This is one of my favorite restaurants in this area! Linen tablecloths and napkins surrounded with good local framed art. This has the good food and menu selection of what you would expect of a top notch supper clubs. The guests are served by waiters/waitresses that are incredibly polite and timely. They know their stuff! It is busy so call ahead on weekends. Great place for special occasions. Cakes or desert is elegantly served with sparklers and singing.

Like all DQ restaurants, the ice cream is excellent, but wow, every single table at this location was totally filthy!! After walking through the whole place and seeing every unoccupied table or booth was littered with crumbs, we walked out and ate in the car. Gross! No excuse for this.

Sweet Peas Grill & Bar in Geneseo, Illinois creates fresh, flavorful dishes with you in mind! We are conveniently located just off Interstate 80 (about 19 miles east of the Quad Cities). We are a great choice for those traveling on Interstate 80 as well as being a great place to meet family and friends for some Sweet Peas hospitality. Local favorites include our boneless chicken tenders, Jalapeno Popper Chicken sandwich (buzz worthy), our smoked meats, beef brisket, pulled pork, and barbecue ribs. We also offer fresh salads, steaks, grilled salmon and more. Our waffle fries are a fan favorite! We have a full service bar with its own hours and space for entertaining. Seasonally we have an outdoor patio to enjoy some fresh air.

This restaurant was recommended to us by the person checking us in at the Best Western next door and they were right. I had one of their salads with their chicken tenders, it was huge and delicious. I also had to try their gumbo so I got a cup and while it was really good it was a bit too salty for me. My husband ordered one of their house specialties, the chicken jalapeño popper sand which and said it was really good too. Highly recommend.

We stopped here for lunch and decided to start with the "Nacho Tot-Chos". The serving was huge and they were delicious! We also ordered some Mahi Tacos not realizing that the appetizer alone would have been plenty for lunch. The tacos were good and might have been tastier if we had ordered the Mahi fried rather than grilled. The service was excellent and we'll definitely be back.

Very good pizza and awesome Danny dough. Lots of young staff members that work there tails off. When order is placed on a carry out they are on time.

If you've never had a Culver's butter bun burger - take a few moments to indulge your taste buds.
The only complaint that could be raised is the lack of restroom facilities. The place is exceedingly busy, and there are far few available relief options on their restroom menu. Had to head across the lot to Subway to satisfy nature's call.
7. Raelyn's Pub & Eatery

We love Raelyn's but their food is really become average bar food - which is fine if that's what you are going after. The service is always good. They have the system where all the waitresses walking by check on you. Their draft beer selection is pretty good and they have a full selection of bottled beers.
We had the Hawaiian chicken sandwich and the grilled pork tenderloin sandwich (very good) and chicken strips for starters. They were greasy.
While we were there we ran into many friends which is always fun.

Their breakfast food is fresh and tasty. The service is always fast. Not a fancy place. But neither are their prices. The lunch menu is great. Big burgers with all kinds of offerings. Their Greek salad is my favorite. The BLT is great on the Texas toast.

Fun place to go to try some craft beers. Also serve mixed drinks and wine. The food menu is limited to flatbreads, salads,sandwiches and appetizers but all are good. Nice decor and music on Friday and Saturday nights.
