“We randomly stopped here on our way home for a quick bite to eat and to avoid Chicago rush hour. We ordered the Italian beef. Let me just say IT DOES NOT DISAPPOINT! It was super yummy! I spoke with a cook and they cook it overnight. Our server Mandy was friendly and took good care of us. Food was great and cheap compared to many other places. The atmosphere was laid back. I definitely would come back again just to eat. Seriously, if you want good food or a good sandwich. Stop and get their Italian beef!“

They had a DJ that night who was really awesome... Can't wait to see what the new owners do but hopefully they don't change what so obviously is great about the place! Thanks for a fun time!“

“I was looking for a close spot to have a cold beer and grab a bite to eat in-between my daughters volleyball games and stumbled upon the gem called R Place. This spot is great! I was told that they have been in business 42 years! WOW, and I can see why. They are very friendly and treat you well. The food is fantastic and the locals are very laid back and make you feel welcome as well. If I was local to the area, this bar would be my base! A throwback feel to the better times, in my opinion. 5 ✨'s! I hope to get a chance to visit again.“

“Tacos were delicious. Did carryout and was quick! Will be back!“

“We ordered delivery. At first look, my dish (the ceviche) looked delicious, vibrant, and fresh. Sadly, it was pretty bland and flavorless. BUT it did seem some care was taken with the preparation, and I appreciated that it seemed freshly made!

We had some special instructions for the chimichangas which weren’t followed, but my son said it still was really good and seemed good quality :-)

We also ordered horchata, but that was never delivered.“

“Bonnie! The boys are back in town again“

“I came here three weeks ago to celebrate the end of my physical therapy for withered hand.

As I was entering a man dressed as a pirate opened the door for me and tried to high pressure sell me an on the spot ColoGuard test. You know what I’m talking about? Where you do your business in the box and they make sure all is good back at the lab?

This guy was offering me 75% off the screening and even though it was a bit strange, I’ve seen bars do stranger promotions. So Pirate ColoGuard Night is something I’d been conditioned to expect by the mainstream media.

I said “Are you affiliated with Al’s Tavern and Brew Pub?”

And he said “I’m a pirate, I’m not affiliated with anyone. I take what I want” as he put the ColoGuard box in my hand. But he winked so I feel like he was hired to be there.

I took him up on it. He said the 75% off was only available if I paid cash, but he did take a picture of my id and insurance card with his Amazon Fire tablet.

I was unsure how much ColoGuard costs because the commercials never say, but $200 seemed fair and also he made it seem like I’d have to sit next to a dj playing Barbie Girl by Aqua very loudly in the bar area if I didn’t participate in the promotion.

So I gave him the money and he followed me to my car where I completed my end of the bargain and then handed the box back to him.

He disappeared like a pirate ship into heavy seas and fog. I went into Al’s and nobody in there was dressed as a pirate or offering any other sort of medical discounts. Maybe the promotion was only during happy hour?

Regardless, it’s been three weeks and I haven’t gotten my results yet. I keep calling Al’s but they just try to get me to buy a Super Bowl Square.

If anyone knows how to get in contact with the man I met, please let me know.

The food at Al’s Tavern and Brew Pub was great as always! Try the kielbasa sliders! Best food in the Quad Cities!“

“My first time here at La Carreta. I’m going to say that the quality of the food is good. I order a Taco loco Combo. The flavor of the Carne Asada was delicious and the Chorizo as well. The Carnitas need more flavor. The corn tortillas were amazing you can taste that are made in the tortillería no from package. On the rice flavor is good but on the refried Beans would be better if were refried with Lard not with Oil. But other that Food is really good and service.“

“First time golfing White Hawk and would definitely return. The fairways, greens, and tee boxes are well kept. There were a few greens and fringes that were tore up on Grey that looks like from the grounds crew, but other than that it was a beautiful course.“

“Food was good. Service was quick.“

“Food is always good! Unfortunately slower service. Got drinks in the beginning and didn't get refills til check. Food was made incorrect and took a little bit of time to get correct. For the price though it's always a good choice.“

“Stopped in here for drinks and food before a concert at the Hobart Art Theater next door. Took a while for my food to be made, but apparently they only had one cook on a Sunday with football going on. Would visit again before a show if we had time.“
