Uccello's

Reviewed By Gerald D

It's hard to argue with success for one the most successful sports bar organizations in the area, but we should have known. Too loud (unless you like it that way), menu hard to read. Olive Burgers were dry and overcooked--who puts cheese over the olives with no mayonnaise anyway?? Tastiest part of the meal was U-fries (Uccello Fries- upcharge $1.99) which are soggy fries, but flavored by parmesan cheese, garlic butter, and garlic salt. It's in the 110 year old Hotel Maine building on main street, remodeled in contemporary décor and tile--which of course makes it echo more! If you like sports bars by all means go, but if you don't--don't.

We were recommended this spot on and it was convenient and super friendly. But above all the food was fresh and wonderful! Homemade soups and desserts and you could taste how fresh the ingredients were. Yum! Plus a beautiful outdoor patio that has dappled shade and pretty flowers. On the way out they gave our daughter a cookie!

I was excited about trying Rockford Brewing. My first impression when I sat down was kind of cute… We sat in the bar area… But from our seat we could see mop buckets and such right outside the kitchen. I ordered the hard cider lettuce wraps and turkey sandwich with fries. The hard cider was pretty stale tasting- but my husband loved his beer… An IPA. I don’t know what to say about the lettuce wraps other than they were the worst I’ve ever had… They were hunks of tough beef on top of rice with kimchi. I make lettuce wraps and I order them whenever possible... skip these. The sandwich was OK… But the fries were overly salted and we did not eat them.

Timbers Inn Restaurant & Tavern

Reviewed By 747ChrisH747

The atmosphere here is a very classy Wooden Lodge. I've been to many restaurants that go for the outdoorsy vibe, this place does it with style. It can definitely be a romantic dinner or a get together of buds kind of place. One of the best wooden decors I've seen.They have a limited lunch menu so I ordered the Turkey Chipotle Ranch Wrap with fries. The wrap was very good. A nice portion of turkey and a nice sauce with the mixture of ranch and Chipotle. The fries were average. Nothing bad, nothing great. The person I was with ordered a burger medium rare and had to send it back because it was close to well done. The 2nd version was cooked much better and the burger was said to be very good.The service was very friendly and attentive. Happily replacing the over cooked burger.Overall a 4 1/2 star review. Do to rounding it's a 4. It has the possibility of getting 5 but just wasn't quite there. Would I return? Absolutely.Thank you so much for the great review! I loved seeing all of the detail that you included. I have passed your comments about the burger onto our kitchen to make sure that we are cooking meats to the guests temperature choice. I'm so glad that the server took good care of you and we look forward to earning that last half of a star.Thank you again for taking your time to leave us a review. We hope to see you back again soon!

Jody's Restaurant

Reviewed By barbberry

My 7-year-old grandson requested Jody's when given a choice of Rockford restaurants last Friday. The kids' grilled cheese is his favorite of all local fare. For myself, the Harvest Chicken Salad with Raspberry Vinaigrette is the go-to choice. There are plenty of good salads, entrees, and desserts to choose from. It's easy to order at the register, and the food is delivered quickly. Their motto is "Great Food Served Fast," and they deliver.

Grill One Eleven

Reviewed By Gwen W

I had lunch here with 4 of my college alumni girlfriends on a rainy and cold fall day, and the atmosphere was warm and cozy and the service was top notch. Four of us ordered the Grilled Salmon Infusion and it was so delicious! I would go here again just for the entree. Prices are a bit on the high end at lunch, but the food is very special, so worth the cost.

Maybe because we were hungry but we all enjoyed the various hot dog offerings on a crowded Saturday night. We snagged seats at the bar and received good service. The Chicago, Polish and American dogs were tasty and hot and the sides also Good. We did have to wait a little long for our food but it hit the spot.

With the soul of a snow-covered lodge and the repose of a sun soaked beach house, Bostwick Lake Inn sits aside the tranquil waters of Bostwick Lake on the outskirts of Rockford, Michigan. A century's worth of history and character can be felt amongst the

Reviewed By sunquest4me

Our date night out brought us to Bostwick Lake Inn. We had a short wait since we requested to sit outside. The weather was nice enough to have sit outside on the massive lakeside deck. Metal patio tables and chairs, it was a really nice space. Interior seemed spacious too but I was mainly focused on getting out to the deck.Our wait staff was friendly, prompt and knowledgeable. He recommended a blueberry cider which was really tasty. I had a house made vegan burger that was so good - held together perfectly! It was one of the better house made vegan burgers I have had. I was pleased to see other options available too. Our dining companions had the risotto which she completely finished and she really enjoyed. Her husband had a burger which he thought tasted more like a steak. Price is on par with most restaurants today.Overall our visit was solid and would consider visited again and can recommend if looking for some fantastic lake side views, friendly atmosphere and yummy food.Thank you for the great review. We are very happy to hear that you enjoyed all of the options available and the food itself. We hope to see you again!

Herman's Boy

Reviewed By Diana C

Have gotten many people hooked on this quaint hometown bagel coffeehouse that offers so much more. Cheeses and meats, grilling supplies, coffee drinks, sandwiches, and even a nice selection of treats for the kiddos. Been going to Herman’s for 20+ years and they continue to provide service with a smile...literally. Worth the visit every time.
