If you're in Moline and looking for a place that nails both flavor and atmosphere, look no further than the Aircraft Grill. I had the chance to try their boneless wings, portobello mushroom fries, and brisket tacos, and let me tell you - every bite was unforgettable. The boneless wings are perfectly cooked with just the right amount of crispiness. Their sauce options are on point, and each wing is generously coated, packing a punch of flavor in every bite. The portobello mushroom fries were a standout. Crispy on the outside, tender and savory on the inside - they're an absolute must-try. These are a creative and delicious twist on your typical appetizer, and they pair perfectly with their house-made dipping sauces. As for the brisket tacos, they might just be my favorite. The brisket is tender, smoky, and full of rich, satisfying flavor. Combined with the fresh toppings and warm tortillas, these tacos are next-level good. On top of the amazing food, the staff is friendly and attentive, and the aviation-themed decor adds a unique and fun vibe to the experience. Whether you're grabbing a meal before a flight or stopping in for a night out, Aircraft Grill is a spot you won't want to miss. Rating: Don't skip this gem - you'll be planning your next visit before you even leave! read more

Early afternoon we both started getting a little hungry, The breakfast sandwiches from Dunkin' in Muscatine had run their course. I'd heard The Filling Station had a pretty good tenderloin at one time and their site and online menu looked pretty good. It was easy to find and their parking lot is HUGE. No problem finding a place to park on a Saturday afternoon... Two hostesses greeted us as we walked in. One of them seated us, gave us menus, and let us know a server would be with us soon. Don't expect a Michelin star environment. It's kind of old school casual sports bar. Lots of dark wood and neon signs. Lots of TVs. Seating is booths as well as both low and high top tables and chairs. There's the standard bar and stools too... Standard table service for ordering and payment. I didn't catch the young man's name who served us, but my receipt said Jordan so I hope that's correct... Jordan greeted us and let us know he would be our server. Took our drink order, and let us know about a couple items on the menu. The tenderloin and wings. A couple minutes later he was back with our drinks and answered a couple questions we had on the menu. I ordered the breaded tenderloin and fries and Heather ordered the cheese curd burger with frie and a side of ranch. While we waited for our order Jordan checked in on us now and then and kept us updated. Our drinks (a tea and water) never hit the bottom of the glass. Our order hit the table hot and fresh! It was easy to tell the tenderloin, cheese curds on the burger, and fries were right out of the fryer. The tenderloin is 3/4 of a pound and served on an 8 inch bun. It's nice to see a bun that is some semblance of proportional to a large tenderloin... That being said... I think it is a true tenderloin and not a fritter. BUT it is pounded a little more thin than what I normally like... I could see why some people in other reviews, and on other sites, would mistakenly call this a fritter. It's a couple of whacks from getting the point of ground up pork. The taste was on point, but as I ate it I could feel it getting dryer and it was harder to eat when I got to the last of it. I think leaving the 'loin a little thicker would eliminate this happening... Just a thought. I'd still order it again as is. Heather really liked her cheese curd burger too. I'm sure the ranch was originally intended for the curds or the fries, but she said adding it to the burger made it even better... I'll leave that one alone... Chicken...sure. I'm not sure how I feel about the combination of good beef and ranch. Lol Prices were reasonable and Jordan stayed on top of everything the entire meal. Couldn't have asked for a better server! We had a stellar first visit to The Filling Station... I'm going to hit those breaded wings the next time we're in town!

That isn't to say this is a bad spot by any means, it just doesn't offer a ton to write home about. I'll be honest, it's a dive bar. Now I love dive bars, and this is slightly a level up from a true dive bar, but not by much. The decor is no-frills bar-chic and the menu leaves a bit to be desired (I'd love to see just a FEW more options). We had cheese curds to start, which were tasty, and washed them down with some beers. For a meal, I had a burger and it too was tasty; not amazing, but tasty. I also had a side salad which was fine but very small for the price tag. Overall... hm... I found it to be a typical dive bar but, that said, my friend and I will probably look else where for your next rendezvous.
