“I honestly don't usually review fast food restaurants, but wanted to give a shout-out to this one. It's an emotional day for us, as we're saying goodbye tomorrow to a beloved little dog. We know she's always begged hardest for Arby's sandwiches, so we stopped here, picked up our mobile order, and because the weather was finally beautiful, sat on the grass verge to give her this treat.

A very kind employee, during a lull in the drive-thru, saw us again and called out her window to us, asking if we wanted some dog treats. We said we would, and she quickly left the building with a handful for us before we could meet her at the window.

She didn't know it was our last day with our beloved pet, but it really means a lot when people take a minute to care on a difficult day. Thank you. Wish we had a thousand more happy drive-thru days.“

“Watch the prices they will overcharge you. Never give you a receipt either. Then deny it. Shady. Food is good though.“

“Best place for burger!!! love the new location. people say its $$ but not really since quality is aeesome! worth every dollar. now the fries are to die for and SOOOO much. five guys is a 5☆“

“I loved going here for lunch! You order through a kiosk, which I think makes it a little hard to order the food you like. The great food makes up for this, though! I also like how you can get extras of something, like cheese or sour cream. The sauces are good, too, and they also add some extra flavor. I would definitely 10/10 come here again.“

“Saturday 6/11 we ordered $96 worth of food at the East State location. Went to pick it up and the owner asked what we needed. We stated we order food and gave her our name. She was lscrambling and said she doesn’t have an order for us. We ordered it online and she found it. She gave us 3 bags. We wanted to open them to make sure everything was there. She said “ I personally bagged the order, it’s all there,” in a sarcastic tone. Okay since she’s the owner we took her word for it. Got home and we’re missing 4 items. Called her to credit the debit card and she said she couldn’t but can give us a gift card for the amount. Food was hot, quality was pretty good. But honestly I won’t ever go back. For being the owner, and a local restaurant she was not friendly and didn’t even Thank us when we left. She needs training on how to greet and thank her customers. Paninos…STEP UP YOUR GAME!“

“Possibly the best Thin crust pizza I've had...will Absolutely Return!!
My friend convinced me to try this place. We were in town visiting, but didn't have more than an hour or so til we had to meet up with everyone from the group...
This place ended up being a perfect spot with Great Pizza and Salads!
You basically get to build your own pizza...from thin or thick crust, to your base sauce, all the way through your cheeses and toppings.
The pizza turned out perfect. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable, and the flow/vibe of the restaurant fits perfectly with what they have going on!
Highly recommend checking out!!“

“They have the meats lol. Chicken swiss n bacon was so yummy mozzarella sticks too. Worth the wait but i will phone ahead next time“

“It awesome“

“Mr.j's has some Awesome Food and is a very nice place to eat and the PEOPLE THAT ARE WORKING THERE ARE VERY POLITE AND VERY NICE AND THE FOOD THERE IS DECENT PRICED“

“Chilly dog was excellent. Just a surprise when I got home and finished my drink. This was in the bottom of my cup. Looks like a nozzle from the cola machine. 😬“

“Triple A service and great sandwich“

“I was VERY impressed with their attention to details when it came to taking precautions. Great job employees! I noticed them!“

“Pulled over from highway on vacation to eat here. Clean restaurant with peaceful music in background. Very clean bathrooms. Very organized staff. Came at lunch rush where kids come from local school but manager was quick and courteous in managing taking the many orders in no time. Standard DQ food. Would definitely recommend.“

“Arby’s has a special place in my life not just because of the food but because of the tradition I have tied to it. The Beef and Cheddar and curly fries are always my go to. There is something about the warm roast beef piled high, the cheddar sauce, and the soft onion roll that hits perfectly. When you add the seasoned curly fries it turns into the ultimate comfort meal.

What makes it even more meaningful is that I only eat Arby’s once a year after I have a successful deer hunt. It has become my reward and celebration and something I look forward to all season long. That first bite of a Beef and Cheddar after a hard earned hunt is unbeatable.

