“My family and I recently visited this restaurant and had a great experience. We ordered a few pizzas, and they were excellent. The pizzas were loaded with toppings, the ingredients tasted fresh, and the flavor was outstanding. My daughter ordered a wrap, and she absolutely loved it. It was delicious and packed with flavor as well. The food was served fresh, portions were generous, and everything we ordered exceeded our expectations. We will definitely be coming back and would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for great food!”

“IT’S WIIIIIIIILD to me that EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. I come in… Which is MULTIPLE times a week… That I LITERALLY will stand in front of the register for 2-4 minutes (think about how long that actually is)… Where NO ONE looks at me or greets me. I don’t care that I wait for service. NOT an issue. This place is busy BECAUSE the products are so good. But the fact that a customer could enter your store and NOT be greeted is absolutely INSANE to me. The service in Rock Falls is SO. MUCH. BETTER. It’s taken me like 8+ trips before I finally made this post. Someone should really train these baristas how to represent your business. It makes me not even want to come here, when this is EASILY the best place in town. 😤😤😤”

“The girls that made my sandwich and ran the register were very helpful. I like to ask about suggestions as I do. At covering restaurant or bar, I go to I like to see what people eat that actually work there. And what their favorite things are, they were very talkative. Hey, they had some knowledge about Arthur's Deli and being young. I liked the persistence and happiness that they portrayed to a customer that pays the bills) i ended up getting the number six with provolone. John, a nice, large pickle on the side. And some deep river zesty, jalapeno chips, kettle cooked.”

“Great menu--lots of choices for everyone--including vegans, meat eaters, and eclectics. The staff is friendly, helpful, and efficient. Our food arrived quickly--absolutely no complaints. For a table with one vegan, one latina, and one low cal/high fiber/ low fat eaters it was a good trick. We all wished they were open for supper. Great place in an area where you can have pizza or burgers 1,000 ways, but anything else is rare.”
