Riverside Grille - Bettendorf

The food was okay, not great. The black bean burger was tasty. The brioche bun was too big for the burger. The chicken enchilada soup didn't have very much chicken in it. The brisket potato skins were okay. They could have had more flavor.

Great burger but the wait staff was totally confused. Sat at the bar. No order that came out to the bar was known where to go. Waitresses not sure of who was doing what. Here about 45 minutes. At least 6 to 8 orders were prepared wrong or the bar tenders put it in wrong. Staff at the waitress station constantly unsure of next moves, orders, who had what table, etc.

First if you offer grilled chicken wings they shouldn't be deep fried. Both types of beer we had were unusually flat and the server spilled one on a purse and my leg and walked away like it never happened.(atleast acknowledge it and help clean it up) Pizza was barely eatable the chicken sliders were not able to be chewed, the chicken sandwich was rubbery and the chicken wrap had to be unrold to find the chicken stuffed in the fold of the wrap at the bottom. I hate giving a bad review but this was a waist of money. I do understand there are shortages on supplies but I would upgraded the quality and or storage of your food if possible especially the pizza. We love the location but it was not a good experience.

I really like the place. However in the middle of a metroplex that has 18 craft breweries, one would hope that they would have other dark beer options than Guinness. If they did, the waitress was unaware of any and the beer list has zero descriptions.

Server was good and organized. We had a party of 8 and she did a good job with the separate checks. I 'm in the business so I could easily recognize that. I ordered the French dip. Take it off the menu if you 're not going to make it great. Beef quality was very poor and I could barely find the cheese. It should be melty visible. It was almost nonexistent. It tasted ok but I 'm willing to pay for something MEATY and Cheesy. I don 't like to be too critical because I know it 's a tough business but put some good quality meat on that sandwich and some visible cheese on it and I 'll give it another chance. Good friendly atmosphere. My girlfriend 's fish and fries was also very average. Best of luck to you.
