Hungry on a drive through the Quad Cities and leading to Chicago, we stopped at a terrific place on…read morethe Mississippi River shore and so glad that we did! LeClaire is a fun river town, and at its north entry point is Big Dave & Holly's, with both indoor and outdoor seating, and a fabulous vibe. Loved meeting Holly, and the interior of the place is wonderful, with photos and signs, and all kinds of personality. (Hint: there is a duplicated sign if you can find them) Had a great burger with bacon, and I love crinkle fries! Added a tasty cole slaw side and onion rings. One of the best burgers I have had in a while. Enjoyed a hot fudge sundae with M&Ms for dessert! But it was the overall vibe of the place that resonated, as locals and travelers mingled and interacted with Holly, who is wonderful. I am absolutely coming back!

A friend of mine works here, and recommended that I stop in for the tenderloin. I'm afraid that I…read moredidn't take her advice. Instead Copilot Jimmy and I saw the Reuben sandwiches on the menu, and decided that we didn't need to look any further. These sandwiches, grilled to perfection, were piled with meat- real, honest-to-goodness corned beef, not some thin slices of lunch meat. The kraut was still crisp, the dressing was creamy... if they hadn't had ice cream, I might have gotten another one for dessert!

We went for a brunch meal on the weekend. This place doesn't look like much in terms of facility…read more The building is old and it's not necessarily that nice looking on the inside. In other words, it may not be a great place for a date. If you are looking for a good meal though, don't let it's appearance turn you off. I had the Cuatlatl skillet. The sausage was decently spicy. The rest of the dish was not spicy. The result of that mix was that the spiciness accented the other flavors of the dish without overpowering them. It was a solid breakfast skillet. My wife had a an omelette (I don't remember if it was the Greek or Garden). She liked it and made the specific comment that the spinach seemed like it was cooked inside the omelette rather than just being laid on top of it. She liked this about it. My kid had plain pancakes. There was nothing special about these, but they were done well. Prices were decent. Our waitress was good. The restaurant was busy, but she stayed on top of things. Overall, this is a hidden gem. The food is pretty good, even if the place doesn't look the part. I would eat here again.

First time eating here, it was lunch time so we ordered lunch. It just didn't do it for us. I gave…read moretwo stars and that's for the very good service and friendly staff. Certainly not for the food. First thing we found quite different was no dinner rolls or even wafer crackers to eat with your salads. I don't ever remember a diner over all the years that didn't serve one or the other....or both. Nope, you just get a salad and dressing, that's it. No shredded cheese for the top of your salad nor was it offered. My wife had the Chicken Parmesan. To her it tasted like store bought tomato sauce from a can. No taste to the rest of it at all. For bread, two pieces of toast. She ate not quite half of the meal. It wasn't as good to her as from other diners over the years, not at all. I had the Broiled Steak Sirloin with cooked onions. No flavor, no taste, I couldn't taste any seasoning. I was quite disappointed. Normally these are made with a good quality fresh hamburger or even mixed with some ground sirloin and with some seasoning. I would say this wasn't made from fresh, not in my opinion. I only ate about half because I was hungry. Sorry to say but the food was sub-par compared to many other diners we've eaten at over the years yet they charge right up there with the prices for it today. We haven't been to a diner in years where if we have half of it left, it goes home for diner the next day. Not this time, we left it all behind. We'll give them one more try and that will be for breakfast. We won't be trying it for again for lunch. Sorry, but this all really missed the mark for us.

Quick find for us in the area that wasn't fast food but seemed fairly quick for service…read more Diner looking on the outside. Plenty of cars in the parking lot, which is a good sign. Walked in and clearly this is a local hotspot for regulars. We were there on a Sunday(around 10:30am). Gentleman in front of us had the paper and was acknowledged by one of the waitresses to sit at the 2nd blue booth and she would be right with him. Gotta hometown feel. We were seated by an older gentleman (didn't realized he worked there. Looked like a customer). He mumbled "follow me". No "hi" "good morning" Strange but ok. Waiter was also not very talkative. Some might dislike this service or not. I don't really mind. I'm there for food, not chit chat. Coffee, diet pepsi and water. Coffee was real good. International Delight creamer cups already on the table for convenience. Water more than likely was filtered and not straight city water(at least it tasted good to me). I got biscuits and gravy with 2 eggs (over easy). Impressive serving. 2 biscuits cut in half, smothered in sausage peppered gravy. Biscuits we good. Nothing fancy to say about those. Gravy was creamy and plenty of sausage throughout. Perhaps too peppery for my liking but I was able to finish the plate. (Did I mention we were hangry?). Eggs were ok(we are use to farm fresh). Over easy like I ordered. Boyfriend requested House Skillet with choice of toast for side. Imagine a garden, then toss some hash browns in, meats and slap on 2 eggs! All the things in this skillet. Mushrooms, peppers, onions, tomatoes, ham, bacon, sausage, hash browns, cheese-all topped with 2 over easy eggs! Hefty portion! He was happy with it. Not "bangin" but great taste. For the quick decision of stopping here, we were happy. Service was speedy. Just not service with a smile. Perhaps Sundays are their busiest days. Oh forgot to mention! Cheap! Large portions- ain't leavin hungry for a penny pincher!

We decided we would come back and try it for lunch because the breakfast was very good…read more Unfortunately the lunch fell down for us. Smaller salads which is fine, but the honey mustard dressing was skimpy and not best. No bread served with the salad or even salad crackers. My wife had a hamburger and I had a patty melt. Both appeared to be preformed hamburger patties. You can pretty much tell, same shape, not much taste or flavor. My wife said hers was dried out. We go for the diners that use fresh ground beef, hand made. We ate maybe half of each. The fries and onion rings were good, but difficult to justify at +$30 for both meals. Doubtful that we would try much else here for lunch but the breakfast is very good.

A two egg omelet isn't that large but it was part of the breakfast special so it is what it is. The onions are peppers were too large, those should be prepped smaller in our opinion. Not much cheese at all. The American potatoes were good. The biscuit and gravy was sort of good, it's like a milk gravy. The biscuits were good. The problem is you expect like sausage gravy or something for some taste and flavor, there really was none. Came straight out of the kitchen and it was basically cold. Then came the pancakes, whoa! I couldn't figure out where the odd taste was coming from. Without saying anything I asked my wife to try a bite. She then had a strange look on her face. Thought it couldn't be from the whipped butter, syrup maybe? No, then we each tried a bite from a pancake with nothing on it. Whatever the odd taste was it was in the pancake. Couldn't quite place the taste, some added flavoring.....whatever it was it wasn't good. Served one container of whipped butter which is only enough for one pancake. Didn't matter as it turned out. We might try them again for lunch but we won't be back again for breakfast. Sorry, but it just didn't work for us.
