Explore The Village of Rapids City
The small Village of Rapids City is sandwiched between Hampton and Port Byron on the Illinois side of the Mississippi River. Follow the paved Great River Trail along the riverfront, use the boat ramps, or enjoy a meal at one of the three locally-owned restaurants.
It’s Taco Wednesday at The Edge Eatery & Drinkatorium. It’s a great destination for a bicycle or motorcycle ride along the river. Great breakfasts, lunch, and dinner can be found at The Brothers Restaurant. Specializing in homestyle cooking, you’ll love their fried chicken. Great food and drinks can also be found at Gilanellas, an Italian restaurant serving up a fantastic Margarita pizza.
