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

“Great subway.
Food is great in taste,temperature,and quality.
Conveniently located near I-39 and inside Love’s Travel Stop.
Employees are very friendly.”

“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.”

“I mean, it's inside a gas station so consider that if you're looking for a place to eat - don't expect Michelin star service, but the pizza is awesome and the staff is very friendly - sometimes that's all you need!”

“we went for breakfast it was excellent. service was friendly. portions were large. Will diffently be back.”

“We celebrated my daughter's high school graduation there. We had 12 people total and the food was delicious, the drinks were on point, the service was exceptional, and the environment was amazing! They truly made our experience special, and my daughter said it was the perfect way to celebrate her big day! I would highly recommend celebrating any occasion, big or small, at Salamone's! They will treat you right! 🎉”

“I kept seeing posts of the food and I just had to try it! I am typically very picky about my authentic Mexican food. Me and my boyfriend were extremely pleased from the portions, people and flavor 10/10!! We will definitely be back! We had the delight of trying the tacos, quesadillas, and elote all 🔥🔥🔥 not to mention, the strawberry dragon fruit drink!!🤤😋 this is a MUST try and I can't wait for my next visit 😊.”

“Wonderful breakfast place! We highly recommend the Swedish pancakes and the biscuits and gravy. They also served me the best hash browns I've eaten in many years. Ask for them extra crispy!”

“Great food for a decent price. Friendly staff”

“The birthday cake I ordered was absolutely delicious! It was moist, flavorful, and the frosting was just right—not too sweet. I will definitely be back for future orders.”

“The second time to dine at John's and it is now our favorite restaurant in Rockford and possibly the whole world. Calamari was exquisite, best I've ever had. Seafood stuffed red snapper was phenomenal. My husband said that his pizza may very well be the best he's ever had. We are from Freeport, but we will be driving to Rockford just to eat at John's.”

“We had a fantastic time at this bar. The ambiance was perfect—relaxed yet lively, with good music and a cozy vibe. The bartender (Caroline??) truly made the experience even better. Her customer service was top-notch! She was friendly, attentive, and made sure my our drinks were always full. If you’re looking for a great place to unwind with excellent service, this is the spot. Highly recommend!”

“In town for work rn, stopped in to do some laundry and ordered some food and a few beers. Friendly home town vibe with cheap brews can’t be beat.”

“We have loved every drink & pastry from My Cafè Amorè! Morgan is an absolute angel and has allowed our Girl Scouts to have their Christmas parties there which have been magical. If you need a pick me up, a great place to catch up with a friend, or somewhere to bring the toddlers while you’re having a snack break; this is your coffee shop!”

“What a great time, loved it here.
Great customers. We had so much fun.
We are in town for our anniversary
Watched the Cubs vs Brewers game
Great food and service.”

“1 of my favorite hangouts!!!! Love this place!”

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

“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!”

“We have hosted multiple gatherings (up to 15 people, ranging in age from toddler to adult)and have always had a great experience. The menu offers something for everyone, from burgers to shrimp, and always delicious. Desserts are great, also. I would like to also mention the staff~ servers are always attentive and polite. We will continue to host gatherings there!”

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

“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!”

“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.”
