Always a great time at the Diner! The staff is amazing, very engaging and accommodating. The vibe is very nostalgic and homey/comfy. The music is spot on and you cannot beat the view from balcony area. The food is great. Get the sweet potato tots and veggies sausage with anything, it wont let you down. Also, you can almost guarantee to get a cool mug or cup with every drink. read more

Wow! This place was absolutely amazing! They have a very unique vibe going on in this place and I like it a lot. It's very inviting and also cool in a way that's hard to describe. Everyone was so super friendly and welcoming that I knew I had come to the right place as soon as I walked in. While I was expecting "normal diner food" I was pleasantly surprised by the very unique dishes they had to offer. There were so many great options that it was hard to decide which I would go with. Luckily I chose the chicken n biscuits with spicy sauce added. It was amazing! The combination of all these different flavors turned out to be a perfect dish. Each bite was bittersweet because it was so delicious yet each one meant the meal was coming to an end. Next time I am anywhere near the Quad Cities, I will definitely be back! The only decision will be do I go with the dish I've been dreaming of since I left? Or do I try something/everything else? Either way I can't wait! read more

Amazing service, top notch food, and drinks that go down way too easy! We were in town for a quick get away weekend and now we're already planning our trip back in the summertime. The upbeat resturaunt was already charming, but our server took our visit over the top. She was upbeat, cheerful, hilarious, and so welcoming. Her gave us great ideas of how to spend a local weekend during our next trip. Other servers, and the manager, stopped by for various things- whether it as just to check in about our food, to refill our drinks, and to ask about a substitution needed for a side. It was a great way to end our weekend trip. Please stop in this local diner and spread the love! read more

I'm a breakfast food fanatic, so believe me when I tell you The Diner is a hidden gem in the Quad Cities area!! They were busy on a Saturday morning, but we were still seated quickly and had great service. I ordered the Denver skillet, which came with the option of toast or a pancake. YES, a pancake! I still can't get over what a great idea this is, as I can never choose between sweet and savory breakfast. The Diner, please never change. The skillet was delicious, and my scrambled eggs came out perfect. As you can see from the pictures, the portions are very generous. Best of all, my blueberry pancake was light, fluffy, and totally amazing. It was a little loud indoors, but not overwhelmingly so. I'm already planning a second trip for some pancakes and a mimosa flight. read more

Tara was my server. Fabulous service! I sat at the bar, so I could have a river view. What an interesting place! Wide open space on the 2nd floor. Tvs , hodge podge of seating, but tables arent crowded. Owners say hi and help out. Farm to fork concept. All ingredients are very fresh. Enjoyed the pick 4. French toast, eggs over easy, bacon, biscuits & gravy. Had an excellent bloody mary! Really like it here and will be back! Food was out quickly. Recommend! This is a Mom & Pop place, do patronize them. read more

I wish I could have tried this place, but sadly after an hour and 15 minute wait we had to leave. Reasoning as to why we had to wait so long was due to "the kitchen being backed up". That was the reason given after already 30 minutes of waiting.... Their whole patio and a handful of tables inside were open at this point. Check-in girl was very sweet and I appreciated her professionalism. But if you are from out of town looking for a timely and great place to eat I would not recommend this place. read more

This is average for me. No meal was amazing. It was bacon and eggs. We had a little of everything. Sweet potato tots, sausage, bacon, French toast, and rye bread. Nothing jumped out at me to come back for and we waited 30 minutes. read more

This used to be a great place. My daughter and I went there several months ago and the staff was so loud we could hardly hear each other. Yes, the staff. Fast forward to today. Again I went with my daughters. Staff was again loud and obnoxious. Burger was also very dry. Vegetarian burgers are listed as an available option but when I ordered this the waitress said she never heard of anyone ordering such a thing. A few minutes later she returns to tell me they just sold out of them. Sure they did. Your money is best spent elsewhere. read more

I cannot recommend the Diner enough! My favorite place to bring weekend guests for brunch. I also love to stop here after hitting the farmers market. I love the eclectic decor and vibe along with the sunny patio over looking the Mississippi River. Service is always excellent once you are seated, but expect a wait if you come on a weekend. They do have bar seating so you may be able to squeeze in more quickly with a small party. Now let's talk food! I feel it's hard to find a brunch spot that does both food AND drinks well, this place hits the mark for me. They have the largest list of mimosa flavors I've ever been offered and do flights, along with other both seasonal and year around boozie breakfast beverages. I'll be honest though, it's food that keeps me coming back. I normally opt for a skillet (country fried steak, jalapeño and sweet potato, Denver, whatever I'm in the mood for!) One Sunday however I branched out and opted for the brunch burger - holy cow, amazing decision! A juicy burger, thick bacon, melty cheese, a fried egg, sandwiched between 2 pieces of bourbon glazed French toast plus a side of sweet potato tots. I could only finish half, but it was an absolute show stopper. read more

In from out of town to see friends and they brought us here. Wow! So good. And fun! The place is super eclectic and sweet. The servers are so kind and smiley. I loved it.

