LemonGrass Cafe

Top choice in Illinois


This downtown Moline Thai restaurant whips up an authentic menu of Thai curries, rice and street food with occasional dabbles into Burmese, Laotian and Korean. They are not afraid to light you up if you ask for 'Thai spicy' (our fantastic Ga Ree Gai curry nearly killed us!). Choosing which tempting dish to go with here is pure torture.

It's a lively, local favorite with a craft beer-focused bar menu too (Wisconsin cult favorite Potosi Light is on draft).
