“great small town atmosphere with amazing food, service, and Bloody Mary's!”

“So the first time I was there was amazing, today I went in and asked what came in a wrap and Jolie the bartender who didn’t even say hi just slapped napkins on the bar as asked what she could get us, when asked what was in a certain wrap, said I don’t know I don’t sell those… I myself walked back by the bathroom to ask the cook what was in it. She was less than unpersonable and only cared about her phone that was “hidden” under the bar. We were a three top and had to ask for our check…….I work in the service industry and we left strictly because of her mood and service.”

“Today is my first time here and I have to say I will 1000% be back. I ordered the 2 piece fried chicken and it was nice and juicy. Very tasteful. Can wait to come back to try something else. I also have to say the staff is very friendly and welcoming. Thank you again for a great meal.”

They will treat you right! 🎉”

“The atmosphere is vibrant and authentically local, providing a great space to relax and enjoy a casual evening with an excellent selection of beverages. The interior has a clean and modern yet industrial feel, which creates a comfortable and high-energy environment that works well for both small groups and larger gatherings. I was impressed by the staff, who were knowledgeable about the menu and provided quick, friendly service even as the room began to fill up with a lively crowd. The food options are well-crafted and offer a nice step up from standard fare, featuring fresh ingredients and great presentation that reflects a high standard of quality. It is a well-managed establishment that maintains a professional yet laid-back vibe, making it a reliable destination for anyone looking for a polished and inviting neighborhood spot.

“amazing place...it's like Cheers where everybody knows your name.”

“First time I have been there and I have no complaints. TNT just happened to be close to my work. A friend and I wanted to grab a burger. So we gave it a try. Had the Rodeo Burger. Way bigger than I expected and very good. Nice Job TNT. We sat at the bar and the staff and patrons were really welcoming. That was really nice as we had never been there. We will put this place in the lunch ration. I recommend this place.”

“try everything amazing especially the meatloaf and their breakfast”

“Best place in town! Locally owned, friendly & very welcoming! Owners and staff remember you and get to know you. Surely makes you feel like family. Food is ALWAYS exceptional for all day, I’m particular to their breakfast (served all day), but lunch and dinner meals are great too!”

“These are some fine folks! Excellent food, top notch service. Kind of like a “Cheers” spot for us in that they know your name and what you drink and are always on their game! The servers work very hard and the cooks are excellent. Owner is very approachable and a good guy. Get on their text list so you know when the smoked corned beef reubens are available! Highly recommend!”

“Found this lil restaurant by accident, and we were so fortunate!!! The atmosphere is great and the food is amazing. We asked our server Yasmine what she recommended and we followed her advice. I had the “Chicago Sandwich (i think)” while my wife had the Lasagna. Both were over the top great and highly recommend these to anyone, side note- she was super friendly and excellent in service.”

“Food is second to none!!! Best Smash Burgers in Rockford hands down!”

“We love Diesta, she is the best! Highly recommend Lucky Dog!”
