Hey Google, What Are the Best Restaurants in the QC?

Based on your search, the QC is filled with plenty of dining options. But while in the Quad Cities, do as Quad Citizens do. Try a few of our locally-owned establishments and taste for yourself.

Of course, you’ll find plenty of Midwestern-style Cuisines, but our growing population means a taste of ethnic cuisine too. Explore global flavors like Thai, Vietnamese, Chinese, Japanese, German, Indian, Ethiopian, and Mexican at family-owned restaurants that create original culinary experiences and tastes. You’ll also find fresh ingredients for vegetarian and vegan options.

If you're looking for an upscale spot, try Steventon's, Fifth Avenue Syndicate, Duck City Bistro, or The Half Nelson, to name a few.

When breakfast or brunch is on the menu, the QC Coffee and Pancake House and Jimmy's Pancake House will fill your belly. Plus, we can’t get enough of Café d'Marie’s delicious quiche — they’re sure to start your day off right.

The Quad Cities claim to fame is the Quad Cities-style Pizza with its hand-tossed malt crusts, crumbly sausage with fennel, toppings hiding under a layer of mozzarella cheese, and scissor-cut into strips. Check out long-time establishments like Harris, Frank's, Clint's, and Gunchie's to get your fix.

Another QC namesake is Happy Joes. For over 40 years they have been serving up a variety of pizzas including their famous Taco Pizza.
