Downtown Rockford lunchtime hunger pains? Every April through October, Gene operates "Dave's Hot…read moreDog Stand" on the Downtown Mall at West State Street. Since the mall is being removed, the hot dog cart is now on the vacant lot at West State Street and Church Streets, directly across the street from the old entrance of the Winnebago County Courthouse. Gene sells hot dogs made with your favorite toppings, plus burgers/cheeseburgers, a special sandwich of the day (such as a pork chop sandwich), potato chips (including the Rockford classic Mrs. Fisher's potato chips), Pepsi products by the bottle, freshly popped popcorn, canoli, cookies, and (for people like me who do not eat meat) a veggie sandwich. Prices are very affordable.

It had a rather small amount of Italian beef as the ends of the French bread was showing on both sides. It was not worth the $$ we paid. Went to Mr. J's for lunch today 7/28 and WOWZER....the Italian beef & sausage that sandwich was HUGE!! T&J needs to take some pointers from Mr. J's. I'm posting a pic of Mr. J's sandwich.... We were STUFFED!!! Do better Tom & Jerry's in Rockford!! And we only spent $53 for 4 people including drinks . Will definitely be back worth the drive & $$.

I would like to recommend Gyro House months ago. Food quality has really went down, customer…read moreservice person has really went way down. You don't even get a friendly smile any more. You come in and I got today What cha won't? I ordered wings. Got the home , very doughy inside not done, I tossed them out.

It is a relatively small place but the food is fantastic and the portions are very good. The people that work there are very friendly. Don't rely on a bad review that is so different than what everyone else has experienced. Give it a try, even if you have to drive a bit, it's worth the trip.

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!

Me and my wife recently came here on Valentine's Day to see what this place was like. We drove up 2…read morehours and we were thankfully seated. I definitely recommend haley's in our part that you call ahead the book of reservation because it does get busy and various parts of the day. Their menu was very comprehensive and it featured a great variety of specials, food, appetizers and alcohol. Staff here was very friendly though I will say that the food takes time to make so it's best to order some appetizers if it's very crowded. This brewery offers various events here like comedy nights and hosts other events usually in the other room. They had a hard cider I've never heard of before either and I thought it was really delicious. If you are not a drinker they got plenty of non-alcoholic options as well. The prices were pretty fair. Highly recommend!
