New American Restaurants near Loves Park, IL

“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!“

“I would give 5 stars but the service isn't always good. My group goes for bingo every Tuesday night and there's only 1 waitress who gives fantastic service. We had another waitress for a few weeks when our favorite waitress Huntar was on maternity leave. The service was terrible. Some food was never delivered. Drinks were never refilled. We all agreed if our favorite waitress wasn't working we wouldn't order any food.“

“great beer selection good food fun atmosphere“

“I absolutely adore this little diner. The fact that they're open 24/7 is a huge selling point as well. Every dish I've tried here has been fantastic, but a special shout-out to their hamburger steak, cream of broccoli soup, and tapioca pudding! Super reasonable prices for a huge, delicious meal. I go here about once a week for my fix of comfort food!“

“Such a great vibe. The local artist paintings throughout the restaurant are amazing. You can even purchase if you like.“

“This is my go to neighborhood place. The food is really good, and the staff are great!“

“We reached out to the owner Paul Sletten and team to support a last minute private party at our house, as we had experienced his excellent food first hand from his Abreo restaurant over the years. His catering manager, Elliott, promptly responded with an email explaining their wide range of creative options and costs. We selected our desired dishes and several days later we we met Elliott from his team as he delivered and set up the food with minimal direction. Everyone at the party noted how great the food was (we took all the credit). We would highly recommend Abreo for their catering quality and variety. What a great experience. Well done Abreo and Team!“

“Great place and great menu. Everything we had was delicious and service was great! Definitely recommend.“

“I am proud to recommend Mrs Craig Vanessa for a selfless and reliable investment service. I was constantly looking for a reliable platform to invest and my friend introduced me to her platform and I realized this is the best platform to invest on because she maintains discipline in her investment relationship and strategies to ensure the complete transparency and credibility of her investors. She helped me gained $16,000 with just a capital of $2,000. If you want to be financially successful invest with her ASAP via WhatsApp through Facebook: Mrs Craig Vanessa“

“We celebrated our 2nd wedding anniversary at Crave Kitchen & Cocktail, and everything exceeded our expectations! The ambiance was beautiful, the food and drinks were a 10/10, and the service was so kind and attentive. We were even surprised with a complimentary drink and a personalized anniversary card signed by the entire staff—such a thoughtful touch! Highly recommended for special occasions or a quality night out. ✨“

“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.“

“From the meals coming from the kitchen to the wait staff! Best in the area! 💯.“

“I stopped by Whiskey Roadhouse after reading reviews that they had a good breakfast buffet. They do. It's Sunday 10-2p and it's very good food for a very reasonable price. The staff work very hard cooking and stocking the buffet with quality food but it's hard to keep up at times when a large group of hungry folk descend on the buffet at the same time, so be patient. Food will be out shortly and it's worth the wait. Very friendly place. If there is something that you need, just ask and they'll get it for you.“

“Overall the experience was pretty good. Service was good, it was a bit hectic when it started to pick up. I had the GOAT burger - the bun was fresh and delicious, goat cheese was very little and you couldn’t taste it, but it’s the name of the burger… the patty was plenty in size, but very dry and didn’t do Eickman’s meat any justice. The fries were outstanding. The Filipino Chicken Adobo was very delicious, the egg and sauce were perfect together. Chicken was perfectly cooked. The Lumpiang Shanghai was a great starter to the meal. The Ube cheesecake was ok, but not very flavorful. The Aluna Water was surprisingly refreshing and worth the $10. I haven’t been here since it changed brands, overall decent experience and would try again when not so busy for an event.“

“Found this lil restaurant by accident, and we were so fortunate!!! The atmosphere is great and the food is amazing. We asked our server Yasmine what she recommended and we followed her advice. I had the “Chicago Sandwich (i think)” while my wife had the Lasagna. Both were over the top great and highly recommend these to anyone, side note- she was super friendly and excellent in service.“

“Amaxing food. Great service. Great prices. Had dinner in the outdoor igloo. Beautiful atmosphere. Filet mignon was the best we ever had. Everything insane. The chef is amazing! Appetizers: Lobster Bisque. Buffalo Shrimp. Mozzarella Burrata. All amazing but the Burrata...OH MY ....DONT PASS IT UP!!!“

“Arrived about 40 minutes before closing (2pm), so they were cleaning before we left and smell of pinesol didn't go well with my Swedish pancake. Food was fine, service average. Floor wet as we walked out. Entryway dirty, including small glass liquor bottle no one had picked up from previous night.“

“Really nice place. Food was very good although I wouldn't say it was amazing. They have a very wide variety of food on the menu. The deserts were great though. Overall highly recommend for dinner. Great ambiance, great service very good food.“

“Great service, great food, and fast service.

I came here to get the massive 20oz pork tenderloin and it did not disappoint me. It tasted good, it was cooked well, and had a nice ratio of breading to meat. The table next to us ordered burgers (I'm not sure which ones) but they looked really good as well.

I'd like to know what buns they use for the Big Porker tenderloin, because it was really really good.

My only complaint is the lighting and seating inside of the restaurant -- none of the tables were very large and it was dark inside, and the bathroom -- which was missing common things like urinal partitions and a mirror.“

“Last night my husband and I had dinner at Poison Ivy. We had baked cod with brussel sprouts and cole slaw. The portion was large (we both left food on our plates!) and the food was delicious! The fish was amazing - flaky and perfectly cooked.“

“Cant ask for anything much better in Rockford for fast and great meal at a reasonable cost . Food is always hot and cooked to perfection every time I have gone there . No matter who sells Gyros in town , his cant be beat for price and size !“

“Great prices, consistency, and fast service with fresh tasting food. As a vegetarian, I have been devouring their Veggie Pita Wrap since 2020 and the jalapeño poppers are good favorite to order with it. Unbeatable prices compared to inflation for worse food everywhere else“

“We decided to check this place out, we were not disappointed. The food is pretty good.“

“Came here with some friends for dinner on our way back from Chicago, safe to say it was an excellent decision. The service was phenomenal, some of the best I've had, our waitress was extremely polite and attentive. The food was excellent and the fries were absolutely delicious. Prices are fair for the portions and the taste. I highly recommend making a stop here, it's well worth it!“

“Clean friendly atmosphere. Decent selection including good Scotch. A little pricey. Staff and customers were friendly. They carry THE PAPER. Easy parking close to entrance. Nice, clean bathrooms, which is the standard for measuring any bar or restaurant.“

“I’d give Louie’s 10 stars if I could! Yesterday we had a group of 20+ there for a bridal shower/family dinner. From the moment we arrived until we left, the staff was over the top accommodating to our every need. Service was super friendly and exceptional, as well as the food. The bride to be loved every single second and felt very special. They let us decorate and have all the time we needed. Thanks Louie’s for being fabulous hosts on this very special day❤️“
