Circa '21 Dinner Playhouse 1828 3rd Ave, Rock Island Dinner Theater • $$$

“The staff here is incredibly friendly! They’re always happy to interact with guests, whether before the show or during moments when they step offstage. The Bootleggers are also great about passing messages to the actors if you ask them to. The cast and crew truly appreciate it when fans create art or cosplay as characters from the show. Overall, it’s a fantastic theater experience in a wonderful venue—I enjoy it every time!”

“We had a great experience. The people working were so nice and helpful. I’m glad I listened and got extra Mac and cheese. The fried shrimp and the Shrimp Po’Boy were so good. Hand cut fries are my favorite. And the cornbread was delightful. The Mac and cheese—don’t get just a side. Get a pint. Or more. We took some home from yesterday and it reheats so well. It tastes the same (what other Mac and cheese does that???). It’s amazing. And their remoulade sauce? I should have gotten a pint to go. I want to dip everything in it! We will definitely be back and will be telling everyone how good it is.”

I saw Aunt Bea’s cafe and thought how cute! My moms name was Bea and I lost her some time ago so we felt we HAD to come here for dinner. Well Aunt Bea did NOT disappoint. The food was absolutely amazingly delicious. A fantastic home cooked meal is just what we needed, and she was super sweet. We left with full bellies, more than satisfied tastebuds and warm hearts.”

“Very nice small brewery. I’ve tried several of their beers before and was very please, but unfortunately had never made it to the actual brewer. Finally made and I can say, I was not disappointed. Awesome beers, nice atmosphere, and good waitstaff, very nice and courteous, answered all my questions and was prompt. So if you’re looking for nice laid back bar/brewery to hangout on the weekends with good staff and great brews, I would highly recommend. I’ll be returning!”

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.”

Everyone was still working and cleaning up, helping people get their ice cream fix. Everyone still had a smile on their face. And, still made thoughtful suggestions when I didn't know what to get. Amazing customer service and delicious ice cream. No wonder there was a long line of cars for the drive-thru and loads of people queuing inside! I got the Smurf/Blue Moon and Banana Nut on a sugar cone. It was absolutely sublime! Perfectly creamy, with powerful but NOT over-bearing natural flavors. Loved it!”

“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. 🤷‍♂️”

“Would give more then 5 stars if I could! I work overnights at Trinity and placed an order online, not realizing they were closing in 10 minutes. When I got the confirmation email that my order would be delivered the next day, I called the store in hopes of catching someone before close to cancel. I was so pleased when the gentleman that answered the phone informed me that he had seen the order and that it was for hospital staff, already had it made, and would be having it delivered. Will definitely continue to give them my business!”

“I moved to Rock Island 2 months ago meaning I had to find a new favorite Chinese Restaurant near me. I tried a few nearby and was getting worried because the I found were at most, mediocre. Then one day I stopped here to get some Egg Drop Soup for my sick boyfriend.I love Egg Drop Soup when I am ill so I figured he would too, but luckily for me, that was not his thing so I was able to consume it. It was spectacular.I returned to grab some dinner about a week or so later so I could see if the meals were as good as the soup. This time, I came home with Szechuan Shrimp. That is an old favorite but ever since the old Dragon House in Davenport closed, I had yet to find a place that could compare to their version. Until now! I devoured the meal entirely which is very unusual but I ate every bite as my other half watched in amazement at how food could send his girlfriend into such euphoria.Then, our roommate and I headed up to the place again the other night. We each purchased a meal, soup and some fired wontons. We took it home and another homer with the food.Oriental express has now officially become my go-to for Chinese cuisine. The other places in the neighborhood are not horrible, it is just that they cannot match the food perfection nor are they nearly as friendly as the beautiful girl who has waited on me every time. She is amazing herself.I do not know what the plans are for the dining room here. It is hidden by plastic tarps hanging and that does give the place a very odd "ambiance". I hope that is not a permanent look for them but even if it is, I will still get my Chinese cravings satisfied here. I recommend you do the same!”
