    Jerk Chicken Alfredo

    Wow. Delicious Jerk Chicken Alfredo. One of the most authentic Jerk I've had, certainly the best since moving to Rockford. Staff was friendly and attentive. Would easily be a five star dinner... if not for the $$$ prices, the 20% service charge (there were only two of us) and a 3% credit card charge. This is NOT a high end restaurant but being kittycorner from Embassy Suites, it could be convention pricing? Take another half star for pushing four-tops against a wall and still trying to put four chairs at it, another half star for seating us at a (no excuse for having) wobbly table. If money is no object and you want some great food i have to recommend this place. I'll round up my rating and hope it's still open when i can afford to return.

    Finally a soul food place in Rockford! And not just any soul food restaurant, this is by far the best I've had in a long time! The environment was a whole vibe. The staff was friendly and amazing! Our bartender was attentive and very helpful with the menu. Her drinks were delicious and definitely worth the price! The owner and chef actually came out and said hello. The Mac and cheese was not out of a box or powdered cheese! Oh my god was it great. I can go on about this place, will be here everyday just to get a taste of home! Already thinking about coming back for the dinner menu!

    Great place for a date night. Vegan Alfredo was delicious, as well as the chicken Alfredo. Highly recommend stopping by!

    Awesome find! A friend gave us a gift card and I'm so glad we got the chance to use it today. First…read moreoff, I'm lactose intolerant, so having a fully vegan menu is heaven to me! I had all the options! We ordered the Death Grip IPA and Briéekraut Oktoberfest, which we both loved. We started our meal with an order of nachos to start, and they were covered in a delicious nacho "cheese" and a a chili. My meal was the loaded Mac n Cheezy Bowl - which was so incredible (especially when you don't need to worry about the amount of dairy in it!!). My husband got the Grilled Cheeze Steak Tacos and really enjoyed them! The taco is made with a mini quesadilla as the shell with a delicious filling. Our server was extremely friendly, welcoming, and ensured a great experience. The restaurant definitely feels like a classic brewery with fun decorations and exposed brewing equipment, which is always awesome to see. Added plus is they have free Tesla charging for customers! (Possibly other electric car charging, but I didn't check) We will definitely be back!

Granted, we only had fries, mushrooms and Brussels sprouts to share but they were good! I would suggest maybe more even spreading of garlic on the fries but I enjoyed myself. The beers were great but I'm definitely the most fond of the gose(s). I do wish you could do a flight that wasn't all 10 beers, but it's great for splitting. Easy parking and service was friendly.

    Made a reservation for Mother's Day as I wanted to treat my mom on her special day and I had not…read morehad a chance to visit this restaurant since moving back to the area. I knew it would be a busy day, hence the reservation. I understand things were likely hectic for all the workers and I do emphasize with that. First issue was having to still wait for a table to open up as no table was actually being held. They were out of so many items we wanted to order. My fiancé ordered the duck bacon burger, yet they were out of the duck bacon and said they were substituting with standard bacon instead, and still charged the full $20. I understand items sell out, especially on busy days, but it seems a bit unfair to make the customer pay the same premium price for a lesser quality substitution they had no choice in choosing. Server brought the wrong drink, but my fiancé did not tell me until after we left or we would have said something. It was not a terrible experience and I've always raved about this place, but definitely feeling a bit disappointed considering how expensive it is to dine here. I would visit again but will avoid going here for any holiday as the subpar experience and price point was not worth it.

    Amazing food and an incredible staff that far exceeds expectations…read more We will definitely be returning again to enjoy another great dining experience.

    Everyone Deserves a second Chance…read more I visited PSB on my lunch because they have a Plant based Gyro and that in itself is very difficult to find. They were steady for lunch but not nearly as busy as I expected at 1230 on a Friday. I sat at the bar, and the bartender was very nice. She was very polite and attentive. I ordered the one thing I came for (obviously), and was surprised by how quickly It was ready. Something I appreciated as I was on lunch at work, so I had limited time to begin with. The Gyro was delicious! I got their pickled onions on the side as I wasn't sure how strong they'd be. They were actually very good and an excellent compliment to the gyro itself. The Gyro was served with Potato Wedges. These I could have done without, they differed in size so the cook was drastically different depending on which one you got. The small ones were almost over done and the large ones weren't cooked enough. The Sandwich was definitely the highlight of my meal. This place is so cool, Such a beautiful building with amazing outdoor seating. My other complaint is the price. $20+ for a sandwich (after tax) is outrageous. I am very happy to have tried it, It was delicious. I most likely won't go back for that sandwich though. Too many options around at a fraction of the price. This place definitely deserves to be tried by everyone. They are one of the best spots in all of Rockford.
