Circle Tap Menu

Sorry, We are updating this restaurant menu details.

    I just don't get why people like these ribs. They are mediocre at best. Not nearly as good as Famous Dave's or many other rib eateries in the Quad Cities. I guess it's a local thing. If you grew up in the Quad Cities, you'll probably like boiled ribs. If you're from anywhere else, you'll be disappointed. I only go there when I'm dragged by coworkers for an after work event. I would never go there otherwise.

    Good ribs, cheap drinks. Super friendly bartenders. Irish flag on the wall. What more could I ask for! ;-)

    It's a bar. They make food. The daily deal when I went was burger baskets for $3.50. Not bad... but it's an additional $1.75 for a (not particularly generous) cup of soda at the bar... The food is good overall, but not necessarily "special"... although everyday has a different special. You go to the window in the back room to order your food. I could imagine this place on a weekend being quite busy... during the week at lunchtime, it's quiet.

    Recommended as the best place in town for ribs. And that might be true: the ribs are yummy n juicy. However, the location is something to get used to and the way the food was presented was, let's call it "interesting". First off, this is a true "hole in the wall" bar, Not a fine dining restaurant. That is not necessarily bad, but also not what I had expected, and not a place I would bring kids to. Second, there were no plates. The ribs were served straight on a tray. The fries came in a basket. I don't know how easy or difficult it is to truly clean those trays, but I am pretty sure you don't run them through a dish washer. Anyways, if a dive bar is your thing I will recommend this place because of the fantastic ribs. If you look for anything else but beer and ribs, or a family friendly location, this is not your place to go.

    Ribs are legit! Best in the QC in my opinion.

    This place is primarily a bar, and also a place I had successfully avoided for decades. Unfortunately due to circumstances beyond my control I ended up here twice in a 3 week period of time recently. Nothing has changed, it's still a dump with poor service and even worse food. First visit I had their vaunted ribs; they were OK, you get better at a chain such as Famous Dave's and much much better at Jim's Rib Haven across the river. Second time had a bacon cheese burger and cheese fries. Hands down worst burger I've ever had in my life; like a hockey puck in both flavor and consistency. Clearly a frozen, pre formed burger that they buy in bulk; disgusting. The cheese fries? Fries sprinkled with cheddar that they nuked in the microwave on the same STYROFOAM plate they served them on. The whole pile of fries was stuck to the plate as the cheese was hard. No creamy queso type cheese here; again disgusting. As a bonus I woke up later that night with stomach cramps and diarrhea; thanks Circle Tap!

    I love the circle! The atmosphere and bartenders are great! They have great drink specials and karaoke on Fridays. I've have been told they have some of the best ribs in town but always seem to get there just as the kitchen is closing (usually 9pm). I would recommend this place to anyone, the crowd in this place is pretty well mixed and the music is good.

    Four words: I love this bar. Great food, fun bartenders, relaxing atmosphere. And close to home. :)

    We took a group of about twenty people to the circle tap one evening and I would say I am less than impressed. The bartender was some meathead tool wearing a shirt three sizes too small and acted like he gave two craps about us being there. I would have to say that the lady in the kitchen was quite fast with delivering our food. So, that is a plus. I'm not sure what the big deal is about their ribs, though. I'm from the south so I'm probably a little biased but they were just ok, not great. I don't recommend this place, at all. I guess if you're a local and it's what you're used to than it would be alright.

    Yeah. Their ribs are solid. They are saucy ribs though, not the dry kind. And this place does get busy, so plan accordingly. The wait for ribs can get quite long but it is well worth the wait. It has a no frills atmosphere with papertowel on the tables for napkins. The bar is a circle shape, hence Circle Tap, and very inviting. I love the county music that is usually playing and gets everyone dancing. The crowd is definitely a younger crowd mixed with regulars. When we are back in the QC, this is our "go to" place for ribs. YUM.

    My boyfriend absolutely loves this place and has raved about it ever since we met. When I lived in the quad cities, I had heard about it but was never able to make it there. We went there with some of his friends when we were in town and all of them were so excited! I was skeptical. Very very skeptical. I was afraid I would be disappointed because all I had heard was people talk it up. One thing I was surprised at is that it is not quite as much of a hole in the wall as I expected. Sure, if it is your first time there with no one else who knows what they are doing, ordering is about impossible to figure out. I had to get the ribs and got the quarter rack with potato salad. My ribs actually came on a plate while all the guys orders (half and full racks with French fries) came on serving trays. The ribs fell right of the bone. To be honest though, I liked the potato salad over the ribs. Don't get me wrong, the ribs were good but I have had better. I know I will be going back again as this is one of my boyfriends favorite places to eat in the QCA.

    If it is good meaty ribs you want and really good fries served on a tray then you have arrived here. It takes a while for the ribs so get your order in right away and have a beer while you wait. The ribs are meaty and cooked well - I would prefer a spicier sauce - a little too sweet for me but the ribs are so good I can overlook a so so sauce. This is a well frequented neighborhood bar that is bigger than it looks with outside seating.

    I would recommend the ribs. Also if you want to have a few drinks with a good atmosphere, visit the bar later at night.
