The drinks are affordable, the live music is always a good time, and it's the kind of place where you can relax and feel welcome. If you're looking for a laid-back neighborhood bar with character, Mary's is definitely worth a visit.“

“Great mid-west, family owned, neighborhood pub. You'll never be served by a better group of bartenders either. The name Rockview might not sound familiar but "the bar on woodruff" or "the bar by the viaduct on Broadway " should jog your memory.“

“The bartender, pete, was awsum. He was personable, glad to explain the ice cream shots they have, shared the last Tue of the month paint "party" they do, and was on top of making sure needs were being met without being overbearing. The bar is clean, has updated decor, and overall a fun vibe. I recommend checking it out .“

“great crowd, great drinks and a lot of fun!“

“Neighborhood bar that fits the spot. New owner has done a great job and investing. A lot of effort into making the place just a little more special.

Great place to throw darts at the Bulter. Always have music to play, and the sports game or two on, but never too busy. Lots of surprises and raffles that are continuously ongoing. Most of the time with a good cause to support things like the veterans memorial..“

“First time experience here! And what a wonderful one! Such a charming atmosphere and wonderful staff! The food is amazing and their drinks were on point! ☕️ Would definitely recommend! And we will be returning!“

“Excellent and helpful staff. Friday fish is one of the best in the area. My mom loves the Walleye and Blue Gill. And she is picky about her fish. My sister is not a fan of fish so she gets the chicken sandwich and says it is one of the best she has ever had.“

“Food is second to none!!! Best Smash Burgers in Rockford hands down!“

“Eat spot to sip a great affordable drink! The bartenders are the absolute best. The slots pay out every time I have played and did I tell you the bartenders are theeeee best! A must stop spot in loves park! Right next to 640 meats, baked wings and India house!“

“Love Heather! Nice little hangout spot.“

“Neighborhood feel with great people, good food, lots of fun and though the place has remodeled over the years, it still feels like the bar it was way back in my young days!“

“this is where i fell in love😍“

“Top Dollar Slots on Alpine is one of the better gaming spots in the Rockford area if you’re looking for a clean, comfortable slot parlor with good machines and a relaxed atmosphere. The space is well kept, machines are in great condition, and the overall vibe is easygoing whether you’re stopping in for a quick session or staying awhile.

What really made this visit stand out though was the food. I tried the Napoli’s Specialty Supreme Pizza, and it was honestly excellent — fresh, loaded with toppings, and cooked perfectly. Having quality food available while you play is a huge bonus compared to many local gaming cafes.

Other positives:
• Friendly and welcoming staff
• Comfortable seating with good spacing between machines
• Complimentary beverages while you play
• Convenient Alpine location with easy parking
• Clean environment throughout

If you’re searching for slot machines near Alpine Road, a local video gaming cafe, or a place to relax with good food and gaming, this is definitely worth checking out. Solid experience all around, and I’ll be back.“

“Great people, food is wonderful, and the slots are fun!“

“Parking: There is a social services office across the street that closes at 4-5pm and there are approximately 30 spaces available.

Kid-friendliness: The dining room is large and plenty of room for children.

Wheelchair accessibility: The dining room and bar area are 7 steps below street level but there is an elevator chair that glides down safely.“

“Nice place and great menu.“

“Love it here great food n drinks“

“Great food great people!!“

“Nice place for party’s .. lindo lugar para fiestas 🥳“

“Sat out on the balcony and had a delicious late lunch! Food was really flavorful, ended up eating way too much. I wish I lived in town to come back more often, was traveling through. I'll keep it in mind though next time I'm in the area!“

