“friendly people,great food.but not happy about them closing so darn early.I really wish they would go back to their original hours.“

“Went with my wife for the first time today. Excellent burger and sandwich for fastfood. Will definitely be back.“

“Love the food and the employees!!!! Will definitely continue to get our business and support!“

“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.“

“I've not had many bad experiences possible twice of the dozens of times I'm here so I'll continue to patronize.

Kid-friendliness: Plenty of superhero characters around so those that are into it like my children may take a liking to the place and fight with each other about which (comic book) era the characters were from or whatever, simple but meaningful time together.“

“I loved it, now they said the kitchen is shut down and they no longer serve food. Wonder what is going on.“

“Keep up the good work our waitress was awesome, He was always checking on our table to see if we needed anything, We had a table of 11.“

“Burgers were very greasy today but still good“

“I always have nothing but great experiences here. Whether I’m watching sports with my friends or just popping in for a quick bite to eat. The service is always above and beyond and the food/atmosphere are great as well. Huge shoutout to Keira for always being on top of her work and taking care of everything even when it’s packed!“

“First time eating here last week. If you want great biscuits and gravy, this is your place. Will definitely be back.“

“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!“

“Jim at Market Place was fantastic! I couldn't have asked for a better experience. He was helpful, polite, and super kind. Thank you sir!“

“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!“

“Nora's has the best bisquits and gravy around! It's always me and my grandson's favorite. Thank you for being special!“

“The food is EXCELLENT and the price is great for the portion size. hadn't been there till a month ago but have now made it our go to if we are going out for breakfast....our previous place has been replaced!!“

“We stumbled on the restaurant- it was close to our hotel. Was not what we were expecting when we walked. The main was huge and very diverse something for everyone.
Edward was super friendly and acknowledged us as soon as walking in. The was so much to look at loved all the characters. If we are ever back this way again will stop“

“Great awesome environment, waitstaff was incredibly super friendly and nice!!!“

“Great atmosphere and glad it was open later than many of the nearby restaurants. Service was great and food arrived in a reasonable time. The only reason I can’t give five stars for food is it is on the pricier side. We had the spicy feta dip and the asparagus and mushroom ravioli which were super yummy. 😋“

“Went for soul food dinner today!! Excellent food! It was all so good! Will be back. 🥰“

“Great food, and great service, the outdoor patio is excellent this time of year!“

“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.“

“I love this place. Legit is one of the only reasons I even bother to go to the Cherry Vale Mall. They always have good service. They always have everything done in a timely manner even if you order multiple smoothies, shakes, anything really.“

“Delicious food and cocktails!“

“Always great food and wonderful service! A Fun Gift Shop too! ❤“

“Great quality Chicago style hotdogs and fries! Inexpensive but tasty food and friendly service!“

“I came there with a large group (about 40 people) and this place was wonderful. Our server, Riley, was amazing!“

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

“If you live close by it’s a great place for breakfast! Good food and friendly service, however I wouldn’t go out of my way as many places offer a very comparable breakfast.“

“Food is like home made ! Very recomended“

“One of my favorite spots! The vibe inside is just the right mix of cozy and cool—like if your stylish friend with great taste in beer opened a pub. Their salads make me feel responsible, their burgers make me forget I was trying to be, and the fries? Let’s just say they disappear faster than my willpower. Add in great drinks, and it’s basically my happy place. Highly recommend!“

“is the best food in town“

“I loved the food and excellent service“

“Went with my wife for the first time today. Excellent burger and sandwich for fastfood. Will definitely be back.“

“garret here is a racist traitor to his country“

“My family and I recently moved to Loves Park. We've heard from everyone that we needed to check out Spring Garden Family Restaurant. It was 1000% worth it. Their prices are incredibly reasonable, food comes in large portions, staff has outstanding customer service, the food tastes great, and restaurant was very clean. We will definitely be back again and again. I had the countryfried steak dinner and I absolutely loved it. The caramel pie ice cream was the stuff dreams are made of lol.“

“Great night for a motorcycle ride! This is a great Culvers!“

“Have lived in the area for over 50 years, but somehow missed out on this amazing place until today! Great food, very unique and eclectic atmosphere and super friendly staff. Prices can't be beat! Don't forget your cash though, cause they don't accept credit ?“

“Food was delish! Everyone of us had a great meal! Service a little slow, but we didn’t mind. Gave us time to chat longer!“

“The food is good considering it's not considered fine dining and the price is right. I always enjoy looking around at the merchandise they have.“

“Their food is awesome. I just love going in there and eating. Their food atmosphere is awesome as well“

“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!“

“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.“

“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“

“incredible impossible burgers & pickle ball is a fun way to burn off calories“

“I was VERY impressed with their attention to details when it came to taking precautions. Great job employees! I noticed them!“

“We ordered the Thanksgiving dinner to pick up and it was top notch!!! We will do it again. Thank you for taking the stress out of this day.“

“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.“
