Lemongrass Café – Moline Illinois

After a day visiting some of the John Deere attractions around the area including the harvester works factory and the John Deere pavilion, which was a couple blocks away we stopped in here for a bit early of a dinner. We parked back behind the restaurant and walked around to the front door which when we got there we found out it wasn’t wheelchair accessible. So we went back around to the back where they had the wheelchair accessible door. So we went in and were seated right away. After looking a bit at the menu we all three ordered a Coke $2.50 and I ordered the pad woon sen with chicken for $11.95 as did dad and mom got the pad Thai with chicken for $11.95. Then we sat and waited for a while and watched some of the staff interacting with a couple little kids that were there. They were very excited to see kids including our waitress carrying one of them around for a bit. Eventually our food came.

  

I thought my pad woon sen was pretty good. It had a glass noodles and vegetables and some sort of sauce. All of this tasted pretty good, but I have had better similar dishes. Dad seemed to like his too.

 

 

Mom enjoyed her pad Thai and I sampled it and I think it was better than when I got. I enjoyed this Asian place and wish I could go back and try some of their other things. Since they had many different Asian items from Thai to Korean to Chinese to Japanese and Vietnamese items that sounded good when reading the menu.

Jimmy’s pancake House – Bettendorf Iowa

We stopped in for a late breakfast.

 

 

I got the one egg breakfast with bacon this came with hash browns and I chose toast to go with it. Mom had the same breakfast, but with pancakes. Dad had the two egg breakfast with sausage and pancakes. This was a nice little local breakfast place and it was a good solid breakfast nothing too crazy just a good breakfast. I liked how this place had different sized breakfasts and the one I got was the perfect size for this day.

Bierstube – Le Claire, IA

August 7, 2016

 We arrived here for dinner just after six after a day of exploring the Quad cities. When we arrived we were seated right away and had our drink orders taken; we all three ordered a Pepsi ($2 45). Then we had some time to look at the menu. After looking online previously at their menu I was intrigued by their Ruben rolls. So I kind of had an idea what I wanted, but still wanted time to look at the menu. Eventually we were ready to order and when our waitress was back I ordered the Ruben rolls ($13) with Spätzle and a side salad with creamy garlic dressing as my sides. Dad also got the Ruben rolls and mom got the salad and soup ($7). Then we had a little bit of a wait for our food to arrive.

 

The first thing that arrived was my side salad which I thought was pretty good; with red onions, cucumbers, a little bit a cheese and croutons. I had the creamy garlic dressing with it and it had some kick to it from the garlic and so did the onions in the salad for that matter.

 

 Before I got too far along with this the rest of our food arrived. The Ruben rolls were cut diagonally in half so there were six pieces and some thousand Island on the side along with my side of Spätzle. The Ruben rolls I thought were a great idea and these were pretty good. These were an egg roll wrapper filled with corned beef and Muenster cheese and some sauerkraut, but I thought it could’ve used some more sauerkraut, but it still tasted very good. And the thousand Island on the side was good and perfect to dip these in. My side of Spätzle was all right, but not the most exciting thing. This place was kind of a German place although probably not authentic, but I was glad we ate here and got to try out Ruben rolls and had a pretty good meal.
