    Sweet potato pecan pie
    Lealand T.

    Food was DELICIOUS. VERY flavorful. There wasn't a single thing that wasn't amazing. Best soul food I've had from a restaurant. The whole staff if very professional, but also very nice & personable from the nice lady at the counter, to the cook, to the owner. The inside is clean & there's always soul music playing. Nice place overall. I'll definitely be coming back.

    Absolutely delicious and more than reasonable! Everything was freshly cooked. We had a shrimp basket, chicken basket, Mac n cheese and peach cobbler. Go now!

    Half fried wings, greens, Mac n cheese, peach cobbler, corn bread, mild sauce, and lemon pepper seasoning

    Some of the best soul/creole food I've tasted in the quad cities!! Everything is packed with flavor! When I walked in the doors and saw grandma at the counter I just knew it was gonna be good. Omgg that peach cobbler was sooo good. It's definitely a taste of home

    2nd time here. Brought 2 friends. This time I ordered the Shrimp Poor Boy. Will, the owner, provided great service. The food is so worth the wait. Made with love.

    Fried Catflish Filet Plate. Collard greens, Mac and cheese, cornbread, and a sweet potato pie

    What can I really say about this place other than "Ermagherd!" After a week of trying various eateries all over Quad-Cities I'm so glad I found this place. It's off the beaten path in a residential neighborhood. It appears to have been a converted home and can easily be missed if you aren't keeping an eye out for it. This place, in my opinion, is the best eats in town. Soul food at its best. The people working here are by far the kindest and friendliest people around. They put a lot of work and love into their food and it definitely shows. The food and even the desserts are made from scratch. I ordered a fried catfish filet plate and was not disappointed. The plate came with two sides and cornbread. Collard Greens: Pure life altering joygasm. Yes joygasms all day because of these collard greens. You get real bits of turkey paired in well seasoned greens. A good tasting of salt and juices made for an amazing party in your mouth. Y'all need to try these greens. Please add this to your bucket list if you haven't already tried it. Mac and Cheese: Their mac and cheese is no frills awesomeness. Cheesy gooey goodness in every bite. There was a fair texture to it and not all mush. Plenty of flavor that unsurprisingly, pairs extremely well with the collard greens. Catfish Filet: A nice large catfish filet with perfect breading. It had a crunch and texture to it that's amazing. The catfish tasted clean and not muddy. Cooked fresh and came out hot. Breading never slid off the meat of the fish and held well. The fish went amazing with the tabletop hot sauce they had (Trappey's IIRC). Cornbread: Loved the cornbread. Had a taste that makes you want to go home and hug your family. That special nice to have side on your plate that just makes you want to smile the entire time you eat. Sweet Potato Pie: Bits of real sweet potato in the filling. Amazing... I can't even... I mean... just eat it please. All in all, this was the one establishment that I'd have to visit if I was in the area. Good, honest, down to earth delicious cooking. I've never had a meal where I just kept nodding my head in agreement at how good it was. If this place was in a major city like Los Angeles, Dallas, or New York I'd have no doubt that the food they serve would be building lines out the doors, down the streets, and around the corner. They cook their food when its ordered so its served fresh and hot. So there appears to a be a fair wait after ordering. I assume it may be good to call and order ahead if you want to mitigate your wait. Other than that, make sure you try this place and give your stomach a treat please.

    *UPDATE* we came back as promised :) delicious! Tried Mac n cheese, meat pies, gumbo (the gumbo was a freebie!) again crazy happy with our food! My favorite was the meat pies. Delicious filling and super thin flaky crust. I highly recommend trying them! They also do a jerk chicken, so next time we are definitely trying that! Y'all, do NOT pass up Pee Wee's!!!!!!! Let me tell you...FIRE!!! When I say we hit the jackpot, the jackpot! First off, the place is squeaky clean. Motown playing and best service in the world! There is no substitution for honest and friendly people. That will keep a business running even during a recession! Darcy at the front taking our order is a gem. She had us try a sample of their take on red beans and rice and it was literally the best I've ever had. No joke. So naturally that was ordered as a side. The owner was there working and making suggestions and just being an overall nice person right along with the rest of the workers. Asked about us and talked back and forth about our travels. We felt really welcome and honored to be treated so We went with their suggestions and had Ox tails (only available on the weekends), French fries, red beans and rice, fried chicken wings, and cornbread. Ox tails - rich smooth gravy with carrots. Hubby was very pleased and I loved it as well. French fries - fresh cut and delicious. Lightly salted. Red beans and rice aka my soul mate - so good. Beans soft but not over cooked. Rice cooked perfectly. Made with pork andouille sausage peppers, onions, etc. the flavor was phenomenal. Slightly spicy. You HAVE to try this dish! Fried chicken wings - Golden and crispy and light! I didn't have to fight to get it off the bone, it just slid right off. The pieces are the right size not those jumbo wings that are flavorless. They even cut their own chicken pieces. So impressed! Cornbread - fluffy and sweet and moist! Best I've had outside of Louisiana. We are going to be back in the area in 2 weeks and will definitely be back. I have to try the greens and the meat pies when we come back. I feel like the red snapper is about to happen too!

    Last night in Moline, and I was ono for some old fashioned comfort food. Searched Yelp and settled on Pee Wees a few miles away. Stopped by in the early afternoon. Pee Wees is in a residential district with lots of parking, although I'm sure it must get very busy around meal hours. Very clean interior. There are a few tables inside, it seems like the majority of their business is takeout. Wanted to try a couple of items, but they didn't have a mixed plate. Did the next best thing and got a smothered pork chop plate with 2 sides (collard greens, green beans) and a 2 piece chicken basket with fries. $16 not including tax or tip. In due time my order was ready and I took it back to the hotel. On the drive back I was tortured by the wonderful smell of the dishes, I couldn't wait to dig in! When I ate, the taste blew me away! The succulent gravy, the juiciness of the pork chop, the satisfying crunch and moistness of the fried chicken, and all 3 sides were thoroughly enjoyable! This was the best meal I had for both value and taste during my week trip to Rock Island! I will keep Pee Wee's in mind if my travels ever bring me back! Definitely repeat and recommend!

The chicken wings took a little while to cook, but the wait was well worth it when we received the steaming hot and perfectly spiced and crispy wings! Delicious! The candied yams were very good and the corn bread and Mac and cheese were both pretty good as well. We will definitely be back on a Thursday to enjoy the fried tacos! The person working also came out and checked to make sure everything was good. There was a nice personal touch to the food and the whole experience. We also appreciated the location because it gave our son a fun little area to play in and stay occupied. He loved the puppet show and the whole space was just very inviting and clean. Can't wait to come back and bring and some friends!
