First visit: Jun 2025
After wrapping up in Ottawa, we made the journey west to the Quad Cities. I've never been prior, and made a point to stay on the Iowa side of the border. Like with Indiana, my experience in Iowa is quite limited. We haven't spent a night here since 2009 when we stayed in Des Moines. We had a memorable Italian dinner at Gino's, but they are now closed unfortunately. The last time I set foot in Iowa was in 2011 in Sioux City as I wanted to try Milwaukee Wiener House for lunch (excellent BTW) on my way to Winnipeg.
Food: Fortunately Mrs. RJG was in the mood for another brewpub, and Crawford fit the bill. As with Evil Czech in Indiana, I was able to check off another state that I consumed a local beer in. The photo just shows my spicy breaded chicken sandwich. And Mrs. RJG had the double smash burger. Everything came out hot and excellent. Definitely would be a regular stop for us if we lived in the area.
Location: An expansive free standing building. Two stories including a large bar seating area. A great place to host an event, and there were at least two of those when we were there.
