    Delicious. That's what I'll say. Friendly staff. Fun eclectic decor. Delicious food. I loved seeing the retro dinner wear, it brought back many memories.

    Blueberry pancake

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Brunch Burger

    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.

    Chicken & Biscuits
    Tom T.

    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.

    The first thing you notice when coming up stairs is the friendly atmosphere. Staff is laughing and calling out to each other while engaging the customers. The food is great with hearty portions.

    Mad Meat Biscuits and gravy.

    Simply delicious. Awesome service and great food . Glad we tried it and we will be back for sure. Definitely a hidden gem in the Freight House complex.

    Cluck Norris Skillet
    Emmanuel C.

    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.

    Great Soul food in the area. The cornbread that came with the platter was absolutely delicious and…read moreso moist. So often cornbread is dry but this was definitely not the case. The mac & cheese was also outstanding and it would match up with anything that I've ever ordered before. That is saying something because I have eaten a lot of Mac N Cheese! I did enjoy the red beans and rice because it is not a dish I get to eat often as it usually has pork in it but they had a non-pork variety and the owner threw in a sample for me! His version was not so much gravy but slightly more brothy and Very tasty and I really enjoyed the seasoning! We also ordered a small seafood gumbo and it also was tasty although I wish it had a bit more seafood but I understand that's an expensive product today. The wings were delicious while the fried fish was solid but not spectacular. The shrimp was cooked perfectly. We had ordered a lot of food because we wanted to taste a lot and we were not disappointed! It was definitely a bit on the pricier side but as a whole it was definitely a good choice to come to Pee Wee's! I dId want to add that the owner was incredibly generous, kind and talked to us extensively. It was really a nice touch particularly when he found out it was our first time coming. I love small businesses like this it was nice to be able to support their good work!!

    My wife had the chicken. She really enjoyed it. I had gumbo and collard greens. The gumbo was…read moreaverage but the collard greens were outstanding. Positives- Chicken and Collard Greens. Negatives-The lady that took our order either didn't hear us or didn't care. She didn't even take my wife's order and got mine wrong. On the positive side the cook came over and coached her.
