Restaurants in Marengo

“Another great day, ride, and burger. Voted by 100% in our group as the best or second-best burger so far this year! The 3/4 lb fresh patty makes all the difference between a good burger and a great burger. A quarter pound burger, even when triple stacked, is never as good as this 3/4 lb burger. The bun today was signature branded and was perfect and didn't compete with or detract from the burger but became one with the burger. The properly stacked burger toppings held their individual flavors with each juicy bite!!! A must visit place in Marengo, IL.”

“Meal was absolutely delicious Staff were lovely”

“Catering from Flatlander Market was excellent! We used them for our daughter’s wedding of 150 guests at a private venue. Rocco and Sally went out of their way to meet our needs, providing gf df and vegan options. They are professional yet kind and personable. The food tasted wonderful and the service they provided was exceptional. I would highly recommend them!”

“Came across this place on a road trip and liked it so much we decided to make a second stop for breakfast. The food is delicious and generously portioned. The first day I had the Greek scramble, the second we tried the french toast with fruit (pictured), and both were fantastic. The service is quick and friendly; this place obviously has a lot of regulars, and for good reason. Will absolutely return on our next visit to the area.”

“Paige our server was amazing! She recommended wines, main dishes, and surprised us with dessert at the end to celebrate our anniversary! The food was incredible. This place is truly a gem! Give them a try.”

“Great experience. Gluten free crust pizza available. The large salad was fresh and big enough to share.

Dietary restrictions: Gluten free pizza crust available”

“First visit. Immediately welcoming and comfortable environment. Diverse menu and appealing specials available. Great, personal service. Large portions at fair prices. Alcoholic beverages and gambling machines available. Just an all-around old school family restaurant that is doing it right.

Parking: Plenty of street parking available.

Kid-friendliness: Kids are welcome here.

Wheelchair accessibility: It will be a little tight, but I'm sure they're happy to accommodate everyone.”

“The owners are wonderful and all the food is delicious! One of our favorite spots. Highly recommend!!”

“We recently dined at Trio Grill and had a great meal! The food was fantastic, with my wife enjoying the fish tacos and me loving the buffalo chicken wings. Both dishes were delicious!

However, reason for the 4 star service and 4 star atmosphere, we had a $10 off gift certificate that the restaurant refused to honor, claiming it had expired, even though the ticket did not specify an expiration date. In fact, the certificate even said, 'Does not Expire.' They compensated us with free desserts, which, while generous, seemed counterintuitive since the desserts were valued higher than the $10 discount.

The atmosphere was quite dark, and the slot machines making a lot of noise. Making it difficult to fully enjoy the surroundings. After our meal, we had to wait over 25 minutes for the waitress to bring our bill, which was a bit frustrating, but nothing extreme.

Trio Grill offers fantastic food! Would highly recommend!”

“We had friends from out of town and this way about half way for both us First of all our waitress, Paige was outstanding. we had one person with special needs. Paige was super accommodating. The food was fantastic and we had a great time . We recommend stopping by have a drink and some food.”

“Great ownership, atmosphere and staff.”

“Came in for a late Sunday lunch. Service was amazing! Amira was so attentive and patient with our young kiddo needs. Very helpful when we made a mess. She knew one kiddo by name by the end! Fresh complimentary chips right out of the fryer were delicious. The carne asada burritos were very tasty and she happily accommodated the vegetarian needs of one of our party.”

“Very fun place, great people, can’t wait to go back!!”

“The food is regularly fresh and delightful, staff members hands out awesome customer service. I really like how neat it is and ambience. I highly recommend this spot.”

“This place really looks awesome with the reclaimed brick from the old clocktower in Rockford! Great job - looks wonderful. We had an enjoyable time here with great service from our favorite bar keep - Jimmy. Thank you, ❤️ Merry Christmas!??☃️”

“Long time drive up restaurant. Old fashioned burgers, fries, and ice cream place. Service can occasionally be a bit slow, patience is advised. The ice cream treats are always delicious. Burgers can be a bit dry. Curly fries are the best of the potato choices. The portions for fries are pretty big so go one smaller than you think and then get more if you’re not full. Get the cheese on the side of the cheese fries. They tend to get soggy and cold quickly and not as appetizing. We go here frequently and will continue.

Vegetarian options: French fries, onion rings. Not the place to go for vegetarian choices.

Kid-friendliness: Small and limited indoor dining. Lots of outdoor seating in season. The menu is very kid friendly, and we all scream for ice cream. ?”

“I don't know anything about whether Mexican food is authentic or not, but I know I have liked everything I have had from La Hacienda. Friendly staff and quick service, always.”

“good fried rice, wonton soup, lo mean, and orange chicken. that's our normal order.”

“We come in almost every Thursday for oysters and dinner. The staff and the food is always wonderful! I hosted a baby shower this weekend, the staff went above and beyond for our event! The food was incredible for the buffet that was set up. Thank you Niko, Randy and staff for all of your hard work!”

“Food is great but was rather upset when the online menu prices were nowhere near what I was charged.”

“For once, hot food is served!!! Yes, even the fries! Maybe we have the next Croc who actually knows how things should be done with standards kept. KUDOS to management.”
