Had been excited to eat here and was really disappointed. Our server had too fast a pace and it felt like he was ready to be done with us as quick as we had been seated. The cheese curds were oil soaked and not fried properly. Most had no or little cheese in them again from improper frying. The crab dip was powerful fishy and the toast rounds were butter soaked... again more grease. My chicken dumpling soup was luke warm and any food served, especially a cream soup, cant be safely served not piping hot. The sourdough grilled toast with it was... again soaked in butter and thus inedible. Husband's chili was off tasting and again not piping hot. His sourdough was also swimming in butter. Super disappointing and won't bother to return again. read more

A staple in downtown Davenport, I finally had a chance to visit Me & Billy with a friend on my most recent visit to the city. While the meal itself was solid, the service experience left a little to be desired. To make a long story short, the hostess was not very friendly and there appeared to be a miscommunication in what level of service to expect when sitting at the bar. We were told we could order dinner there as well, but struggled for quite a while to get a menu or meal order in. It wasn't the end of the world, but it was uncomfy as I eventually had to return to the hostess and ask for a menu and help getting our order placed. Ordering simply wasn't a smooth experience - perhaps this would've been different had we been seated at a table, but again, we were told the bar was full-service. I fully acknowledge this could've been an off night and not the typical experience, but it was a little awkward. Otherwise, the meal was super solid. I ordered a mocktail (highly recommend, I love a good mocktail menu!), shared an appetizer, and opted for a burger as my entree, and everything was delicious. I would definitely visit again to try more of the menu. read more

Stopped in for lunch. Nice spot in downtown Davenport. They have great burgers, salads, grilled cheese. I had the Billy burger cooked as ordered it has an over easy egg on top & American cheese big burger 2 in our party had the grilled cheese with a tomato basil dipping sauce, they were huge portions We had the ahi tuna appetizer which was also large portion. Our waitress was quick & checked on us & refilled drinks. The only down side for me were the fries, they were overdone & a bit soggy, but I would definitely go back. Also got to meet Billy, he checked to make sure everything was good, very nice & I appreciated him coming to our table. You rarely get that in restaurants anymore. Will go back again soon. Had fried cheese curds with garlic aoeli, very yummy read more

Reaffirming my 4 star review from a few years ago. My wife and I stopped in on a Saturday night and after a short wait in their 'side waiting room', we were seated at a table. The vibe is very lively, with high ceilings and floor to wall windows, but it's an upbeat and energetic environment. I got a Turkey Burger and my wife got a Bison Burger. Both were excellent. I got the side of cooked jalapenos, and they were nicely spicy and a very generous serving for a very meager 70 cents. The fries were a blast of skin-on potato with a soft, starchy consistency and flavor. They reminded us of the homemade ones we used to make many years ago. Our server was very pleasant, but the bar was a bit slow getting drinks out, and the servers seemed to be very busy, so we did have to wait a few minutes longer than might have been ideal. All in all, a very good experience still, and they appear to be a real staple in Downtown Davenport given how long they've been here and how crowded they are. Definitely recommended. read more

We usually love this place. We went before a concert last week. My husband got a grilled tenderloin that was very small and very dry. He said all he could taste was the condiments and the very dense pretzel bun that overpowered the meat. I had very good curry chicken soup that I liked. Our waitress was friendly and did a great job. My sister and Neice got that huge grilled cheese to share, garlic green beans and fries. The grilled cheese and beans they liked. All the fries were a little too brown . We will always come back as we like the atmosphere, but my husband won't get the tenderloin again. I wish there were better Salad offerings and gluten free ANYTHING! read more

This was such an amazing place, the drinks, food and staff were all great! My husband and I stop in for a quick bite before he spoke at the local college. We went back after the speech because we were so impressed. Stop by this pace if you are in Davenport read more

Food tasted good. A little pricey for what you get. The French fries were a little on the salty side and the fries were not crispy. No options for something other than fries unless you pay an extra $2.00. Took a while to get our food. We moved tables because of how cold the air conditioning was, didn't appreciate the comment of the server on how the air conditioning blows everywhere. The second table at least didn't have the air blowing directly on you. The ambiance of the restaurant was very noisy for us. Decor of the restaurant was up to date. read more

I have eaten at Me and Billy's numerous times over the years. The food is consistently excellent, prices very reasonable, service excellent, and the owner very friendly. It is my favorite place to eat in the Quad Cities. read more

