A Hidden Gem That Deserves More Love If you don't have haters, you're probably not doing anything bold -- and this place is bold. Passionate. Personal. And phenomenal. Tucked into a small, intimate space with limited seating, this restaurant isn't trying to be everything to everyone -- and that's exactly what makes it special. It's not a chain, it's not flashy, and it's not mass-produced. It's a passion project. You feel it in the food, the atmosphere, and the attention to detail. Every plate tells a story, and every bite confirms that you're in the hands of someone who cares deeply about the craft. Yes, it's different. Yes, it may take a little patience. But isn't that part of what makes an experience memorable? This isn't fast food -- this is slow art. Some reviewers just won't get it. That's okay. But if you're someone who appreciates soul, originality, and flavor that can't be found in a corporate kitchen -- this is your spot. Give it a try with an open mind and a hungry heart. You'll be glad you did. read more

Some of the best bar food that I've had in a long time. We went during pizza night and did not get to experience the full menu, but the pizza's that we had were delicious. Next time I'm back in the Quad Cities I will be coming here. read more

After eating all the pasta he could, my husband's words were "I'm sad I'm full. I want to keep eating that food." Generous portions, delicious food, and friendly staff. read more

Holy Moly! After stalking, I mean following the FB page since they opened, we finally got to try it for ourselves. It did not disappoint! We ordered the Drunken Noodles and Salisbury Steak. Flavor Town meet Goodness in Abundance. The drunken noodles were full of flavor, plenty of beef and delectable pieces of veggies. The serving size was enough for 3 people. The Salisbury Steak was served over biscuits and mashed potatoes smothered in just the right amount of gravy. The savory concoction was topped with corn ribs. Just yum!!! The service is not quick as everything is made to order and there is one chef in the house. The bar staff is very friendly and carries on great conversations with patrons as they wait in anticipation for their food. Such a cool place! read more

Great service made a lot of new friends bc some people have to sit and eat at the same table but it's a really good way to connect won't new people and there's games in the desk drawers for the kids if needed read more

I almost don't want to tell you how much I like this place because inside seating is limited and they don't do takeout! From the outside the place doesn't look like much and the inside is very casual with about 10 bar seats and maybe a dozen seats that looks more like being in your living room. They do have a decent amount of outside benches for nicer weather. The stand out is the food and service. Server was nice and responsive....made dinner a pleasure. The food: First, you get above average portions for a fair price. The food menu is eclectic. We had the Brussels sprouts and Korean meatballs. Both were so very flavorful and the caliber was not what I was expecting from a place that looks like this. Major surprise. Then we shared a Mongolian beef over rice. Again, fantastic flavor. We needed 2 good sized leftover boxes when we left. It was a first time for me, and definitely, will NOT be the last time. I see this becoming a regular stop. read more

One word......WOW! This place has some explaining to do!!!! How the hell do you expect people not to keep coming back here after trying your amazing food. I don't care about the limited seating I will wait happily. Keep on doing what you are doing you are phenomenal read more

Have eaten there many time and have never been disappointed. The chef really knows how to blend flavors and creat unique dishes!! It is a favorite of mine and my wife! read more

Do NOT patronize this place! It's a small shack, with poor quality and even worse service. The real crime is that if your try to contact them via their phone/email/social media outlets - you get no reply to any for days and then on social media you read a swear word laden assault of your intelligence and a complete disregard of your attempt to communicate. Holier than now snob owner. Can't close soon enough and sure it will. read more

Food was so good amazing quality.. lived up to the hype for sure. Going back tonight!

Friday night we went to Dizzy Horse and had Honey-Garlic Ribs, Mongolian Beef & Meatloaf Grilled, the food was delicious, we had enough to eat tonight for dinner. Thank you Chef Toby!! read more

I was suspicious when friends brought dizzy up. 2 tables and a bar in Milan. Oh, and there is generally a waiting line, what could go wrong. We were wrong. Loved everything about the place. Chef is a magician. We will be back. A must try for anyone in the area or passing through. Try Younan now. read more

I am appalled by the absolute divinity that is the Dizzy Horse. I can't stand paying for food that tickles my brain in such a way. The social friendliness of it's patrons disgusts me. Like.... i just wanna be lonely and reclusive. Don't even get me started on Chef Toby! The guy is so talented and inventive and genuine and approachable..... its just gross. Like save some cool for the rest of us. 1 star. read more

Went here for dinner. Got a Purple Rain and Green Apple to start the night. Wife ordered the Dizzy burger minus one patty, three would've been over the top for her. I got the crack burger. We both agreed the food was VERY salty to the point I got a headache afterwards. My blood pressure shot up super high. Quality of food itself was very good. Just over seasoned for us. We don't like much season on "our food" Portions are large. The average eater will definitely be taking a to go box. Price is fair for the amount of food you're getting. Atmosphere not your norm not tables to eat inside. So we ate at the bar. Service was very friendly Overall, I'll be returning just so I can try the drunken noodles. read more

We have been here twice - once before the seating change and once after. While we weren't sure how we would Like the change (more selfish because we wanted to be sure we could find a spot) we have yet to be disappointed! Food-Service-and price is all outstanding. We will Return and return' read more

According to the server/bartender, this isn't a restaurant; it's a bar that happens to serve food. I mean, it's accurate. The only normal tables are out on the patio, so if it's cold, you're of out luck. You can sit at the bar top, unless you want to sit on a couch and eat off of a coffee table. We were so excited to try this place. On a weeknight, we waited over an hour for a burger. One. Burger. It was super good, but messy to the point of not wanting to eat anymore between it falling apart and us sitting on a couch. If you have the time, the food might be worth it. For us, it was a one time experience. read more

Best 1 restaurant ever. Chef never disappoints his Dizzies no matter what you order. read more

Everything you have heard is true. The food is expertly prepared and the helpings are large. We did need a take home container. Great atmosphere with a fun interior decor. The staff is friendly and helpful. Chef Toby has another hit restaurant and I'm sure I will return. read more

So terrible the wife and I reluctantly drag our butts down at least once a week. You should avoid this place at all costs (that way there be spot for us). You're the worst, chef, keep it up! read more

Love their food and such a kind and sweet staff! Seating arrangements are a bit different, but absolutely worth giving these guys a try!

