“Anthony is the best mixologist anywhere. The menu is five star. Charcuterie served for 2,4, or 6. Whatever you do, don’t eat before getting there. Gary & Patty.“

If you’re in the area and feeling hungry, you won’t be disappointed. I highly recommend it, especially for families.“

“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. 🏌️‍♂️🎅“

“Excellent atmosphere and amazingly prepared food! My husband and I visited here last night, and we both were raving about the food. The salads were fresh and super tasty. The pecan crusted salmon with blueberries was unlike anything we’ve had but in the very best way. Pleasant atmosphere for good conversations and kind staff. We’ll be back often! Great job everyone!“

“Outstanding food and the best coffee in QCA!!! Highly recommended and outstanding service!!!“

“Jasmine was excellent waitress! Fast and very friendly! Just love her!🩷🩷“

“We were looking for a relaxed dinner spot when we found Big Dave and Holly's. Our food was delicious and the lady working the front was nice. My husband ordered a Root Beer float to go at the end of dinner, when she found out we were at a hotel in town for the Eagle Fest, she even included a cup with extra Root Beer. ❤️“

“Just had a wonderful dinner at Tuggers. My husband had the meatloaf, and I had the rice bowl with seared tuna…fabulous and plenty to bring some home for lunch tomorrow. The vanilla crème brûlée old fashioned and warm apple dumpling cocktails were delicious. Our son had a burger and fries and had room for the fried cookie dough, or thought he did. He revived 3 large pieces along with a glass of milk (nice touch!). The service was fantastic, and our meal arrived quickly. Would highly recommend!“

“Good food, well prepared. Friendly atmosphere and waitstaff.“

“I am obsessed with the cheese curds here, and the Concrete Mixers are easily the best dessert in town. I love that you can customize the mixers with so many different mix-ins. This location is always spot on with the orders and the service is incredibly fast. I’ll keep coming back again and again!“

“Absolutely amazing 😍.
From the moment we walked in, everything was top-notch. The atmosphere was welcoming, the service was outstanding, and the food was nothing short of amazing. Every bite was packed with flavor and made with obvious care and quality.

A special shoutout to the staff!! They were friendly, attentive, and went above and beyond to make sure everyone had a great experience. Customer service like that is hard to find these days!

If you're looking for a place that's truly worth the visit, this is it. Just remember: great food isn't rushed. A little patience is a small price to pay for something made fresh and done right.
Trust me!! Your taste buds will thank you. This place isn't just a meal, it's an experience. We'll definitely be back! ❤️🔥“

“Aunt Beas is the type of place the locals keep secret. The type of place where the food is made with heart. Real southern home cooking! Everything, I ate was delicious and fair priced. Come try you some!“

“Food was amazing. Great & friendly staff. We were in and out in about 30-40 minutes and they were super busy but we got a table right away. Prices are great for the servings you get. Will definitely be coming back now that I know their family friendly (first time at this place so wasn't sure what to expect)“

“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 miss working there. all the customers, and the fun just working with Mickey, Bill, and, my love to hate and love to just be near kelly“

“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.“

“Cute family atmosphere . Prices are amazing and my kids loved it.“

“We chose Beef + Bourbon for our anniversary dinner yesterday. We made reservations ahead of time, and made a note with the reservation that it was our anniversary dinner. I'll get my disappointment over with first and move on to all of good. I wasn't happy with where we were seated. For whatever reason, we were stuck in the bar area. Our view to the left was the parking lot. The view to the right was the bar, which came with its own set of noise. And since we were on a main pathway, it was hard to have any conversation with the traffic and noise passing by every few minutes. I think I was expecting to sit in the beautiful other spaces they have available with dim lighting and a more romantic vibe, especially for an anniversary dinner. The food was absolutely mind blowing. Everything we had was cooked with so much thought and care. The beef medallion and crab cake appetizers really set the stage for the main course, which consisted of ribeye for both of us. Absolutely the best steak I've ever had. Tender, juicy, seasoned to perfection. My husband enjoyed asparagus with hollandaise as a side. I enjoyed a salad. Everything we devoured was absolutely top notch. Our waiter was awesome, Travis. He definitely took care of us as far as service. Very nice gentleman. I would give the food a 10000/10. I hope to be able to go back and give the ambiance another try. My fault for not speaking up while there or having the wrong set of expectations.“

“Great service. Food was delicious and the presentation was amazing. Waitress was very polite. Had the Slammer and a blueberry, strawberry, banana crepe. Will be back.“

