Rock Island's Rozz Tox Reopening For 10 Year Anniversary

There’s literally no place in the Quad-Cities like Rozz-Tox. After marking its 10th anniversary in 2021, the quirky café has been closed for renovations for the past couple of months. It will reopen with its dazzlingly diverse lineup, Asian-inspired menu, and offbeat charm on Feb. 11. During a traditionally slow time of year anyway, the remodel will make the place feel smaller and more intimate, Rozz-Tox owner/manager Ben Fawks said recently. “I think it’s going to feel a little more comfortable, a little more cozy,” Fawks said, noting there will be fewer live shows. “We’re... Read More

Quad City Pizza Company's Bacon Cheeseburger Pizza Hits All The Right Notes, Doc Says

Part Pizza Part Bacon Cheeseburger this new creation for the month of February at Quad City Pizza Company hits all the right notes. I don’t know why I like, err, love this thing so much. I feel guilty, it’s like my high school crush on the lunch lady, I know it’s wrong but I go back for seconds anyway. My eyes see pizza, but my mouth says Bacon Freaking Cheeseburger. A little savory a little sweet, kinda like my high school lunch lady, less upper lip mustache. Give it a try you might fall in love like I did. With the pizza, not Lunch Lady Esmerelda.

Rocks Anchor Grill Is A Mystery, Tragedy, Love Story And More, Doc Says

If you blink, you’ll miss this stop, and that is kind of unfortunate. Today, we are talking about Rocks Rocks Anchor Grill. I am going to start this one out a little rough, but stick with me. I promise it gets better. Typically, my reviews end with a score on a scale from 1 to 10. So maybe we Tarantino this one a little bit. My score for Rocks Anchor Grill is 6.2 Of course this is a lower than average score, and some of you may be upset with my opinion but let me explain before you come with the pitchforks. Let me preface this by saying I am not a professional food critic. I am just... Read More