I sadly took no pics! Ugh. Next time for sure!!! read more

An eccletic, bohemian diner in a local market. I went for a late breakfast and ordered chicken and biscuits with eggs. The wait service was a little slow in engaging but fast and friendly once we got connected. The food came out quickly. The taste was delicious and the portions just right. $20 with tip was a good value. Overall good experience. I'll be going back and referring others. read more

It was busy due to the Bix. Understandable. We waited 30 minutes to be seated. Understandable. We ordered immediately. We waited 1:20 for our breakfast. The waitress was great and apologetic. The manager was not good. Avoiding the tables that were waiting so long and then AFTER they got their meals she would stop and say "all Is good? Great" and literally run away. No one even had time to respond to her. Other tables were actually making jokes about it. she was terrible at her job. She approached this poorly and if handled correctly it would have been a better experience and we all could have more sympathetic to any dilemmas that occurred. An hour and 1/2 to wait for eggs was crazy. But it was worse that the manager avoided her responsibility. read more

I want this place to succeed, so instead of 3 stars, I'll give four. Great service, good menu, great drinks, average food. Way too loud. Radio was cranked. Good place for groups of friends that like to turn up at a frenzied brunch and have a blast. Just not for me, that's all. Here's the rub: everytime you pay your bill, they ask if you want to "kiss the cook" which means tip the house. Each time that happens, they come out banging pots and pans and remind everyone about the option. The result was us basically getting begged for extra money 3 times during breakfast- because two people at other tables "kissed the cook" and then we got asked to do it. Back off. I found it annoying and uncomfortable. So... four stars, but the are making it 3. read more

The Diner AKA "Mom's" is an amazing place located on the river in Davenport, IA. The staff is super friendly and genuine. Today, I tried the cluck Norris skillet without the eggs and it was amazing. Everything is seasoned and the sauce on the chicken is amazing too. They recently added items to their menu as well so there's plenty to try. They also serve brunch, lunch, mimosas and few other beverages. read more

Came here on a Saturday morning around 10 AM. There was a 10-15 minute wait for 2 people which was to be expected. I liked that they texted you when your table was ready. It allowed us to kill the time at the farmers market right next door. When we got up to the restaurant (on the second floor) I really liked its eclectic design. Our waiter was very friendly/attentive. The food was also great; I've tried a lot of diners in the QC and overall the quality for the price here was one of the best. My only complaint was the wait time. For 2 meals we waited 30-35 minutes for the food to arrive. Sometimes that's understandable, but for the relatively simple dishes we ordered like eggs, toast, hash browns etc. we were a little surprised. Overall it was great, though, and we'll definitely be back! read more

This place is epic! Top breakfast in the QC. No questions asked! The waffle chicken sandwich, bloody Mary's... etc I could not have survived this area without their beautiful breakfast manifestations. They follow Covid safety as well as wear masks. They are very kind to all their patrons.* They welcome all and remember your order! This is hands down... a top.... favorite of mine and so many others in the QC. Added to the top QC List. (Must see) If you have yet to visit, do so. read more

In the QC on business and received a recommendation for The Diner. Simply put, this place is fabulous for a traditional Midwestern breakfast. Everything from basic bacon and eggs, to biscuits and gravy, to chicken and waffles. Big portions, reasonably priced. Staff is friendly, funny, and attentive. And they work together as a team to serve guests. Eclectic furnishings, and every coffee mug is different. Serves Bloody Mary's in Flintstone glasses. Yes, it all seems part thrift shop ... but it works, and it is all clean and professional. And it goes well in the upstairs space at the old freight house on the river in Davenport. read more

Food was good & there was plenty of it. Ambiance is laid back funky & folky. Servers worked together so I was taken care of & the prices were average for breakfast. The addition of Sweet Potato Tots was great for me. read more

Our first time there and we absolutely LOVED IT!!! I got the brunch burger, which was DELICIOUS! My husband got the pulled pork Sandwich, he says he was really good as well. The presentation of the food was superb, and our server TJ did a GREAT job. Great atmosphere, indoor&outdoor seating, just a great vibe. Also, I believe it was the manager she came around to every table to see how they were doing. I love when managers do this, shows they really care. We will definitely be back! read more

Love coming to the Diner. One of our favorite restaurants. Always hard to choose between breakfast and lunch. Both are very good here. Just tried one of their lunch specials today. Fish and chips.

We got there and the waitress was super nice. The service was great. Truly. However, after we ordered our food, we had to wait about 30 minutes to get it. However the food was really good. I personally didn't like the biscuits and gravy but that's just me. Total ended up being around 30 bucks. The pancakes and the bacon and eggs were good though. Overall a mostly good experience. I recommend trying it for yourself but if possible get a skillet. Please try it out though. You won't regret it. read more

Finally decided to see if The Diner matched the hype. My husband and I ordered Blue Plate specials with a variety of foods. Food was okay, but not nearly hot enough. Nothing special really. I could have done the same at home. Friendly staff, cute concept, but probably adding it to the farewell tour of Quad City Restaurants! read more

Never would have found this place if not for Yelp!! They were busy and we had to wait a bit for our food but it was worth it. Plus they gave me a free Bloody Mary for having to wait.
