We really enjoyed lunch here with some family we met up with in town. It was super-busy downtown, but we got all the attention we needed. The food was excellent. We enjoyed spicy cheese curds and fried pickles with wasabi ranch (get it!!). I think everyone enjoyed their food fairly well at our table. I personally really liked the Carolina burger and devoured the truffle fries I ordered with it. Our server was kind of a suggestive-selling king and had great recommendations for additions to our orders. I thought the Barrel House logo burned into the top of the brioche buns was a nice touch. Another big win was their Lavender Lemonade. So good. I would definitely recommend Barrel House on 2nd if you're down by the river in Quad Cities! read more

Does the cesar dressing taste like honey mustard to anyone else? Ordered a chicken cesar wrap to go and it tasted like honey mustard instead of cesar dressing. read more

This place gets 5 starts for the incredible bartender, Jackson. Friendly and welcoming. Ask him for a lavender old fashioned, you will not regret it. Typical bar/restaurant in most aspects, I sat at the bar both times I visited. Had a good chicken salad sandwich the first night (which was very good), came back the second night simply for another of the lavender old fashioneds. The folks I sat next to at the bar were consistently friendly (even though I mostly prefer to read my book) and the place did steady in person and take out business. I would have kept coming back had I not left town. Highly recommend! read more

I called this to go to place. The waiter kept us engaged and was friendly and knowledgeable. He made the place for us. The food was delicious too. We ordered barbecue sandwich with fries and loaded macaroni that had bacon and broccoli with garlic bread! 2 draft beers. Yummy! I like tge set up inside TVs running! Music going and the decor is awesome! read more

The food was great once it came. We waited an hour and forty minutes for our food. Thankfully we had great company which made the experience bearable yet what was disappointing was not once having a manager come over to apologize or offer anything for the inconvenience. To me that is unacceptable. read more

Every time I've eaten here (Davenport or Bettendorf) I've had great food and great service.

Stayed at a nearby hotel, and this was the only spot open late, so I gave it a shot. If the burger had been warm, it would have been great, but I was starving, so I couldn't care less. I sat at the bar at 10:30 PM (half an hour before closing) and stood there for a good 10 minutes while the clearly drunk bartender made two cocktails. I ended up leaving. But since I wanted to eat, I went back in and sat at the same spot. There were some tables with people hanging out after dinner, but nothing serious or busy. Finally, the bartender noticed me--out of that huge bar--and asked if I wanted a drink. I told him I was hungry. It took a while to place my simple order: a plain double cheeseburger with sweet potato fries. After 15 minutes, he said, "I'll go check on your food." Two minutes later, he brought me a cold meal and said, "It just came out..." ‍‍‍ Hey bud, enjoy that tip I still left--because I work in the same industry and know the difference between a busy night and staff getting drunk while on the job. ...Just saying. Not even sure were those 4 (FOUR!!!)stars comes from??? read more

As a regular, I have to tell you Action Jacksons days are numbered and you have to stop in for the Action Jackson experience before you miss out!

Burger, egg was overdone and bacon was cold/tasted old. Overall it was dry and tasteless. Firecracker shrimp was good but nothing you can't get elsewhere. Staff was friendly and others looked happy so maybe I just had a one-off bad meal. read more

We just moved to the area and gave this place a try. So glad we did because it was so good! The nachos with moonshine barbecue pork were fantastic! The pork was so tender and the sauce so delicious, next time I will get that in a sandwich! I had the turkey/ham club - great a huge. Our son loved his Wasabi burger (not so much the chips) and my husband enjoyed a loaded burger. Great atmosphere, wonderful servers. We'd done a hike earlier in the day, so the happy to have an ice cold Coke to end the day. read more

We arrived here for a late night dinner after we saw a show at the Adler Theatre. We were greeted by a very friendly server named Jay. He was phenomenal. He went above and beyond and us all of his drink and food recommendations and made sure we knew about any specials. Jay was very attentive and made sure to refill our waters and drinks. He really made the experience enjoyable and is very passionate about his role at the restaurant. The food was phenomenal! We started with cheese, curds, and pretzel sticks. All the sauces were homemade for everything and they were delicious. My husband got a 2am burger and I got a veggie burger. We both enjoyed cocktails. He got a strawberry milkshake with booze in it and I got the special fall martini. We will definitely be back next time we visit. read more