First time to Davenport and Me & Billy was recommended as a chill place with great atmosphere and food. It 100% delivered - great vibe with a blend of an old bar with updated dining. Staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and bartender made the best martinis I've had in awhile. Billy stopped in, said hello to everyone, and welcomed me on my first visit. Made me feel like a local just live all the other patrons. Jambalaya was recommended and it was great. Packed with flavor, just the right amount of spice, and perfectly cooked. Guaranteed stop on my next visit to Davenport, I could have hung out here all night. read more

Just had soup and salad for lunch. The pear salad was delicious and so was the dumpling soup. My husband had Caesar salad with the tortilla soup and he was very happy as well. Lots of office bees there for lunch as well so a little noisy, but food was well worth it. Greeted cheerfully which started the experience off in right foot. Our waiter was excellent, noticing when our beverages were low. Carafe of ice cold water added as soon as sat down. Definitely on our return to list. read more

A casual classy joint in downtown Davenport. My wife and I stopped in for spell on our way to a concert that was 2 blocks away. Me & Billy came highly recommended from two locals earlier in the day, so away we went. I started with an Apple Harvest Margarita; a delicious concoction for $10 and then ordered the DLUX Darn Big Grilled Cheese Sandwich for $14. Sourdough bread with muenster and cheddar, whiskey glazed onions, bacon onion marmalade, spinach, and tomato with cups of tomato basil and buttermilk ranch for dipping along with a healthy size side of fries. The size of the sandwich was definitely DLUX and Darn Big; it was at least the size of two normal sandwiches in length. Filling, unique and reorder worthy. Darn big and darn tasty. My wife was still full from our earlier lunch in Dubuque so she went straight to dessert with the Stacked Chocolate Cake. A huge chunk of cake and just like the sandwich could easily serve two people. Decadently delicious and plated beautifully. Our server (Ithink his name was Cody) was charming, knowledgeable and professional. Highly recommend. read more

I'm in town for business and this was within walking distance from my hotel. When I walked in I was greeted by Billy himself. He's welcoming and accommodating as I had asked for a table in the corner so I could do work over lunch. When I looked around the burgers seem to be a lunchtime favorite but for me, why eat a burger when I can get that almost anywhere? My waitress shared her favorite sandwiches with me and I opted for the steak sandwich that comes with fries but subbed garlic green beans. The steak was cooked perfect. The bread is toasted and slathered with aioli, sweet tomato jam and topped with peppery arugula. The garlic green beans were an unexpected surprise. I could've eaten a bowl full! Buttery and garlicky with still a slight firmness in the green beans. Lastly I had a taste of the Brussels Sprouts. I prefer my sprouts pan fried and crispy. These sprouts had tons of flavor (dare I say teriyaki like?) but not crispy. I would come back for dinner and try their after 4pm menu. I was eyeing the shrimp and grits. read more

We stopped by for a late dinner on a Friday night when we were driving through Davenport on a road trip. Me & Billy features lively vibes, high ceilings and a cute and modern decor. Our service was friendly and relatively quick for a busy weekend night. We ordered the warm kale & bacon salad with salmon and the Franny burger with fries, both were very good. The fries were not super crispy or flavorful, so I would recommend ordering a different side. Worth a visit if you are in the area! read more

Ate lunch here recently while visiting my son at school. I was pleasantly surprised to find such a nice clean friendly place with great food. The server I got was a little distant, but the host was great and suggested several items. I got a steak sandwich and it was pretty good. There cheese curds for awesome. My wife had the pork loin sandwich and loved it. I was able to get a taste, and it was definitely the best pork tenderloin sandwich I've ever had bar none. My son had one of the hamburgers and he really enjoyed it. I can't wait to visit him and visit this restaurant again. read more

Our server, Richard, was attentive, helpful, and kind. Our food was phenomenal. I ordered the Industry Pork Chop and my husband ordered the grilled cheese. The portions were huge. We also ordered cocktails that were equally as delicious. We were stopping through Davenport for one night and will stop here again if our travels allow in the future. read more

Great atmosphere in downtown Davenport. Cocktails are well made and priced pretty reasonably.

Beautiful place, great service and food! We hosted a Bridal shower and they were beyond helpful as we live out of state! Mary was fantastic with follow up and suggestions, really could not have asked for a better experience. Highly recommended! read more

Overall a very good experience but as we all know there can always be a bit of a room for improvement- I ordered the bison burger & my boyfriend ordered the Franny. We both ordered medium but came out well-done so it was just a tad dryer than expected. The Franny came with a side of cheese sauce which was exceptional- so much so we ordered an extra side to go with the leftover fries. Will be back. read more

