I'm going to be in the Quad Cities for meetings all next week and looking for any ideas of things to do/places to eat for breakfast and in the evenings. I've been a few times but figured some of you would have better recommendations.
Food in QC
- Thread starter ccruzen
- Start date
Drive across the river and take a piss on Illinois soil. Send a message for Thursday.
Off of Hickory Grove there is an Applebees. Close to a Wal-Mart and Hy-vee. Can't go wrong.
Harris Pizza in the Quad Cities is good. Unique "quad city style" Pizza. Cut into strips instead of triangles

No dine in anymore at least at the Davenport location. And their prices are sky high. The taco pizza is still good but I'd rather just have Happy Joes at this point and I wouldn't have to eat it in my damn car.
Pricey, but I suggest Duck City at least one night. My favorite place.

Happy Joes
Harris Pizza
There's a Portillo's in Davenport now
Hungy Hobo is a local sub shop
Armored Gardens
Filling Station
Grinder's & Spaghetti House - The Gondi is so good
Front Street Brewery
I've never eaten at Barrel House but they're spreading out over eastern IA and know people that say its great

Portillo's is a Chicago tradition, so wait until we beat Illinois to enjoy that one (it is good). That is up on 53rd.
The Filling Station, just south of North Park Mall is a nice little neighborhood joint.
If you want expensive, go to Bass Street or Johnny's Italian in downtown Moline (good food but pricey).
edit: if you want great cheesy bread at a bar, go to Bad Boyz Pizza/Bar in downtown Moline
The last couple times I've been through I've stopped at Steel Plow Burger Company in Davenport. It looks like there is a location in Moline too. I've had great food there.
I used to go to the Hungry Hobo in Iowa City all the time. One day they just changed their name and logo but had the exact same menu. I always wondered how that worked...
There's a Hungry Boyz in on 100th in Urbandale that uses the same French bread and still has all the interior decor of Hungry Hobo. I went in once and while ordering asked if it was connected and the guy in the back chuckled and didn't answer, lol
It's OK, but overplayed. I heard it is beginning to struggle, which could be as the newness/novelty wore off.
I second Grinders, Harris and Front Street. Machine Shed is always good, too.
