Nella Brown

Horrible experience. We walked in we were not even greeted .The waitress come by we ask for menu she took are drunk order .it took her 20 min to bring our drink. We order nachos they were cold and nasty. My boyfriend order Italian beef it was nasty bread was old meat cut thick and a lot of grease . I had fried chicken horrible it tasted like old grease baked potato raw no coleslaw and my roll was burnt and raw inside .she never come and ask how things were or if we needed anything she was running around on the phone or just talking. My boyfriend has to get up and ask for the check .She come by and stayed that the check was up front .this was horrible the worst 50$ every spent.we will never come back

Service was good food was just ok n cheap, police were there for our brunch, atmosphere didn't feel very good. Probably won't go back. Everything was dirty n sticky n nasty! You want mediocre bar food with drunk screaming in your face this place is for you! Don't recommend!

This was a great lunch spot for us today. They had a Taco Bar today as a special. We also had the tenderloin sandwich and the homemade onion rings. Everything was tasty. We will be back for the weekend breakfast buffet soon or maybe the pizza and chicken buffet.

The cheese curds were heavenly 😋 and I really appreciated the bartender ! I didn't catch her name, but all the regulars knew her and she did everything she could to make me feel comfortable 💕 I don't go to bars often, so I appreciated her care and kindness, and the atmosphere too!!

Your typical Rockford North End Bar. Sort of a melting pot of locals. Food is above average for a Rockford Bar. Sunday nights are fun with bartender Amanda and DJ / karaoke. Check it out!

Very nice, was greeted right away. I went early lunch so was pretty empty. 👍 thumbs up to the cook my Philly burger was delicious. Cook just right wasn't fry, onion rings were a little dark for me but still good and cheese curds. I of course couldn't eat all of it BUT I did finish my burger 😋
