You talk about the best homemade country fixins, you've got to be talking about "The Machine Shed"…read morein Rockford Il. Best food you've ever eaten, and the service is way over the top. We're definitely going to make another trip to Rockford.

I love The Machine Shed…read more We have been here several times in the past two years and every meal has been fantastic. The restaurant is sometimes a little loud but it is always clean. Our servers have always been pleasant and during our first visit, she walked us through the menu and told us her personal favorites. The slaw and cottage cheese is my absolute favorite part of the meal.

This place has been around forever, and for good reason! They have a great, casual, fun atmosphere…read morewith lots of sports playing all around. The place is slightly split into two parts: one side for dining and another for the bar. They have a million beers on tap, and also have wine and a full bar. Servers are friendly and helpful! The menu is pretty simple, all American food. So if you're not into that you might want to look elsewhere. But the stuff they offer they do really well. The fish and chips are great and the nacho portions are huge. They also do burgers well too. We got the kids spaghetti and meatballs for our son and it was good but the meatballs were spicy which seemed like a weird choice. The warm cookie topped with cold ice cream is the perfect dessert choice to end the night!

Mediocre experience. Server was nice but inattentive to our table. Disappeared for lengthy time…read more Took 20 mins or more to get drinks. 10 mins before came to us to take order then another 10-15 mins to make 3 sodas and walk them 2 feet over to us. We were seated in the bar area. Bread sticks came out fresh, hot and were delicious. Well seasoned and perfectly cheesy . We were starving and inhaled them so fast I forgot to take a pic. Our order consisted of Spaghetti and Meatballs, BBQ Burger with tots and pizza with side cesear salad. The spaghetti came out look warm which was very disappointing. But it was very tasty and filling. Sauce was full of flavor and so were the HUGE meatballs. I can only imagine how much better it would have been hot. Would def order this again. The BBQ Burger was reported to be well cooked and yummy. It was also mildly warm when it came out. Tots were reported to be well seasoned and mildly warm also. Pizza was reported to be ok. It was also only warm. Son wasn't too impressed with it and he loves pizza.It looked very fake... like premade frozen pizza. He didn't eat but 2 small slices of it. Cesar salad was basic. Oddly enough the lettuce was warm instead of cold. So what I gather from all the temperature issues is that the food was made and sat out. That's disappointing. If it was brought out fresh I bet I could have given this a much higher rating. Refills were a struggle to get. She gave my husband and son 1 refill then never came back to check on us until it was time for the check. And again.. it was not even close to being busy. I counted 8 families in the whole place from time we arrived to time we left.

They were probably the best l've ever had in my life...hand-breaded perfection. If you're not feeling that, they have your typical bar and grill menu. Atmosphere is also a pretty typical bar. It's connected to a bowling alley so you can either come here directly, or enjoy the food/drinks while you bowl. Nice people working here that have given us good customer service. They also do takeout which is nice.

This is the third time this has happened to me and I finally felt compelled to write a review. This…read moreis SOLELY based on the service, as the food is generally pretty good. My friends and I visited today and sat and waited for 25 minutes. Not a single server came to our table to even offer us menus, let alone drink orders. I had to go to the bar myself to get said menus, and still no one came to take an order. Horrible service. We walked out and went to Buffalo Wild Wings instead where service was friendly and prompt.

worst service ever. Walked in the door. The first employee I encountered was on her phone and…read morecouldn't be bothered. She sent me to the register. I asked them if they could help me find what I was looking for and they said no, so the first lady had to take care of me anyway. The item I was asking for was not in stock. She went to the computer and it was way too much trouble for her to look it up for me. She had such a bad attitude . I was taking her away from her phone. I gave up and left

Awesome place to bowl. This has been around for decades but they've constantly made upgrades along…read morethe way so it looks newer and everything is kept clean. Staff is great and helpful! Bowling is always fun, they keep the lanes well oiled and the machines work great. They host a variety of leagues here, everywhere from ultra competitive school competitions to the chillest family leagues and birthday parties, as well as just plain old open bowling, so there's something for every skill level and age. They also have an arcade, as well as a bar and grill. I have never said or typed this sentence in my life, but ORDER THE CHICKEN FINGERS! You will not be disappointed. They were probably the best I've ever had in my life...hand-breaded perfection. This is the bowling alley that showed me how fun bowling could be when I was a kid, then as a student it hosted leagues where I made a ton of friends, and now I get to come here to make memories with a family of my own. It's not as cheap as it used to be, but what is anymore? About the same price as a night out at a movie. Would definitely recommend this place!

I haven't bowled in years! Came here with my sister. Gotta say the lanes are still amazing and…read moreeverything was very clean. We both had a great time.

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.
