I've eaten at the Rudy's way out in West Davenport a couple of times and thought it was tasty, but I recently was at the one in Waterloo and LOVED it. They have this whole "Local/Fresh" thing going on and a bit different menu. Wish there was one closer to where I live!
Harris Pizza is one of the few things I miss about QC, my absolute fav. pizza joint is Benny's in Milan, out of the way but worth it. +1000 on the Belgium Village (7 years later & still haven't found a better Rueben) and Bier Stubbe.
Been awhile since I've been there, but i always loved the Circle Tap and Coach Fennely's family owned it. Great place.
Make sure to hit Augies in RI & stay at the Traveler in Bettendorf, built in movie rental/toy store in lobby.
Good luck with that ... thankfully, the Traveller Inn has been demolished and is now an empty lot.
I called up my friend Leroy on the phone
I said Buddy, I'm afraid to be alone
'Cuz I've got some weird ideas in my head
'bout things to do in the Quad Cities when you're dead.

Blasphemy!!!!! Next thing your gonna tell me is I can't walk across the street and get a magic mountain.
If you're referring to Ross', yeah, that's still there and you can still get a magic mountain. Actually, when President Obama visited Alcoa last year (or the year before, I don't remember), he stopped at Ross' and got a magic mountain. The big joke is everyone else on Air Force One flew back to Washington commercially that evening...

Johnny Cash - Big River
Now I taught the weeping willow how to cry
And I showed the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky
And the tears that I cried for that woman are gonna flood you Big River
Then I'm gonna sit right here until I die
I met her accidentally in St. Paul, Minnesota
And it tore me up every time I heard her drawl, Southern drawl.
Then I heard my dream was back downstream Cavortin' in Davenport
And I followed you, Big River, when you called
Then you took me to St. Louis later on down the river
A freighter said she's been here but she's gone, boy, she's gone
I found her trail in Memphis but she just walked up the block
Raised a few eyebrows and then she went on down alone
Now, won't you batter down by Baton Rouge, River Queen, roll it on
Take that woman on down to New Orleans, New Orleans
Go on, I've had enough, dump my blues down in the gulf
She loves you, Big River, more than me

I like Harris pizza, but it is overrated. Same for Happy Joe's. You may hear a lot about Whitey's Ice Cream, but I think it's overrated, too. Country Style Ice Cream is where it's at! It's not nearly as popular as Whitey's for some reason, but its soft serve ice cream is out of this world.
With regards to shopping malls, it's pretty pathetic here. Both NorthPark in Davenport and SouthPark in Moline are lame.

Soft serve ice cream, by definition, is ******. It's a poor substitute for the real thing.
