Nice bar with friendly and attentive staff. The bartenders and waitresses we're quick to get us our drinks and the food we ordered was delicious and presented in a timely manner. I got a tavern chicken, which was a grilled chicken breast served on a toasted bun with all the fixings.. My wife orderd the prime rib stack and hers was honestly delicious. I had to stop myself from grabbing hers and selfishly eating it all. Anyways, the place was busy because of the live band we were there to see.. However, they still managed to take care of all of demands in a timely basis. The band was awesome and the drinks were cold and delivered promptly.. We will definitely be back.

If YOU have a sensitive tongue or just a "PANSY TONGUE"....READ THE INGREDIENTS first, BEFORE ordering!! Don't assume....Ordered To-Go 3 Loaded Brisket Mac, 1 Large Sweet Potatoe Fries, & 1 Screw City Nachos w/ jalopenos on the side. (I ended up throwing Nachos away...my fault...read below ...)The Good...TastyGood TemperatureOrder CorrectMY EXPERIENCE:The Loaded Brisket Mac was good.The Sweet Potatoe Waffle Fries hit the SPOT! **I was told, The chef thought he over cooked them, it was the last batch, so no charged. Wow!! First restaurant to do that! HONESTLY, they were probably the best CRISPY Sweet Potatoe Fries I've ever had...CRISPY, but NOT HARD!NOW to the heat.....The Screw City Nachos w/ jalopenos on the side....WERE Very spicy!! The taste...spice lingered after...My tongue was in recover from experiencing "burnt tongue"...which did not help. It was so good though!!! I'd try to eat around the spice...at first, couldn't figure out...was it the BBQ sauce or the cheese...wait there's cut up jalopenos...Went back & read the description...Pico de Gallo & Hog Wild Hot BBQ Sauce...I did not see the sour cream.It was so tasty, but my tongue was feelin the heat!!Anyways, I assumed the only spice would be the jalopenos and asked for them on the side.**NO FILTERS Added on pics**It sucks going to the restaurant & finding out well, it looks nothing like the picture!

Was very unwelcoming atmosphere. Ordered a few beers left , didn’t leave a tip. The bartender made me feel like I just didn’t belong and I wouldn’t return or recommend to anyone.

Decided to check this place out with a friend. Environment was okay, pretty clean. Staff was friendly. Music was loud, and it only got louder when the karaoke started. Beer selection was slightly above average (in that although they had typical lawnmower beers, they also had a few craft and 1 custom brew on tap). Nice enough place, but probably wouldn't come back.

More of a restaurant than a bar. I think most people were there for food. The bar was okay, not that big or welcoming. Bartender was curt and not friendly for a first time customer. I asked. No specials. Saw sign for $4.50 PB&J Whiskey. Asked for a double. Made the mistake of ordering on the rocks. My math says $9. Was charged $14. So that ice cost me $5. It’s just ICE!!!

Amazing!! The food is the quality of an upscale restaurant. Good selection of beers on tap.

Everything was great great food Nice service. I'd recommend it to all my friends!

Came here on a Karaoke night and we all had dinner and drinks. Our server and service was great. I had the Mac n Cheese -bacon , noodles were not over cooked and just right and the beer cheese blend was yummy. Definitely would like to come back for Karaoke with friends again.

We came from out of town for an event. We had noticed something came out of our account that had made us have to go cheaper. The server (Melissa) really helped us out. The food was great, better than we expected, we only got pop so can't testify for the drinks, but we will definitely be coming back when we come back to rockford!

We went there for Comedy night and dinner. Our food was delicious. I’m not really a bar person anymore but will probably order some food to go. I had the Macaroni and Brisket. I could eat that every day.
