Absolutely amazing food and service! Our waitress was exceptionally friendly and attentive. The cornbread was moist and bursting with delicious corn flavor. The pulled pork and mac and cheese were both exceptional. If we ever find ourselves in town again, we will surely come back!

We had a fantastic time at this charming restaurant! The staff was amazing, and the view of the Mississippi River was breathtaking—possibly the best in the Quad Cities, in my view. We particularly enjoyed the salad bar and the renowned Brian's Twice Baked Potato! We will definitely be back!

This delightful restaurant boasts a wonderful salad bar and an extensive menu. They offer a fantastic selection of local wines and beers, and the steak was exceptional. The seafood Florentine was also magnificent. The salad bar had a great range of options, and the patio was beautiful. Overall, the service was commendable. View menu

I went to the restaurant to sample their food, as I'd heard positive things about it. Google indicated that dine-in was available, but when I arrived, I discovered that it was closed. It would have been useful if this information had been updated on Google or their website, but I couldn't find any mention of it. Overall, I was quite disappointed.

The food was outstanding, and the staff was friendly and attentive. However, many of the items we wanted to order were unavailable, despite our early arrival for dinner at 5:00 PM. This was especially disappointing at the bar. Furthermore, I recently reviewed my credit card statement and discovered that they added a tip without my approval. Be wary of this. If I could, I would rate them zero stars. Taking advantage of customers is a clear reason for me to never come back.

On Sunday night, we arrived at 6:40 PM and were seated right away without any wait. However, it took more than 75 minutes for our food to arrive, which was entirely unacceptable for a group of four. The wait staff did not offer any apologies, nor was there any attempt to provide a discount on our bill. The management at this restaurant is quite poor. I seriously doubt it would thrive in a bigger city. I won’t be coming back, and I won’t recommend this place to anyone moving forward. View menu

I visited this restaurant for the first time on a Wednesday afternoon. The highlights of my experience included an amazing waitress, beautiful views of the river, and delicious French onion soup along with tasty cheese nuggets. Plus, the salad bar was a nice touch! On the downside, the prime rib was overcooked—I had ordered it rare—making it hard to cut and chew. Also, the kids' spaghetti turned out to be fettuccine marinara with very little flavor, which was a bit disappointing. Don’t try to fool my kids! Lol.

I have to confess that I was slightly reluctant to check out this restaurant after seeing some online reviews, but I ultimately had a delightful meal and an excellent experience. We arrived at 5 PM on a Wednesday and were immediately welcomed, seated, and had our drinks within just five minutes. Our waitress, Gina from the original Bud's, was very attentive and made sure we had our drinks and food in under an hour. The restaurant also had live music outside and was surprisingly bustling for a Wednesday night. I would definitely come back!

I believe they need to update their hours on Yelp. According to their listing, they are closed on Mondays and Tuesdays and open from Wednesday to Sunday, 4 p.m. to 9 or 10 p.m. The last time we attempted to dine there was on a Sunday afternoon, and after driving all the way there, we discovered they were closed. As a result, we ended up at Miss Mammie’s in Moline, which is open from Wednesday to Sunday starting at 11 a.m. There, you can order almost anything from their menu, including steak dinners and baked potatoes. This used to be an option at this restaurant as well. If they ever get their hours straightened out, we would likely give them another try because the food is really good. Unfo... View menu