A nice little gem near the Blackhawk for an easy walk even in the teens and snowing. The host and waitress(Brittany) were quite welcoming. Service was great and the food was fantastic. I never thought I'd eat a great Caesar salad in Davenport, IA, but I did. Even had the subtle anchovy taste in the dressing. Well done! The pommes frites were also quite tasty! They also have a solid old fashion here, too. Finally, love the decor and atmosphere. I want those chairs for my house :) Will definitely be back on my next trip. read more

This is the best burger I've had in a long time! I had the Billy Burger. It's a burger with American cheese, onion and an over easy egg. Excellent! The beef patty was tremendous. Bun was fresh. The garlic aioli pulled it all together. Seriously tasty. The fries are hand cut. They are good. I should have asked if they had dipping sauces, but I just stuck with ketchup. My wife built her own sandwich. She did chicken, bacon and avocado on a brioche bun. It was really good too. (I had a few bites.) She got Mac and cheese as her side. If you like Mac and cheese, their's is great! Very creamy, even as it cools. That's a hallmark of great Mac and cheese in my opinion. Service was excellent. He was attentive despite being very busy. The place has sort of an understated modern look. It is classy, but stops short of being too formal. Good for families or dates. All in all, I loved it. We're only in town a few days, but I'd like to eat there several times if possible! read more

I have always loved Me and Billy's the owners are great! The ambiance is amazing! The food has declined a bit I had a burger it was the size of my nieces kid burger for double the price. The fries are not regular size they are like burnt ends. The waiter was disappointing (Zach) was rude, grabbed our checks reaching his arm while we were still at the table. Put gratuity for 7 people probably because he knew he was terrible. He would've gotten more if he was decent. Do not recommend him. read more

Had the Bison burger with a side house salad. Very delicious. Rachel rocks the house.

Lunch time with the classic salad! 2 burgers, 1 build and 1 bison! The salad was so huge. I wasn't sure I could finish it even though it was like a side salad. The burgers are mouthwatering! The place was decorated to the nines with the Christmas displays. Clean restrooms and I mean clean! The waitress was a go-getter and brought the extra refills! 10 stars if I could! read more

Goodness is all I can say about Billy's . The good is awesome the service is awesome and being greeted by Billy is Awesome

I read all the bad reviews to see if anyone had experienced what I had at Me and Billy. To my surprise they many of them had the same complaint, the older lady hostess/ owner. She was very snobby and rude to me and my family. We were a party of 11 people told it would be about an hour wait. Of course we understood and waited. About 30 minutes into our wait we decided to check in with the hostess for an update. She rudely replied, "I already told the other lady it would be an hour". I explained that I just wanted an update on our wait. She said the wait depended on when more people left. (Keep in mind there were about three open tables). She then said in a condescending tone, "The wait could be between 10minutes to an hour". I mean what a joke! We decided to go else where after experiencing her ugly attitude. read more

Our waiter Zach had zero personality and didn't know how to take an order. He rarely checked on our table. Messed up the drinks more than once. My medium rare steak was cooked well and had all the juiced cooked out of its. I ordered the mushrooms with it. They didn't get on the plate but was still charged. The cheese curds were tasty but greasy. Ambiance was fine. read more

My husband and I went here to grab a quick lunch. The inside is so cute! They have lots of seating, and they also have a small room to the left, which was hosting a shower at the time. Our server was very kind and attentive. I enjoyed a very large grilled cheese sandwich. My husband had a burger with yummy cheese curds in it. I also started with a side Caesar salad and I substituted the dressing for blue cheese since I'm a vegetarian. Overall the food was great the staff was nice, I highly recommend. read more

I posted about 2 years ago how I loved the atmosphere of this bar. Unfortunately, I had to rewrite my experience from a couple weeks ago when me and my friends went out for her birthday to grab a couple drinks at this restaurant. Right off the bat, the owner (old lady) (as the hostess) taking down names, asked with an entitled attitude "how many people", I said maybe 5-6 and she seemed annoyed I wasn't sure if the last person was coming or not. Finally, wrote down our name. My friends came, and we got a table. We talked, had fun, and had a couple drinks. Everything was fine. As we were leaving out the door, that same old lady, with such rude intentions, said to all of us out loud among the words of: "Next time we are not sitting you at a table just for drinks" First of all, how are we suppose to know that? Second of all, isn't it YOUR job as the hostess to ask if we're DINING in? I have never was given such bad vibes from a restaurant before, until then. It was given Treehouse Pub & Eatery owner vibes. (If you know, you know) I don't know if it's because we're young, she could speak to us in such a way. Or because she is very entitled. Bartender and waitress were extremely excellent! Old lady needs proper training. Future customers: Please please please be aware of her. read more

It was okay. Nothing special except perhaps the young lady tending bar. She was very prompt and pleasant. I had a buffalo (Bison) burger which was good.
