a beer with only 5 People around the bar is pretty ridiculous. Needless to say I was pretty upset by the end of the night.“

“The Family Restaurant is a go to for my wife and I. They have incredible food with staff that is always friendly and ready to serve. There is a small discount for paying with cash. They serve any food all day.
You will not regret giving this place a try!“

“Best service around!!!! Some of the best bartenders in Davenport. Come see Alicia, Taylor, Bailey and Shanell behind the bar. You won’t be disappointed“

“Love love love Culver's. I'm glad we don't have these back home in California because I would probably eat there daily. Haha. This place is amazing. I've never had anything bad here. The custard is incredible and the butter burgers are next level.“

“My husband and I live in the neighborhood and had several people tell us to visit. My only regret is we didn’t go sooner! The staff were all so friendly, generous portions, one of my favorite pancakes I’ve ever eaten. We will absolutely be back!“

“Hadn’t been here for about five years and the only thing that changed was the side the brunch items were located. The food was still very good and the staff was outstanding. Emma was our server and she was very attentive to all the tables she was responsible for. Highly recommend and please check out the specials they have throughout the week.“

“We were in town for a Volleyball tournament and a friend recommended this place for breakfast. So glad we took him up on his recommendation. After being served the best breakfast, by the friendly staff, I was surprised this place wasn't packed for breakfast. It's got a great atmosphere and wonderful staff and good, hot food. Prices are fantastic, too. They also offer lunch and dinner. I will be going back when in Iowa next month. Highly recommend this place!!“

“Wow!!! This Culver’s has historically been quite bad with regards to service. We went there tonight and it’s like a new store. They had iPads that they were taking orders on and we pulled up to wait for our food and it was brought out in less than 5 minutes, they didn’t forget anything and they brought out the ice cream with the hot food. We have always loved the food but the service has been a big deterrent. I’m glad to see they are working on making it better.“

“Our first time here and it was super delicious and the staff was awesome and super nice and helpful!“

“Good food, friendly service“

“Very friendly and all the staff was just great during our visit for brunch. Our waitress was very nice and food was great. We will be back again soon during our next visit to my Mom's.“

“I had the most AMAZING CHILI DOG I have ever had. BRAVO to you Sir!“

“We used Famous Dave’s for catering our employee lunch. Food is delicious. Range of BBQ in packages comes with it too! We thoroughly enjoyed!!“

“We had lunch at this location after having a bad experience at the Elmore location after the general manager offered to make up the bad experience to us. I’m glad we gave them a second chance. Michelle our waitress was fantastic. She was also working as the hostess of that moment and also was very attentive even though she was the only one in that area. I will be visiting this location again unfortunately unfortunately the original visit we had at Elmore was not good, but at least I know we can come here and get treated well and also the food was good.“

“Bar has great service, help in every aisle.“

“First time there today! Amazing food, service and the best music! Thank you! Exactly what we needed and we’ll be back soon!“

“Ask for Jade!! She was the best waitress that we could ask for!!! She needs a raise for all she did!!“

“Our bartender Nikki was great! And the food was awesome. High recommend Cajun pasta & cosmic cow stout beer.“

“Staff are super nice and good food“

“An excellent venue for birthday parties and other celebrations. Wonderful staff very attentive to our needs, and a very clean environment. The arcade games are spectacular and they have Lucky Putt golf, which is a great time for kids. Recommend with highest levels of satisfaction!“

“Stopped at this Applebee's on Elmore after a day of shopping. My steak was amazing so tender and flavorful! The service was great, manager even came out to ask us how everything was. Nice atmosphere at dinner time. My youngest daughter even asked if we can come back every weekend! Will definitely be back. Highly recommend!“
