The fried chicken was especially impressive--very reasonably priced, with a perfectly crispy crust and juicy, tender meat. Honestly, why drive all the way to Ladd when you can get the same delicious chicken right here in Rochelle? The waitresses were friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. Great food, great service, and great value. We will definitely be returning and highly recommend Sunrise Family Restaurant to anyone looking for a fantastic meal! - sorry I can't post a picture... I couldn't wait to eat!

Checked out this restaurant in Rochelle at the local airport. Flight Deck has a pretty casual but…read moresophisticated thing going on. It has fun cocktails and food along with some vegetarian friendly things. A lot about aviation to look at if wanting to read about it. The prices are okay in lighter items if looking to save calories and money. Best reason to go to the airport in town because there's not much else. It's located inside the entrance to the terminal or whatever building it is. The building is actually pretty small making it easy to find the bar and restaurant. Get cheap cocktails. It's $6 to get the Tito's Punch. Entrees are kind of pricy to be honest. It's about $9 for the Garden Salad. Has the basic toppings in it. Spend a few bucks more to put on the vegetarian chicken strips. Among the rest of the menu it's pretty meaty. There's chicken sandwiches and wraps among other things. For sure it's great if you like aviation. It's closed Mondays and only open for breakfast and lunch Sundays. They're open longer the rest of the week.

I was skeptical because it's in the Rochelle Airport. I'm glad we decided to try it out. We went on a Wednesday night, and it wasn't very busy. There was a large group there, but plenty of tables available. The tables/booths do need so updating as they are starting to show the signs of age. Open ceiling, standard bar décor, patio area, view of the runway... This is a standard bar and grill. Nothing fancy. As for the food. I ordered the mozzarella sticks and the Black N Blue Brisket Burger. The cheese sticks were of decent size, had an okay flavor. I feel they were a little over cooked, but they were still good. The burger was above average. Definitely better than anything you get at a fast food restaurant and the fries were also above average. Over all the food isn't anything wowing, but it's good and I did enjoy my meal. Now here's the selling points: !) for all of my Gluten Free peeps out there. They can replace the bread on any sandwich with a gluten free wrap for a $3 upcharge. 2) Everyone one of their signature drinks can be made alcohol free, thus turning them into Mocktails. I ordered a blackberry hibiscus mule mocktail and my friend got the same with alcohol. We both thought they were delicious. Our service was good. The waitress was friendly and attentive. We had no issues. I think this might be a regular stop for the both of us.

I would suggest to the business that blasting Fox and Friends in the morning while your clientele is eating might not be best practice.

While visiting Rochelle we had the opportunity to try a few local restaurants. Having a very bad experience at Eddies Café we chose to try Butterfly. I am very happy we did because it was a complete 360. The staff was very on top of their tables and very pleasant to talk to. The food was very good and good portions too. High recommendation to eat here if ever in town!! Unless you would like to get sick...try Eddies Cafe read more

This is a family run place - mom was managing the front of the house, dad was making deliveries and their daughter was helping out where needed. I had the chicken-avocado-bacon sandwich. It was good, but I'd probably order it as a wrap next time, just because it's really messy. They use chicken tenders instead of a single chicken breast and those tend to slide around. Hubby had the patty melt and we shared some onion rings. Overall, we thought this was good diner food and was fast and fresh. Both important qualities when traveling. It'll stay on our list for next time we drive through!

The kitchen is the same, the layout is different - it's much larger now as they expanded it to the west unit, so it has plenty of seating. The flooring is nice (no longer sticky) and new, and the divider between the old and new spaces is nice and clean. I ordered a glass or orange juice and my wife had coffee. It was breakfast, so I wanted to try their roasted apple fruit pancakes with a side order of sausage patties (the breakfast side orders are on the left side of the sandwich menu by the way), and my wife had their farmer's skillet. Ambiance is a typical family restaurant. Big glass windows in the front, a clean, nice interior with nice comfortable booths, and the service was very good. Our waitstaff checked as to whether the food was good, and if we needed anything several times. The temperature inside wasn't hot or cold. I took my coat off and was comfortable, as did my wife, who is very intolerant to cold. This also had several law enforcement people eating there, which is always a good sign. We'll be back. I'll try their lunch or dinner next.