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

“love being able to pick up burgers and fries at 530 in the morning... great friendly environment“

“Yesterday, Thanksgiving 2025, we experienced the Riverfront Grille for the first time. The staff were happy to see us, friendly and very attentive. Second, the food was outstanding. Turkey and ham were done to perfection, a variety of salads, soups and sides were homemade and delicious. Lastly, the overall experience (including desert) on a busy day was wonderful. Thank you Riverfront Grille…looking forward to our next visit…highly recommend them.“

“Last night we went to Chevin's Kitchen and Catering located inside Kavanaugh’s Hilltop Bar and Grill in Rock Island. This is the second time we have stopped in recently for the daily special. We are so glad we did. From the prompt greeting by the servers and bar staff to the made to order burger sliders with fresh cut fries everything was AMAZING! Our servers were on top of it and so friendly. The food was GREAT! If you haven’t checked this place out yet or if you have forgotten about one of the oldest bars in the neighborhood don’t snooze on this! Great food and great service! We can’t wait to go back! — at Kavanaugh's Hilltop.“

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

“Karen was great! She made sure we had everything we wanted and explained the menu items when we asked questions. The kitchen staff made our food quickly and the food was amazing! We were there for like 17 minutes total and took us 5 minutes to figure out what we wanted... that's 12 minutes to order and get our food! Incredible, at a non-fast food restaurant, especially when everything is made fresh!“

“Monday taco baskets Tuesday $5.50 Cheeseburger baskets Wednesday Duey Rites & Music Bingo from 7-9pm! Thursday is Chef's surprise!! 🤷 Friday is Catfish Fry---EVERY Friday from 4-9pm Saturday tacos Sunday $12 Fried Chicken Buckets ALL DAY!!! (8PCS & FRIES FOR 2 PEOPLE)“

“The service is always friendly and quick to get a drink with a good selection of draft beer. The food is great. I would say it’s made with love even the side salads.“

“For price to food ratio there is no better food in the QC area in my honest opinion.“

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

“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.“

“I love Culver's Concrete Mixers especially the Heath Bat mixer. I received a free coupon for Culver's Cheese Curds. Thought would try them. Honestly there's nothing to wright home about. I love cheese curds but these are not so great personally I wouldn't bother unless you're willing to dip them in a lot a lot of sauce.“

“Food was fire 🔥 customer service amazing. Big thanks to the chiefs working in the back too.“

“Great lunch spot, quick food cooked fresh right in front of you.“

“Excellent beers and staff is fantastic“

“Very good food and a great atmosphere“

“The course is BACK! I played here many times when it was previously open and I am so happy it is back! I went today with my family and the course was in great shape considering it was closed for many years. Do yourself a favor and golf a round! New carts, friendly staff, and great location!“

“Rather than stop at one of the busy chains, I decided to have my meal at the airport prior to my flight. It was a good choice. First, my server Pam was outstanding. She was attentive and professional. The restaurant is calm and quiet, and there is lots of room. The meal was cooked just as ordered, with eggs, sausage potatoes and an English Muffin. The prices are very reasonable. Next time in Quad Cities International, I'll eat here again.“

“We drove from Galesburg. We got seated right away.I ordered the Gypsy skillet and it was delicious. The waitress was very nice and consistently came around to check on us. It's very comfortable in the small restaurant. I would go again!“

“My must go to when I visit the quad cities. Great food, great drink specials, and Monica and staff are all super friendly. Small, local, family friendly bar and grill. Highly recommend!“

“Food was good, I ordered the Orange glazed salmon.

A friend ordered the steak and said it was rather tough but took it home and put in the crockpot. Said it was wonderful after she did that. She asked for her steak to be smothered in onion and it was not. She asked for more and they brought her TWO SMALL rings!!

They seemed to be short on wait staff, or maybe it is just the norm now since they have an automated robotic cart that is used to aid in clearing tables. I don't know how it works but I saw it glide by several times and come back loaded with plates etc. It has a homing spot it would return to.
I'm sure it helps to some extent but if having it is resulting in cutting back on staff to assist customers with requests, then it is not an asset to the business. (Just my thought.)“

“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.“

“We love Miss Mamie's! We often go for special events, like birthdays and anniversaries. Usually, we get the catfish and the crab cakes. This time we went in for carry-out and got the catfish dinner, spinach salad, and beef stroganoff. Great portions (we got two meals each from that order), wonderful, friendly service, and some of the best food in the QC.“

“Awsome burgers and and onion rings“

“Hands down best breakfast in the QC.. come every Sunday!!! Nothing compares“
