35 Best American Restaurants in Rockford

“Jim at Market Place was fantastic! I couldn't have asked for a better experience. He was helpful, polite, and super kind. Thank you sir!“

“The Tavern on Clark is amazing! My daughter and I were traveling from out of town and were recommended this place! The manager went out of his way to accommodate us and find us a table. They were so busy. We didn’t have a reservation. But he was so kind and helpful, working out a way for us to have a wonderful dinner! Our server was so efficient. The food was as delicious as we were hoping! Literally my daughter’s burger was HUGE! The potato fries were cooked to perfection. I had a BBQ chicken salad that was so fresh and tasted amazing! We come to Rockford for soccer a few times a year. We will be back for sure!“

“First time eating here last week. If you want great biscuits and gravy, this is your place. Will definitely be back.“

“We reached out to the owner Paul Sletten and team to support a last minute private party at our house, as we had experienced his excellent food first hand from his Abreo restaurant over the years. His catering manager, Elliott, promptly responded with an email explaining their wide range of creative options and costs. We selected our desired dishes and several days later we we met Elliott from his team as he delivered and set up the food with minimal direction. Everyone at the party noted how great the food was (we took all the credit). We would highly recommend Abreo for their catering quality and variety. What a great experience. Well done Abreo and Team!“

“The food is good considering it's not considered fine dining and the price is right. I always enjoy looking around at the merchandise they have.“

“garret here is a racist traitor to his country“

“We decided to check this place out, we were not disappointed. The food is pretty good.“

“I love this place. Legit is one of the only reasons I even bother to go to the Cherry Vale Mall. They always have good service. They always have everything done in a timely manner even if you order multiple smoothies, shakes, anything really.“

“VERY impressed with the PPE and social distancing displayed at this location ! That coupled with the fact that they were quite busy and the food was fresh, hot, and served in a timely manner !! Kudos to the employees at the Phelps Culver's location!❤“

“I was VERY impressed with their attention to details when it came to taking precautions. Great job employees! I noticed them!“

“We ordered the Thanksgiving dinner to pick up and it was top notch!!! We will do it again. Thank you for taking the stress out of this day.“

“Clean friendly atmosphere. Decent selection including good Scotch. A little pricey. Staff and customers were friendly. They carry THE PAPER. Easy parking close to entrance. Nice, clean bathrooms, which is the standard for measuring any bar or restaurant.“

“Great food, friendly service, and a facility which is both clean and eye-catching. Definitely one of THE places to eat in downtown Rockford.“

“LOVE THIS PLACE - my go to on Wednesdays is their wings. The boneless wings are huge, and they are house made. Fresh chicken chunks that they hand bread and fry, no frozen garbage here. If I’m feeling a sandwich, their Italian beef is the GOAT. Slow roasted in house, tons of meat.. my favorite part is they have mild and hot gardeniere to choose from. Don’t forget to add the Parmesan truffle for you tots. The service and staff is also outstanding, we love coming on Tuesday nights for trivia to see Monica. Always a joy to see Rachel for wings during our lunch break, Saturday brunches with Jerrica! Shout out to Andrew for running one of the greatest Rockford staples - YOU DA BOMB!“

“Culver’s has always had nice staff and restaurants. But over the past year or so the quality of there food has sunk low. Cheap buns. Cheaper less tasty toppings the sides aren’t the same as they once were. Not a higher quality food that we used to expect from Culver’s food chain.“

“Super Great Food, Cold Drinks and Amazing Service! Truly! We LOVE this restaurant! You have to come and check it out!! You won't be disappointed! The best! xo“

“First time customer, so here's my review. Service very good young lady very friendly and polite. The gyros surprisingly was very good and full filling. Not a cringle cut fry fan they give you a cup of cheese if you order cheese fries. Video machines a little loud but I got carry out, otherwise would be annoying. The prices are comparable to Uncle Nick's or Tom and Jerry's. I will be back and recommend them“

“Awesome friendly people with great bartenders“

“Have lived in the area for over 50 years, but somehow missed out on this amazing place until today! Great food, very unique and eclectic atmosphere and super friendly staff. Prices can't be beat! Don't forget your cash though, cause they don't accept credit ?“

“I loved the food and excellent service“

“I am proud to recommend Mrs Craig Vanessa for a selfless and reliable investment service. I was constantly looking for a reliable platform to invest and my friend introduced me to her platform and I realized this is the best platform to invest on because she maintains discipline in her investment relationship and strategies to ensure the complete transparency and credibility of her investors. She helped me gained $16,000 with just a capital of $2,000. If you want to be financially successful invest with her ASAP via WhatsApp through Facebook: Mrs Craig Vanessa“

“Food is like home made ! Very recomended“

“I was in there yesterday good food for good prices met the owner absolutely wonderful man restaurant was clean friendly staff“

“Went on a Thursday. Got there at 6:30pm and dinner came out at 7:45. We did have an appetizer and salad to start, which came out not too badly timed, but that was a long visit and the place was packed. Our server was super busy!!! In that, she was attentive and had a good sense of humor. Overall, first experience was positive. The food was good but not a lot of options for a person that doesn't eat steak. And yes, Steakhouse is in the name 🤣🤣. I get it....

So... three adults:
2 alcoholic drinks
1 appetizer
Bread and butter
3 salads
3 entrees (the Longhorn with signature sides; the chicken tenders (small) with signature sides; lemon garlic chicken with standard sides)
1 free ice cream dessert
$130.... really not terrible.“
