Central Standard

Food was good. Burger had a good sauce on it I had the blue burger I asked for no bun and they brought me nice bib lettuce. Had a great mustard sauce and was very tasty. I would have preferred my meat not to be cooked so well. Had a side salad the Cobb and it was good though I forgot to ask for dressing on the side and it was way to heavy on the dressing. The French fries tasted like burnt oil. The food came out quickly so that was a plus. It would have been a solid 4.5 but our service and the price point wasn’t all that great. I didn’t want fries and you could substitute the other sides, asparagus was an upcharge but then I asked if I could have a side salad instead I ended paying for both of them 10 bucks and didn’t get the fries or a substitution cost. So for lunch it was 22 bucks just for mine. So I’m giving it a 3 because it is way to pricey for lunch and the waitress should have clarified the costs. Also it is way toooooooo loud. There is no reason to have the music that loud. It’s hard to talk and we were there at about 2 and it wasn’t too busy.

Drove past and decided to stop for lunch with my husband. The food was absolutely amazing and the atmosphere was chic and something that the Quad Cities needs! The shakes are also phenomenal. Will be coming back and recommending it to friends.

Very cool new space with delicious burgers.
My husband and I stopped in on a Sunday afternoon expecting to wait for a table. Lucky for us, it was the calm before the storm. We were seated immediately before the herd came in.
The wait staff seemed overwhelmed but did a decent job filling our needs. We both ordered the same burger expecting a little more out of it for the price. The meat was delicious but pretty greasy.
Great ambiance and décor. Will visit again!

I would happily give this place 3.5 stars.
Cons: We had a fairly long wait without the space to stand, so we were always in the way. The music was extremely loud, which made it very difficult to have a conversation and spent out time yelling to each other. The pastrami sandwich was so-​so, and the onion rings were too big and thick (part of the breading was doughy). It was also pretty pricey for a burger, ridiculous prices for the sides. It would have been nice to have a bigger selection of burgers, since those are their claim to fame. (I’m comparing this to the selection of burgers at Shorts Burgers in Iowa City)
Also, they have no changing stations. I’m sorry, but if you have high chairs and booster seats, GET A CHANGING STATION!
Pros: We had a great server, and he was very knowledgeable about the menu. I thought the burgers we delicious (albeit pricey). They were thin, crispy, greasy patties. I had the Down on the Ranch, which I much preferred to my hubby’s Oh No You Didn’t.

Thursday night is ½ price bottles of wine. The Superfecta Meritage is amazing!!! And the price is hard to beat. Sat at the bar and the service was impeccable. Also had the pulled pork nachos… they melted in my mouth. Can’t wait to come back for the lobster grilled cheese. Ask your waiter what is good… they will steer you in the right direction! This gem of a place has been long over due!

Central standard had great food and drinks and I hope to go back again. Although I was not impressed with the service. The Gen. Mgr was using a table in the back of the restaurant for his own business/​personal use… Not ideal when there is a 90 minute wait! Our waitress kept ignoring us which was aggravating. I also noticed the wait staff was so slow that the kitchen was delivering the meals. Not sure if this was planned but they looked pretty frazzled. Overall the food was delicious but they do need to work on their customer service abilities.

I have heard nothing but good things about the place, so I thought I’d check it out for myself. The burger was okay if the bun wasn’t so dry. I think what really made the experience special was the hair on the cheese cubes in my Bloody Mary or maybe the left over crusty food from the last guy who used my knife. Honestly I have more things to complain about my experience with this place but I think what I said was enough.

A good burger is all about the beef. At this place, they don’t even let you choose how it’s cooked. They give you 2 tiny patties cooked well done. So much for tasting high quality beef cooked medium… tac on the high price tags and it’s really all about the «cute» and «gimmick» ingredients for the creative made up burgers. Honestly, keep all the fluff and just cook me a quality burger. FAIL
The only real quality burger remains at Bass Street. Expensive, but at least worth it!

Just stopped in had heard good things… it’s was even better ! Great space, quick friendly service and awesome burgers !!

One of the best casual restaurant in Bettendorf. It has good burgers and a large beer selection too. The restaurant has an open layout and you can see the cooks right from your table. The self help Bloody Mary is also a hit. For $ 5, you get a glass with vodka and ice then you fill in the rest. Definitely a place to check out!

Not just another burger place. Awesome flavors across the menu. A QC gem in the making.

Finally came on night where tbere wasn’t a long wit. Nice atmosphere. Plenty of tvs. Fun spot to watch a game. Burger was good with a nice variety. One of the best in the QCA. Fries are crispy. Closest we have to Shake Shack. Glad we have this in our area.

Food was excellent both times I’ve been there, and a good selection of beer. Try the Nutella shake, it’s worth it.

Great loaded shakes, the burgers are fabulous, the french fries were just the way I like them (home made)

Everything was perfect, it is a new place so allow the ticket times to work through. The bar is completely stocked and is maintained by well versed bartenders. The servers are polite and give the perfect amount of attention to the table to allow you to get exactly what you want, yet maintain the distance to allow you to enjoy your guest. Shelby was an awesome server. Although I was getting impatient, I’m glad I never said anything because the food was worth the wait. I ordered the most basic sandwich and I was completely blown away. I’ll be back time and time again.

Unfortunately, this restaurant lacks customer service. I came here for Dinner recently and was disappointed. I placed an order for a veggie burger but the waitress brought me a beef burger without even realizing it wasn’t what I ordered. Once I was able to get the waitress’ attention, I informed her this wasn’t the right order and she looked at me like yes it is. Later when she came back she blamed the entire mix-​up on the computer and told me I would have to wait as it will take awhile. During this time she left the fries that come in a separate container but took the burger. Once my entire party was almost finished, I was provided my order. So now my fries are cold and my party is finished eating. There was no apology or no attempt to provide resolution. Extremely disappointing customer service.
Side Note: I reached out to the restaurant directly before posting this but I never received a response. I always am willing to let a establishment have a second chance but this may be the same issue with Customer Service.

Nice restaurant, good atmosphere, good food. But really pricey for lunch. Unless you order a burger, sides are extra ($ 3 – 5). Burgers include 2 thin patties well done, so you can’t cook to order. Kids’ menu has standard kids’ meals — chicken tenders, hot dog, Mac n cheese, etc — for $ 6.50 each. Overall, nice trendy new restaurant with decent food. But won’t be a frequent destination for us at $ 40 for lunch (2 adult entrees, 1 child — no drinks).

Great food, good atmosphere. bit pricey if I pay over10 dollars for a burger I shouldn’t have to pay 3 dollars for fries and 8 dollars for a beer. Beer was an ipa but at 20 dollars it seemed high for what it was getting. I can get the same at red robin for less and burgers are bigger.

Best burger I’ve had in the QC! Rivals those I’ve had in Louisville and Austin… And that’s saying a lot! I’ve had dreams of those burgers! I had the sunny side up burger…

Well worth the time to check out this new establishment in Bettendorf. Great happy hour and gourmet burger.
