We saw this place online while we were on our way to the John Deere Pavilion. Is it called the steel plow because of John Deere? Idk. We saw a picture of the milkshakes and decided we HAD to come here. Great looking restaurant, very clean and modern. Our waitress was super nice, always making sure we had what we needed. We started off with an appetizer of cheese curds. They had a combo basket with all 3 flavors; regular, garlic, and jalapeño. Very disappointed, could not tell the difference in flavor between the 3. We asked our waitress if it was a mistake and we didn't get the combo but she unfortunately said no and that people have mentioned that before. I of course got a burger, bison burger, brioche bun, and the toppings I like. I built my own because I just couldn't make up my mind. I loved it, cooked perfectly, juicy, so much flavor. I think it was my first time ever having bison and I enjoyed it. Fries were good. Now here comes the delicious part, we got a chocolate chip cookie sundae to share because we were stuffed, and the price of the milkshakes seemed a little high. It did take a little longer than we hoped to get to our table, but our great waitress kept us updated and apologized for the wait. It was so good, my mouth is watering 30 hours later thinking about it. It was enough for 2 adults and a 21 month old. We will definitely come back when we are in the area. I do think it's a little overpriced. But I really enjoyed dining here and can't wait to come back. read more

Had dinner at Steel Plow in Moline tonight and had a great experience! I was excited to see Yuengling on tap -- definitely a bonus. We shared the family pretzel and I had the Mr. Anderson burger; both were delicious! The burger was a touch overcooked (ordered medium), but still good. We had a big group of 18, and they did a fantastic job accommodating us on the enclosed patio. Good food and great atmosphere if you're staying in the QC area. read more

What a great stop. Stopped here while doing multiple stops in the quad cities area while working Had a Mexican burger medium rare with tots made to perfection My co workers also had burgers that were fantastic Stephanie was our server and she was awesome We sat in the outside screened in area and that was awesome What a nice place. Only one bad thing about this restaurant. As I told Stephanie it's almost 200 miles from my home If it was closer I'd definitely be a regular. I'll definitely stop in on our next drive thru. Thanks guys great visit ! read more

This is a favorite when we have kiddos because of the shakes. So many fun and over the top options to choose from, there is always one someone will enjoy. I usually opt for the build your own burger for a meal as they have lots of meat options (including bison). The Steel Plow Platter is also a great shareable. The space is fairly limited for seating but service is always friendly and attentive. However, it may be difficult to seat a large party. read more

Steel Plow Burger - Seasonal Shake - Burgers Near Me - Moline, Illinois

Are you local? Are you rolling thru the quad cities? Don't walk here because you should run here! This is a great restaurant with great ambiance! This joint is more than just great milk shakes and burgers! This restaurant has a little bit of everything for everyone!!! My wife and I came here for an early dinner before the Matchbox 20 concert at Vibrant Arena! Our waitress Lisa W was a vibe and she was awesome! My wife ordered a build your own burger with ground prime rib, pepper jack, pretzel bun, with pickles and onions. She had a house salad for the side with no tomato and French dressing. I othered the North Atlantic Salmon BLT Sandwich with red potato salad. There is a lot of options for sides. The salmon portion is huge! The bun for the sandwich was soft and quality! Everything was so good! The burger was juicy with great flavor! My salmon was moist,delicate, and melted in my mouth! The lemon aioli I got on the side was good with the salmon. The potato salad was delicious with big chunks of potato! We skipped the milkshakes! We watched other patrons order them and watched in awww!!! Next time we will come for a milkshake. read more

My sons Travel Soccer Team was going to Iowa for a tournament, I am team mom so I was looking for a place that could hold 30+ soccer players, parents & sibilings. This restaurant was so accommodating and they were able to handle everyone in a very professional and quick manner. I would absoutley recommend this restaurant. The food was incredible . read more

Food was good and the services from Colleen was very good. We were seated in the outdoor area and it was a bit cold and noisy.

Been here a number of times. Unique twists on traditional foods. Good service. I like the exposed wood, fireplace and cozy feel.

We did our rehearsal dinner for our wedding at Steel Plow in Moline and it was great! We were trying to go for a more casual laid back since the next day was gonna be all dressed up and lots of go go go! Steel plow had the best setting for what we were going for. They rented out the glassed in patio for our whole party and it was great cause there was plenty of room and we were able to talk with and hear everyone. The food was fantastic. We did the burger bar but there was a slight mixup. When we signed up for it there was supposed to be brats and chicken with it. We chose this for the variety that it had to offer so everyone was accommodated. They only had the burgers set up when we got there but they quickly apologized for the mixup and got the chicken out pretty quickly and I have to say it was really good! Grilled chicken can easily be dry but this wasn't! It was juicy and seasoned to perfection. The burgers were fantastic too! Someone said it was one of the best burgers they'd had. They had a good variety of sides and apps you could choose from. All very good! And a couple people ended up ordering shakes...only one word describes those shakes...Epic! So if you are looking for good food, relaxed setting and a great price for it all, we definitely recommend Steel Plow. We'll be back very soon! read more

Awesome food, service, and atmosphere. Great value! I eat there once a week and have never been disappointed.

Lighting is pretty bright but the service is great, food served hot and Colleen does a great job!!!

The food was DELICIOUS! The macaroni and cheese was the best I've ever had. Lots of family's and kids running about, so it was loud, but that's expected for a Saturday night. Service was fine, nothing to note. read more

Cold food, inattentive server. However we were in and out in less than an hour, so that's a plus.