We came with our family- have to say the food is AMAZING along with the service. Everyone at the table was completely satisfied with their meal! As a table we shared the cheese curds, spinach dip, and chips with queso. The Bent River Hippie (draft) hard to explain- the description is different as far as the ingredients but the taste is on point! I am from Co and the draft beer out there is dirt compared to this! you will enjoy both your service and food. Thank you Tiffany and Nathan! read more

We had the worst food, soup was cold, the $17.00 hamburger was so over cooked and dry it was not fit to eat, service with 12 little potato rounds (like a tater tot) that were good! A chicken sandwich was so over cooked and dry , not fit to eat. read more

Needed a quick dinner in Davenport. Wonderful waitress. Beer was good too (Oktoberfest beer?) My mac n cheese was good. I mean it's mac n cheese.

We had planned to eat at another restaurant but plans fell through at the last minute and I'm glad they did! I looked up places to eat nearby and found Barrel House so we headed over. The menu is extensive and had something for everyone in our party of 6. The food was amazing, but what made our experience so awesome was the service. Allison was our server and she answered tons of questions, shared her personal supply of bug spray with my mom (we sat outside) , and when my dad's fish and chips came out not looking so great, she sent it back before we had a chance to mention it. My dad loved the fish and chips! I had the Diablo burger and it hit the spicy spot I was craving - went well with a IA brewed beer. Everything about our experience was excellent - we will be back! read more

Stopped into Barrel House after doing some biking along the trails in the area and was left impressed. They had a special aloha burger with pineapple and a delicious glaze that was absolutely delicious and their homemade chips were nicely done. Will keep this high on my list if I'm back in the area. read more

Barrel House - Spicy shrimp wrap, easy spice for me. - New American Near Me - Davenport, Iowa

Used to go here often. The last few times have been very disappointing. The last time I went with a family member who gets easily embarrassed so I didn't complain. Ordered a portobello and Swiss burger. Came with zero veggies or anything. I get that because most places that offer any sort of mushroom and Swiss combo have some sort of sauce. Not this one. Dry as a bone in every sense. Asked my server for onion and tomato. Got no tomato and this is the "slice" of onion I got. Yikes. read more

Barrel House - Very bad onions - New American Near Me - Davenport, Iowa

A complete and utter disappointment. The drinks were dope but the quality of food was subpar. The nachos came out very sparse portions and the cheese was slapped on the plate. The shrimp tasted good, but they were claimed to be jumbo Prawn and I received 6 small Fried shrimp drowned in sauce. I was completely shocked and literally appalled. The patty melt was really really good, but not good enough to save the day. This is the first place we came to because we were are mining to the quad city area from NYC and was told of all the amazing food and Barrel House came up. This place needs some serious management. read more

I really have been impressed everytime we have eaten here. The service is great, the menu has a ton of great choices, and there lots of indoor and outdoor (seasonal) seating options. I like the firecracker meals, especially the shrimp quesadilla and the cheese curds. There are tons of beers on tap, many are on a rotator so it never gets old. Really great location for baseball and hockey games, its just a few blocks. Parking can be a challenge, but street parking was free. Overall, a great date or family gathering spot. Also a great place for watching the game. Can't wait to eat here again. read more

What a wonderful place to go and enjoy yourself with family and friends! Full of warmth and passion this place really nails it on the head with service and food presentation! The art and brick wall environment is great for the downtown feel! read more

Barrel House is great for a burger and a beer. I've essentially summed up the entire experience in a single line! They aren't trying to razzle dazzle. There's no smoke or mirrors, or flashy lights and gimmicks. The service was good and attentive, the menu is pretty diverse and includes everything from appetizers to burgers to even some Mexican style dishes, and it's all done fairly well. For lovers of shrimp, which I most absolutely am, their firecracker shrimp is pretty on point. Great flavor without overpowering or burning your taste buds. I of course went with a burger; there are over a dozen over the menu, most of which are Angus but they also have bison and lamb options. The 2am burger has eggs, bacon and hash brown. Honestly, what else could you want on top of a burger? And with what appears to be a mostly locals crowd, Barrel House lands solidly on my list of places to relax, catch a game, and have some beer and good food. read more

Good service and some really delicious and creative dishes! Give them a try. The popper dip blew our minds, and the pulled pork tacos AND cucumber salad were both awesome. The portobello sandwich was really good, just too much dressing made the bottom bun soggy. Flavor was still very nice. read more

The service was amazing, we ordered carry out food and it was all cold, food was just ok, I'm thinking it might be better to eat it there.
