Burger with fries

Our waitress was amazing and did a fantastic job. She was friendly, attentive, and answered all of our questions, so I really appreciate the great service she provided. Unfortunately, the food didn't live up to our expectations, and I don't think we'll be returning. My partner ordered a burger with fries, and the burger was very bland with little to no flavor. The fries also tasted like the fryer oil hadn't been changed in quite some time. We also ordered a $16 milkshake and a $10 sundae, and both were very disappointing. The cake and cheesecake tasted as though they had absorbed odors from the refrigerator, giving them an unpleasant flavor. The one standout item was the loaded mac and cheese, which was delicious and easily the best thing we ordered. It's disappointing because the excellent service deserved food that matched the same quality.

Always a pleasant time when we choose to dine here. The service is always top notch, and welcoming. The food is consistently good. The open dining atmosphere makes it feel roomy and not closed in. Highly recommend.

This was a s'mores sundae/shaje. Craziness!

All I can say is wow! We were 10 in all. Sat in minutes (it was a weekday). Service excellent. Good really good portions large enough for a healthy appetite. But the main reason my family wanted to come here were the shakes. OMG! Crazy large delicious shakes. We ordered 5 to share. But we could have ordered 3 and had plenty. The kids were able to get one with candy, another cheesecake, along with other variations. I can see why this place comes highly recommended. Definitely come hungry. When I'm next in Quad Cities, I'll return.

Really good place for a burger and a shake. Did I get those today, no. However, my friends really enjoyed them. I been here a couple times, and the mac & cheese, soup, and wraps are really good too. The Oreo cheesecake shake is massive and so worth it. I took half of it home along with the an entire slice of cheesecake. The service was really good. Both times I have been, the employees are friendly and interactive. They serve alcoholic beverages as well. I got the margarita flight, you get four flavors and they taste pretty standard, nothing crazy. Overall, really good place to eat at for a variety of occasions.

Brooks' burger melt with waffle fries

Huge portion sizes and epic milk shakes. Brooks' burger melt, tasted good, bit greasy (so not a healthy option). Love the chipotle ketchup. Medley of fries gives you the option to try all the different types, enjoyed sidewinder (like a wedge) and waffle. We had so many leftover, we needed a box just for fries.

This place is awesome!!! It's very clean, modern, and kind of homie feeling. The menu is chalked full of unique options. I got an impossible burger with spaghetti and ravioli on it! Nice to know that they have vegan options if you want a burger. Prices are about what you'd expect, most meals around $13-$14. Great place definitely check it out if you live in the Quad Cities or are just passing through.

Service is very attentive and they were quick to rectify the single error we've had in an order. We like the ambiance as well.

It's down across from the river in an older building. There's a good amount of parking and tons of character! We sat outside on a nice night - there were probably 8-10 picnic tables as well as a good amount of seating inside. The beer selection was solid and included a number of nonalcoholic options. The food here is gastropub style stuff and was really good! The Cobb salad was a memorable one with a ton of meat. The kids got Philly cheesesteaks - those were unexpectedly delicious and included homemade cheese whiz. Another kiddo got a chicken bacon ranch flatbread - excellent and reminded delicious out of the fridge the following day! The pizzas looked good too and were (as we found) all available as flatbreads. The service was excellent and despite the busy evening, they got to us quick and took good care of us. We don't often plan to return to out of town spots, but this is one we'll definitely be back to!

Everyone at my table ordered one of the speclity beers I chose the blueberry one. The serving was huge. I didn't think I'd be able to drink it all -but it went down so smooth I did. We started out our meal with the pretzel appetizer. Delicious, just the way I like them, a thin coating of butter and not too much salt and a few dips to choose from. The wait staff was very friendly and attentive. I had the buttermilk chicken sandwich, for my entree, it was huge! I didn't think I could eat it all - but I did. The sandwich came with a side of tots. There were millions of them it seemed (I was not able to eat all of those). It was a great place to meet friends for dinner on a cold and rainy night.

