I think the Chicago dog and the Italian Beef with the au jus on the side were solid, but nothing to write back home to Chicago about. Better than Portillo's, kind of reminded me of Mr. Beef almost. Getting the sandwich wet is usually the rite of passage, but I went for the au jus on the side. Don't make the mistake I did. Everything just falls out of it when you tilt the sandwich to dip it. Also, if you think you can eat hot giardiniera peppers, just think for a quick sec longer because these ones were pretty hot for someone who has a decent heat tolerance.

We stopped in for a drink and ended up catching two different live jazz bands, which was such a great surprise and made it a really fun place to hang out for a while. We both had beers, shared a Chicago dog, and ordered wings. The Chicago dog was good, but the wings were advertised as crispy and unfortunately they were definitely not crispy. So I'd probably skip those next time. Other than that, service was good, prices were very reasonable, and we really enjoyed the laid-back atmosphere and live music. Nothing fancy, just a cool little local spot to grab a beer, listen to some jazz and hang out. We'd definitely stop in again--just not for the wings! they say crispy on the menu yeah not so much. The face wasn't dirty so that's nice. There is an outdoor seating area as well as indoor.

The staff was so friendly and our food was ready in 5 minutes. The restaurant was busy but they kept getting food out pretty quickly. We were able to grab a booth in the front window to eat at the restaurant. I tried the classic Mad Dog and then tried two specialty dogs, the Don Ho and the Mac Daddy. The classic Mad dog was probably my favorite but the specialties were unique and delicious as well. The dogs have so many toppings piled on them that it gets quite messy but so worth it. My daughter enjoyed her plain corn dog and the side of mac and cheese. We will definitely be coming back.

Ahh-mazing tacos! Took some to-go and the whole family loved them. Service was great. Very friendly…read moreand helpful when deciding what to get. If you like tacos, this is the REAL DEAL! Go get yourself some right now! Just a note: this is a small place. There are a few tables inside, but not enough for a large group. They do have some tables out in back of the building though. Don't let that stop you from trying out their food. You'll be bummed if you don't! So glad we have them right in downtown Rockford!

In fact, that's what I got, along with the chicken chimis app. It's a dressed-up version of a dive bar on the normal (i.e. not downtown) streets of Grand Rapids, with a good selection of beers on tap, but you have to go walk over to the wall to see those. The waitress' attitude was kinda familiar and divey. I could see this being a locals' place. Service was pretty quick, food was overall pretty good. Good dipping sauce for the chicken, the hot dog had a nice balance of ingredients nestled in the pretzel bun (I got the fully loaded one). Not a bad value overall. I guess... you can see from my review nothing stood out as 5 stars. Everything is good about the tavern, nothing bad to say, but nothing that props it above the rest. One man's opinion. I see a lot of 5s in the other reviews and I can appreciate that.

While in the area I got hungry so to Fry Nation I went. They have a lot of different food…read moreofferings including fries/poutine, hot dogs, burgers, chicken wings and a variety of Mexican food. I got the chicken quesadilla with sour cream and salsa on the side. My husband got a bacon cheeseburger, a soda and a side of fries. The lady taking our order was patient while we decided what we wanted and was very friendly. Bathrooms were clean, as was the dining area. We took our food to go and it only took about 10 minutes for our food to come out. My chicken quesadilla was phenomenal and the cheese pull was impressive. For a place that seems to specialize in fries, the other items are also fantastic. I tried one of the fries and they definitely deserve to have the restaurant named after them. My husband loved his burger and even told me he was glad I suggested we try something new over going to a fast food spot. We will definitely be back sooner than later.

Been coming to the fry nation on alpine for a few months with my family and we went recently and…read morewere extremely disappointed. Back when I first started coming here, they had the regular flat bottomed containers to put fries in. Last time I went, they gave me a container that has dividers in it which reduced the amount of fries they gave me. I'm a small person, it normally takes me almost an hour to eat a large portion of fry nations fries and most of the time my husband has to finish it for me, but I was able to finish the entire container in less than 15 minutes. If they go back to using the flat bottomed containers I might come back, or if they fix their prices since we're now paying the same price for less.

