“So glad we stopped to try Bayside Bistro on our day date today. I had the falafel and my husband had the housemade veggie burger. Both were wonderful! The homemade sodas were a fun surprise, too. Definitely adding this restaurant to our list of go-to veg-friendly joints in the QCA.”

I saw Aunt Bea’s cafe and thought how cute! My moms name was Bea and I lost her some time ago so we felt we HAD to come here for dinner. Well Aunt Bea did NOT disappoint. The food was absolutely amazingly delicious. A fantastic home cooked meal is just what we needed, and she was super sweet. We left with full bellies, more than satisfied tastebuds and warm hearts.”

“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.”

“I had a coupon that was expiring the next day but the Whitey's closer to my house was shut down because of the severe weather coming in. Not this one, though! Everyone was still working and cleaning up, helping people get their ice cream fix. Everyone still had a smile on their face. And, still made thoughtful suggestions when I didn't know what to get. Amazing customer service and delicious ice cream. No wonder there was a long line of cars for the drive-thru and loads of people queuing inside! I got the Smurf/Blue Moon and Banana Nut on a sugar cone. It was absolutely sublime! Perfectly creamy, with powerful but NOT over-bearing natural flavors. Loved it!”

“Pizza was very good. I'm not from the area, so the I am not a huge fan of the "Quad City style" (the same as St Louis style as near as I can tell...) but this was as good as I've had.
Girl who took my order on the phone was hard to understand and the people in the store weren't overly friendly, but I was happy to get my pie and get back to my hotel room and eat.
Speaking of which, I asked about delivery and was surprised that they wouldn't deliver to my hotel which was only about a 5-6 minute drive away.
In the end, I'd order from there again.”

When I got the confirmation email that my order would be delivered the next day, I called the store in hopes of catching someone before close to cancel. I was so pleased when the gentleman that answered the phone informed me that he had seen the order and that it was for hospital staff, already had it made, and would be having it delivered. Will definitely continue to give them my business!”
