I've been to Front Street a few times now and overall I've had a pretty good experience. The…read moreservice has been good most of the time, especially when it's not super busy. There have been a couple times where it felt a little slower, but nothing too bad. The food is definitely the best part though. My favorite thing there is the pork nachos, they're honestly really good and I would go back just for those. The portion is big and the flavor is really good, so it's easy to share but also hard not to eat all of it. Overall I'd say it's a solid place to go, especially if you're looking for something casual with good food. I'd definitely come back again.

Bottom Line: Good food, good service, good value!…read more Stopped in for a very late lunch pre after-work/evening crowd. Super inviting feel, lots of warm tones in this contemporary but old-town, Americana-feeling pub overlooking the Mississippi. Server prompt, easy going and efficient. Very good American pub-fare selection. My pork tenderloin sandwich from the pub-fare side of the menu, with Fries, beautifully done, and with creamy coleslaw side, was needed comfort on a plate. I relished and just enjoyed the whole vibe for a while. The adult beverage selection is more than ample. All in all a definite return-to spot!

We wanted to grab a bite before heading back to Chicago & ended up waiting 2 hours for an order of boneless chicken wings. I truly couldn't wait another second so we just got up and left. An afternoon wasted. We had a fairly large group & were given a heads up that it would be close to an hour, but there were never updates given on the food, asking for refills, our waitress saying, "Sorry I drastically underestimated the time," etc. If we knew it would've been 2hours, we would've gone somewhere else. I'm hoping they can turn this ship around & not just rely on college kids to keep them in business.

This company supports the celebration of an innocent person being assassinated. Their employee Arizona Hildebrant has dozens of posts about Charlie Kirk deserving to die and wishing the same on his wife and children. She openly brags about her employer fully agreeing with her and that she can say whatever she wants without repercussion. I find this behavior disgusting and will not support any business that backs this person. read more

Located directly across the street from the downtown Rock Island Holiday Inn, it's a easy stumble to the front desk and so much cheaper and authentic than the hotel bar. My first visit was late afternoon for a beverage after arriving in town. The bartender Tammy and owner Jeff were awesome with making me feel welcome and giving advice for dinner and attractions. My second visit was later that evening after Ubering back from across the river from a concert. A different bartender, but equally as talented in customer service skills ( I wish I could remember her name). A packed house with a mix of locals and people staying at the hotel - which mainly caters to traveling workers for the railroad. A perfectly cluttered and dingy dive bar that's been around many decades with prices that can't be beat. I would most definitely be a regular if I lived there.

The neighborhood is industrial/working-class and feels a little creepy after dark (to a woman alone, at least.) Definitely a place for locals, but welcoming to others visiting from out of town. Food is average pub fare. My fried fish was overcooked and thus mushy on the inside. But the tater tots and slaw were just fine. Everything else about the place feels homey and welcoming. Many screens with different programming and closed captions. I especially appreciated the Cubs highlights channel. Good selection of craft beers on tap. I loved the shandy. Great selection of piped in music that included both contemporary popular music and classic rock from the 70s. And it wasn't too loud. It was just right. This place was a real haven late on a Sunday evening when I couldn't find any place else except fast food to eat.

The bartender was our server and did a good job. You can order from the Happy Joes/Rudy's that is next door, or you can order off their bar menu of sandwiches, etc. I think the only difference is how you order - if it's off the bar menu the server takes the order, otherwise you call over to the neighboring restaurant and they deliver it. Two of us got cheeseburgers...they were pretty good-a nice soft bun and a good burger. Fries were OK. The other in our party got the chicken fingers. They were fine, with very nice tender chicken, and an OK coating. Our server was attentive and very pleasant.

Has some basic bar food full of grease and who knows what else. This seems good enough for the locals, but of course they have limited options. A pretty basic looking bar. It was pretty quiet inside. This was a place we stopped waiting for another place to open. It's about $4 for a basic cocktail. The food menu is limited. Mostly greasy stuff with the most popular option being the burgers. Those not minding the grease would probably find that the best thing to eat here. Good if only looking for a cheap drink. It also has basic bar food.

And the bartenders are downright kind. I remember an ooolllldd man at the bar, falling down drunk, and he was going to drive home. Oh hell no. Patrick, a bartender, asked me to follow as he drove the old man home in the man's truck, parked it, and helped the man walk into the lobby of his apt complex - the highrise. I did, and Pat and I drove back. Then, there's The Whiz. I was there on a Sunday afternoon, reading the paper and having a drink, and an autistic man walked in. I remember the men at the bar yelling 'it's The Whiz! Come here! We'll buy you a drink!' I thought oh hell no. I will not let them get him drunk. I watched, one man ordered a round 'for the boys' and winked at the bartender. She nodded. The 'boys' got rum and cokes, The Whiz got a plain coke. It was awesome. Then The Whiz ordered a round for his friends and slid her a quarter. She got their round, and when The Whiz wasn't looking, a man slid her a $20. Listening to their convo, I found out he was The Whiz because he was what's called an 'idiot savant' like Rainman. But he knew sports. If you asked him who the quartback was for XYZ team at the 1964 Superbowl he'd just rattle it off. The 1st baseman on XYZ baseball team in the 1942 World Series. He knew. Sadly, The Whiz died last year. 2000 people were there for his funeral. We loved him. And that's Leamens.
