“I've had their meatballs and chicken wraps. Both were very good. I go to play the slot machines. They always come and ask if I'd like anything, one of the few places that asks the slot players. Bartenders have always been very friendly.“
“So glad we made the trip to Swannys! My wife and I ordered a large sausage & mushrooms pizza and it was fantastic! Fast friendly service and a nice atmosphere. Highly recommend stopping.Parking: Plenty of parking.Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible.“
“We were looking for a good bloody Mary and found this place. I'm here to tell you the bloody Mary's were the bomb. There food and service is amazing. Amazing smoked meats. Definitely found a place me and my wife can road trip to again and again. Loved it! Thanks juniors!“
“Friday evening from supper to close enables football and basketball watchers to eat a delicious burger or roast beef sandwich. I love both these items. The catfish special offers a nice sized fish DEEP FRIED to a golden delight...all these items are available with "basket " or ala cart. Fries, cole slaw and pickle...go with the items on the menu. The Bar, Tables or booths. You're comfort and good food are here. CheeseburgerItalian Beef Sandwich“
“Stopped here passing through from MN. Friendly owners and staff! Had the Chicken Fajita grilled Cheese and it is AMAZING! Highly recommended! Also had the pulled pork Mac-n-cheese which was very good as well. Appetizers were the “ball bearin” corn nuggets and the deep fried potato/ hash browns. Corn nuggets were very good as well as the potato balls. Personal opinion was a preference for the corn nuggets. Great find for a quick stop through IL. Thanks for the wonderful food!“
“It's nice to have MLK day off from work - three-day weekends are great from school, and their just as good in adult life. After a day spent largely across the river in Rock Island and East Moline, I took a rest at home. I needed a night cap and some dinner however. What better way to accomplish both of those things than a quick trip out to a nearby bar?I have no other reason to traverse Central Avenue in Bettendorf. I live within a 5 minute drive of Central Ave Tap, but I don't need to visit Neil Armstrong Elementary, nor is there anything else along the road for me to visit currently. I've driven by before on my way to visit friends that live in the area, just never stopped in here ever for a drink or food. Well, that changes tonight - I needed a gin and tonic and a burger before bed!There's not too much to say about Central Ave Tap. Its a bar in the bottom half of a building all to itself. There're two pool tables, a few dart boards, and a long bar that runs the whole length of the space. Newish wood laminate floor covers most of the inside, as does the newer looking drop ceiling. There's a TouchTunes jukebox along the wall - one of the new variety that lets anyone with the corresponding phone app play anything they like with the touch of a button from their phone. Suffice to say, the space is well maintained and clean.I settled at the bar on my visit and got my gin and tonic to start. They only had well gin - Fleischmann's I think? - it was fine, made a good G&T. After a quick perusal of the menu, I settled on a burger and fries, both of which I got to watch the bartender prepare right from my seat at the bar. This was a new experience for me - the stove and, really, the entire kitchen area are right there, unsegregated from the rest of the space, to watch as you please. It was actually kind of neat, plus the food came out super fresh.I enjoyed both the burger and fries. The burger was a simple pre-formed frozen patty, but it tasted fresh all the same. The fries were crinkle cut, fried to crispy perfection. The total portion size was exactly what I needed for the evening - not too much, not too little.Given a similar urge, I'd come back here for another burger. It felt kind of weird just randomly coming here. The space had the distinct feeling of being a local pup, a sort of common space for mostly those that lived close by. I hope I didn't intrude much. It's definitely a nice space. Thanks Central Ave Tap!“
“It doesn't look like much from the outside, but don't let that deter you. The chef knows how to cook! I was almost seduced by the Station 4 Burger which promised a lot of heat, but decided to go with their famous Tug Burger instead. And it was really good. Burger patty tastes hand-made and fresh. Onion rings were the best I have had in recent memory. And the cheese fries are to die for.Service was fast and friendly despite a bit of a crowd.“
“Wife and sons food was good. I got a burger and asked for it cooked medium, the inside of the burger was pretty much raw, medium is just no pink, not raw in the middle. I could only eat 1/2 (around the edges). Anyways, or was not a great experience, hope yours is better. I'm not sure we'll be back any time soon.“
“Loved the bacon dressing on the Spinach salad. Soup of the day when we went was cheddar broccoli. It was very tasty and cheesy, but it was a bit salty and I was thinking it could have used more broccoli pieces. Added some black pepper, which cut the salt “
“Its a low key spot. Honestly surprised of how simplisticly delicious everything was. The veggie panini, the breaded shrimp, the onion rings, the southwest egg rolls... all spot on. There was only one gal on so service was a bit slow. My server/bartender was super down to earth too!!“
“Service was pretty good. We had multiple waitresses towards the end of the night. Definitely a cozy and homey bar to watch the game. They serve complimentary popcorn. The drinks were spot on and the pizza and food was great. Great bar food spot.“
“Talia was attentive and friendly. She was very accommodating and even offered some finger food for my "hangry" toddler to hold him over while we waited for our food.The grilled chicken BLT+A was superb, the best I have ever had actually. The toppings were fresh, flavorful in the chicken was flavorful and juicy. The french fries were very tasty and perfectly seasoned and the portion was rather generous (perfect for the 2 of us - my son and I) and my son is a big fan of their mac and cheese.“
