“Wish I knew name of girl who bartends on weekdays during day... I go in for lunch from work and she is always so nice.
She's knows by now that I love the soups so she greets me, then, tells mr the soup of day. Lol!
Soups are always amazing! Whoever makes them is great cook!
In fact, never had bad food here! Grilled chicken salad- best I've had!
Burgers and sandwiches are incredible!
Service is always fabulous!
Go to Oscar's! They are wonderful place in Rockford!“
