She didn't drop our food off and we were almost done before she came to check how things were going. Service is the reason they didn't get a 5 star. They had lots of young workers standing around. It is your typical bar restaurant, beer signs wood metal. Didn't care for all the high tops since I was with an older person and they can't get on those chairs. The food, omg yummmy. This is some of the best bbq I have had especially in Minnesota. The brisket was juicy fall apart. The ribs were a little dry but again fall off the bone and with some of the bbq sauce delicious. The bbq sauce has a little kick, with sweet and vinegar bite. Sides Mac and cheese was everyone's favorite. It was creamy and good. Potato salad had a smoky creamy flavor. Coleslaw was creamy. Baked beans were smoky and goody. They had a little different taste than some but they were good.

Our server was very friendly and brought our food out quickly. My kids liked their cheeseburgers. I got the Lumberjack burger which had bacon and pulled pork on it. I got it with pink in the middle and it was really good! The burger was flavorful and juicy. The tater tots were yummy too. Nice and crispy on the outside with a good amount of seasoning. My husband liked his BLT with waffle fries. Our whole lunch came to $51 (we didn't get any alcohol), which feels like a good deal. I'm happy to have one more good place to eat to stop in on our way to and from our cabin.

This is on the edge of "the middle of nowhere" (unless of course you're one of the fine folks that lives nearby). But disregard all of that - the service and the FOOD were both top notch! Different daily specials every day (see the picture) and the regular menu is HUGE! Hubby had a Peanut Butter and Jalapeño Jam burger - big 1/2 pounder - with fresh fries. I thought the fries were a little soggy (literally the only negative) but they were deliciously seasoned. I had a shaved beef with Au Jus. Now I know that sounds dull but it wasn't! The roll was super-soft but lightly toasted with a buttery taste and the beef (I'm told by the VERY fabulous waitress) is sliced from their weekly prime-rib special. I had it with a slide of slaw and GOOD LORD they actually know how to make excellent slaw! Again - same fabulous waitress says that the dressing is house-made. It really, REALLY was good. Add three tap beers and our lunch was a sweet $33. I wish we had an easier more frequent reason to stop because the menu has me intrigued! I definitely recommend it!

I have been here many times, trying many different menu items, and I am never disappointed! From the pizza to the meatloaf - you can tell a lot of the items on the menu are made from scratch. The servers/bartenders are incredibly friendly and prompt. There are many different seating options from booths to high-tops which makes it accessible for everyone. The inside is spacious and allows for large parties. Great place to meet up for a great meal (and maybe a little bowling)!

They seated us together, even though it was their lunch rush, and the staff took care of every detail for our large group. Service was excellent; servers were always nearby checking on beverages, food, and anything else we needed, without ever feeling intrusive. Everyone at the table commented on how good the food was - great flavors, generous portions, and well‑made drinks. We've always loved Willy's On the Water, but this experience really confirmed that they're a fantastic choice for larger parties as well. The manager, Gavin, and his staff--from hostesses to servers--were amazing and incredibly helpful throughout the event. I would highly recommend Willy's On the Water for both everyday dining and special occasions.

It is quite small inside and is definitely not suitable for large groups. I also felt the seating prioritized style over comfort. This is your typical millennial trendy burger joint that serves water with no ice in a small glass, has higher prices for the portions you are getting, and seems to just have one or two people working. Service was a little slow as it picked up around dinner time. For food, I got the dry rub wings and mac n cheese. My friend got a burger and chips and queso. The food is pretty good. I liked the wings, they had quite a kick to them, and the fries and queso were good. I was not impressed with the mac n cheese. Since Rockford is a small town, I am sure this place fills a void with the limited options they have but I also don't need to return.
