32 Best Bar & Grill near Fox River Grove

“If you want a romantic date night, this isn't it. But if you want some of the best pizza in Illinois, huge burgers, great prices and friendly staff then give them a shot. You will never regret getting a pizza here I can promise you that. Been around forever, picnic tables outside by the Fox River and a great spot to relax along nw hwy. Love the Dead End“

“The atmosphere is great, the food is amazing will be back for sure. I met the owner super cool guy and the bartender remembered my name! They are starting to have more music events which I'm very excited about.“

“Once you eat here, you will not want to eat anywhere else.“

“On a very hot and busy evening, we took the only seats available, outside- the outdoor seating happens to be a beautiful sun room with a nice view. We came in mid dinner rush on a Friday evening and this place was PACKED, so naturally it was a little busy, and the kitchen had a nightmare on their hands to work through. That being said, the food came out a little slow, and without any sort of prompting, or anything, one of the owners (a VERY nice lady) came out and apologized for the wait, then comped our appetizer for coming out after the entrees, and to top it off she threw in a free dessert for the "trouble" which as far as we were concerned wasn't any trouble at all. The product itself was well worth the wait. I personally NEVER finish my entrees at restaurants, and I absolutely destroyed the Caribbean Burger I ordered. SO worth the wait. Portions are great, food quality was awesome, the entire staff was friendly, despite it being so busy and so hot, the whole experience was awesome from walking in, to closing out. 20/10, would absolutely come here again and would recommend this place to anyone who loves a good Midwestern meal with a great atmosphere.“

“Great service. I love their fish fry and I'm a big fan of the potato pancakes.“

“Loved the vibe
Amazing whisky selection
Good bartender
The best sweet potato fries I've ever had.
The worst burger I've ever had (really poor quality gross burger party with a crappy bun that didn't hold up)

Very very very overpriced.“

“1st time there, will definitely go back. The food smelled really good when we walked in. We were seated by the window which was nice. Lots of TVs everywhere, which are high up, (you can still have a conversation with people). We had the crab cake sliders which were different & good. I had the maple pulled pork bowl which had cheese, onion strings on top & seasoned potatoes. Nice menu to choose from. Can't wait to go back & try something else off the menu!“

“We were in the area after visiting the Trading Post, we noticed the sign for fish fry on Fridays, stopped in around 1pm and was warmly greeted by the bartender, a lot of regulars were inside but she did not ignore us and took our drink and then our fish order. Food came quickly and was delicious! I had the fish tacos. We really felt welcomed and we were satisfied with the whole experience.“

“Great people and so delicious food! Definitely get your bang for the buck! Great outdoor seating, wonderful atmosphere inside too. The owners are friendly and comical.Definitely recommend going on Sundays for football, fun, raffle's, the $1 tacos and Freddy's sillyness!!A must go!!!“

“If you want to sit by the water and enjoy a nice night out and great snack food (Italian Beef bites) and burgers, I recommend The Longshot. Go see Lisa on Friday night and tell her Krista and Lori sent you!“

“Love Coming to Yes Music Bingo to Yes Thank You it is.“

“Possibly the most reasonably priced and chill sports bar on the east side of Rockford. Music isn’t too loud, staff is friendly, it’s not dead but it’s not too crowded. If for some reason you find yourself trapped on the east side of town, this is the place to go when you’re looking for a normal, non-pretentious atmosphere.“

“Hanging with friends having drinks“

“If you haven't tried this place, I strongly recommend it. The DAILY specials are EXCELLENT. The Chopped Salad is so gooood. Staff is friendly. An overall 5-star experience.“

“we are here to create a causal and cozy place for you to play and eat. we know many locals already know us and like us, we are appreciating your support, and looking forward to servicing you better, let us know how we may do better to serve you.“

“I had a chance to swing in last week and it's a nice, comfortable setting. The food was excellent if you are interested in Austrian/German bites. The people working here were super nice compared to similar tyes of places in the area. They even had a 50% off beer special going on! I will be returning for sure.“

“I was there for a fundraiser last night. The food was really good, especially your salsa! Our server was attentive and kept track of our large group really well. We hadn't been there for a long time but will definitely be back again! Thank you so much.“

“Great place to eat on the water. Love the screened in dining on the upper patio. Exceptional decorations during holidays! They know how to have a good time. Food was delicious. I ordered the renegade burger and tots. The best burger I've had in a long time. The tots were fresh and deep fried; didn't taste like freezer burn!“

“We dined at the bar, and Anna the bartender was great! It was very busy, but she did a good job taking care of her customers. Food was great, as always. Thanks!“

“I've ordered here and have sat in. I recommend sitting in over ordering online because the take out portions for sides is ridiculous. Not once, but three times I tried ordering wings with fries and the amount of fries I got were about 15 average each time. That ridiculous. That's why it's a 3 star for service.

Eating in, love the food, love the bar deals, and really enjoy the interior of this location. There is a divider in the middle to separate families dining in and people hanging at the bar. Regardless, everyone is friendly and inviting.

The wings are average, but the sauces are fantastic! I was also surprised by how good the nachos were.

Don't order out with fries, but do sit in!“

“I recently moved into the townhomes across the street and every time I have ordered food it has been 10/10 every item I have had has been absolutely incredible! The servers and bartenders have always been fantastic! This is a favorite for sure!“

“I’ve visited here multiple years and have never been disappointed“

“was there on Sunday October 6th,Great place to watch a Bears game, food prices are really good. The Bone in chicken wings are really good. I had the sweet teriyaki My friend had the garlic parmesan wings we also ordered a pizza however the pizza was okay The cheese was rubbery, I would have liked to have brought these issues to my server however she was kind of in hiding, my server was very slow and that's usually not the case there..
maybe she had an off day“

“Great food, fast, and $12 dinner specials everyday!“

“Had delicious salads for lunch! My friends had the strawberry chicken salads which they both enjoyed. The plates were clean! I had the southwestern chicken salad which had a delightful spicy Cajun dressing. Service was excellent. Our only complaint was the bees which was uncontrollable.“

“love this place eeverything about it“

“We celebrated my fiancee's 30th surprise birthday at Bikini! They helped us set everything up perfectly for the surprise and we had a great time! Lots of fun for everyone with all the games and great pricing on drinks! We usually go for a night out and would definitely recommend Bikini for any party!“
