★★★★★ 5.0 Pixgeek Droneography (Pixgeek) · Jan 2026

Cudos to the owners!! Wow! I loved everything about this place! The atmosphere and the staff was amazing. The food is outstanding !! The quality of the food is what I noticed the most! Even options for vegetarian and they had good variety of fruit too (rare to find) The servings was enough for two people or take home. We have been wanting to go for years since they opened but always found them super busy when we could go. We had up to a 10 wait today, so the kitchen could get caught up, but it was worth it. The staff was friendly and very helpful with questions. It was really way more $$ for us as we normally spend less than 35$ for breakfast items. We spent 60$ not including tip. We did buy a cinnamon roll too. The homemade gravy and homemade jam was the best! I hope you sell small ja

Great place in downtown Rock Island, IL that we found for a hearty breakfast while visiting the quad cities. The servings are generous and the prices are very reasonable. The staff was attentive and took good care of us. Was a busy day but they were able to seat us immediate. Wish we had enough room to try their cinnamon rolls. Highly recommend this place for breakfast.

My Dad brought us here to celebrate his new job 🎉 I had not ever been there before but my parents both said it was great. My goodness were they right! I got the Country Fried Steak Skillet and the more I ate, the more I would find. Cheese, and lots of bacon in that? Oh my! Now your speaking my language! It was just so delicious! The pancakes have got to be the best I ever had here too. I cant wait to go there again! I think this is my new go-to breakfast place 😋 Yummo!

I had an amazing experience at QC Pancake House in Rock Island ilana helped me so much—she was patient, kind, and really took her time to guide me through the menu. She recommended the cinnamon pancakes and WOW… they completely blew my mind. Soft, warm, perfectly flavored… honestly one of the best pancakes I’ve ever had. Thank you,Ilana, for making my visit unforgettable. I’ll definitely be coming back!

QC must also mean Quality Control cause the food here was delectable. Waking up in the Quad Cities with no game plan and an empty stomach is what lead us to this fine destination. I was tasked with finding a place close to our hotel and this one sounded like what both Emily and I were craving. We got there a bit before 9am and were greeted with a 30-40 minute wait time. Since there probably would’ve been a wait time anywhere else, we gave them our name, number and headed back to the car to chill. Not even 15 minutes later, we got the call to come in and have some breakfast. Since we had time to kill in the car, we planned out our orders before we went back in so we were able to order right away. Emily got the Western Skillet and I got the Western Omelet. For how busy it was, the food too
