10/10 I got so much food and every bite was hot, fresh, and delicious! I got a double cheeseburger with fries, fried chicken, a catfish filet, candied yams, and greens! I can't wait to make my way back more more! Bonus: Aunt Bea's is the sweetest lady! It felt like I was sitting in my aunties kitchen. Good conversation, amazing food, bold flavors! You won't be disappointed!

Today was my first time visiting Aunt Bea's Cafe, and I'm very glad I did. I ordered two eggs and cheesy grits, biscuits and gravy, and a side of collard greens. There is counter seating facing the open kitchen, as well as table seating. I chose to sit at the counter. This place is perfect for anyone who likes home-cooked food in a charming atmosphere. Aunt Bea isn't just the name, she actually cooks the food!

Aunt Bea's is the true definition of don't judge a book by its cover. This Rock Island staple will be celebrating its 30th anniversary this year and is definitely worth the visit. We ordered the biscuits and gravy just to try because other customers were raving about them and boy did they not disappoint. Made from scratch and they are probably the best I have had. I then ordered a bacon double cheeseburger and dinner salad. I am not a huge burger fan at all and I absolutely loved it. Full of flavor and cooked to perfection. The salad was good as well. The pricing was beyond reasonable and Aunt Bea herself was behind the counter cooking. Please consider supporting this small business, you won't regret it.

Tiphanie's is one of my favorite things about Davenport. The food is fantastic. I've never had…read moreanything that was less than delicious! I always say I wish I could get a sampler with a couple bites of each sandwich/app/entree so I can enjoy it all. And the desserts are AMAZING! The special Tiph bars (my favorite) are so irresistible they've been sold out the last two times I've been there! I live in Iowa City and I try to stop in any time I go to the QC or even driving through on my way to IL. My only complaint is that it's nowhere near I-80! The food, the baked goods, the decor and the vibe are all top notch! I may have to make a trip there this weekend and order one of everything!

My first experience with her? I called to order a smash cake for my baby's first birthday. I sent my budget and a reference photo like any normal parent would (which was the most simple and plain cake that I actually ended up making myself but better) and she laughed -- actually laughed -- and said, "Let me put it like this, you're asking for a BMW cake on a Honda budget." That's what she said to a first time mom and first time customer. I was disgusted. That moment told me everything. She acts like she's doing people a favor by taking their money. The desserts are mediocre, the food is a joke, and her public responses to reviews are even worse...petty, defensive, and dripping with the same arrogance I heard on the phone. Then there's her social media.. full of cringe-worthy videos that make you wonder how someone can be this unaware of their own attitude. And apparently she orders Instacart and doesn't even tip. It's all the same energy: take, brag, and belittle. If she ever treated customers with even a fraction of the respect they deserve, she might actually have a good thing going. But for now, her reputation matches her product.. stale and hard to swallow.

As soon as you walk in you're immediately greeted by cases of enticing homemade candies and chocolates. They offer a variety of chocolate as well as one tray of sugar-free chocolate. Around the corner of the chocolate shop is their old fashioned style ice cream parlor where you can order classic or specialty ice cream sundaes as well as malts, milk shakes, banana splits, and ice cream sodas. They also serve sandwiches for lunch as well. If you're ever in the Davenport area, this is the place to go to!!

I also picked up an apple as they looked delicious. The cashier was friendly. I then decided I wanted ice cream. That is where it went wrong. I was told I can self seat at the counter. I do. I sat for a long time. A family sat next to me and ate their apples they just purchased and yet still no help. After a while I finally got up and left with never having been spoken to by any staff at all. Needless to say very sad I was. I decided to at least try the chocolate on my way to the car. The chocolate covered toffee was good. The creams. While I keep trying them in many places but have yet to find one I really like. The bon bon. We're ok they were not super but I would buy the. Again. As for the Apple I ate that when I got home from my trip. It was very interesting. I got the peanut one as it's usually my favorite. It tastes like peanut butter I got no Carmel essence. Next time I will try just Carmel as it seems to be one of their specialty. The apple or self was perfect

While I did live in Iowa for a little over a year and my partner is a born and raised Midwestern…read moreboy, I admittedly only went to Whitey's once or twice--the closest location to us being inside a mall food court. The ice cream was always good, but while back in the QC visiting family this weekend, my partner informed me that I hadn't had -real- Whitey's yet. Challenge accepted. A bright light shining on an otherwise quiet street at this time on a Sunday night, I was ready to get down with some really solidly good ice cream from some of the masters themselves. The staff was friendly, attentive, and good spirited. They had lovely holiday decorations (couldn't resist snapping a quick photo) and a huge case full of ready made ice cream cakes and hand packed pints. I went for a scoop of butter pecan with a scoop of chocolate chip cookie dough (fun fact, Whitey's claims to be the originator of cookie dough ice cream) in a fresh waffle bowl. The butter pecan was...I'm just gonna say it, LIKE BUTTER. The balance of the sweetness of the ice cream with the texture of pecans was *chefs kiss*. My partner got a vanilla malt which was thick, rich, and a steal at twice the price. All in all, I feel like I've had a more authentic Midwestern ice cream experience and I owe it all to the bright light at the end of the ice cream bar.

They need to do something about their stale cones. I couldn't tell you the last time I had a fresh…read morecone from here and we are there at least 3 times a week. Country Style always has fresh cones.
