Penny's Noodle Shop Chicago, IL
While I am not a big fan of most Oriental cooking, I found Penny's to have a large selection to choose from and I found the taste to be okay. My wife, a big affectionado of such cuisine assused me that it was delicious! The service is good and the wait is not as long as you might expect for the long lines waiting.
Dick's Last Resort Chicago, IL
Pricey, greasy, messy. . . but fun. If you go with a not very serious attitude and cash to spend and a large group of like mind, you can have a ball here. I would rate the food a 2, but for fun, it rates much higher, perhaps a 4.
Artists Restaurant Chicago, IL
This was just a kind of cool place to go, especially after seeing a show as part of the cast usually shows up here. The price is steep for what you get, but everything in Chicago is.
Zephyr Ice Cream Restaurant Chicago, IL
This is a great restaurant! They offer a pretty wide selection of dishes from steak and seafood to sandwiches and best of all, desserts! The service is one of two extremes - either the worst you have ever seen and just wonderful. Fortunately, it is usually the latter.
Ann Sather's Restaurant Chicago, IL
This Swedish restaurant offers a nice selection of dishes. The breakfasts are very tasty! Service is good and the restaurant is clean. Can be tough to get to with not much parking nearby.
Leona's Pizzeria Chicago, IL
Choose something other than the pizza and you will be fine. The other entrees are great. The wait, however, is usually excessive. Sometimes it can get very loud in this crowded restaurant.
Abbey Pub & Restaurant Chicago, IL
Bring an ear for Irish brogue and a healthy appetite. The food is delicious here (especially the fish n chips) but if your ear isn't tuned to it, these 1st generation out of Irelanders can be hard to understand!
Thai Touch Restaurant Chicago, IL
Offers a great selection of Thai dishes and most offer the more traditional "really spicey" Thai way of cooking them or less spicey. The service is great every time!
Miss Mamies Catfish House Moline, IL
I found this restaurant to be okay. It was not spectacular, but the food and the service were both good. The serving size was acceptable for the price and the selection was pretty large for a catfish house.
Checkers Davenport, IA
As far as fast-food goes, Checkers is pretty good. The food is fresh and the hamburgers juicy! The french fries have a slightly spicey seasoning giving them a great taste. The milk shakes are also suprisingly good for this type of restaurant. There is no inside seating with only a few benches for patrons so this is best for on the road or to take home. An excellent value when you catch one of the specials!
Outback Steakhouse Davenport, IA
This is a great steak place. The food is excellent and huge! A nice change from the baked potato is the sweet potato and Outback does it right. They also serve a brown bread with the meal that is delicious. The dining area can get loud at times when the area fills up but it is worth it. Patrons come in evertyhing from semi-formal to extremely casual. On weekends this can fill up quickly so be prepared for a long wait.
Ebbets Field Springfield, MO
Ebbet's Field is a very nice little microbrewery. The cuisine is somewhat limitied with a few pasta dishes and some burgers, but the taste is great! The service was quick and friendly and the atmosphere was very relaxed. There were patrons in suites and dresses as well as jeans. This would be a great place to just kick back and relax as well as to enjoy a casual meal.
Panera Bread Davenport, IA
If you are looking for bagels or bread, this is the place. They have a wide variety of both. However, when it comes to meals . . . The variety is much more limited to deli sandwiches and soups. The soups, however, are great, expecially in the bread bowl.
Faithful Pilot Cafe & Spirits Le Claire, IA
The Faithful Pilot was a charming little restaurant. The fodd was good but I felt the serving sizes were a little small for the price. However, the bread they serve with the meal almost makes up for it. This brown, crusty bread is delicious. The service is pretty good and the quiet dining room is not very crowded although it is almost always packed.
R J Boar's Bettendorf, IA
Bring your appetite to RJ Boars! They serve delicious BBQ. The serving size looks substantial at first, but if it is not pulled BBQ, there is a lot of bone in the ribs (duh!) and the work to get to the BBQ is frustrating. But the food is very good and the service is very friendly and prompt. And you get plenty of wet naps to help you clean up!
Duck City Delicatessen & Bstr Davenport, IA
What a unique dining experience in the Quad Cities! From deli during the day to cozy bistro at night, the atmosphere is sure to please. The ala carte menu at dinner provides a lot of variety and excellent portions. The desserts are worth planning ahead for and don't forget about the after dinner drinks and cigars. Definitely a dining experience not to be missed.
Rosie's Little Italy Marion, IN
A quite, red tableclothed, candle lit Italian restaurant with a fine selection of Italian dishes. The veal parmagina is a delicious sleeper dish.
Whitey's Bettendorf, IA
Whitey's is the place for ice cream. The have a selection to fit most any one's taste - including a fat free/sugar free selection. From shakes, to malts, to ice cream rolls there is something here for everyone. The atmosphere is relaxed as there are only a few chairs inside and few benches outside but the staff is serious about getting you the best ice cream in the Quad Cities. The patrons dress in everything from cut-offs and T-shirts to wedding dresses and tuxes. Yes, it is true, my wife of only 30 minutes and myself went to Whitey's still dressed in our full wedding attire. But that's another review! The reputation of Whitey's even extends to the White House. When 1st lady Hillary Clinton was looking for a particular style of Peppermint ice cream to serve at a class reunion, the White House came to Whitey's for it. Actually, they didn't come. the called and they shipped it! And they will for you too. Just call and you can have Whitey's ice cream delivered in dry ice to your door!
Quad City USA Family Rstrnt Moline, IL
A great family restaurant! The service is always quick and friendly. The menu runs from breakfast items to Greek, Italian, seafood and American cuisine. The atmosphere is almost always rather quite as it is predominately a local seniors establishment although younger crowds are starting to discover this little jewel in Moline.