Arby’s is not just fast food for me. It is part of a tradition, a marker of success, and a reminder to enjoy life’s simple but satisfying rewards.“

“Nice little place They are friendly“

“I just want to say that I love coming to this Burger King. The food and service is always great and the workers here are very kind. I wish all fast food restaurants were like this, but I'm glad this one exists. Thank you to the staff for always making everyone feel welcome here. Cheers“

“VERY impressed with the PPE and social distancing displayed at this location ! That coupled with the fact that they were quite busy and the food was fresh, hot, and served in a timely manner !! Kudos to the employees at the Phelps Culver's location!❤“

“Culver’s has always had nice staff and restaurants. But over the past year or so the quality of there food has sunk low. Cheap buns. Cheaper less tasty toppings the sides aren’t the same as they once were. Not a higher quality food that we used to expect from Culver’s food chain.“

“Very nice place, inside is very clean & visually appealing. Also was very quick, brought out the food to our table quickly & asked if we needed anything else. I rate this place & their staff a 10/10

Also 100% best gyro place in town“

“I was very pleased with the service today. I had ordered a large Carmel iced coffee and asked it to be made a little sweeter since the one the day before had such a strong coffee taste. When I got it was absolutely perfect. The fries were lukewarm but still had a great taste and my Big Mac was very saucy, messy to eat, but very tasty. Also, the girl taking my order was very helpful with the questions that I asked while ordering. The only thing lacking was the large fry was on the skimpy side as the container was not even full.“

“Stopped by for a bite. Hands down the best Wendy's I've ever had. They salted the fries PERFECTLY. It was near the end of the day and they just gave us double patties for the price of singles. Very balanced flavor. We were genuinely super impressed! Staff was also chill.“

“I had an issue with my sandwich made by one of the workers, but Gi'anni was extremely accommodating and helpful with resolving the matter. She was very understanding and ensured that I left satisfied. Top tier employee, wishing her the absolute best!!!“

“I wanna start by saying the food and employees haven't been an issue once for me but the app is another story. Every time I try to click contact us on the app or the web It allows me to fill everything out but won't let me.submut it. So now it's being left as a review for everyone to see instead of just the company. I will be deleting the app once I have my money refunded to my account AGAIN. I've ordered / tried to order food on your app I wanna say at least 12-13 times this month, out of those 12-13 times I got charged for my order but the app says error and doesn't send over the order at least 8 or 9 times. But the worse part is not only do I get charged for the food and have to wait for a refund I then can't even get the food I was trying to order / the price because it's online exclusive items / pricing. I have to buy my food again and end up losing my rewards points on top of paying more for the food. Just complete garbage of an app.But like I said I'll be deleting it after I get my money refunded again and just stick to the other fast food chains that I haven't had an issue with.“

“Great sandwiches, good food , nice people , clean“

“The Steak ‘n Shake in Rockford, Illinois, is a classic stop that always delivers a great meal and a friendly experience. From the moment you walk in, the staff greets you with welcoming smiles and quick service. The restaurant is clean, comfortable, and has that nostalgic diner feel that makes it a perfect spot to relax and enjoy good food.The burgers are always cooked to perfection—juicy, flavorful, and made fresh to order. The Double Steakburger with cheese is a favorite, cooked just right and topped with crisp lettuce and tomato. The fries come out hot and crispy every time, and the milkshakes truly live up to their reputation. Whether it’s the classic chocolate or a seasonal flavor, each shake is thick, creamy, and delicious.What really stands out here is the consistency and kindness of the staff. Even during busier hours, orders come out correctly, and the team keeps things moving efficiently. It’s a great place for families, road trip stops, or anyone craving an old-fashioned burger and shake combo. Steak ‘n Shake Rockford continues to deliver great value, tasty food, and the kind of service that keeps you coming back. Live your best life!“
