Johnnys Italian Steakhouse - (Near Moline, IL)

Sandra Gómez Armitage Alehouse delivered an exceptional dining experience from start to finish. Though the space is small and cozy, it is absolutely worth the wait. Every staff member—from the hostess to the bus team—was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, setting the tone for a wonderful afternoon. The food was outstanding and thoughtfully prepared, with bold, well-balanced flavors throughout. The restaurant is known for its pot pies and tikka masala, and it’s easy to understand why. We enjoyed the chicken tikka masala and the NY strip steak, both of which were excellent choices. Our sides—the mashed potatoes and broccoli—were equally impressive. The broccoli, in particular, was elevated by a rich butter sauce that made it truly memorable. Dessert was a highlight. The sticky date cake was phenomenal and a must-order, offering a decadent finish that exceeded expectations. Special recognition goes to Alyssa, our bartender, whose knowledge of local beers was impressive, and Albany, our server, whose attentiveness and care reflected the restaurant’s commitment to hospitality. The attention to detail throughout the evening did not go unnoticed. We were thoroughly impressed with Armitage Alehouse and look forward to returning soon.

Kendall B Fantastic steaks! My husband said it was the best Ribeye he’s had in a very long time. Visited on a weekend stay to Carbondale. We arrived around 7:30pm on Saturday and thankfully there was no wait. Comfy booths with high backs. Excellent staff, very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. Highly recommend the Root Vegetable Hash, never heard of it but oh so good.

Jill Belter Excellent experience and we will be back. Awesome food. I had the Korean bbq chicken bowl and it was amazing!

Vence L We celebrated my moms birthday here. Everything was great. The servers deserve a separate compliment, the waitress who helped us(forgot her name) was super friendly, gave some great menu recommendations, made sure we always had everything we need. The food is also great, I ordered a steak with asparagus and a side of mashed potatoes, my father had the burger and my mom the fish. Everyone enjoyed their food. Definitely a place worth to visit

Luis L My first time here was great! My boyfriend suggested that we try it so we came after having dinner elsewhere, but before heading to the Vespers performance at Millikin. We wanted to have a drink and take a look at the dessert menu. The interior is sophisticated and stylish, although somewhat too brightly lit for my taste. I like it when places are more dimly lit, but that was a minor thing. Our drinks came pretty quicky and the bartenders were very welcoming and lovely. We ordered two things for dessert, but they took longer than we expected. However, once we got them, we were very happy and then headed to the show. My boyfriend says he wants to come back here to sit down and have dinner. Next time!

Mohammed Ghannam From start to finish, this was an amazing dining experience! The food was absolutely incredible perfectly cooked steaks, bursting with flavor, and sides that were just as impressive. What really made the night unforgettable was our waiter, Payton. Attentive, friendly, and genuinely knowledgeable about the menu, Payton made sure everything was perfect without ever feeling rushed. Exceptional service paired with exceptional food, couldn’t ask for more!
