“Yum! We drive over an hour to come here!! Worth it!“

“Just enjoyed some wonderful meals, despite being very busy. Had chicken fajitas, chicken mole with margaritas. All very tasty, excellent service & glad we came.“

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

“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!“

“First time experience here! And what a wonderful one! Such a charming atmosphere and wonderful staff! The food is amazing and their drinks were on point! ☕️ Would definitely recommend! And we will be returning!“

“Love the WORKS pizza! Eats like a steak - with all the great meat and toppings!“

“Best lanaga in the world.Awsome pizza and sandwiches“

“Cool place. Located on the upper level of a multi-unit building, features a fully enclosed bar with indoor seating and outdoor seating. I sat at the bar, only me. Got a Monday burger special (Baker Street is closed Monday). Beer is a bit steep at $7.50 for a 16 oz. It looked like less than 16 oz with the tall and skinnier glass but I indeed confirmed with a pour of my pint-glass water into an empty. I recommend the Lucha Mexican with a slice of lime. Also fried the Lucha Lime, which was also good. Other beers are available, kind of hard to read on the tap handles as they’re handwritten in vertical print. Would have been nice to see the beers listed on the drink menu. I couldn’t find them anywhere.“

“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 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.“

“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! 🎉“

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

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

“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!“

“Was great our first time there. Celebrated my son’s 21st birthday tonight. Food and staff were amazing. They made my sons night. Will be cackling often and recommend going to anyone.“

“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.“

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“

“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“

“Proper fish and chips, cottage pie, pan seared salmon, chicken and leek pie -- all were delicious! Crispy fried ribs are an amazing appetizer, the meat just about falling right off the bone. Desserts including Guinness cheesecake are delectable. English beer selections include greats such as Old Speckled Hen and Samuel Smiths brews as well. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming. Superlatives for Emily and Marcia! Love this 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 pub!“

“Just had drinks and loved watching bartender Ed make some fun drinks. Ed was really informative and fun to talk with. Thought pricing on drinks was great. Had a very nice quality rum that was just $10. Loved the atmosphere and the light scent of smoke in the air.“

“Great food and the service was awesome“

“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.“

“Great food and always great service“

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

“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.“

“Excellent stuffed pizza. I was expecting stuffed crust, but it is a double crusted pizza. The flavor was great, and I loved the cheese. I wished I had weighed the slices. Loaded. I was full before finishing two slices.Ordered half sausage. Only thing I would change is to ask them to mark which slices had sausage.“

“best mexican restraunt in the rockford il area. i been go to alvarez since i was a kid. great food,great service and the owner a cool guy.“
