Rock Island Restaurants

Rock Island is a prosperous river city with historic homes that sit side by side with new developments. The diverse dining options also reflect the city's combination of traditional and contemporary. For an upscale dinner, a steakhouse is always a good bet. Enjoy risotto and filet mignon with a view of the mighty Mississippi. Traditional Italian cuisine is another local favorite with lasagna bricks and Chicago-style pizza being popular choices. For a laid-back lunch, enjoy a Midwestern take on barbecue ribs. The area's chefs have embraced the farm-to-table trend with many family-friendly bistros offering locally sourced American classics such as grilled cheese and meatloaf.
