Pulled an all nighter, trucked in, experienced one of the better designed showers on the road and decided to sit at the kitchen restaurant. Holy smokes! Reminds me of Knottsberry Farm Broast Chicken from back in the days when we'd host our Varsity Southern California CIF post season banquet and of all the choices ..BJs...California Pizza Kitchen...etc...they decided Knotts..but the chicken was excellent! And I would pass up Church's Chicken for the fried chicken here at the truck stop. Mash potatoes, Baja chicken soup, baby back ribs, Meatball marinara ... Well executed***make Shamrock and Sysco proud! However the beef on the pot roast tasted like it was drenched in baking soda and experienced velveting overdose. Overall service was excellent. And I'm coming back here whenever I get the chance! #Walcott #Iowa

They took great care to let us know how pleased they were that we came all that way. This time we had the "Pretzel Popper" burger. When I asked our waitress what it was like she said it was "like a flavor explosion in your mouth". That's all I needed. I didn't even read the rest of the menu! Such good food!

This is for new Moline location. Only black mark , I tried to call an order - busy signal. I don't…read moremind driving so called RI location - busy signal . So I waited in line for 15 minutes at moline. No problem. Ordered a simple double burger, she kept trying to make it plain- doesn't the default come with the works that's listed on the menu? Ordered a second single cheeseburger, again she tried to make it plain. Ordered a basket of sides from the ala carte menu. Clerk affirmed this side was a "basket" order. She read the order back to me, nope she got it wrong. She got help. Third time was a charm. I asked if I could use the pick up window as I had my elderly father in the car waiting. Nope. They said since I didn't call my order in - I couldn't use the window ( are you serious?) I explained I had tried to call a few times. Nope. So I waited, no problem. 15 minutes later I got my order and headed to the car, it looked sketchy as there were only two containers. Uh where was the side basket of onion rings. Opened each container, second container had a handful of very mushy looking onion rings squished next to the burger. Nope. My dad saw it and wasn't impressed, lol. Headed back in to explain my order must have gotten mixed up. Was told by 2 different young clerks that the ala carte side order of rings was the same amount as ordering them as a combo? HUh, Are you sure ? I can get a combo (add on a drink AND a side for $4) or I can pay a whole dollar more, ala carte -NO DRINK ??? $4.99?? So I said "I guess make it a combo if that's all the rings I get- you said it's the same, give me a drink too and refund my dollar." They called a supervisor- still had to explain how this didn't make sense. Took a hot minute. She had the kitchen make an order of rings and said it was a simple misunderstanding. Ok. Now the food: burger taste unexceptional, like where's the seasoning? Bun so mushy, I suppose from the steam in the container? Their house sauce.. mild almost bland. I'm sorry, I really am, I love finding unique eateries and advocating and supporting them but yikes. Nope. They do have their prices going for them and a fun, nostalgic atmosphere. I really wanted to be wowed. But nope. Edited: forgot - asked my dad how was his burger and he made a face: "nothing was there! (Their Smashed version means they use less meat) "No flavor! " I concur dad, I concur.

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!

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!

That was underselling it - this cider house is awesome! I love that there are so many different fruit flavors in their ciders. My personal favorites were the watermelon and apricot. There is also a great selection of burgers all the way from your classic cheeseburger down to a no-meat burger, each with its own unique toppings. I got the 'Merica Burger and didn't even have time to take a picture because I just scarfed it down. They have a great selection of sides too - chips, slaw, potato salad, or a glass of your favorite cider! We will definitely be coming back to the Cider House every time we are back in town.

My only complaint is that food service is kinda slow and the way you order food and drinks is kinda clumsy. It's almost like the food is an afterthought to what was originally intended to be a bar. I recently made the mistake of going on a Friday night at 7pm. They were busy and there were about 10 people ahead of us in the line. It took 30+ minutes to reach the order window, at which time we were informed it was an hour and a half wait to get our food. Why couldn't a manager or a staff member inform the people standing patiently (as the line was steadily growing) of the wait time before we got to the window? Completely unacceptable lack of customer service. Once you actually get your food, it's great, and the bar service is pretty efficient. Great selection of drinks.
