Patty the owner is awesome!! She made sure that we (my friend and I) being out of town were able to make it back to our hotel and had food in our belly's. Joel the bartender was great as well!

Bartender brought us a menu, got our order and got to work. Coffee in styrofoam was hot, delicious on a cool morning. Our food came hot and tasty. The eggs might have been a bit overcooked but they were good. The 4-4-2 was such a generous plate, 4 eggs, 4 sausage patties, & toast cost $10. Our other order eggs & ham, the ham slice was large & thick $8. Definitely closer to a greasy spoon than fine brunch spot but it was close to perfect for a hearty breakfast.

I drove by the Wunder Y thousands of times before I knew it was a bar. I'm guessing my experience…read moreis not unique. There's no sign, just a few windows, and with parking in back, most people use the rear entrance. It wouldn't be difficult to mistake the place for something much shadier than what it is. That's not to say, however, that the Wunder Y is without a hint of shady charm. It's rather steeped in it, actually, a dive to the core. Its patrons have made it into somewhat of an underground Moline institution. I'd never heard anyone even mention the Wunder Y, but once my friends and I finally started making the trip, we couldn't go there without running into someone we knew. For this reason, I like to think of it as my own little speakeasy. It's a great place to run into classmates, your old minor league baseball coach, and people that you thought were dead. They're all down at the Wunder Y. The shuffleboard table is a big draw, and I've seen a few people get hustled with it, insofar as you can get hustled at shuffleboard. But if a couple old guys walk up and ask if you and your buddy are up for a game, it's a pretty safe bet that you're going to get your ass whooped. If you're just a spectator, ask if you can operate the ancient scoreboard. That thing's going to be on Antiques Roadshow some day. I should mention that I once hated the Wunder Y. It grows on you a little bit with each visit, though, like a nicotine addiction or a rash. Best dive in the Quad Cities, which is saying something.

Upon entering your eye is drawn to the floor as a result of the luster...and wear! The floor has character. Several layers of tile are evident. For some unknown reason, sections of tile are gone revealing layers of time similar to an archaeological dig. All layers waxed over preserving the time capsule. A lot of Chrome and Formica here. The stools, probably original & been around for a while and well used. Why replace them...just put new covers on them! So they did. The bar located in the midst of an ALCOA mega plant is uniquely sited. A vintage "Shot & Beer" joint with a great vibe. Only the people change!
