“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.“

“My boyfriend and I were planning a road trip and searched for restaurants along our route. The photos for this restaurant on Google drew our eye so we decided to check it out. We were not disappointed. The food was delicious and just as beautiful as in the photos. We'll definitely be back again!“

“Our server, Jake, is down to earth, personable, and goes above and beyond the call of duty. We visit Chicago on a regular basis since moving to IL, and Jake is by far the best server we’ve met In the area.
Food is great, drinks are generous, and the fried ice cream is just the ticket after a mission burrito. Will definitely be back. Give Jake a raise!“

“We live within walking distance of BSB and have dined here 30+ times since we have lived here. We have NEVER had a bad meal or a bad experience, which is SO impressive to say after that many visits. The food is amazing and the weekly specials are so good you wished they made the main menu. Their outdoor seating is great throughout the seasons and we loved bringing our dog here (and he loved it too). Now we bring our daughter who is a BIG fan of the mac & cheese and tots. This is a restaurant we will truly miss being so close to the day we decide to move.“

“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!“

“We celebrated my daughter's high school graduation there. We had 12 people total and the food was delicious, the drinks were on point, the service was exceptional, and the environment was amazing! They truly made our experience special, and my daughter said it was the perfect way to celebrate her big day! I would highly recommend celebrating any occasion, big or small, at Salamone's! They will treat you right! 🎉“

“We had our late Christmas dinner catered by Maciano's. The food was wonderful! I especially enjoyed the Italian Beef, and the bread sticks!“

“Great food, friendly service, and a facility which is both clean and eye-catching. Definitely one of THE places to eat in downtown Rockford.“

“There are several good pizza recipes in Rockford but Gulotta’s pizza stands out among all others; not only in terms of authentic flavor and fresh ingredients but in heart and soul. There’s more to a good pizza pie than what’s on the surface. I was 14 when I first had the Gulotta pizza experience. I’ve lived in Chicago for 22 years, and eaten scores of pizzas from different restaurants. Gulotta’s been at it for 45 years and it’s continues to be top tier in my book. Thanks to Gulotta’s for their undeniable heart and soul and one of the best pizzas ever.“

“I am not one to write reviews but I was very impressed with the service I received while visiting here! I am disabled and require the use of a service animal and the server and staff were amazing and even brought him out a bowl of fresh cold water with our waters! Our server, Ronald, was amazing and so respectful and accommodating:) The food was so good I wish I had been here sooner! I definitely plan on being back to try more of the menu especially now that I know how accepting and welcoming all of the staff are!! The atmosphere inside is very cozy and yet still casual and open for guests. We enjoyed our meal on the patio and it was very nice little patio with all kinds of little decorations and lights. 10/10 experience“

“They have a large menu of of maki and sushi! It was so hard to choose! The fish was fresh and the combinations in the rolls were amazing. My daughter also got the ramen (shoyu I think) and it was excellent. The broth was so rich! We all loved it!“

“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.“

“Friday fish fry is my favorite. Prime rib is tasty on Saturday night very reasonable and tasty. My kids love the calzones.“

“This place is really cool inside and the food is great. We came in from out of town and will definitely be back when we return next year.“

“Where the atmosphere could certainly be improved upon it's a much better option over Cracker Barrel. The food is scrumptious and well worth stopping by. Customer service was top notch ( our drinks were never empty, food was served hot, and appetizers were well timed).
Will certainly become a regular stop, especially for our egg sensitive family members.“

“We recently hosted our son’s wedding at Franchesco’s…I cannot say enough about the service Kim and her staff provided! I 💯 recommend Francesco’s for your your wedding venue! No need to look anywhere else!“

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

“fast and friendly service. Reasonable prices. Large portions of yummy food. Relaxed atmosphere just like your backyard.“

“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.“

“I was told that Gerry’s Pizza is amazing. Well it really isn’t. We tried it yesterday for the first time. We asked for a very thin crust and while it was thin it wasn’t more so than any other thin crust. The sauce lacked flavor. It was at best bland. We asked for extra sausage & cheese. If what they gave us was extra I’d hate to see what regular cheese & sausage consisted of. The bigger letdown was the “Fresh Calamari.” This wasn’t fresh! It was straight from the freezer bag to the deep fryer. Breading was very institutional from a place like Gordon Food Service. The person that took my order over the phone and got my food for me was very nice. You get one chance to make a first impression. Gerry’s food fell far short.“

“amazing food as always. one of my favorite places“

“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!!!“

“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.“
