Was expecting something bigger from the photos online. The wait staff was friendly, helpful and not pushy. We had to ask her to come back several times as we were more focused on our conversation than the menu. Got around to ordering and she was helpful with prompting with our various options. We ended up getting wings and a supreme pizza. The pizza was marked with a red star marking it as one of their best items and priced for $21. We dug in as soon as it arrived. It ended up being a glorified frozen variety. You could get twice as good for less at the grocery store. Very disappointing for something like this to get the red star. Throughout, the waitress was attentive with drink refills. Won't be returning anytime soon.

Hello, was in town for work. Stop for a drink. Service was awesome, and talkative. Would definitely recommend to stop again. I plan to do so when back in the area. Kaitlyn and Mia were great bartenders. Great place to go for drinks and will be back for food.

Burgers are pretty good.

Disappointed. I really like the atmosphere here and the food has always been pretty good, and I'm really wanting to make this a more regular place, however this visit takes it down a notch. Smash burgers are a big deal right now, so a smash burger taco had great appeal. This was a burger patty cut in half and served on a tortilla. NOT appealing and disappointing to say the least. The server didn't follow up and ask how things were and the only time she asked to refill water was when we were done and she didn't ask if I wanted a 2nd beer so I didn't bother to order one.

Don’t normally give one stars. Had my blue moon dumped in the sink at 9:00pm last night, because the bar tenders wanted to go home. Super bad business, will not be back.

Came in for a quick bite to eat but slow service prevented the quick part. However, the food was pretty good. I had the French dip and there was plenty of beef. The fries were plain if you don't like seasoned. All other sides is extra $. Someone at the table ordered the plain cheeseburger with sweet potato fries. They said it was ok, nothing special. We both received plenty of fries which was nice. The place was loud but we were still able to hear each other at the table with no difficulty. There are several TVs if you are interested in seeing a game, it looked like every seat had a good view.

There is not a place this sure but get 5 out of 5 stars. The environment is casual and especially kid friendly. The server was on top of everything. I had the patty melt and it might be the best one I've ever had. Will be back and highly recommend.Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly. No rowdy/annoying customers.

Definitely the last time we dine here.We’ve had dinner at the 1908 Draught House numerous times, but the other night was definitely the last time.There was a large party of 20-25 people in the middle of the restaurant who were so loud and obnoxious that it made conversation between me and my husband impossible.We complained to the waitress who did nothing. We asked for the name and telephone number of the manager and were told to leave our names and numbers and s/he would get back to us. Needless to say, the manager never called.A totally ruined dining experience.

My wife and I stopped in for a late lunch during a bike ride so it was pretty quiet but the service was excellent and my tenderloin sandwich was to die for.

Stopped here on our way to Davenport for dinner. Wasn't crazy busy but there were quite a few full tables. We opted to sit outside. Our server was very friendly and attentive. Decided to try the Cowboy Burger with Sweet Potato Fries and the BBQ Bacon Ranch Grilled Chicken Sandwich with Fries. Both were good as were the fries.

Brynne Ruddy

Bitchesst bartender ever, the redhead hated kids and was so condescending. Lost our business. Family friendly ya not AT ALL.

Daniel Shepherd

Sad. Went to get a Chicago dog after the icubs game. Still people on the patio and inside but the restaurant closed at 11pm instead of the listed 12. Don't go to this place if it's within an unidentified time or they will just be closed ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
