Daughter had shrimp Alfredo. All plates were exceptional in flavor. My lamb chops seems to be cooked on a charcoal or wood grill and were seared perfectly, juicy, tender and DELICIOUS. Collard greens were fantastic and had a big chunk of smoked turkey in it. The yams were tender and sweet. Maybe a little too sweet but still edible. The wife's pork chops must've been good cuz she refused to share w me and my daughter devoured her shrimp Alfredo.

We haven't been to Golden Corral in a long time. We were out in the morning and decided to find a…read morebreakfast spot and we happened to be driving down Perryville Rd in Rockford and seen the Golden Corral so we stopped in here. It's changed a bit since the last time we were here. Now, we pour our own drinks. I have no problem with this. They should have done this from the beginning. It was breakfast time on a Sunday so the drinks are included in the price of your meal. We paid, got to our table and everything was nice and clean. We went up for our food and it was about 10:45 or so and they started to transition from breakfast to lunch. First thing I seen was the cook grilling steak. It looked and smelled awesome! I asked for a piece of steak rare. The cook told me he couldn't give me any until 11:00. I thought that was a little strange. They used to have steak for breakfast, but whatever. So I was off looking at what else I could have. They just brought out freshly made fried chicken. I love Golden Corrals fried chicken. I like the legs and my wife likes the thighs. The chicken did not disappoint. After the chicken, I seen they had some freshly grilled jalapeños. I made myself a soft shell taco and had a nice jalapeño to go with it. I was already pretty full but I made one last round and seen they just put out some fresh jumbo fried shrimp and fish. These items again were great. I was done at this point, but looking at other items, everything looked wonderful. There was a pretty big crowd so they were constantly bringing out fresh food. As long as you go to a buffet at a busier time, you will always be guaranteed fresh food. I know it shouldn't matter what time you show up, you should always have fresh food for your hard earned money. But this is what you get at a buffet. Anyway, we had a great experience this time at the Golden Corral in Rockford. I forgot to say, our server was great also. She was there collecting plates and making sure everything was good. Go on a Sunday morning. We had a great experience.

This CB in Rockford just didn't measure up to my past CB meals. We went at dinner time on a Thursday night. We had to wait a little while for a table but that was fine because walking around the store is half the appeal of going to CB. Our waitress was fine, a bit frazzled. She had many tables and seems overwhelmed. The restaurant was messy and our food was meh. It took forever for our meals to arrive and honestly, we were fine sitting there quizzing each other on our sports knowledge. I love a random Cracker Barrel meal; however, I will skip this location.

Not a huge fan of hickory smoking but theirs was not overpowering. Not sure how you can do subtle hickory but they did it. Balanced well by tasty dry rub spices- not too hot or sweet. Ribs did not require sauce and in fact better with rub alone. Yet did sample their wide variety of sauces including NC vinegar spiced splash. Seven different options all good. Pulled chicken amole serving of sufficiently moist meat and the same subtle smoke. Slaw and baked bean sides good combo and balance to the meats but man I wish I'd also gotten the fresh cut fries which are hard to find. Saw many others who seemed to be enjoying theirs. This is a can't miss place and bit of a surprise for northern Illinois compared to the plethora of bbq joints I've visited throughout the South and Midwest.

The first time, my friend recommended Eggslusive and the second time, Yelp did. Anyway, service is quick and friendly, and prices are about what you'd expect for brunch unless you get an expensive special (which we did not ). I loved seeing items on the menu that I don't normally see on brunch menus like halal options, naan dishes, and Mediterranean meals, all of which I was tempted to get. I ended up getting the chicken tinga skillet and substituted to get something called simit as my side instead of toast. The waitress described it as kind of a pretzel bread, which I feel was accurate. Lots of sesame seeds, and it came with jam, which was delicious! The vibe is cozy and local, and come to find out that the business owner is Turkish, which we loved to know and support. I'm also not a bacon person, but I enjoyed the bacon here because I'm not a super super crispy bacon fan. The waitress was also super sweet and provided a coffee refill in a to-go cup for my husband to enjoy in the car on our way back towards Chicago. The only thing is that one of my poached eggs came out more hard boiled than runny, but everything else was great. If I could give 4.5 stars, I would. Note: we got one of 2 parking spaces left remaining, so know that parking can be a bit tight on weekend mornings.
