A friend ordered the half arugula salad with extra chicken. I've never seen such an anemic salad and I wish he had taken a photo of it so I could share our disappointment. Food aside, the service was almost nonexistent. Our server seemed like she had been assigned too many tables and was too busy to spend any time at our table. We only asked for some dressing for the pitiful salad but that never came. It also took 20 minutes for someone to take our cards so we finally went up to the bar to get service. The evening ended on kind of a positive note as we were presented with a very good complementary chocolate cake. I'm hoping that next time we go, there won't be any need for an Apology Desert. I been to Crave before and it has a really pleasant dining area with tables, high tops and booths so pick your favorite. The patio is quite attractive and it's nicely decorated too. It was full on 815 Tuesday so that might be why our server was too busy.

I've lived in Freeport for a couple of years and have struggled to find a good place to watch…read moreFootball. I had been to many bars and restaurant and most of them were lacking. Thankfully King's came along. King's recently opened, and we just discovered in last month. So far I have some mixed feelings about the place. The location is fine, it's in a location that a previous bar & grill was located. They opened up the room; there is a lot of seating, a couple of pool tables, and a lot of parking. It looks nothing like the place that was there before on the inside. (This is a good thing). The food is pretty darn good. I've had two different burgers there now The Crack Burger, and the Pepper Ranch Burger. I was pleased with both. The patties were well seasoned and juicy. The meat itself was delicious. The toppings only enhanced the burger and wasn't an overpowering flavor mask that you find at many places. Out of the two, I really couldn't tell you which one I preferred as both were delicious. It is my opinion these are the best burgers in Freeport. In fact these are the only burgers worth going out for in Freeport. The fries are okay. They're better than many other places, but nothing impressive. One of our visits we got the Nachos. Surprisingly the nachos were better than anticipated. I figured it would be just canned cheese sauce over generic tortillas with various toppings, but maybe the day was just right, but they were much better than we expected. The staff has been friendly every time we've stopped in. Always with a smile, and a pleasant quip. They've been top notch. However, it is my impression that they are understaffed. If you are sitting at a table, there can be long times before a server checks on you. The last time we were there we noticed that bar tenders were pulling double service as waitresses. With the bars being full, it's understandable why the service can be slow. I'm thinking it's a family owned/operated establishment and that they're having issues finding employees. So maybe this will fix itself. As for watching Football. This is the best option in Freeport. There is a large bank of 6 TVs behind the bar that's easy to see, plus various other TVs located on the other walls. The sound isn't the greatest, but you can only listen to one TV at a time, so as it's not really an issue. Plus half the time you don't want to hear the announcers anyway.

Such an amazing experience…read more Starting off with the restaurant itself, such a beautifully curated spot that is unlike anything rockford has to offer. Every detail a work of art. We really enjoy the bar area and its ambiance but hope to also experience the dining room as well. We started off with the Dip of the day which was a Miso Ranch dip served with fresh made tortilla chips. This was phenomenal and my only complaint is there wasn't more! We also both ordered a drink off of their happy hour menu. I ordered the old Fashioned and my wife ordered their margarita. Both were excellent. I also ordered the VIEUX CARRÉ based on our Server's recommendation and thoroughly enjoyed that. Such knowledgeable staff makes a big difference. For our main course, I got their Mushroom Pot Pie and my wife ordered the Ora King Salmon. Both dishes blew us away. Neither of us expected to be so full after our meals, their serving sizes were very generous! I wanted to highlight the mushroom pot pie, as a vegetarian, Fine dining usually does not cater to vegetarians. So having options at a place this nice was such a welcomed surprise. The greens included with the Pot Pie really stole the show, The most perfectly cooked and seasoned greens I have ever had. Chef Nick Risseeuw came over and checked on how we were doing and after hearing me rave about his pot pie offered two of his desserts on the house. We got a pistachio orange dessert and a Malt ball ice cream that was his interpretation of whopper candy as an ice cream. Both were DIVINE! Thank you again Nick for your generosity, it was a perfect way to end a perfect meal. I also wanted to highlight the staff as they played an essential role in our unbelievable experience. Everyone was so friendly, attentive, and prompt. We will definitely return soon and cannot wait to see what is in store for their upcoming menu

We stopped in here before going to see a movie back in November. They were part of a burger…read morechallenge that was happening in Stephenson County, my girl friend's youngest son recommended the place, plus it is located directly across from the theater. It was decided that Morts & Saint's was going to be our dining experience for the night. Upon arrival the place came across as a total dive bar. Don't get me wrong, I love dive bars, they have some of the best food and the locals usually are willing to bend your ear with tales about the town. The seating area was small, only a handful of tables and the bar. We had a group of 6, which meant we had to take up two tables. That's not an issue for us, but keep in mind it's not good for groups. Let's just get to the brass tacks of this review. I don't recommend Morts & Saint's. The first thing I noticed is that the cooking area is behind the counter where you can see everything the cook does, I mean EVERYTHING... Like most dive bars the place could use some repairs... and cleaning. A lot of cleaning. From the looks of the signs, clocks, decorations, etc... The internet may still have been dial up the last time someone cleaned it thoroughly. Everyone of us ordered burgers, I watched as the cook pulled the frozen patties out of the chest freezer next to the flat top and put them on with his bare hands, no gloves... no washing... handling other food items, then doing other tasks, only to go back to food handling again.... Multiple times. The burgers were frozen patties thrown on grill... no thawing, no seasoning... just on the grill that moments before was used to prepare something else. I had the Lena Rae burger, I others ordered the Mort Burger, the Flamin' Mort, and a Swiss Mushroom. Honestly, the best part of the burger was Chips that came with them. The burger itself was mediocre at best. How people are saying this is the best burger in town is beyond me. Honestly, they only thing I can say positive about the burger is that for the price, it's not bad. Each burger at the time we went was between $6 to $8. It's not a bad burger, it's just painfully average. However, if they keep their prices like that, I can see how it will attract people. If you enjoy a good dive bar, you don't want to spend money, and you feel like risking a good health code violation or two... Morts & Saint's is for you. ...oh and the service is what you expect. Local staff spending more time talking to regulars. Our waitress seemed to be more concerned with flirting with customers at the bar than taking orders, filling drinks, bringing us a check, etc.
