Restaurants in Rock Island

“I live in Bettendorf so I don’t get over to Rock Island very often. This place was recommend to me by C & J Upholstery to wait for my car. Since it was breakfast time I ordered the Philly Steak Omelette with wheat toast and fresh fruit. The serving size was very generous and all the food was delicious!! Five different Fresh Fruits, good wheat toast and the omelette was delicious and huge! It took me 45 minutes to eat all of it. I also had coffee and it was perfect for my taste. My service was excellent and timely. All the staff was friendly and helpful; especially Maddie and Nick who were my servers. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this establishment and will probably bring my wife with me soon even though we live across the river a little ways from here.”

“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!”

“Very good food! Jazmenn was great and she was very sweet. Gave us lots of good recommendations for our first visit to the Quad Cities!”

“Please show this place some love!! Absolutely amazing food and the service was top knotch. Im sure they are struggling with the road construction around their building. 10/10 recommend.”

“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 always purchase a small pepperoni and sausage pizza and have never been disappointed … I love Alfonso’s Pizza in Rock Island … You all ROCK ❣️❣️❣️”

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

“Steve's is what I would call a neighborhood bar. On the small side inside but makes excellent use of the space. They have 7 or 8 TV's, including a large screen on one wall. There are video gaming machines, an ATM and karaoke on Monday nights. They serve food, including sandwiches, tacos, and other delights. And, of course, a wide variety of beers and drinks.”

“Amazing food and quick service”

“Oh My God! The food is OUTSTANDING!!! My best friend was moving from California to NY with her three kids (i was helping) and while driving I was looking up places near where we were staying to eat. 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.”

“This place is amazing! I was there last week had Pad Ped w Tofu. It tasted so good! In fact, the tofu here tasted better than the filet mignon at a different hibachi place that I had today imagine that. Seasoning and expertise is everything and this place has it 💯”

“Love this place! Nothing like it anywhere!”

“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!”

“Going to miss this place being close by. Great food. Great family and always fun to talk with. Hope your new venture works well for your family. I’ll miss your steak tacos and salsa”

“great service! chill spot!”

“Thank you Kim for checking if butter pecan was available!! You made my day :) first time customer and I’ll definitely be back. 10 out of 10!!”

“How does anyone NOT love this amazing gem? Just go there and you'll see why....”

“I had a coupon that was expiring the next day but the Whitey's closer to my house was shut down because of the severe weather coming in. Not this one, though! 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!”

“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 enjoy being a spectator at family-friendly karaoke in the Market Grille (and occasionally singing)!! DJ Shawn is awesome!!! They need to have this more often (with Shawn), at least once or twice a month!! The management needs to bring back family-friendly karaoke!! Trivia nights would be great as well!!”

“I love Cool Beanz. The drinks are delicious and the prices are just right. They have a small lunch menu as well. I've always been impressed by their salads and sandwiches.”

“We was there today for the 1st time and the food was amazing can't wait to go again”

“A nice chill place, food is a 10/10. Highly recommended everything, even the veggies were bomb.
Destiny was a wonderful bar tender and sever all around. Definitely recommend this place for a hang out spot, as an out of towner we will be sure to return ??”

“Excellent selection of drinks and the service is always outstanding!!! They're also very involved in their community and great supporters of other local vendors!!”

“In town for one night and stumbled onto this spot. Was exactly what we were looking for. Friendly atmosphere, good drinks, great prices. We will be back! The bartender Misty was the most welcoming part!”

“My boyfriend and I are from out of town and stopped at Looneys on a whim. It was the best idea ever! Patrick was such a great guy who not only made a great pizza, but provided the best hospitality!! Will be coming back!”

“Horrible service this morning! Server was too into her phone! Never came back to check on us until my mom had already walked out to car and was done. My eggs were snotty and i asked for over medium. No coffee refills!!! Absolutely pour customer service!”

“Our first visit to Awake Coffee in Davenport was flawless. With a 10/10 rating, the service was exceptional, and the staff were incredibly friendly. The menu catered to all tastes, including my picky eater on the spectrum who loved the Strawberry Banana Smoothie and the Bacon, Sausage, and Egg Biscuit. The availability of breakfast sandwiches all day was a highlight. Awake Coffee exceeded our expectations, and we highly recommend it for a memorable dining experience.”

“Quick stop for lunch as I had never before been there and my o my how I was pleasantly surprised. Don’t expect atmosphere, expect great tasting dishes that taste home cooked!”

“1-2-3 reviews1. They only take cash!! There is an atm but the fee is around $3. Drinks are cheap though, so that helps2. Darts, Slots, jukebox, and outdoor patio3. Very nice and sociable bar tenders! The bar tenders at corner tap are always super nice and talk to everyone!!4. Mens bathroom sucks ??(Sorry, had to make a 4th)”

“This place rocks � .........”

“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. 🤷‍♂️”

“The food is always really good and the staff have always been friendly! It's a shame they don't have a dine-in option anymore after covid, but that's not a huge setback. Good food and friendly staff make up for it!”

“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!”

“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!”

“It's taken me much too long to get a review on here, but this is THE BEST Little Ceasars. I can always count on good, fast, friendly service, and its always fresh! The staff is great, and I can honestly say I've never been disappointed with this location..I wouldn't be leaving a review if I had!”

“Best pizza in QC Area they need to bring back to eatin dinning so enjoy the Fresh taste from there oven to my Table”

“The food is very delicious, a very traditional Mexican seasoning, the food made daily, from the beans, the rice, their enchiladas, stuffed chiles to their shrimp prepared to order, leave you very satisfied in terms of portions and flavor. The atmosphere and its staff are very pleasant, highly recommended ???

Vegetarian options: The delicious vegetarian burritos, also the breakfasts, and the traditional bean gorditas are very delicious”

“If you love BBQ, then you have to stop by Jims Rib Haven. I've been going there for years and always fantastic BBQ. Their house made sauce is legendary along with the baby backs! You can buy it to go if you want for your own BBQ. If you're in the Quad Cities and love BBQ, it's a must try. A+ (forgot to add, you can bring your own beer in)”

“Great environment, The waitress Alyssa took a lot of Care. To make sure that everything I had was ok. Great place,I will return! Would recommend you stop in!!!”

“great pizza... I will not be eating Harris again..... their pizza has nothing on Poor Boys.. and has declined greatly over the years.. ... THANKS POOR BOYS!!!..”

“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.”

“I've been to 3 different locations and the service has always been good but the food is my main focus and the fact I can choose how I want my grilled chicken sandwich is a bonus but the most important part is how very delicious they are.”