Visited the Moline site. Shared Poutine with my spouse since we wanted to order on of their "shakes". Poutine was good but probably would not order again. REALLY big serving. Then, ordered the Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Shake - served with two very large chocolate chip cookies dough sandwiches (which we took home since the shake was quite filling). Service was excellent. A must go-to place at least once in your life. read more

Our waitress was great, drinks were good and the food was STELLAR! They were accommodating regarding food allergies. We ordered the Cajun pasta, a bacon cheeseburger and the specialty fries (truffle maybe?). We dug into it so fast we didn't get a chance to take pics. I look forward to being in this area again so I can try more things on the menu! read more

Let me start by saying we have been here at least four times. The atmosphere is good. The waitresses are very friendly, accommodating and responsive. My complaint was the prices for drinks! My son had two beers that were $11.00 each! My daughter in laws drinks we 11 also. Really high for a small bar/ restaurant. Burgers were LOUSY... they were lukewarm, but they were really expensive for preformed meat patties thrown on a flat top. The French fries were nothing special... some were seasoned, some not. I had water and a chop salad... decent salad, but grated cheese out of a bag...bleh... Overall food quality was mediocre at best. Quantity over quality for sure. Sad to see this place get swallowed up by failing quality and high prices. I don't mind paying for good food. read more

It's OK. Service was good. Food was not great. Artichoke dip appetizer was definitely not worth it. Cajun macaroni and cheese had basically non-spiced shrimp and chicken. Not sure why they would do that. The "blackened "chicken definitely was not. Shrimp also had no seasoning. Wife's burger was fine, nothing to stand out. Overall, pretty average at best. Will definitely not go out of my way to eat there again. read more

Best shake ever! the food was great, the service was great and best of all, the shakes are even better then they look!

Steel Plow Burger - Burgers Near Me - Moline, Illinois

Good day to all you readers. I used to love the Steel Plow. It has been awhile since I ate there so we decided to go have dinner there last night. The place looked fantastic. Clean and bright. The staff was among the best I have ever experienced. I thought this is going to be a great meal. The waitress was really good at informing us about the menu and the food. It sounded delicious. I chose one of the specialty burgers thinking that is what they are known for I should indeed have one. The waitress asked each person how would you like that cooked? I thought they must have changed the rules in Illinois. I was indeed mistaken on that assumption. The beautiful brisket hamburgers were cooked until they were dry and tough. I thought they messed up on mine. Well as I looked at the rest of the plates on the table they all were cooked the same, dry and rock hard. I will again steer clear of dining hamburgers in Illinois again for many years. They could have at least plastered the sandwich with flavour and sauce. I wasted $20 and somebody wasted a lot of money making the restaurant look so nice. read more

Well, the things we ordered were not awesome, but, im guessing some things they have are good. We had the pork Mac and cheese (Central Standard is WAY better). Also tried the truffle fries and for the price, they just were not good, sadly, as they sounded amazing on the menu. Waitress was great! read more

We had appetizers, sandwiches, and a shake. Everything was delicious and our service was fantastic. We had to take a lot of food home because the portions are very generous. I had the salmon BLT and I would definitely order this again. It was amazing. The giant pretzel appetizer was also fantastic and I would definitely order it again as well. My husband and son had a build your own burger and they were very satisfied. We sat by the fireplace and enjoyed the warmth. We will definitely be back! read more

Steel Plow Burger - M&M brownie shake! Yum! - Burgers Near Me - Moline, Illinois

Great food, very busy place. Great food and delicious shakes! Great place to go with kids.

Come for the shake. You won't be able to eat a meal and a shake in the same siting unless you're a marathoner. Also share the shake. The birthday cake one literally comes with a slice of cake on the top of it and a ton of candy on the plate it's served on. Nicely presented with a variety of flavors. The milk shake itself is fairly average but the presentation and all the extras makes it impressive. The truffle fries came with a truffle butter on the side. So you have to spread the flavor yourself. They have a nice patio area with the windows that open but since we came when a storm was blowing through they had to quickly shut everything before the tables were all drenched in the deluge. Kudos to the male server who braved the rain and pulled in the outdoor umbrella. Come on a empty stomach and try a shake. read more

Considering burger is in their title I was hoping to love mine, but both times I've visited I've left thinking they were just okay. However, the shakes are really delicious and beautifully made, and their pretzel bites with cheese/honey mustard are seriously some of the best I've tried! read more

This is bar food and a beautiful bar is pretty standard, but what isn't standard is the food and the desserts food was out of this world and the desserts were so big and beautiful.

My boyfriend & I love trying new places. So on this sunday, we decided to take a shot at Steel Plow. It's local for us as well. My first thought is that the waitresses are super friendly. Attentive--for the most part. They seem a bit understaffed but Blakey was doing her thang irregardless. She's so sweet. the menu was so vast that we took a while to make a choice. eventually we came to a common ground on what appetizer to start off with (the mac, there are several different options btw). We were so full by the end of our meal that we didn't get a chance to get a dessert. but we'll be back next time for that outstanding customer service, beautiful desserts & to try a new mac! :) read more

Customer service was horrible, waitresses on their phones laughing in the corner forever before they came over and gave us a table. A waitress came to check on us 1 time. And their food was a joke. My burger came with 4 fries. And almost $9 for a shake that didn't look anything like the picture on the menu and had the cheapest, most stale dollar store brownies and M&M's throw on the plate under the milkshake (this menu item wasn't even supposed to come with m&m's). read more

While spending the week in Moline, IL for a work trip, Steel Plow Burger looked like a good spot to pop in for a working lunch. The restaurant was clean and they were following the recommended Covid-19 guidelines for social distancing and mask wearing. The food was a bit delayed coming out of the kitchen even with a limited amount of guests in the dining room and the attentiveness of our server was definably lacking. In a weakened market where restaurants are doing what they can to survive (in some cases), servers have to be at the top of their game. When your guests feel neglected and not cared about by the employees of your restaurant, they don't come back. read more
