Italian Cuisine
The immense popularity of Italian cuisine globally isn't unknown. You can find an Italian Pizzeria around every corner of almost every city in the United States. Not to forget that in every house, people enjoy mac and cheese as comfort food. But it would be wrong to believe that Italian food starts with pizza and ends with good pasta as this Mediterranean country has much more to offer other than these two dishes. In Italian Cuisine, there is a high use of fresh tomatoes, all kinds of herbs, great quality of cheese, all types of meat, seafood and fresh handmade pasta. Many find it hard to believe that Italians have been making noodles long back.
Italian and Greek cuisines are always mistaken to be same, but they are poles apart. The primary difference between the two cuisines is the use of cheese in most of the Italian dishes. Italians love to cultivate their own cheese and process them as per their food requirement. It is believed that some cheese is so expensive that cheese producers secure them in lockers.
If you are bored eating the same old pasta or pizza, you can try some of the authentic Italian dishes like Risotto, Polenta, Ribollita, Lasagna, Fiorentina Steak, Bottarga, Ossobuco, Carbonara, Focaccia, Arancini and Supplì. Another item which Italians love to relish every morning is a good cup of Italian Coffee. Once you taste a freshly brewed cup of Italian Coffee, you might not visit Starbucks ever again. Authentic Italian food is made with heart and soul, so go find a restaurant where you can relish Italian cuisine in your city.

I was mentioning to a co-worker that I would be in Moline and his first response was, "Are you going to get some Grinders?" I had no clue what he was talking about so he went on to explain their melt-in-your-mouth garlic bread and great food overall. I figured I would try it out. The place used to be some fast food place and it still has outdated chairs and booths but I didn't mind. They have a small ordering counter and the guy behind the counter was so nice and helpful! Their processes reminded me a lot of Fazoli's but the food is way better! I ordered the Manicotti dinner based on other reviews and got the garlic bread. I opted for their house Italian salad dressing and it was good. The manicotti was terrific! The meat sauce had great flavoring and was not clumpy (which I liked). The garlic bread truly was melt-in-your-mouth! Awesome food overall! The place had a steady coming and going of customers and I can see why. I will never again have to ask what Grinders is and will very willingly come back again!

Visited from Orlando and suggest others to make the stop in. Spaghetti was good, salad was heavy on the Italian dressing but who cares.... the garlic bread, was aMAZING! If that's all you go for, it's worth it.

Great inexpensive Italian. We normally do takeout, fast even when you go there and order vs. call ahead. The bread and marinara sauce is a bit on the sweet side but I like it. Love the gondola and dessert bread!

First fresh baked garlic bread holy cow and meatball sandwich and manicotti and the sauce you have to try them awesome.

When I think about garlic bread or cinnamon bread, I think about Grinders. This place gets food right. The restaurant itself is outdated and cheap, but the reason people come back to this place is because of the fantastic Italian food. I'm a fan of the lasagna myself.

Try the beef ravioli, can't go wrong. Family feast is a good value and feeds 4-6, but only available for take-out. If your heading there to dine-in don't expect much for atmosphere.

Terrible! It use to be really good but has went cheap. I will never be back

Grinders. Glorious. The bottom line is that this is good cheap food. Each lunch special comes with your choice of a pasta dish and cinnamon bread or garlic bread. I highly suggest going with a friend, each getting the lunch special, and splitting the bread (each get one type). Everybody wins. As far as decor, I am fairly certain that back in the day this was a Hardee's, and you might never know if it weren't for the throw back seating that still has the Hardee's "H" back. They have also put up some divider stuff to mask it's Hardee's past, but I think the draw here is the quality of the food for the price.

Grinders is one of the major reasons I visit home at all! First of all, the food is AMAZING. I stick with the spaghetti and garlic bread lunch special, and it goes down like ambrosia every time. Second, the motherly woman at the register is incredibly endearing. The various people they have running your food out to you are always very friendly as well. As for the building itself, ambiance is overrated. I'm crying over the miles that separate me from this haven of deliciousness.

Moline staple. More or less lived off of this stuff in high school. That being said, quality has gone downhill big time in the last few years since the old owners left. Don't get me wrong.. I can still down about 700 pieces of the garlic bread. (350 if it's cinnamon bread) I usually get the tortellini and an order of Pizza Bread. Okay.. I'm REALLY hungry right now.. Maybe it should be a 4 star review?? It would be.. but the new gal that runs it is no bueno. She seems like she isn't intentionally rude but she is short and brash and loud. I always feel like I am intruding on a family argument when she is talking to her employees. It's awkard

Good food but rude staff. Don't get in line without knowing what you want they will get an attitude with you.

Read the rave reviews and decided to try Grinders. WOW! The manicotti was delicious! Worthy of candles and white tablecloths but on throw away plates my whole dinner was well under $15. I hope I pass through here again and remember this place!
(4)Bridgette K.
The spaghetti was decent but hardly great. The subs are very basic with no flair, think American cheese straight out of the Kraft single slice package. I could have gotten better food at a fast food chain for less money.
(2)David B.
Great food, good prices and always a friendly staff. Love to come here for lunch and they are always giving a friendly smile. I love the lasagna with garlic bread. For an added treat get melted cheese on your garlic bread for pure deliciousness.

Grinders = comfort food. Stick to the pasta and bread - you can't go wrong. I have purchased a chicken chef salad and it was mediocre at best. A tub of pasta and gondola will serve your family of four aplenty.
(4)Chris R.
The place is not fancy. But, neither are their prices. Their bread is amazing. Gotta try the cinnamon bread. Their sauce is great. Do yourself a favor and go for taste and skip The Olive Garden.
(4)Andrea T.
Pizza bread, manicotti, cinnamon bread are my three favorites. The meat sauce doesn't have chunks of tomatoes (good thing) and it is prepared quickly. Call ahead if you know what you want, it will be ready when you arrive. I wish they had delivery or drive through for call ahead orders.
(4)Don M.
Forget the sandwiches. The rolls they use are very sweet, which is odd for something like a Gyro or garlic bread (but good with the cinnamon bread). And they put few if any vegies in any of their sandwiches. About the only reason to buy a sandwich here is you just want something with some meat and a whole lot of cheese. The pasta isn't much better than you can make at home with a can of cheap sauce, but it is reasonably priced. We tried them twice. I've eaten in places a lot worse. But there are too many other better places in the same price range to go back.

I grew up in Moline. Now I am in Chicago. Many times when I come home to visit my parents, I take a tub of spaghetti and some garlic bread back with me to Chicago. Bringing Grinder's back is worth it. I have yet to have better spaghetti and especially garlic bread anywhere else. Grinder's is good and reasonably priced. I have little patience for overpriced pasta which is far too common in Chicago, so Grinder's is such a treat everytime I have it.
