“Yep you see what I selected for what I paid, and 🥹 it’s 100% worth it! I got the big stuffed pizza. It took about 45 minutes which is absolutely worth the wait. Upon getting this home and opening the box, and getting the first two pieces out the first bite just made me happy. It’s exactly what I was looking for. I finally found a place I will get my favorite pizza.”

“I tried the smothered chicken today and OMG it was so good, along with the greens, sweet potatoes, cornbread and sweet potato pie! Run, don't walk. Trust me.”

“Love coming in for some late-night fried food. Especially after a show at The Speakasy. The food is great, drinks are fairly priced and the woman behind the bar is absolutely awesome! She is friendly, helpful and always gets our food out right away. Not sure of her name but she's always behind the bar after 10pm. She's the best, 10/10 service. ❤️”

“First time visit yesterday. Tasty food!! I’ll be back.”

“Wonderful, warm and inviting Mexican restaurant. The food is delicious, and the service is exemplary. Very reasonably priced, and they're open Sundays too. Highly recommend.”

“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.”

“I’ve driven by so many times and finally stopped today. I am not disappointed! Friendly owners and staff, AMAZING coffee! Highly recommend to go out of your way for this local family owned Coffee shop.”

“Best music venue and business in the QC ☕️”

“First time back since their reopen. Amazing job. Great food, great service and prices. Carrington was gracious and on top of it. Clean table tops and booths. Clean bathrooms. Try it for yourself!! I had the Monte Cristo sandwich with raspberry jalapeno dip. Friends had potato skins and fries. The Mac and Cheese was thick and cheesy, it was also a $4 upcharge, but worth it!”

“This place is amazing! I was there last week had Pad Ped w Tofu. It tasted so good! In fact, the tofu here tasted better than the filet mignon at a different hibachi place that I had today imagine that. Seasoning and expertise is everything and this place has it 💯”

“We had our RI 50th reunion at Icons.Dave and Icons held the Friday night event. It was fantastic! They decorated made a special martini and the entire night was great. A very special bar and owner and staff. A big thank you from class of 76”

“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.”

“While the location-due to being part of a shopping strip-leaves a bit to be desired, there is a reasonable sized outdoor seating area, fenced off with benches. The service has always been fantastic, and the staff are courteous and efficient. Whitey's has some of the best ice cream around, and this location is no different!”

“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!”

“Going to miss this place being close by. Great food. Great family and always fun to talk with. Hope your new venture works well for your family. I’ll miss your steak tacos and salsa”

“great service! chill spot!”

“Best pizza in QC Area they need to bring back to eatin dinning so enjoy the Fresh taste from there oven to my Table”

“Nice bar reasonably priced!”

“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!”

“Great food and even better service! If you are looking for incredible steak tacos, nachos or even beef tacos, check them out. Can’t wait to head back and try the other items on their menu.”

“Chevin’s catering was wonderful! We had so many compliments from the guests at our event about the food. Kevin was great to work with and everything was perfect.”

“This place rocks � .........”

“I love this bar! It’s the music for me. The bathrooms were clean. Also I mentioned to the owners once How I wished they had my liquor of choice one week and each time I’ve been back it’s been there. The customer service is above and beyond.”

“In town for one night and stumbled onto this spot. Was exactly what we were looking for. Friendly atmosphere, good drinks, great prices. We will be back! The bartender Misty was the most welcoming part!”

“Tried this place for the first time tonight for dinner. The food and service were excellent. Food came out really fast. Everyone was very friendly. I recommend this place. We will definitely be returning.”

“Went here with my girl for the first time ever. Let me start off by saying, this place looks absolutely wonderful inside! I've passed this place so many times over the past few years, and never thought anything of it until now! Now the food, I had a cheeseburger with bacon, and homecut fries.
Absolutely delicious! The burger was juicy, and full of flavor, and the housecut fries were a nice touch!
Thanks to Sammy for hosting us, and special thanks to Terry for preparing our meals!”

“My favorite Chinese food in the QC. Also very friendly!”

