“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.“

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

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

“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!“

“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.“

“My husband and I live little over an hour away. We enjoy coming to the quad cities often. We by chance decided to try out Monarch Kitchen + Bar based off of their rating. All I can say is I am so impressed. Impressed with the care and quality of food. The wait staff are amazing. I am a person who doesn’t use seed oils at home. To know I can go out and eat somewhere and know the ingredients are fresh and good for you means everything. We stayed two days and ate there for lunch and came back the next day for dinner. We loved the lo mein and the garlic aioli fries, but honestly everything we tried was amazing. It is now our new favorite restaurant in the quad cities. We will definitely be back and will tell our friends. Thank you for making our trip even more special!“

“Great location, good potatoes and espresso!“

“Server was great! Food was very good. Gift shop is nice.“

“The first time I walked into this adorable cafe I immediately fell in love. It is beautiful inside. So clean and the decor is precious. Service was top-notch, and the food….the food was delicious. Fresh, flavorful, and portion sizes were spot-on. Try the ahi! That sauce is 🤤🤤🤤“

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

“Great butter burgers, fries, and hot sandwiches. The frozen custard is delicious and freshly made with your choice of mixins to make yummy concretes. Order at the counter & your food is delivered to your table, or use drive-in or pickup.“

“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.“

“Their service was terrific, food very tasty. I was there with a group of Red Hats. I know waiting on a group of older ladies can be challenging and some have earned us a bad rep. Thank you for giving us a a fun dinner.! A+“

“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.“

“Great food, great service and a good atmosphere.

They are a bit more on the pricey side but they also carry better cuts of meat than like a Texas Roadhouse or Lonestar type place.

I have never gotten a bad meal from them dining in, although take out can be disappointing on some occasions so I suggest you dine in at this place.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Always love stopping at Maid-Rite! The loose meat sandwiches are delicious and perfectly seasoned, and the fries and shakes hit the spot every time. The staff is friendly, the restaurant is clean, and the service is quick. It’s that perfect mix of classic comfort food and small-town charm—highly recommend!“

“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.“

“Nice vibe for sure I enjoyed the service and cleanliness. One thing I could bank on is that I definitely did better at The Lone Wolf then in the casino, hopefully they get back to even running side by side so we can keep are tabs paid up with all the big winnings. Thanks Lone Wolf!“

“Really good ice cream staff are super friendly and really good candy“

“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.“

“Soups are delicious 😋🤤. I am not big with fastfood 😔. I am not a big fan of this place. But, you don't have to worry about your order being @## up lol like "Mc Donalds" this place is very friendly, and a good place for a family outing.“

“Our Supper Club chose to dine here last Saturday, we had a group of 10. We had drinks and then appetizers, the mint chocolate chip martini and the espresso martini both were amazing! We all bought appetizers to share and they were all great. Every one of us loved our entrée. I had the New York strip, which was fantastic and my husband had a fillet and he said it was fantastic too. We both eat our steaks, medium rare, and they were cooked perfect. After dinner, we did split a piece of heath bar cheesecake and it definitely lives up to the hype! I think all of our favorite part of the atmosphere was the piano player! He was so fun and played great sing a long songs. Our group had a lot of fun singing along with him and dancing in our chairs! Our server/Alise did a stellar job of taking our orders, a timely delivery of appetizers and drinks. But most importantly, our food was all delivered within a few minutes of each other, so nobody was sitting and waiting for their food. Claudia did a great job on making sure everybody had what they needed. Everything was prepared the way we wanted it and the final touch of boxing our leftovers for us, was just the chefs kiss on top of a great evening. We will definitely be coming back.“

“Nina, Antonio, and their staff are awesome! I ordered grubeez for the 1st time today and loved everything we ordered! The Cajun shrimp is delicious and their spicy cheese curds were bomb! Thank you Nina, Antonio, and staff!💚💙“

“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.“

“Excellent beers and staff is fantastic“

“The restaurant looked really nice inside and kept very clean. The young waitress who said she was there for only two months. Did an absolutely fantastic job! As if she’s been doing this for years. I liked how the menu was set up. Well organized with plenty of meals to select from. Without overwhelming a person. The comfort food itself tasted great. Served hot and not taking forever to receive. An overall great atmosphere and experience!“

“Our son goes to augustana and we were there to visit one of his friends recommended us going there and also recommended the mushroom fries I will say it left you wanting more….. great food , great beer I had the sweet potato. Brew and also tried October fest 👍we will be back!!“

“Awesome staff. Very reasonable prices. Great food“

“My dad went to Harlan's way back in the 1960s when it was a truck stop. My going there feels kind of like a tradition. The Swiss Steak was to die for! So tender and flavorful, along with the cole slaw and baked beans. Friendly service. Excellent all the way around!“

“We had fast wonderful service from our server Kaile. The food was very good. I had the fish and chips. Light crispy batter, delicious fries. My wife enjoyed the giant chicken strips that she wasn’t able to finish.“

“Very friendly servers, and great French fries. The burgers are good, and you get soup with it. I ordered Deluxe, which comes with fries too. They were perfect. The menu has enough for everyone to find something they like.

Prices are good, nothing to complain about at all.“

“Awsome burgers and and onion rings“

“Love the breakfast menu........ Always delicious!......and the coffee is great!“

“karoke with robert , 🎤,the food&bargirls,allens ok too😁“

“I was not prepared for the insane amount of beer on tap! Incredible selection, and a knowledgeable bartender that helped me narrow down exactly what I wanted. The food was delicious, and there was a variety of seating options. I also got a free beer with my entree“

“A group of men get together on Wednesday's for lunch and comaraderie 3 of us ordered walleye and the other 2 ordered Chicken both orders came with salad bar and everyone enjoyed the time we had together the staff and owner's were all really great 😃👍“

“Only good thing about this place is the view. Went last night to celebrate a birthday and I spent more time waiting for my beer than being able to sit down and enjoy my time. 10+ minute wait for a beer with only 5 People around the bar is pretty ridiculous. Needless to say I was pretty upset by the end of the night.“

“Really good food! The Gyros were the best I've had in a while. Good options for kids, and the owners and staff are really friendly.“

“My husband and I live in the neighborhood and had several people tell us to visit. My only regret is we didn’t go sooner! The staff were all so friendly, generous portions, one of my favorite pancakes I’ve ever eaten. We will absolutely be back!“
