Restaurants near Monroe Center

“great small town atmosphere with amazing food, service, and Bloody Mary's!”

“So the first time I was there was amazing, today I went in and asked what came in a wrap and Jolie the bartender who didn’t even say hi just slapped napkins on the bar as asked what she could get us, when asked what was in a certain wrap, said I don’t know I don’t sell those… I myself walked back by the bathroom to ask the cook what was in it. She was less than unpersonable and only cared about her phone that was “hidden” under the bar. We were a three top and had to ask for our check…….I work in the service industry and we left strictly because of her mood and service.”

“Fantastic food and service! Had the Friday fish fry and it was awesome. Great portions and homemade quality! Highly Recommend”

“The team here was excellent. They communicated and executed a solid line of customers with accuracy and personal attention. The shift leader (Ms. Garcia) was confident and personal. Very impressed for a conjoined location. Many of the half/half stores seem to have a hard time doing it right. They got it here. Soda area was clean and well stocked. They also gave enough napkins, though I think this breaks a corporate subway rule of only 1 napkin per sandwich. :)”

“we went for breakfast it was excellent. service was friendly. portions were large. Will diffently be back.”

“I mean, it's inside a gas station so consider that if you're looking for a place to eat - don't expect Michelin star service, but the pizza is awesome and the staff is very friendly - sometimes that's all you need!”

“Just ate here for the first time. Food was excellent. Cashier was very friendly and inviting. Packs a punch when it comes to the taste of the cuisine. A great example of how to do something the right way. Would highly recommend this place. Definitely stop by if you’re in the area. You’d be glad you did.”

“Amazing food and great people we will definitely be back”

“Love It Best Rib Tips Don’t miss their Brisket”

“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!”

“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! 🎉”

“Great food with Great Flavor! I love the Quesabirria tacos! MUST TRY”

“I consider myself a connoisseur of pizza. And lately, my son and I have been on a mission to compare and rate deep dish (Chicago style) pizzas in Rockford and the Greater Chicago area. We ordered deep dish pepperoni and sausage pizza for pickup. We were not disappointed. The sauce was very fresh and sweet with tomato chunks in it. So delicious! And the price was very reasonable compared to others. Now our number 1!!! We will be back!!!”

“In town for work rn, stopped in to do some laundry and ordered some food and a few beers. Friendly home town vibe with cheap brews can’t be beat.”

“Best Chicken that I’ve had in a restaurant in years. I got the Chicken and Waffles and it was outstanding. Definitely coming back.”

“We have hosted multiple gatherings (up to 15 people, ranging in age from toddler to adult)and have always had a great experience. The menu offers something for everyone, from burgers to shrimp, and always delicious. Desserts are great, also. I would like to also mention the staff~ servers are always attentive and polite. We will continue to host gatherings there!”

“The second time to dine at John's and it is now our favorite restaurant in Rockford and possibly the whole world. Calamari was exquisite, best I've ever had. Seafood stuffed red snapper was phenomenal. My husband said that his pizza may very well be the best he's ever had. We are from Freeport, but we will be driving to Rockford just to eat at John's.”

“Wonderful experience when ordering our “coffees to go”. Staff very kind & helpful. Interior design of cafe is unique & fun. Our coffees were awesome! Will return soon.”

“Best place in town! Locally owned, friendly & very welcoming! Owners and staff remember you and get to know you. Surely makes you feel like family. Food is ALWAYS exceptional for all day, I’m particular to their breakfast (served all day), but lunch and dinner meals are great too!”

“Delicious burgers and a friendly atmosphere!”

“The Cheddar fries are in a convenient cup and come with A fork.”

“Shayna was a wonderful bartender and provided excellent service. This is a very friendly, cozy and low key bar with surprisingly excellent food! Their mango habanero bone in wings were EXCELLENT. Not too spicy but just the right amount of kick. The beef loaded nachos were great too! Thanks for the excellent service and a great impression on my first time there!”

“So yesterday we stopped in to the the food. I got a Hangover burger onion rings and some Cheese Curds. Everything was delicious and very good priced. I don’t normally go in bars because I don’t drink alcohol but I will definitely be back for the food.”

“Great food for a decent price. Friendly staff”

“amazing sauce, double dough crust and cheese. Decided to try a new place to me, and so glad I did. When I am back on that side of town and want pizza... my place to stop.”

“1 of my favorite hangouts!!!! Love this place!”

“food is delicious! we had them cater an event for us and everyone was impressed! definitely check them out!”