“Good burgers and fries! Recently repainted and reconfigured“

“It's a very nice clean regular bar where all the regulars come tell their day time stories or their week stories whatever and it's all been redone on the inside so it's very clean very nice looking. They also offer games like darts there's TVs and I was there for a birthday party so I imagine they have other things I just didn't get to see everything but like I said it's a great local bar and it's very clean and the regulars like to have a lot of fun yet I found that it was not cliquish at all and everybody was very inclusive and wants what your favorite drink to get to know you even wanted to find out what your favorite drink is, nobody was standoffish are snotty or playing Mean girls because it's their bar, that's not the vibe at all, the vibe is come in have fun enjoy yourself and then go home and have a nice night that's the vibe I got from there! They also have Dart leagues that go to Vegas! Let's put it this way if it wasn't so far away from my home I would make it my local Watering Hole but I'm still glad that I got to visit it. If anybody out there agrees with my review please just simply press the like button! Thank you“

“Great place. Great people if your looking to relax. Have a few stop over and you would say yes“

“My mom, niece, and I went to the eggstra special egg hunt today and had so much fun, there were so many activities, everyone was so nice, i definitely recommend“

“In town for work rn, stopped in to do some laundry and ordered some food and a few beers. Friendly home town vibe with cheap brews can’t be beat.“

“Had a group of 19 women in for lunch today. Went in last week to let staff know we were coming on Monday at 11 am. I arrived, no tables were set up and I had to help arrange tables. All of our meals were very good. There was a huge variety on the menu choices. I asked our waitress if I might have a gift card ( $10 or $15) to draw from among the women. Was told the manager could not get ahold of the owners to ask if this was okay. Really? Anyway, every 2 months I make a reservation for us all to go to lunch. Never been turned down before. All the food was great. This just rubbed me the wrong way.“

“The Tavern on Clark is amazing! My daughter and I were traveling from out of town and were recommended this place! The manager went out of his way to accommodate us and find us a table. They were so busy. We didn’t have a reservation. But he was so kind and helpful, working out a way for us to have a wonderful dinner! Our server was so efficient. The food was as delicious as we were hoping! Literally my daughter’s burger was HUGE! The potato fries were cooked to perfection. I had a BBQ chicken salad that was so fresh and tasted amazing! We come to Rockford for soccer a few times a year. We will be back for sure!“

“Local gem. Reasonable prices on drinks. No food but people sometime bring it in. Chips! They have pinball, pool, darts, and some other game I never play.

Friendly bartenders and people. Does not normally shut down early like some other places. I enjoy the regulars.“

“Great slots and friendly atmosphere!“

“I’m not giving this bar 5 stars for the food, cleanliness , or prices. I’m giving it for the people. The owner is such a sweet lady. The bartender and regulars are more kind hearted and understanding than any other bar in town. I lost someone and stopped by 3 different bars but left each one until I ended up here. They made me feel like I wasn’t alone or like they knew me, treated me like their own and I can’t be more grateful! I’m sooooo thankful for the people and the owner, Thank you! 🧡“

“Fantastic food! Fabulous service! Hometown vibe! We went all in last night, on a taste testing journey..round 1- cheese curds & meatball bomb w/ garlic toast. Round 2- walleye, cod, shrimp, baked & cheesy potatoes, and salad. Round 3- yummy Texas sheet cake! Everything was delicious, hot, and picture worthy!“

“I had my father's flag folded & placed in his shadow box. it was beautiful to have done by these angels of God. I appreciated it so very much. Thank you all for the support.“

“We stopped in after our grandsons baseball game. It was our first time here. There were 8 of us who decided we wanted to sit in the beer garden.
The burgers were awesome! The service was outstanding!
Thank you Joe for taking good care of us!
Highly recommended.“

“First time I have been there and I have no complaints. TNT just happened to be close to my work. A friend and I wanted to grab a burger. So we gave it a try. Had the Rodeo Burger. Way bigger than I expected and very good. Nice Job TNT. We sat at the bar and the staff and patrons were really welcoming. That was really nice as we had never been there. We will put this place in the lunch ration. I recommend this place.“

“Great food and even better service. I stopped in for lunch here and had the carne asada and carnitas tacos. They were delicious!! Had a margarita to wash it all down. Very clean inside and the staff was very friendly. I will definitely be back to try more menu items and the ambiance of this establishment.“
