“Quiet, folksy place with good food. My wife and I both had fried chicken. It was outstanding. Meat was moist, and the skin was lightly battered and crispy. Service was decent. Slow but friendly. Overall, it was a very good experience. We’ll be going back.“
“I stopped by to have a soda and to grab an application for a job , looked at the menuTo familiarize myself because I’m a cook, I decided to order the corn beef sandwich, I’ve always said you know a restaurant makes good food if the corn beef sandwiches are good, i was very impressed with it . Will definitely be back , excellent service and place is very clean . Definitely a hidden gem in pecatonica , a must stop if you’re hungry.“
“We were in town for an event and decided to give Bootie’s a try for breakfast. We were pleasantly surprised! We had a Denver omelette and the everything skillet (no tomatoes). The serving sizes were good and very reasonably priced! This is definitely a place for locals. That is the only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars. Locals definitely got better service.“
“Food is far above expectation for Ogle Co. Dining . Service is fabulous. Downfall is that we have never eaten here and not had super wasted obnoxious beer drinking idiots playing pool. Seems like a bad business plan to drive away people spending lots of money on food for a bunch of people that drive customers away. The pool table is inconveniently placed by the front door so you have to walk awkwardly around a crowd of inebriated fools to get to your table. Every time we have come here people just get up and leave due to the rowdy folks blocking the front door and the access to the gaming machines. That being said. The food and the service (truly a rare find in these parts) outweigh the cons for our family.Kid-friendliness: I would not recommend bringing small children here. At all. My kids are big boys and not sheltered. Normal children would not fare well in this environment.“
“For a small town bar, this place is pretty cool. They have a huge bar, gaming room (of course), plenty of seating, and a gated concrete slab for outdoor seating, music, and a game of bags! Plus, the staff was cool as hell. Can you ask for more than that?“
“Ever since my go-to Chicago Dog restaurant closed I've been on a search for a place in Rockford that does Chicago Dogs right (not as easy as one may think) and I finally found the spot! They serve up the perfect dog with just the right combo of toppings and crunch.“
“There are several bars in Byron, all within several feet of each other. With that said Uptown is the unique one. It has a bowling alley. Also they tend to go off road with their food. The have unique twist on regular restaurant and bar food. They are like the Burger King in the sea of McDonald's. You have to go there at times to break the monotony.“
“This place is a lost gem! The owners are hard-working people. Every time I come in the people are friendly and the place is clean. They hosted a car show a couple of years back and I loved buying a drink and hot dog and walking through the cars. Hopefully, they do more stuff like that in the coming years.“
“Can't complain. Pretty good. Worth a shot, owner was very welcoming. The west side definitely needed this restaurant!!!!! Born and raised over here and this is the first restaurant in the 26 years I've been here that has everything we need!!! Look past the old reviews.. I went here about a year ago and it has been a complete turn around from what it was. If you're in the area, definitely give them a shot !!“
“Soooo I had the jerk shrimp chicken and salmon rice bowl it was a 100/10 then I went back and had the tacos, the bbq chicken and I don’t like fries but the crinkle fries they serve are the best I’ve ever had. This month was my first time going in there out of all the time they’ve been located there and I must say I love the food they will always get my lil dollars!!!Vegetarian options: They have meals that don’t have meat for the veggie loversKid-friendliness: They have tables so you can sit and do homework or enjoy a meal with your family“
“A good stoping point for us on our way to Gelina from chicago. Service was a bit slow, but they were busy. I felt like a lot of people were running around doing nothing. But our food was fresh and yummy. To me, thats the most important thing! Place was a bit messy, but again they were busy. Nothing a couple of wet napkins can't fix. Ended up leaving because there were too many people and loud kids! Would stop here again!“
