Bayside Bistro,

2704 18th Avenue, Rock Island, IL 61201

"First time eating here. Staff was extremely pleasant and welcoming. The atmosphere was great, and food was cooked to perfection. They make their own beverages, so don't go expecting regular soda of any kind. The drinks were very good. We were asked several times if everything was to our liking and if we needed anything else. Price was exceptable for the amount of food served. Definitely will be returning for additional meal choices. They have a menu for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It's worth the visit. Very clean restrooms as well."

"As someone who is originally from the South and cooks Southern food well I’ve become a skeptic about other Southern dishes up here. However, they definitely did NOT disappoint!! The owner and dish creator Tish was very welcoming of my opinions and waited to say grace with me before I took my first bite, she was very interested in my take of her food. I felt appreciated by her presence and loved every bit of the food!! I will definitely be back to try more!"

"This place is fantastic. The owners truly care and make a point to talk to every customer that they can. I got the po boy and it did not disappoint. My husband had their fried chicken wings and liked them as well. Their homemade chips are awesome! We will be back"

"Bayside Bistro in Rock Island is a gem! The owner is incredible, not only for serving amazing food but also for giving back to our community. The fresh, flavorful dishes, welcoming atmosphere, and top-notch service are all reasons to visit. Truly a restaurant with a heart! Highly recommended!"

"A solid 7.5/10 for this 25 year old chef! EXCELLENT spice blend and flavors. Just a bit greasy but it happens. My husband said the crab cakes were nice too. But for me the Caribbean Power bowl had perfect amount of cabbage, too many black beans, incredible tofu! Crazy huge, sweet potato flavor was great just a bit overcooked. This place seems new and I really think it will go places once they relax and hone in the clear skills! Keep it up!"
