QC must also mean Quality Control cause the food here was delectable…read more Waking up in the Quad Cities with no game plan and an empty stomach is what lead us to this fine destination. I was tasked with finding a place close to our hotel and this one sounded like what both Emily and I were craving. We got there a bit before 9am and were greeted with a 30-40 minute wait time. Since there probably would've been a wait time anywhere else, we gave them our name, number and headed back to the car to chill. Not even 15 minutes later, we got the call to come in and have some breakfast. Since we had time to kill in the car, we planned out our orders before we went back in so we were able to order right away. Emily got the Western Skillet and I got the Western Omelet. For how busy it was, the food took no more than 10 minutes to come out and it was a lot more than I was expecting. For an omelet, this thing must've had like 12 eggs in it. Same for Emily's skillet, it was served in a bit pan and it was filled with so much food. One of the reasons we picked this place is because they are known for their cinnamon roll pancakes. Emily got some for her side and I cautioned her that since its a side pancake, it might be normal ones. Turns out, it was the normal ones but good god, the one bit I had of them was heavenly. Turns out, the whole meal was mostly divine. The omelet could've had a bit more flavor to it but a little bit of salt and pepper helped bring it to life. Emily really liked her food but found the ham in her skillet to be a bit too bland for her taste. The food here was super good and a great value for what you paid. On top of that, the entire staff was super friendly and professional and handled the breakfast crowd like veterans in spite of the young ages of the staff. As we drove around the Quad Cities the day before, I pointed out the million different pancake houses to Emily, so, its funny and fitting that we ended up going to one for breakfast the next day... and what a good one we selected. They must really like their pancakes up there. I might have to add a few of them to my list of places to check out next time we are up here.

My wife had a half order of biscuits and gravy with an egg, which she loved. My son had the chocolate chip pancakes, which he devoured. Prices were reasonable.

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.

I've been going to Cracker Barrels since the 1980s. This is the first terrible experience I've…read moreever had. Arriving an hour before close, we waited at the abandoned host's station for over five minutes. When the woman who would become our server (Amanda) finally meandered past, she vaguely waved at the empty tables and told us to seat ourselves, and she would get to us. This three-starred apron-wearer then told us, when we asked for a breakfast menu, that everything was already included on the back of the lunch/dinner menu; fortunately a good server heard us, and brought us the actual fuller breakfast menu. This allegedly-experienced server then didn't understand three different menu items about which we asked, brought food wrongly-prepared, didn't understand what 'over-cooked' meant, and was actively snide and put-out when we asked for biscuits/cornbread before our meal--as the franchise has been doing forever (and when we pointed this out, wondering if perhaps it was a recent change, we were flatly told that we were simply wrong). I've never before even had sub-par service at this chain, much less an actively hostile server. The food was fine-to-good, if mildly incorrect to what we ordered, and accompanied by things we **didn't** order. The restaurant and store were as expected, even if the registers were wholly unmanned alongside the empty host's station. It was nigh-empty for our whole time here, which tracks if the locals have had similar experiences. The capstone was Amanda telling us about her awfully long shift and how a boy was very sick here earlier in the day; wonderful imagery with a glass of whine for dessert--who could ask for more‽ (Don't ask for more.) This experience was sufficient to get me to redownload Yelp, log into Yelp, and write all this. I think that's noteworthy.

Many servers and the hostess knew our pals and called each other by name! The breakfast menu is generally standard fare. But be prepared!! The portions are beyond generous.

It was OUTSTANDING! Carol and Chet ordered omelets with pancakes. Seems like THE go-to for them. They were not disappointed.
