Enjoy Juicy Burgers and Crispy Fries at These Area Eateries | Ruhl&Ruhl REALTORS

If you've just moved to a new area, one of the first things to find out is where to go to get a good quality burger and fries. There are plenty of amazing burger places throughout the Quad Cities, and our real estate agents can help you find the best ones in any area. Here are some of our favorites.

  • Armored Gardens - 315 Pershing Ave., Davenport, IA 52801
    If you want a place to go in the summer where you can relax and eat outdoors, Armored Gardens is the place to be. They have beautiful outdoor seating and the largest patio in the area. They also have delicious, handcrafted, locally sourced burgers, freshly made, crispy fries, waffle fries, and more, plus 100 different beers on tap—more than any other restaurant or bar near Davenport homes for sale. And they host beer tastings and other events throughout the year, which are a great opportunity to try some new brews and meet other people in the area.
  • Steel Plow Burger Company - 2180 53rd St., Moline, IL 61265
    When you go to Steel Plow Burger Company, you'll never leave hungry. Not with so many burgers to choose from, such as the spaghetti burger with provolone and fried ravioli, or the truffle burger with mushroom and Swiss. Plus, all their specialty fry options, including queso fries with smoked bacon, or pulled pork fries with Cajun onion rings. You can also build your own burger with anything from bison to venison to prime rib. Plus, sample decadent shakes, such as M&M fudge brownie or glazed donut strawberry shortcake.
