Thank you to the owner for responding and updating us with the new hours. We stopped in again…read moretonight to give it another try and it was GREAT!! The service was amazing, but we forgot the name of the server. She was helpful, gave recommendations and assisted in decisions between items. We ordered an appetizer of shrimp and it was AMAZING! Great portion size and great taste. We had the Mac and Cheese and the Philly Cheesesteak Wrap. Both items were delicious and more than enough food to fill us up and have leftovers. The best part of the restaurant is the draft wall. You can choose from multiple types of beer, mixed drinks, or straight liquor for mixing yourself. It added fun to the experience pouring your own beverages. The bar is very spacious and allows for multiple seating scenarios from high tops to regular chairs, to couches. You can watch teams play sports below or play pool and darts. I am very glad we gave them a second chance, it was worth the trip back. Thank you for a great evening.

How have I lived in Rockford for years and never heard of this place?! This is a hidden gem…read more There are many things going for this spot. It might be small, but it's mighty. A very long beer list, great whiskey options, and a full bar to start you off right. The food is good, and they run daily specials which you can find on the homepage of their website. We came on a Wednesday so I ordered a buffalo chicken salad and got $2 off. Between the rest of our family, we ordered the brat Mac n cheese (unique and delicious), wings (70 cents on Wednesdays), the Detour burger (my favorite of the bunch) and the Cobb salad. The salads were my least favorite (which I guess is not surprising). The service is good and it was not crowded which opened up the staff to make us feel very cared for. The biggest plus about this place is the value. Most of the menu options are under $10 (and that's not even with the daily special discounts applied) and worth every penny. The only negative I can think of is that I've been missing out all these years. Excited we've found another great hidden spot in Rockford!

Note: More information is available on my Yelp profile…read more The Mill is a bar and grill style restaurant that opened in May 2023, and at time of review it had been open nearly a year. Pros: + One of the more curious questions about the Mill I ask myself was, is it more of a restaurant or bar? I've deemed it more the former. The stronger restaurant vibe makes it more family friendly, helps with the food quality,and just gives it a better atmosphere + Speaking of atmosphere, the building itself had gone under a lot of renovation and its cleara lot of effort went into the design of the bar and dining area. Very well crafted and very clean. Feels up to date with the times. + This makes it a good spot for group events. It could easily handle 30+ people, and the Mill has a crazy amount of TV's which come in great for sporting events + early 2024 added gaming machines if playing slots is your thing + One final note on the atmosphere I really like their outdoor patio and they have wonderful potential for summer outdoor seating if they became so inclined. + The food throughout my visits have maintained an exceptional level of quality that I find unusual for a bar and grill. Most of the time, I simply tolerate food at a sports bar style establishment. The food here is actually consistently good, and could compete with many sit down corporate chains out there. + Patrons will not go hungry except for maybe the heartiest of teenagers + The Mill has steadily simplified the menu which is probably a good call. My personal favorites tend to be the burgers, and the soups. + There are menu items that I will also get from here that I would "almost never" try at a bar. The Mill is surprisingly great at salads, veggies, and sandwiches. The Turkey BLT being a personal favorite. This place really dispels the notion that I would have to stick to fried food + One of the most unique things about the Mill is the owner's tendency to allow their staff to experiment. I've seen it with entrees, drinks and especially soups. In my opinion this keeps their menu fresh and the offerings interesting. Cons: -Speaking of unusual this brings me to my first con. It's easy to pass and miss this place from the road due to their geographical location. It's only accessible via service road on IL 251, and hides the place and messes with GPS a little - I love the soups, but it is a complete roulette wheel as to what will be available on a given day. -Finally an element that is common in any business (especially with sports bars) post COVID is the realities of staffing. As I've done more travelling in recent years, I've noticed that many places especially restaurants may be subject to a service level drop due to staffing. It has forced me to re-evaluate how much emphasis I place on service speed. Therefore I no longer consider it to be a realible rating tool Bottom Line: ***It's clear to me that the ownership and staff at The Mill have great passion and drive. They are a great local business. I am usually careful about giving the 5 star, but in this case I feel it is warranted. Their food quality and consistency is easily a cut abovemost "bar businesses" in the immediate area.

We were here on Sat 5/9. Two cars in parking lot. The food was absolutely disgusting. I had a 1/2…read morecobb salad. The chicken looked like someone chewed it and then spit it out . The dressing was spoiled. The server never came to check on us and ask how things were. My husband had a Reuben that was all shredded and unchewable. My grand daughter had nacho chips with a big glob of cheese sauce on it. When this place opened, it was decent. It has totally gone down hill. The server was horrible. Maybe 5 people in the restaurant and she was more concerned about her phone. Plus she had zits all over her face. I guess it was better that she didn't come to check on us. When Janelle and Taylor were here it was different. I really would like a refund. Inedible food. Disgusting. If you want a beer, maybe. Don't order food. Plus, the cook was sitting at the bar watching tv and drinking with his friend. No manager in sight. I will never go back and never ever recommend this place to anyone. No wonder TopDawg is always packed (right down the street) They care about their food and presentation. Do not waste your time and money here.

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!

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.
