Bennigan's On The Fly - Rock Island American • $$
Ale House, 226 17th St, Rock Island

“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!“

“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.“

“I would have to say from my experience any place close by a casino is going to be good food. This place is located in the casino itself along with two other restaurants. The waitress was very attentive making sure I had what I needed. I ordered the Ruben sandwich alone and it was on the bar in front of me in like minutes.... steaming hot and delicious!“
