Seafood Restaurants in the Quad Cities Area

Despite its name, Quad Cities actually refers to five cities that lie on the Mississippi River: Davenport and Bettendorf in Iowa and Rock Island, Moline and East Moline in Illinois. Despite being spread over two states, the Quad Cities area has a strong regional identity and has seen heavy regeneration over the past two decades. This influx of money and increase in the standard of living, combined with the Quad Cities' bountiful fishing areas, has seen a large number of seafood restaurants open in the area, catering to all tastes.
