"I don’t know what it is, but Rudy’s just isn’t as good as it used to be. I’m not sure if it’s the meat. Or the hot sauce. Or the meat there is less cheese on top. This is not the same Rudy’s I had in the early 2000s. So far, East Moline has been the best."

"I was just passing through town and this place was recommended by a few locals. The food was great, and I let them know I was on a time crunch. The staff was super chill about it and got my food out quickly. Would definitely stop here again if I cross paths in this area again"
