50 Best American Restaurants in Davenport

“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.“

“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!“

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

“Great location, good potatoes and espresso!“

“The first time I walked into this adorable cafe I immediately fell in love. It is beautiful inside. So clean and the decor is precious. Service was top-notch, and the food….the food was delicious. Fresh, flavorful, and portion sizes were spot-on. Try the ahi! That sauce is 🤤🤤🤤“

“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!“

“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.“

“Their service was terrific, food very tasty. I was there with a group of Red Hats. I know waiting on a group of older ladies can be challenging and some have earned us a bad rep. Thank you for giving us a a fun dinner.! A+“

“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.“

“Great food, great service and a good atmosphere.

They are a bit more on the pricey side but they also carry better cuts of meat than like a Texas Roadhouse or Lonestar type place.

I have never gotten a bad meal from them dining in, although take out can be disappointing on some occasions so I suggest you dine in at this place.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Always love stopping at Maid-Rite! The loose meat sandwiches are delicious and perfectly seasoned, and the fries and shakes hit the spot every time. The staff is friendly, the restaurant is clean, and the service is quick. It’s that perfect mix of classic comfort food and small-town charm—highly recommend!“

“Our Supper Club chose to dine here last Saturday, we had a group of 10. We had drinks and then appetizers, the mint chocolate chip martini and the espresso martini both were amazing! We all bought appetizers to share and they were all great. Every one of us loved our entrée. I had the New York strip, which was fantastic and my husband had a fillet and he said it was fantastic too. We both eat our steaks, medium rare, and they were cooked perfect. After dinner, we did split a piece of heath bar cheesecake and it definitely lives up to the hype! I think all of our favorite part of the atmosphere was the piano player! He was so fun and played great sing a long songs. Our group had a lot of fun singing along with him and dancing in our chairs! Our server/Alise did a stellar job of taking our orders, a timely delivery of appetizers and drinks. But most importantly, our food was all delivered within a few minutes of each other, so nobody was sitting and waiting for their food. Claudia did a great job on making sure everybody had what they needed. Everything was prepared the way we wanted it and the final touch of boxing our leftovers for us, was just the chefs kiss on top of a great evening. We will definitely be coming back.“

“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!💚💙“

“Excellent beers and staff is fantastic“

“My dad went to Harlan's way back in the 1960s when it was a truck stop. My going there feels kind of like a tradition. The Swiss Steak was to die for! So tender and flavorful, along with the cole slaw and baked beans. Friendly service. Excellent all the way around!“

“Our son goes to augustana and we were there to visit one of his friends recommended us going there and also recommended the mushroom fries I will say it left you wanting more….. great food , great beer I had the sweet potato. Brew and also tried October fest 👍we will be back!!“

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

“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.“

“It was my first visit not knowing what to eat . The lady I wish I knew her name .Caucasian mature lady she was exceptional , gave me tips and suggestions. The sandwich was ready in 5mins. No waiting . ** Shocker . The sandwich was great I ate a quarter of it could barely finish it. The king size is great for two meals … jmo . I recommend this if you need a great sandwich . Saved the backed potato for dinner and the rest of sandwich.“

“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!“

“Fun experience with some amazing food. Love this place“

“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.“

“When we were driving through Iowa, we were told we had to have a maid-rite. So we did, this restaurant was in a convenient location for us. We loved the doner atmosphere, and we were surprised they have a lot of different choices. We ordered the Cheese-Rite and the Maid-rite chili shoe. The order came out quick, hot, and tasted good. Next time, I will need to try an appetizer and a shake cause they looked good.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

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

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

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

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

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

“Staff are super nice and good food“

“Good food, friendly service“

“It's a great little café. I was able to sit and work for a few hours with no issues. Corrina was very helpful and she seemed to be on top of everything from working with customers and making sure things were filled and ready.I only got a coffee but would still recommend!“

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

“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!“

“We arrived in a huge group on a tour bus during a tornado and a flood watch, and unexpectedly our entire group had to stay at the hotel to dine that night. We filled up the entire restaurant, almost every seat. The host welcomed us all with a huge smile and kind words, and made all of us feel welcome. I told her I knew she wasn’t expecting all of us, and I apologized for descending upon her the way we did. She didn’t miss a beat and told all of us that she was so happy we were there, and that she couldn’t wait to make us feel welcome. Within minutes we all had menus, ice water, and some of the most delicious bread and butter I’ve ever had. We got to sit by our friends, no fuss was made, and the ladies that waited on us moved like a well oiled machine taking our orders and bringing our hot food and delicious drinks. I’m bad with names but the host had reddish blonde hair and the other two were a short blonde and a long brown ponytail. There was also a man who was bald who appeared out of nowhere and brought us water and he was so charming. The lady in charge of it all knows what she is doing and has a great team. My table was happy and I think the entire tour bus was pleased as well. Beautiful hotel and beautiful night.“

“Great food…great service!“
