Food is always very good. We went early for dinner and had the outdoor patio to ourselves. Our waitress was very good, very nice and personable. 9/10!
Great outside deck. Food is good. They could use some busboys to clear tables to keep hostesses and waitresses focused on their tasks.
Delicious! Started with cheese curds and pig candy. Excellent start to the meal! Then for the main dishes-The Grinder, Jagerschnitzel, and Prime Philly. Did not disappoint! Service was also very good with how busy it was. Will be back!
Perfect. It's just the best. Everything is well thought out, practiced, well executed. The food! OMG. We went early on a Saturday and had perfect prime rib. Even the side vegetable was unique and wonderful, mouthwatering and healthy, too. It was busy, but not unpleasant or crazy from a customer perspective. Service was attentive and knowledgeable. There was a pre Christmas atmosphere with a lovely tree. There seemed to be a fireplace one room further. We had one of our best dining experiences ever. They also have a gift card currently.
Foods is great. Service is usually slow, but the ambiance is good, especially on the patio in the summer.
A Rockford staple for good reason. They have a great, tasty menu with something for everyone. A surprise favorite for us lately has been the fish fry on Fridays (as a bonus, it's dairy free, which means it's the only fish fry in town that I know of that I can eat!). They have so much more to offer though, from burgers to tacos to ribs... a lot of great American fare. I don't drink but one of the highlights of this place is definitely their beer selection. It's some of the best in the entire area, and they're always rotating in something new. This is the place to get the rare stuff you can't find anywhere else, and the variety is insane. They also have a full bar with lots of liquor and wine choices. Servers are awesome and it's a well kept spot for being in business so long. They even have a lot of great outdoor seating for the warmer months.
Never imagined Rockford IL would be a busy place during the weekend for lunch. Had to call before making a visit to this restaurant. We were a group of 7. Made the following orders: Breakfast burger was too big in size but flavors were spot on Prime Rib Steak sandwich looked more like a steak with bread toasted. The meat was good but I felt that it didn't work for a sandwich. Crispy Brussels were delish. Would highly recommend even if you are not into Brussels. A friend of mine ordered Mussels with diablo sauce and said it was good. Bison burger also looked good as per another friend. Overall a great place to have some food as you travel into Wisconsin. Just a word of caution: Restrooms are too cold
Decided to stop in for dinner. They have lots of craft beer from all over Illinois. The Mac n cheese was delicious. It was served with Garlic bread. The burger was ok. Service was pretty good.