“They have the best fried chicken in the QC area seasoned to perfection better than harolds and JJ'S they cheese fries Devine definitely ordering again and the greens are fire too someone big momma definitely in there cooking”

“We were there virtually. My buddy was playing this beautiful lady on darts all the way from our bar in Iowa. Didn’t know you could that. But he smoked her like 100x. So he called over there and bought her a round and I played a couple songs on TouchTunes because that’s what wingmen do. Seems like solid place… virtually speaking.”

“Have gone twice so far and both times the chicken was fresh, biscuits yummy and mashed potatoes good too. The potato edges are also good. Nice pricing for a 12 piece family meal. We will be visiting again.”

“Cheap prices, great food, kid friendly”

“Fun neighborhood bar with super bartenders. Always something fun going on”

“Dough is unique, deliciously savory and always perfectly balanced with a hint of sweetness and has the perfect texture that, I think, is superior to any other similar ‘Quad-Cities style’ pizza places. The pizza is absolutely amazing, but the real treasures are their calzones. For me, it’s their eggplant calzone. Eggplant can be tricky, but they slice it very thinly, use an excellent breading, fry it to perfection and layer it with creamy ricotta & rich mozzarella wrapped in that amazing dough, though occasionally they’ll not use enough filling (so, I order extra eggplant & cheese, just to be safe.) When combined with their ‘calzone sauce’ (on the side, a perfect match, bold & rich, similar to an amazing marinara but their own take, and I think it’s necessary for the full experience), it is one of my favorite meals. I’ve had pizza & calzones in so many states and cities, so many styles and varieties, but I always end up craving Pizza & Subs above all others when I’m in the mood for that. Pro tip: add eggplant to some of their pizzas, such as their garden. Another nice thing, they actually still deliver themselves, not using some service, and they deliver surprisingly quickly most of the time, for a very reasonable fee, and the people are always kind and friendly. Unfortunately, they changed their hours in the past few years and close much earlier than most pizza places, which can often be frustrating. Sometimes they’ll close randomly due to staffing issues or things that come up beyond their control. And their website is literally years out of date, and always reminds me of how much they’ve raised their prices when I go to look at their menu... But, it’s a family run joint that makes amazing food, so accepting those things is necessary even if it means I don’t get food from them as often as I used to. Otherwise, I can’t recommend Pizza & Subs highly enough as something uniquely amazing that I hope remains open for generations to come. Just wish they were able to stay open later, and their prices went down. It’s worth the splurge sometimes, though, and their pizzas are quite loaded with toppings. 🤷‍♂️”

“The food was excellent, as always. However, we waited for 15 minutes after we finished eating for the server to come by so we could ask for a to-go container. We ended up going to the register and asking for one. I've never thought the atmosphere was anything special. It is what it is. Highly recommend the place! The food is incredible!”

“Staff is friendly, ham & cheese is delicious”

“Pleasantly surprised with ordering from New Oriental Express- portions were generous, service was excellent and prices were reasonable. Missed the fortune cookies!?”

“It's taken me much too long to get a review on here, but this is THE BEST Little Ceasars. I can always count on good, fast, friendly service, and its always fresh! The staff is great, and I can honestly say I've never been disappointed with this location..I wouldn't be leaving a review if I had!”

“there cheeseburger are the best on the planet 🙂🙂”

“First time trying, I have lived in the quad cities for about 8 months. I have tried several Chinese restaurants and have been disappointed. I must say hands down. This is the best I've had.
Definitely, we'll keep coming back. Keep up the great work and you definitely get your money's worth
I can probably get 3 meals out of this.”

“Best n the QCA. There’s on one Dr! Outstanding service and truly great full your there! I’m a Tuesday specialist! Lol thanks DR GYROS”

“I thought for sure I’ve already reviewed this place. But here we are again….. hungry hobo. I love you. You are better than Jimmy John’s, Arthur’s, and Jersey mikes. I will love you forever, I’ll love you for always, as long as I’m living, your sandwiches I’ll eat.”

“great pizza... I will not be eating Harris again..... their pizza has nothing on Poor Boys.. and has declined greatly over the years.. ... THANKS POOR BOYS!!!..”