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.

Early afternoon we both started getting a little hungry, The breakfast sandwiches from Dunkin' in Muscatine had run their course. I'd heard The Filling Station had a pretty good tenderloin at one time and their site and online menu looked pretty good. It was easy to find and their parking lot is HUGE. No problem finding a place to park on a Saturday afternoon... Two hostesses greeted us as we walked in. One of them seated us, gave us menus, and let us know a server would be with us soon. Don't expect a Michelin star environment. It's kind of old school casual sports bar. Lots of dark wood and neon signs. Lots of TVs. Seating is booths as well as both low and high top tables and chairs. There's the standard bar and stools too... Standard table service for ordering and payment. I didn't catch the young man's name who served us, but my receipt said Jordan so I hope that's correct... Jordan greeted us and let us know he would be our server. Took our drink order, and let us know about a couple items on the menu. The tenderloin and wings. A couple minutes later he was back with our drinks and answered a couple questions we had on the menu. I ordered the breaded tenderloin and fries and Heather ordered the cheese curd burger with frie and a side of ranch. While we waited for our order Jordan checked in on us now and then and kept us updated. Our drinks (a tea and water) never hit the bottom of the glass. Our order hit the table hot and fresh! It was easy to tell the tenderloin, cheese curds on the burger, and fries were right out of the fryer. The tenderloin is 3/4 of a pound and served on an 8 inch bun. It's nice to see a bun that is some semblance of proportional to a large tenderloin... That being said... I think it is a true tenderloin and not a fritter. BUT it is pounded a little more thin than what I normally like... I could see why some people in other reviews, and on other sites, would mistakenly call this a fritter. It's a couple of whacks from getting the point of ground up pork. The taste was on point, but as I ate it I could feel it getting dryer and it was harder to eat when I got to the last of it. I think leaving the 'loin a little thicker would eliminate this happening... Just a thought. I'd still order it again as is. Heather really liked her cheese curd burger too. I'm sure the ranch was originally intended for the curds or the fries, but she said adding it to the burger made it even better... I'll leave that one alone... Chicken...sure. I'm not sure how I feel about the combination of good beef and ranch. Lol Prices were reasonable and Jordan stayed on top of everything the entire meal. Couldn't have asked for a better server! We had a stellar first visit to The Filling Station... I'm going to hit those breaded wings the next time we're in town!

It's decked out with live plants, some comfortable booths and some tables. It's an attractive space with a good view of the kitchen. It's a solid little space. We ordered the house salad, which is tossed in buttermilk ranch dressing and it's super delicious. Such a great salad to start with before the pizzas. It's large enough for 3 people to share, as there were 2 of us and we had some left over to take home. Brian Olsen has pizza on lock! He is a master at his craft. These pizzas have an amazing flavor, terrific crust and quality ingredients. They serve burgers and a chicken sandwiche, too! We ordered 3 different pizzas... one with garlic cream sauce and green peppers, one with pepperoni, sausage & red peppers and another specialty pizza with the hot honey & arugula with pepperoni and Calabrian chili's. Man, that was some good Za!! Claire was our server and she was terrific, too! Clearing dirty plates, refreshing silverware and beverages. Terrific attitude! All in all, Bettendorf has an amazing pizza restaurant that the locals should be grateful for in their own neighborhood! And, Smash serves beer, wine, and cocktails, too. I wish I lived closer. I'd become a regular and dine in often! Whenever I'm back in town, I'll be sure to stop by to try some different specialty pies, like the elote pie. That one sounded really good! So did the za with wild mushroom & kale!! Maybe one day Smash will create a taco pizza to compete with Happy Joe's, rip Joe Whitey. But, seriously, there is no comparison between the two. Smash is hands down one of the best pizza restaurants in the QC's and is better that many BIG city pizza spots. Thanks for the good time, great food & service!!
