“Holy cow! These ribs are the best I’ve ever had, seriously! Highly recommended!!! My boyfriend and I were driving by and decided to stop in for a quick drink. After meeting Aubrey and frEddie, we were sold! Super friendly service and hometown atmosphere made our stay longer than planned. We heard about the Saturday special with the ribs, baked beans and cornbread among a long list of other pork items we did not get, at least this time. We recommended Fast Eddies to any rib lovers out there! I considered them to beat anything ribs I had at ribs feast last year. The passion for the BBQ shined through every bite I ate. Great jobs guys! We will return soon.“

“Stokes is the “Cheers” of Janesville. It has been the gathering place for many generations of Janesvillians dating back to the Wisconsin Club days. The giant W bar is the coolest bar lay out! Friendly staff, honest drinks, and great bar food make this my favorite Janesville pub.“

“my friends Meghan and Adam told me if i want a great burger, i got to go to Charlie's. so on saturday i decided to check it out. i got a tall captain and coke, ordered the charlie burger with steak fries to go. when i got home i ate it and they were right. the charlie burger was the best burger i have had in a long time. i'm going to get another one tomorrow.“

“I stopped in here on a late Monday evening. My first time in Janesville and it was for work, flight was late, nothing was open. SO happy I did! It’s a fun spot, very chill inside. I didn’t get to see the rooftop, which was a bummer (guess I have to go back!). Bartender was amazing, she cooked and served. Gave an excellent recommendation - their Buffalo chicken wrap and tots. It was heaven! They had a pool table, a dart board, and slots ? Hoghly recommend!“

“The best fish fry and chicken tenders I’ve had!“

“One of our favorite go-to places.
Food is always amazing.
Sadly, they don't have the mimosas available all day like they used to (they were my absolute favorite), but we still love coming to O'Riley & Conway's for some scotch eggs, fish dinner, monster Ruben, and drinks.
I recommend the grasshopper too. Amazing!“

“large place, Friday night was busy and kinda loud, but the food and service was outstanding! will definitely be back!“

“local neighborhood bar. Fun and games. Vodka infused Bloody Mary's.“

“Well I have been here a few times a few years ago, Sneaker Burger is always so good! This time I brought several para-athletes. There was one low table, however, they brought a folding table out to accommodate our group which was awesome!
The food, well, I know it's been a few years but the Sneaker burger was still great. The chips that came with were more bits and pieces. My BF got a cheeseburger and onion rings. Onion rings were really good. The chicken choke wrap was good.
It's a bar so keep in that in mind...not a place for salad.
I was surprised that with the burger there was additional cost for mayo, lettuce, tomato and onion on the burger. Had that been noted we wouldn't have opted on one of the burgers.
The service, while friendly, was not attentative for drinks (I had to get up and ask for refill and water). It was about 230 so I think the bartender was running.
Will I be back next time I am in the area? Yes, again, the sneaker burger is delicious, however, I hope I remember the nickle-diming.“

“I had the Bluegills for fish fry last night. MUCH improved and DELICIOUS!! Thanks, Keith!! My go-to place for Bluegills now!! And the roast beef on Thursdays can’t be beat!!“
