Dining
Davenport is rife with the ethnic cuisines without which it is difficult to imagine a modern American city: Thai, Japanese, Chinese (including regionally specialized restaurants), Indian, Italian, and Hispanic cuisines. Los Agaves on Brady Street and Rudy’s Tacos are popular for Mexican food. The Duck City Bistro on 3rd Street is a favorite for regional, American dining – as is Cheddar’s Casual Café on East Kimberley Road. Front Street Brewery on East River Drive specializes in brewing artisan beers on the premises. For steak and barbecue, locals tend to turn to Harlan’s on Kimberley Road or RJ Boars on Utica Ridge Road. Lagomarcino’s Inc. is a charming turn of the century (19th to 20th centuries) ice cream parlor on East 11th Street.
