“Delicious burgers and a friendly atmosphere!“

“Being a beer-only guy who likes variety, I have enjoyed the well-curated draft selection at Wood and Brick. The location is great, being within walking distance of Embassy Suites, the BMO Center and Coronado. When you arrive at Wood and Brick you'll enjoy an atmosphere created by the owners' meticulous renovation that updated the bar to its hey-day era while leaving all of the warmth and charm of a location that for decades has been a cozy and safe spot in downtown Rockford to enjoy a drink and have a friendly conversation with other patrons. If you like a neat and clean venue with friendly owners who have respectfully preserved the best of its past, you'll enjoy Wood and Brick! Cheers!“

“great crowd, great drinks and a lot of fun!“

“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!“

“Cute place! The drinks were well priced and they had a lot of variety. The bands (Silhouette and Taboo Blah Blah) were excellent, and the environment was fun! The only thing I would improve on is the size - it is a little small considering the crowd that was there!“

“Cool place.Nice vibe and atmosphere. Mostly younger crowd. Eclectic seating furniture adds to the charm. Board games and other fun items to play with friends while having a cocktail. Parking lot by bar.“

“Great mid-west, family owned, neighborhood pub. You'll never be served by a better group of bartenders either. The name Rockview might not sound familiar but "the bar on woodruff" or "the bar by the viaduct on Broadway " should jog your memory.“

“Food is second to none!!! Best Smash Burgers in Rockford hands down!“

“Parking: There is a social services office across the street that closes at 4-5pm and there are approximately 30 spaces available.

Kid-friendliness: The dining room is large and plenty of room for children.

Wheelchair accessibility: The dining room and bar area are 7 steps below street level but there is an elevator chair that glides down safely.“

“It’s an amazing atmosphere“

“It's a very nice clean regular bar where all the regulars come tell their day time stories or their week stories whatever and it's all been redone on the inside so it's very clean very nice looking. They also offer games like darts there's TVs and I was there for a birthday party so I imagine they have other things I just didn't get to see everything but like I said it's a great local bar and it's very clean and the regulars like to have a lot of fun yet I found that it was not cliquish at all and everybody was very inclusive and wants what your favorite drink to get to know you even wanted to find out what your favorite drink is, nobody was standoffish are snotty or playing Mean girls because it's their bar, that's not the vibe at all, the vibe is come in have fun enjoy yourself and then go home and have a nice night that's the vibe I got from there! They also have Dart leagues that go to Vegas! Let's put it this way if it wasn't so far away from my home I would make it my local Watering Hole but I'm still glad that I got to visit it. If anybody out there agrees with my review please just simply press the like button! Thank you“

“Didn't see food options, drinks were good. Bartender was nice and took care of us. Crowd was easy going, playing darts, shuffle board and pool. They have a few TVs with different options. Clean and good smelling bar! Definitely a little gem I would've never known was there if it wasn't for a friend.“

“Great place to get a good meal and drink“

“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 came for one reason: the patty melt….and it did not disappoint! It’s not rocket science…the kitchen staff here have it figured out, delish! Our server Lana was there exactly when needed, despite the fact that she and the restaurant were very busy. Reasonable prices and a nice tap beer selection…overall an exceptional dining experience!“

“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.“

“I had my father's flag folded & placed in his shadow box. it was beautiful to have done by these angels of God. I appreciated it so very much. Thank you all for the support.“

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

“They have awesome music here every weekend and a good drink selection. It always has clean beer lines and an updated cold beer system. It also offers tasty pizza and I love the 'Bago Fries. This bar has a comfy game room, a pool table and darts. Plenty of parking. Also you can get copies of The PAPER here, which is always a plus...

Parking: Many parking spots all around the building.

Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp in the back and main floor wheelchair entryway in the front.“

“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.“

“I stopped by Whiskey Roadhouse after reading reviews that they had a good breakfast buffet. They do. It's Sunday 10-2p and it's very good food for a very reasonable price. The staff work very hard cooking and stocking the buffet with quality food but it's hard to keep up at times when a large group of hungry folk descend on the buffet at the same time, so be patient. Food will be out shortly and it's worth the wait. Very friendly place. If there is something that you need, just ask and they'll get it for you.“

“First time patron & it did not disappoint!!! Megan was a wonderful server & helped each of us decide which dish best met our preferences. The food was delicious, the desserts were decadent & the mixologist made a wonderful salted caramel martini! Definitely recommend!!“

“My son has been participating in the Middle School Bowling and Summer/Fall Leagues for a couple of years now and we’ve had the most exciting times! Ms. Patty and the staff are very patient and supportive of the kids!Every kid gets to participate and feel welcome! Highly recommended 10/10“

“This is my most favorite spot to be. It’s became like a home to me. I love everything that they have done to this place. The owners and the bartenders make every moment memorable. I love my Rue ❤️“

“Where to start...The atmosphere is awesome with a small town feel about it. The Fried Chicken was exceptional and the sides were very good. The service was also very good. We dined there after spending the time at an Apple Orchard nearby. The whole experience was exceptional. Keep it y'all!“

“Clean friendly atmosphere. Decent selection including good Scotch. A little pricey. Staff and customers were friendly. They carry THE PAPER. Easy parking close to entrance. Nice, clean bathrooms, which is the standard for measuring any bar or restaurant.“

“Great place to get a dinner with friends“