We finally made it down to the Sparta Town Square Businesses - this is a collection of 4 shipping…read morecontainer business as well as 5 businesses in the 201 Marketplace corridor! Ronnie Mack's is the only meal food vendor, but there is also a bakery. We came down on a Friday around 430 and not a minute too soon because the line went from 1 group to 4+ in the blink of an eye! There is a unique selection of food - sliders, hash, subs, tacos, hot dogs, and sides! All very appealing! I will say there is no "kid" menu but we made it work with hotdogs! Also, no alcohol is served in this open area. Hubby got the Cuban hash and devoured it. I got the Cuban meal and couldn't finish it - even though I wanted to! Our boys each got hotdogs and they both looked really good! We also got a hot pretzel... HIGHLY recommend that! All in all, food was hot, fresh and came out pretty quickly. Plenty of seating and fun shops to check out before or after you meal! Highly recommend checking them out!

First and foremost, this establishment is AWESOME!!…read more Ronnie was such a sweet and generous guy. And his food is seriously out of this world. We brought a couple of our younger kiddos to Ronnie Mack's to pass the time while we waited for our older kids to finish up some weekend business they had outside of town. We had never been here before, but the great reviews drew us in. I got a cuban sandwich and my husband got a hash. My cuban was incredible, but when I got a bite of my husband's hash, I was blown away. My kids got standard dogs (they don't know how to venture into the great unknown with trying new foods yet), and they were pleased. While we were eating, Ronnie called us over for a surprise bonus to our meal and asked us to give him some feedback on new flavors he was trying out. I don't want to give away the surprise, but once again, I don't know how many times I can express being "blown away". His knowledge and expertise with flavor profiles and balance is superior to most of what I have had. And I am well traveled! Ronnie, thank you for your generosity and kindness. If we ever find our way back down in Sparta, we will certainly be coming back to see you!

First time to a Mr. Burger! Have always seen them around and decided to have family dinner here…read more Friendly service, everyone liked the food, and I appreciate the nostalgia of the decor and menu signs. Fast casual before it was a concept. Check out the menu (they also serve breakfast!), grab a tray, order your food, grab a pie or dessert, order your drinks, pay, grab a table or booth, wait for your order to be called over the speaker, bring your food back to the table, and enjoy! When finished, leave everything at the table and they take care of it. Family really liked their hamburger and mushrooms and Swiss burger. Can come with lettuce, tomato, and/or chopped onion. Make it a meal with a side and a drink. I enjoyed the grilled chicken sandwich and it was cooked great, tender, and flavorful with mayo and ketchup. I would have normally ordered it with lettuce and tomato but have been avoiding fresh veg everywhere. I would definitely order this again. The onion rings were great and the fries were refract to eat with our burgers and sandwiches. You can grab a ketchup bottle from the counter and have to ask for mustard. They carry Pepsi products, orange Crush and Dr. Pepper as fountain soda. They also have iced tea and use pellet sized ice. Pies - I was excited to see another review about the pies and had such a hard time decided between them all. Decided on the cherry pie and strawberry pie. The cherry pie was fine. I didn't like the strawberry pie because I could taste whatever powder they used and couldn't get over it.

All…read moreorders are made to order, so after $17 and 15 minutes, I left the joint with 6 boneless wings and 3 chicken tenders. Value-wise, there are certainly better spots out there. If I can get a whole rotisserie chicken at Costco for $5, then why does it cost $17 for 3 little tenders and 6 boneless wings? I understand that the restaurant industry is tough right now and ingredients/labor aren't cheap, but by virtue of the price alone I'm not sure if Wing Kingz will become a regular spot for me. Price aside, the flavor was phenomenal. The seasoning station is truly a thing of beauty. And the woman behind the counter was kind and courteous. All in all, a great spot for some great chicken. A little pricy but certainly worth a visit.
