Came here for lunch mid week. Very disappointed to say the least. The first thing I noticed when we were seated was that the floor was filthy with food and crumbs. My chair also had crumbs on it that I had to brush off to sit down. Looking around you could tell that the floor had not been vacuumed before they opened. It was bad.The French fries were hard and cold. We mentioned it to the server and she admitted that they were not fresh fried. Seriously? And she served them?? She mumbled something about the kitchen and promptly brought a fresh batch to the table. The food in general was mediocre. It has been a couple of years since I have eaten here. It used to be really good and not so much now. Probably won’t be back.

Stopped here on a whim as our roadtrip took us around Rockford and we were hungry. Had the chicken wings (the special), fries, and buffalo chicken mac and cheese. Food was all delicious. Just the right amount of kick and cheese was creamy and tasty. Inside is an old tavern vibe. Staff is friendly. Definitely recommend!

I've owned 6 restaurants In chicago, elmhurst and Naperville.we moved from elmhurst to open another restaurant in rockford we have stopped here since we couldn't find 1 good restaurant in this town.this place was highly recommended from our neighbors and some bikers.we have found this establishment to be very good with high quality and quantity of food with a awsome price. I've had about 1/2 of everything on the menu the owner was very nice and use to ride.
Had a ribeye steak which was good and cooked perfectly. Only complaint was there was no bread or rolls which was a huge disappointment. That should be included with any good meal.
We picked Valentine’s Day to go to the Olympic because it’s beautiful. So we were seated in a room off to the side…it was like we were in the garage..so disappointing. We asked to be moved and was willing to wait they said no problem and never did and the food was ok. First time we took our daughter and it was a major disappointment!!! Should have went with second choice…. Francesco’s.!!! Try again in a few years maybe

I have been in Rockford for 18+ years and from my first experience at The Olympic to the one tonight. The food was fresh and hot, wait staff attentive to our needs. This truly is a gem of a restaurant on the Northwest side of Rockford.Thursday nights are board game nights and oysters are discounted too. Excellent!

Wow. Dissatisfied meal. My salad looked like it was two weeks old and soup was a Salt lick. I used to love the Olympic. Too bad, lost a customer.

Awesome food and Amanda's service was great! Beer selection just ok in winter months. Can't wait for warm weather for the deck to open along with summer Beer selections.
