“LOVE THIS PLACE - my go to on Wednesdays is their wings. The boneless wings are huge, and they are house made. Fresh chicken chunks that they hand bread and fry, no frozen garbage here. If I’m feeling a sandwich, their Italian beef is the GOAT. Slow roasted in house, tons of meat.. my favorite part is they have mild and hot gardeniere to choose from. Don’t forget to add the Parmesan truffle for you tots. The service and staff is also outstanding, we love coming on Tuesday nights for trivia to see Monica. Always a joy to see Rachel for wings during our lunch break, Saturday brunches with Jerrica! Shout out to Andrew for running one of the greatest Rockford staples - YOU DA BOMB!“

“We had a fantastic time at this bar. The ambiance was perfect—relaxed yet lively, with good music and a cozy vibe. The bartender (Caroline??) truly made the experience even better. Her customer service was top-notch! She was friendly, attentive, and made sure my our drinks were always full. If you’re looking for a great place to unwind with excellent service, this is the spot. Highly recommend!“

“This was our first visit, looking for a place to grab lunch on a Friday of running errands. Drove by and knew we had to stop when we saw the doors were up. Great food and such a selection of drinks! The bartender Nicole was AMAZING, called us by our names the whole time which made us out of towners feel welcomed! Food was delicious and not a basic menu. Highly recommended!!“
