And let me tell you it was a very nice surprise! This place is family owned and the cashier was one of the owners. He was very friendly, very knowledgeable and loved to share his knowledge about fresh, organic food. I had the XL Taco Salad which is so big is good for lunch and dinner. And had the peanut butter cocoa smoothie. Both are really good. I am from Los Angeles and I miss my PB smoothie from my local favorite place and this took me home! I really like all the variety of dishes they have. I am happy to say I have found my local place in Rock Island! The only thing I recommend is to check when you pay extra for avocado. I payed extra for the avocado and I barely got 3 very small pieces.

We were barely seated when they began taking drink orders--super efficient and friendly service right from the start. I tried the Cherry Bomb Blonde beer and really enjoyed it--light and flavorful. The servers worked as a team and got everyone's orders in quickly, which is impressive for a group our size. We started with the pretzel bites and beer cheese, which were a definite 10/10--warm, soft, and perfectly paired with the cheese. We also shared a hamburger pizza, and really appreciated the thin crust and how the hamburger was broken up into small pieces. The sauce was sweet, and we would've loved just a little more of it (or maybe some on the side for dipping). We're not from the area, but if we were, this would definitely be a regular spot. I've included pictures of the BLT pizza and the jalapeño pineapple pizza that others in our group ordered--both got great reviews too. Overall, fast and friendly service, especially impressive for a large group, and the food was delicious. Highly recommend!

It helps that the restaurant also has a giant sign so it would be very hard to miss the building. I entered on the side where, I think, I drove over the curb to get to the parking lot but there was no big issue. It also helps that I got the first parking spot luckily. Outside the building is very nice. My daughter noticed, and the loved, the pig in the front and the tractor. Once we got inside, she was mesmerized with everything the place had to offer. I also enjoyd how they offered a toy tractor to play with while we are ordering and eating. For my late breakfast, I had the Country Breakfast with the country fried steak, sunny side up eggs, shredded hash browns, and toast. I thought we could get the shredded hash brown casserole but must of been a mixup between me and our waitress or the cooks in the back. The country fried steak was delicious. I enjoyed the rest and it is your typical breakfast restaurant...good ole hearty food. My daughter, surprising, ate most of her food and hers + mines toast which was rare. Of course, we had to leave the restaurant with a new brand toy. She thought the one we got the table was hers to keep as well but she quickly understood that it was not and she got another toy to play with. Overall our server was nice and the food was delicious. I would return in the future if I am in the area again.

Waited at the cash register to be seated. Nobody came asked one of the waitresses. How does it operate here she said I can sit anywhere so I sat towards the back. It wasn't full maybe about 10 to 15 people the most I watched five other customers walked in and got seated and greeted well and served their food before me after waiting 25 minutes or so then a waitress walked up to me and asked me am I just sitting here or do I want to order how rude I politely got up and told her I waited long enough. I will never come back here again. The worst experience I had I've eaten that other machine shed but this one by far the worst I will never come back six waitresses and I saw about two houses walking around. Don't even waste your time go to Denny's. I would seriously fire them and hire a new polite and friendly staff.

There have been a couple times where it felt a little slower, but nothing too bad. The food is definitely the best part though. My favorite thing there is the pork nachos, they're honestly really good and I would go back just for those. The portion is big and the flavor is really good, so it's easy to share but also hard not to eat all of it. Overall I'd say it's a solid place to go, especially if you're looking for something casual with good food. I'd definitely come back again.

We made the 10 minute drive to downtown Davenport and found the place with easy parking right across the street. This a neat spot near the Mississippi River and in an old brick building. The restaurant was rustic industrial and very clean and pleasing. We were greeted and took a seat near the window where we could view the river area. Our server was quite attentive. I ordered the smoked Gouda burger and cheese curds and my wife ordered the chicken strip basket. Our food arrived in a quick manner. The burger was awesome. The Gouda cheese was creamy and the burger and grilled onions were hot and fresh. The cheese curds were hot and fresh and came with a side of house made ranch dressing. My wife enjoyed the chicken strips that appeared hand breaded and she really liked the hush puppies (yes, we time time for the hush puppies). This was a pleasant change from the other meals we had on this trip. If your are in the area, give it a try. The photo of my meal almost didn't happen because I was enjoying it so much.

There are many options to choose from. I had the Bock and Cheese pasta, while my partner enjoyed the Millionaire Bacon Burger. Both dishes were phenomenal. The only minor issue was that the burger, ordered medium well, was served medium rare. No big deal. The restaurant was being decorated for the holiday season, which added a fun touch! The space is open and airy, ensuring you don't feel crowded, and it's very clean. The beautiful modern-industrial style is perfect for hosting events.

Our waitress came over in good time and took a drink order which showed up in very good time. I also asked a menu question which she got the answer to right away. As another reviewer stated it is *cold* in there! I keep a sweater in my bag for this purpose but still, I was cold. 86 outside, 66 inside (at a guess of course). They may keep the air cold to cool down that hot open kitchen. Bring a jacket or sweater. Our food came out in good time. Portions were generous. Plenty of cheese on my burger. I can understand how another reviewer mentioned the food is salty. The burger is mixed w/a GC spice blend that does seem heavy on the salt. At first it was fine, but I couldn't finish my burger. After a while the taste just stuck in my throat and was too much. May want to pull back a bit on the amount of spice blend being added. The crinkle fries were really good. Nice and crispy. My dining comlanion got the buffalo chicken wrap. Plenty of meat, spicy sauce and veg in this wrap. Trouble is the wrap barely holds the filling in and as the sauce makes the wrap wet, it inevitably fell apart. It is very tasty though, and he happily ate it with a knife and fork. Maybe a bigger wrap is available? 'Cause that portion size is excellent. Staff do seem to congregate in the kitchen area with the expediter. As the dining room got busier, we naturally saw less of our waitress but she did check in a few times and was sure to keep the water glass full and offer drink refills. The ladies room really needs a visual make over and deep clean. It does have a bit of a swampy smell. A machine by the sink, that I believe is a dehumidifier, had a light on it blinking "empty". So the tank was full of water? If it had been running, that may have helped with the smell but I don't know. It wasn't offensive, just a humid bathroom smell. The beer is good, as one would hope from a brewery. They have a selection from Irish Red to pilsners. The menu says to ask about sours. The interior is comfortable, casual with a mix of booths and tables. A couple of the booth seats are in serious disrepair (torn/split material exposing the foam cushion) and need to be fixed. A bar with high top tables is on the other side of the hostess stand keeping the areas seperate. A glass wall seperates you from both the brewing tanks on one wall and the kitchen on another wall. Restrooms by kitchen. Plenty of parking in their private lot. Those entry doors (two sets) are *heavy!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at McAlister's Deli in Davenport, IA, and I must say it was a fantastic experience from start to finish! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere. The restaurant was clean and well-maintained, and the staff was incredibly friendly and attentive. The menu selection at McAlister's Deli is impressive, offering a wide variety of delicious options. I opted for the McAlister's Club sandwich, and it was absolutely delicious! The sandwich was freshly made with quality ingredients, and the portion size was generous. What stood out the most was the exceptional customer service. The staff went above and beyond to ensure that my dining experience was enjoyable. They were attentive, accommodating, and genuinely seemed to care about providing top-notch service. Overall, I had a great experience and would love to come here again! read more

This is the absolute worst McAlister's Deli. I got shorted one sandwich but they had the side... I wait for 30 minutes in a drive-thru to pick up my food. Then I had to go in to get the food. I am not even trying for a refund and they had horrible service. This is absolutely unacceptable even in today's labor shortage. I will only go to the location in Moline. read more