Food was Great! Portions were huge! Atmosphere was unique. Drinks were cold. Highly recommend!

My burger was way too salty both times I've eaten here, but the crab rangoons are just as good as Shanghai's. They have a nice patio area also. read more

The service was spot on and very fast. We didn't have to wait for anything and the waitress checked on us several times to make sure we had all we needed. The food was INCREDIBLE and probably the most flavorful meals I've tasted in a long time. We had a group of 4 and ordered 2 appetizers and all 6 menu items were memorable. The portion sizes were very large, so expect take home boxes. We will be back! read more

I do not understand the hype of this place at all. There are no tables. There is a bar and a couple couches, maybe a couple easy chairs, and a coffee table. People are hunched over the coffee table balancing food and drink sitting next to random strangers. It's not like the food is cheap either, so I don't get why someone wants to pay $$$$ for that environment. Even after that, I was willing to try it; however, my husband and I stood there a good 15 minutes and were ignored the entire time by the one person who was working on the floor. Food sits out at the kitchen window right next to where you stand to wait for seating. What's to stop someone from touching your food? Gross! Plus, the owner wants people to leave 1 star reviews. Well, this one is a real one star review. This place sucks! read more

When you see a line at a restaurant, there is a reason because people are willing to wait for good food! Last night was my first time and I was welcomed by a couple of regulars that were also waiting for dinner along with the bartender/waitstaff. Please be patient and enjoy the views of the food going by and decide what to order. I waited 45 min to an hour, and it was worth it! Made from scratch and I heard that the menu changes frequently. Go hungry and leave full is an understatement. One entree can feed a family of four. However, order your own entree so you can try many things and then have leftovers. My order was crabmeat rangoons and beef drunken noodles. Best rangoons to date in my opinion! The beef was plentiful and cooked to tender. My newfound friends asked me to join them for dinner and to try some of their order. Wow! Smoked turkey, buffalo chicken fries and Korean meatballs. The Korean meatballs soft, moist, no filler and accompanied with a vinegary, bright purple cabbage slaw. Fantastic. Support this place because aren't you as tired as I am of frozen bagged deep-fried food that is the normal offerings at many places in our area. Let's keep the good places in business! Talk to another diner and they will let you in on the 1-star (really 5 star) review inside scoop. Enjoy! read more

Food was abundant and delicious. I took my hamburger home and had the rest for lunch the next day! We wanted to eat inside because of the bugs. There are open seating areas with couches and coffee tables. I would like to see more tables inside. read more

Bartender took over 20 min to get our order when they weren't busy. Food was good but other places have food just as good but with better service. The bar had dirty dishes piled up all over the counter and it was there for over 45 min. They just didnt clean up the bar and used it as a place to put dirty dishes with patrons sitting in front of it read more

The food was amazing as in all our previous visits. Dallas , our server, is always kind and a step ahead of us in asking for what we need. Chef Toby and his staff are running the best 1 star restaurant we have ever encountered. The food is incredible each and every visit. read more

Food was amazing service was great and the atmosphere is very comforting! I recommend them.

The menu changes based on customer's requests and his creativity is everything from salmon to burgers to smoked meat and everything in between is so delicious that you will stand in the pouring rain just to smell the food there. Once you experience this you will understand the long lines and why he sells out of food a lot of days. Stop by and be part of the dizzy revolution! read more

I finally got to join the party! I've been waiting and watching for quite a while now. I got the Philly and fries and beer cheese soup. Enough to feed me for half a week! I don't even have words to describe my foodgasm but my toes were curled! Skip the foreplay and just bring me straight to the sandwich! read more

The best food around, you've gotta try it! Chef Toby works his a$$ off to please everyone that enters this restaurant

Let's turn a good restaurant building into a restaurant for 10 customers. 95% of this building is the kitchen. Hardly any seating. No actual tables. You sit on a couch. You have to wait for hours for a seat on the couch. You sit next to random people. Food isn't that great either. Just like the owners previous restaurant Tacobar, food isn't that great. I fully support local businesses 100% but when the owner ruins a good building and removes all of the seating and the food isn't worth the wait. I'll take my business elsewhere. read more

Food fantastic staff top notch! Chef fantastic! Definitely worth a look.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We ate at Dizzy Horse tonight and it was Amazing so much food & it was delicious can't wait to go back for more

The food was amazing, had the Drunkin Noodles and a Smash Burger both were to die for. plenty of leftovers for my daughter and myself. Service was excellent. 2 blue moons, a glass of wine, the drunkin noodles , smash burger and crab ragoons was'nt even 70 bucks. 3 containers of take home leftovers full meals themselves. was definitely worth the wait and missed attempts to eat there. read more

Pretty good overall. it's one if those places that tries really hard to be quirky, so that's a lot of fun if that's your style.

My husband and I came into town because his uncle is dying. We heard how amazing the food was at this restaurant, so we decided to try it. We gathered all the orders and made sure we were there right at open so not to interfere with the dining room. Only to be turned away because we had 8 dinners and 2 appetizers. Thank you so much for adding to the stress we are already under. read more
