Cool place! It reminds me of the Artful Dodger in Virginia. Grabbed some food and a coffee here before a late shift. I got the midnight noodles with an egg and dumplings and a jasmine latte. Wow!!! Everything blew me away!!! Wish I worked in this area more often so I could stop here regularly!!! All of their food looks and sounds good. Plenty of seating and looks like it's set up for lots of shows! Heard about it from a friend who reads poetry and does rap battles here. Love the daytime vibe. I'm sure night time is cool, too! Staff is great!

This is my favorite place in the world, not just the Quad Cities. There is so much love, care, and intention inside of this building. Rozz-Tox has done something profoundly beautiful for our community. I have seen performances here that have changed me as a person. I feel such peace in my heart when I enter this space. Thank you Ben for all of your hard work.

We stopped off the interstate (out of the way) for a quick lunch and it was just perfect. Great bahn mi for a vegetarian. REALLY great. Great space and vibes too. Will stop by anytime we’re heading down I-80. Worth the detour.

I wish I could give them 10 stars across the board.... Taste, vibe, price, food, music, crowd, beer, temperature, attitude, humidity, attention to detail, good times, etc. But most of all ... The Frickin Banh Mi Was Incredible!!! Perfect bread, Perfect flavors... Made with Love & Care! I think I had 3 throughout the night ... Hopefully I am going to Eat 4 next time!!! Whole Night Was Wonderful!!! Cheers!!! Rock On!!!
