Sunday Brunch starting at 9:00am. I've been here a few different times for brunch, and for some reason, I've never had to wait to get a seat. Tasty brunch buffet, reasonably priced. Nothing extravagant, but you definitely won't go away hungry. Personally I like it much better than the two diners in town that serve breakfast.
Good dinner/bar food as well.

If you've never had Casey's Pizza, you'll be surprised how good it is, especially for "gas station pizza". I highly suggest their breakfast pizza as well. They sell pizza by the slice during the day (as well as subs and some other items). Or you can order a whole pizza, cheese bread, etc. to go. There are two locations in town, and the one that is near the interstate is open 24/7.

Drinks & Nightlife
Geneseo Brewing Co.
102 S State StGreat place to eat, or just grab a beer.
They often have live music as well.
Great beer and food! Many beers to sample, and they always have something new to try as well. Uncommon Stout is the local favorite. You can also find their beer on tap at several restaurants and bars in the Quad Cities area and beyond. They even sell select varieties at Fairway Grocery right in Geneseo! I may be a little extra partial, as my boyfriend was the head brewer for years, and is currently co-running the company. =) Enjoy!
