Duck Creek Pancake House - Riverdale

Eat for the first time in this facility. Most of the food was good and it was very clean. All employees wore masks. I ordered the eggs Benedict and it left much to wish. It's pretty far behind Stacks and Machine Shed. The biggest problems were the eggs over boiled, completely solid yokes, and not enough Hollandaise in view of the extra thick ham, which instead of the Canadian bacon. The ham had great taste, but it was just too much. The ash-browns were good. Mostly what you expect from little Diner Hash Browns. I ordered a page of pancakes and cinnamon roll French toast for children. They were both delicious. I would definitely recommend this place and would go back, I would just order something else than the eggs Benedict next time.

We tried about every breakfast joint in the quad cities almost before this place. Best of the best here. Quality of food, service and prices keep us coming back regularly. 5/5.

I have continued an effort to eat out for breakfast around the Quad Cities, especially at all of the places that describe themselves as a Pancake House in part of their name. Duck Creek Pancake House is yet another location that is on one of the possible routes from my home to my place of employment that I 've driven by countless times. This morning, I decided it was time to experience my morning meal at their establishment. Honestly, if not for Google maps, I don 't know that I 'd ever come here except if advised by multiple other people. The building and sign are old once side of the building has what appears to be a long ago addition with beige/brown painted wood siding while the facade facing the street consists primarily of slightly darker color brick. The sign is faded and barely noticeable. Without the larger sign that simply says restaurant on the wood side of the building, I probably wouldn 't have noticed this place at all. The interior fixtures and furniture starkly contrast the exterior appearances. Newer snap together wood panel flooring is present throughout, clean and new tables fill the large space, and the drop ceiling with fluorescent light fixtures appears noticeably clean and new, as well. Between these clean features and the various framed photos of nature and wildlife, the place is clearly a breakfast joint. Since the place was packed this morning and I didn 't want to take up a whole table myself, I opted to sit in the back at the counter near the kitchen. I 've come to enjoy doing this at breakfast places you get to see the guys in the kitchen making food and it 's otherwise a high traffic area with all the servers coming by to pick up food or return dishes. A nice, manageable amount of excitement to my morning, indeed. I opted for what I prefer at so many other breakfast nooks a skillet. This time, I opted for a bacon skillet which contained chopped up pieces of bacon throughout atop the pile of hash browns. I REALLY liked this skillet. The hash browns consisted of a nice mix of crispy and not crispy potatoes, the bacon chunks added further crispy texture, and the cheddar cheese added some additional needed fatty depth to everything, all while providing some additional structure. The scrambled eggs were also on point and tasted great with the sourdough toast. Would definitely get this skillet again. Between the friendly staff, the great food, and the clean wholesome space, I 'm looking forward to coming back here again. It 's worth the trip here to get some breakfast, even if it 's a little out of the way. Thanks Duck Creek Pancake House!

Loved that they serve breakfast all day, pancakes were huge , customer service was good and prices were decent!

Off the beaten path and not just for the locals. The food has all the qualities of that classic small town dinner that your always looking for.
