I went to Valley Monster Pub with my boyfriend on our Quad City trip after we were recommended to…read morego there from a bartender at Parkside Brewing Company nearby. They had a very cool interior, with tap handles lining their walls and all sorts of neat antique items. Their seating options were limited but the table we sat at was very cool because of how it was made and had comics and such incorporated into the top of the tables. They sell beer from breweries but don't make their own, which was fine as they had some food craft beers on tap. Inside the lights were very dim but it added to the whole mood of the pub. The bartender was quiet but proficient at his job. A neat little place to stop and have a drink.

Had some very different drinks offered which some members of our party were impressed with. Service efficient and friendly. Wish some of these beer bars would offer a gf beer.

I will share a story about how special this place really is when I was pregnant with my son I ate here all the time because I just loved it and all the staff would always ask how my pregnancy was and genuinely cared my son and I continued to always come here my son was an extremely picky eater and they would always go out of there way to prepare him something the way he would eat it down to cooking a hot dog in the microwave for 6seconds exactly to making different spaghetti sauce just the way he liked it. This place in my book will never be topped!!!

As you drive by, there is nothing about the exterior that would make you think you should stop,…read moreexcept the parking lot is full! Always a good sign. Upon entering, it is a dimly lit bar with booths and tables around the outside with a very laid back, dive bar feel. We were seated right away in a large booth. The staff was very friendly and share waitress/bartender/hostess duties amongst them so there is always someone willing to help. I had a hamburger pony with no bread and chili. This is a delicious burger patty served with lattice fries on top of it and then smothered in chili and cheese. Think chili cheese fries on top of your burger! It was as good as it sounds. My children had nachos and chicken tenders. They enjoyed them, but regretted not getting cheese burgers. Overall, it was good with my only complaints being that my burger was a little overdone and they don't have coke products.

Seemed unprofessional, rude, and 100% will not be coming back. Unbelievable behavior from a grown woman. Screaming in everyone's face and a very nasty attitude.

Really still hoping that wasn't the owner behaving so belligerently. Yikes.

Our friends got the fish & chips and they loved it. The batter looked very crispy and our fries were on point. Megan served us and she was very friendly and attentive. They've made upgrades to their menu and I think that their food options are getting better each time we return. We've also tried their Som Burger which is tasty and their Birria Tacos -- good but could use a little more seasoning. Overall, we love The Som and highly recommend them!

I ate here twice while in town. I would say what brought me in was the beer selection. But I…read morefound the menu had a pretty good selection and of the 4 BPTs I had on my trip the one from here was the best. Probably the biggest negative for the place is the price of most entrees. I wanted a poke bowl but it was priced like a steak so I passed on it. I did appreciate all of the beers I ordered and liked that they offered smaller pours son could try more. I would come back if in town.

Cool place with an impressive bar and friendly service…read more The Hereford beef burger was good... different from Angus beef. Not necessarily better or worse... just different. A little "heartier" if that makes sense. I washed it down with a tasty Bock, one of the darker/maltier sections of their wide array of beer options. One minor gripe: our party's fries came out a bit on the dark side - nearly burnt. Perhaps the fryer oil was too hot? To be fair, we didn't complain; if we did, I am 100% certain our server would have rectified the issue. All in all, a good place to eat and drink. (I wish I would have had more time to spend beer-drinking here).

Thin crust pizza was the standout, crispy with cheese stretching as you pull out the slices. Tried the Cuban, three cheese and the chicken salad paninis. My husband enjoyed the flavor of the chicken salad with grapes in it the most. Only dud was the sloppy joe which didn't have enough flavor/sauce. Would recommend as a lunch stop if you are passing through!

Music blasted making conversation non existent. Service was lackluster. If you were not a regular, you basically did not exist. Margarita was a minus ten, and that is being kind. I give kudos for the games on the side room.....nice touch but nothing else makes you want to stay to play the games. Needs some guidance and hands on ownership to run this place around as I see potential.

We waited a while for menus and when I asked the waiter how long the merlot had been open, he said "a couple weeks", with a shrug. I was certain that I would not be drinking there and probably no food either. I asked if he would be willing to open a new bottle and his response was direct and to the point, which I appreciated. Nope, he wouldn't and since it was Sutter Home, how good would it be anyway? We were welcome to go somewhere else. We did! Went to the Fort Diner and had a great! Cheap! Cajun! Burger! Great service, lots of friendly personality at the grill and I'll go back again! Any day! Thank you for the meal!
