Made 5:15pm dinner reservations before an 8pm show at the Adler. In true QC style, you'd expect a car crash during Friday night rush hour on the IL bound lane of the I-74 bridge. At 5:10pm, we phoned the restaurant to make sure the reservation was still available while expecting to be 30 minutes late. The accommodating staff host assured us it was quite alright and we were promptly seated upon our arrival at 5:45pm. Our server, Jacob, was courteous, friendly, and efficient. We told him we needed to leave by 7:15, and he provided us a great dining experience, while getting us out on time. I ordered a dry-aged DelMonico, and my spouse had the filet. Both were fantastic and were cooked exactly how we asked. I understand that some reviewers have mentioned the service here is slow, and I did notice some other parties looking around for their server. Perhaps this isn't the best restaurant if you are in a hurry? All I can say is, our experience was excellent, and we look forward to returning next time we are in the QC.

The wait staff is fast and courteous. The entire facility is spotless. The menus weren't slimy. The seats and table weren't sticky. I'm amazed at the cleanliness for a diner style restaurant. All the condiments were full. The servings were huge and really good selection. The coffee was fresh and tasty. We had omelets and french toast. Both were made with fresh ingredients. I'd go back here every weekend if I lived in the same state.

Family chicago style pizza joint
Reviewed By Wandering963
This small family run place does an excellent job. Three of us shared a Cesar salad without the chicken and a large thin crust pizza with sausage, tomatoes and giardenira. The salad was crisp and tasty served with plenty of an excellent dressing (in a package) on the side.The pizza was packed with toppings and delicious. The only thing I would change were the peppers. We thought they would be milder due to the type they were. We like hot peppers a lot but in this case they overwhelmed the other flavors so we picked many if them off. Still, a great pizza.

We came here for dinner before a Paul McCartney concert. Some of the music playing in the background was Beatles songs.The Mississippi blonde ale and the 2 pale ales were quite good. The Cobb salad came with a homemade Bleu Cheese dressing and extra Bleu Cheese. The BBQ plate came with 2 meats and 2 sides. All very good and relatively inexpensive.

After my daughter and I did some shopping nearby, we stopped for lunch. We needed extra time before ordering because so many things sounded appealing. She opted for the Diablo Salad and I had the Fruity Chicken sandwich with a cup of the Roasted Red Pepper Gouda soup. The presentation of the food was as wonderful as the flavor. My daughter raved about her salad, and I enjoyed the textures in the chicken salad as well as the large chunks of moist chicken. But the soup.....oh, that was amazing. It was so good that we took two cups of it home to have for dinner that night. I am from Chicago and don't get out that way often, but I definitely want to return to try something else and to get more of that soup.

This restaurant is a gem amongst other resturants. They go out of their way to make you feel at home. The servers are great. Anyone who doesnt think so is not observant or considerate. The food---ah, it's a real bargain and they cook it with expertise in the kitchen. Its my restaurant!

where to start? Arrived a few minutes early for our reservation, were seated just inside the door, it seemed. Service arrived later -- much later. Calamari appetizer was good, property cooked to my way of thinking. Then things went south. After some time, the server arrived; we ordered wine. it was presented later. We ordered dinner; salads arrived, mine had the wrong dressing. Server disappeared. Finally asked someone on the floor to find her. She returned. I pointed out that I asked for blue cheese dressing, not the house. Ok. She said, leaving the salad at the table. Steaks arrived next. My companion said, no, I don't want the entree with my salad in front of me. My "other" salad arrived. Server asked if we wanted our steaks returned to the kitchen. Yes, thank you. At some time after we finished our salads (punishment perhaps?) our steaks returned, I've never seen a skinnier ribeye -- or had one so salty and overcooked. AT this point, our goal was to eat and leave. After paying the tab, my companion asked a nearby person to talk with us. "Are you the manager?" he inquired. "For today, yes" she replied. My companion related our adventure She said she could not adjust the tab since it had been run, but offered us her sympathy and a glass of wine. we accepted both. Suffice to say I've been here before and I loved the food and service. But I guess all good things must end. I will be back in Moline, but not at Johnny's.Thank you for taking the time to write your review. I am disappointed to hear about your recent experience. I noticed you have dined with us before and this is not typical but did happen and I do sincerely apologize. I have shared your review with management and the culinary team to use as training/learning opportunities. I appreciate you letting us know so we have the opportunity to make improvements where needed. I do hope you will be willing to give us another try. If you have any additional feedback please send to [email protected]. Thank you.

The belly burger was cheesy delicious! You can get fries, sweet potato fries, cheese tots, cheese curds, asparagus, and more! The cheese curds are phenomenal! The sâmores milkshake was huge and loaded with marshmallows, graham crackers and chocolate! I would definitely save room for one! Our server was great too!

Stopped here for breakfast based on Tripadvisor reviews. This is a small place, not many tables at all but they do turn them over quickly. Biscuits and gravy was very good.My wife had an omelet and she said it was ok, nothing special..Bacon was burnt to a crisp, which some people like but I do not.Service was fast and friendly.We would probably eat here again as long as the wait was not very long, I would not wait 20 minutes to dine here, it just was not that great to warrant that long of a wait.

Visiting the casino for a show. Got there early and thought we'd have a cocktail at Ruthie's. Hostess asked if we had a reservation and, no we didn't. We had already eaten at an amazing restaurant elsewhere! The bartender overhears our conversation and says over the wall 'reservations only'. Way to go Ruthie's'... because your reviews don't already stink!!! Glad we ate elsewhere! BTW, one star only because zero wasn't an available option.
