Help us say ‘thank you’ to an amazing restaurant worker!

NOMINATE TODAY!

Our Quad Cities restaurant community is essential to our region’s success. Restaurants bring people together, offering authentic experiences that shape our identity and story. They’re where favorite meals are enjoyed, milestones are celebrated, and lasting memories are made.

We love the food, of course—but we also love the chefs, cooks, servers, bartenders, baristas, managers, hosts, cashiers, runners, bussers, dishwashers, and kitchen crew who make it all happen.

QC Restaurant Week celebrates the restaurant industry and the people who make it special. Visit Quad Cities wants to recognize those who go above and beyond to create exceptional experiences and bring customer-focused energy to their work.

Nominate your favorite restaurant industry professional by March 27, 2026, using the form below. Selected nominees who exemplify outstanding service will be honored during QC Restaurant Week.

Winners will be recognized and surprised with a gift from Visit Quad Cities during QC Restaurant Week.
