The staff was very friendly and professional. They worked with all of the food allergies present (peanut/treenut, gluten, dairy, and egg) with full confidence and options so everyone had a safe salad, meal, AND dessert! Anyone that has food allergies, or is close to someone that does, understands how amazing and comforting this is. Lisa answered all of our questions, and worked with our schedule to set up tastings (have I mentioned that the food was AWESOME?!). Deciding what our main courses were going to be was the most difficult part of or journey with them, simply because everything we tasted was wonderful. They are located in the Holiday Inn in downtown Rock Island, and serve at both the hotel and offsite (ours was offsite, but our tastings were in the hotel and their meeting and gathering spaces were all very nice and freshly renovated). Long story short, work with Main Event! I promise you won't be disappointed in their excellent food and service, and VERY reasonable prices!

Just wow! Stopped in in a whim with friends and holy smokes, I'm a fan. First of all, we loved the…read moresassy name. Secondly, the person at the counter was warm, gracious and very, very patient as our group of 6 waffled over which tasy option to try. Thirdly, and most important - the food was amazing. I was feeling adventurous, so ordered the ribs (I was pretty hungry). Service was super fast, like less than five minutes, and what came out was six HUGE meaty ribs. I think I managed three before I called a retreat (and saved the rest - they were delicious two days later). I liked their sauce so much that I bought a bottle. I honestly don't remember the sides but there were two and they were tasty. Others in the group enjoyed their choices too - not much left in baskets 15 minutes later! We got there in the dark, so can't report much about where they are. I think they might be on a golf course, based on interior cues? There is a walk-up window and a smallish dine-in area - maybe 5 round tables. Not big on decor, but that's not what we were looking for! Will definitely be back when we're in the area again!

The entire experience was pleasant and easy to navigate too. I filled out a form with options of what I wanted, the number of people, day, time, location and form of delivery method. I received a call same day to go over the quote and was very happy with the pricing. The day prior I also received a call to confirm my order. On delivery day the company was prompt arriving a few minutes early and everything was fresh and hot too. We had the chicken, brisket, mac and cheese, pasta salad no pepperoni, green beans, and brownies. Everything was so delicious and it came with bread rolls too. The bbq sauces we had were amazing too although I don't remember which sauces. I will highly recommend them for your catering events and plan to use the again.

William knows his way around an industrial kitchen, he found the warmer and stored our extra trays to keep them warm.  All the trays were labeled perfectly so that we could easily replace the covers.  We had enough food left over to donate to the community center where our event was held.  When William called to follow up after the weekend, he was happy to hear that we'd done so, his business also donates food.  If you have an event in the Quad Cities and you're seeking good BBQ and southern comfort food, I recommend Strickly Southern Catering.  Without a doubt, 5-Stars!

"Dedicated to the American Farmer." That is The Machine Shed's creed…read more Today (August 1st 2025) my wife and I stopped in for lunch, and I'm glad we did. It was our first visit so we weren't sure what to expect. I now know you can expect: friendly service, reasonable prices, and good food. When you walk in the front door it is a little confusing. There is a gift shop, and the restaurant is past the gift shop; but the hostess stand is in the gift shop. You also pay your dinning bill at the gift shop counter. The gift shop got very congested, but it was not a big deal and won't impact my rating. We started with a cup of French Onion Soup. It was very good, they top it with some thin french fried onions which was a nice twist. It has been awhile since I've been in Iowa and I was craving a breaded pork tenderloin sandwich. The sandwich was good but not up to Iowa standards. I'm accustomed to a breaded pork tenderloin that is pounded nice and thin and is way bigger than the bun. This was not pounded thin. It was a thick cut of meat. But, I repeat it was good. My fries were delicious. My wife had the Classic Burger and it was excellent. She said her sweet potato fries were good (I did not try them). Service is friendly, and prices are reasonable. One word of caution: If you are on a road-trip and hoping for a quick stop (as we were) be warned it won't be quick. Everything is made from scratch, which is great, but it definitely takes longer. If you are in Davenport and looking for good food at reasonable prices you might want to stop by The Machine Shed.
