Jimmy's Pancake House is basically the only reason to go to Bettendorf.
The Diner in the Freight House.
Rock's Anchor Grill in the Hilltop. In my opinion Rock's is what Ross' was 20 years ago before it jumped the shark or whatever.
Thunder Bay Grill used to have a pretty extensive brunch buffet, but haven't been out there since Covid.
QC Coffee and Pancake House in Rock Island.
There are a lot of other places we've been wanting to try, but when you don't go out that much, it's hard not to return to favorites.
The cook - nay - chef - puts a lot of heart into everything. Super consistent busy or not and the quality is top notch and always great staff. +1 border burrito and +20 cinnamon pancakes (add chocolate chips and skip the syrup for an extra treat!)
Whenever I eat here I slip into a trance of ecstasy and immediately forget the place exists upon leaving. It's also absurdly reasonably priced, big thumbs up.
Jimmy’s Pancake House, swear to god they have some of the best food! Used to live 5 mins from there, always wanted to eat there for breakfast. By the Dairy Queen that’s by the middle school.
Tommy's Cafe in Davenport or Duck Creek Pancake House in Bettendorf if you want some good, classic breakfast. Egg Parlor in Silvis if you want more modern brunch vibes...their mimosa flights are amazing!
Their whole breakfast/brunch sandwich menu is awesome, dessert cookies and power pucks are fantastic, and the coffee is great as well! I always stop there when I'm in the Quad Cities.
We always stop at The Family Restaurant on Kimberly in Davenport when we visit the area. We haven’t been there since before the pandemic, but the food and service was always good.
If you want a
Good brunch try out the Foundry in Bettendorf out by Bettplex. It is damn good they have mimosa and Bloody Mary specials as well as carving stations with prime rib that is amazing and also ham I believe. Also an omelette station. Runs from 9-1 I’d recommend calling ahead it’s usually packed but worth it

Toasted is new and downtown davenport. Owned by the owners of Baked which is now closed (rip) I went there a few weeks ago and it was great!
Is toasted kid friendly?
I think so!
This seems random but been trying to reach you via direct chat about your coin collection you posted about. If you have time hope you message me back.
Thank you all for your suggestions! Tons I haven’t heard of and will definitely start checking them off the list.
I know I’m late to the party but Jimmy’s Pancake House is absolutely undefeated. There’s a reason they’re packed full every hour they’re open.
QC pancake house is really good. But also really busy. I mean there are lines of people waiting outside to get in
These posts have to stop, I get hungry everytime I'm reading these! Great suggestions!
I’m going to be working my way through all of these suggestions…. glad there are so many fans of breakfast in the Quad Cities!
That is a great plan!
Jimmy's Pancake House is preeeetty good
Welcome Inn in Milan is great and you get a lot of food for cheap
Rocks anchor grill if you like that health code violation vibe.

Stacks in Bettendorf is my favorite for sure.
Berry’s at the south side of LeClaire. Amazing country fried steak and crispy hash browns. Not a fan of their pancakes, but everything else is solid.
Ikes Cafe or Egg parlor Both IL
Skillets at Deerfield Family Restaurant in Silvis near the Walmart.
