The Post Sports Bar & Grill

If you’re looking for a lively sports bar in Rockford with great food and plenty of TVs, The Post Sports Bar & Grill is a solid choice. Located in a convenient spot with ample parking, this place draws in crowds for game nights, casual dinners, and drinks with friends.

Atmosphere & Service
The vibe here is exactly what you’d expect from a sports bar—energetic, casual, and packed with memorabilia from local teams. The multiple big-screen TVs ensure you won’t miss a play, no matter where you’re seated. The staff is friendly and efficient, though during peak hours (especially on game nights), service can slow down a bit. Still, the servers are attentive and happy to accommodate special requests.

Food & Drinks
The menu is classic sports bar fare with a few standout dishes. I ordered the Post Burger, which came perfectly medium-rare with crispy bacon and melted cheddar. The fries were well-seasoned and not overly greasy. Their buffalo wings (I got the spicy garlic flavor) were crispy and had just the right amount of heat. The loaded nachos were massive—great for sharing.

For drinks, they have a decent selection of local and domestic beers on tap, along with reasonably priced cocktails. Their game-day specials (like $5 drafts during NFL Sundays) make it a great spot for budget-friendly fun.

Pricing & Wait Times
Prices are fair—most burgers and sandwiches run between $12-$16, and appetizers are around $8-$12. The portions are generous, so you definitely get your money’s worth. The only downside is that it can get very crowded during major sports events, so arriving early is key if you want a good seat.

Great place to watch sports, great burgers and friendly staff too!

Great place, good food. The pork tenderloin sandwich is HUGE! I was able to make 2 sandwiches from it. The tots were crispy and seasoned well-not too salty. Bartender was really nice. Would definitely come back.

Excellent burgers. Ready when I said that I would be there to pick them up. Pleasant and courteous staff.

Hand made burgers very good will be back i suggest you give it a try

Came for the Bloody Mary's one Sunday and had a blast with the bartender and cook who both have a great sense of humor. (They needed one that day lol)

Would definitely come back again.

Waited well over an hour for our food. People that came in way after us received their food way before us. When we asked if our food would be coming soon the waitress said, with an attitude, see all these people and the small space we have to cook with. Umm ok, then make it better for your customers. This is the absolute last time we will be back. We stopped there to celebrate a birthday and we were so greatly disappointed. I hope they figure things out, for their sake.

I waited for over an hour and a half for my food and after the first 45 mins I asked our waitress how much longer it would be as my 7 year old was getting "hangry" she had said we were next... that wasn't true. Once we reached the hour and a half mark I went to the counter to ask the waitress how much longer it would be and the blonde lady that was cooking turned around and said to me "This isn't fast food" I replied and said I understand it's not fast food but I placed my order an hour and a half ago and still have nothing. Kind of disappointing when other customers that came in after me were getting there food cooked and served while my family and I waited and waited. We only received the tacos because the cook was holding the grilled cheese basically proving to me that she could move even slower with our food! We paid for 3 tacos, grilled cheese and fries, and boneless wings. After an hour and 50 mins we walked out and only had the tacos as she never cooked our wings and was holding the grilled cheese hostage because she didn't like that I asked how much longer! Needless to say we will never be eating there again!!!! I've called to ask to speak to a Michelle McDonald and of course she wasn't there. Go figure!!! Worst experience ever!!!! The lady who was cooking was unprofessional, rude, and had no manners what so ever. I talked to a few friends who said that they have had similar experiences and that the owner/manager won't do anything so that just goes to show ya get what ya pay for!!!!!

The burgers were very good. It also had a rubber duck claw machine, so I decided to play it and got a double! The service was also outstanding.
