I've only been to Rockford twice, and I've been here twice, so that's telling. I didn't even…read morerealize I had been here before until I walked in. 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.

This was absolutely worth the wait and the drive!

Cute little breakfast spot…read more Came here for a breakfast on a Friday morning. It wasnt busy, but hostess said we could sit wherever we would like. Our server came by after and took our order. She also came to check on us and refilled our drinks/coffee when necessary and was very attentive. Food was good. Nothing crazy since it's just breakfast and prices are decent. Last time I came here was nearly 4 years ago and can tell the inflated prices, but that's honestly everywhere. Would like to come back and try other menu items.

A.M. Social Brunch - Loves Park, IL…read more I visited opening day and recently came back for the first time since -- and somehow, the food got even better. That alone says a lot. The staff is amazing -- genuinely friendly, attentive to every detail, and clearly working as a team. Even the receptionist, Hannah, was out on the floor welcoming guests and helping wherever needed, which really stood out. You can tell there's a strong operation behind the scenes, and it shows in the overall experience. The restaurant is clean, bright, and incredibly welcoming -- truly the definition of social. It's a place that feels energetic yet comfortable, whether you're there to catch up with friends or enjoy a relaxed brunch. This visit, I tried the raspberry crème brûlée doughnut, and wow -- pure perfection. It came out warm, with a rich custard filling that was absolutely to die for. One of those dishes you're still thinking about after you leave. Between the food, the atmosphere, and the outstanding service, this place continues to impress. I'll obviously be coming back again, and I can't wait to see what else they roll out. Highly recommend

Enjoyed my steak and eggs. My husband enjoyed his omelets…read more I did not enjoy the white toast. They are so soft like it just came out of a bag. Maybe toasted for 15 seconds. I've never had a untoasted toast in a restaurant in my life. Surely disappointed me. Also no water refill until we asked for it after we asked for the check. These are, I hope, next time we come back, will be solved.

The food however was just bad. The hash browns were old and rubbery. There was barely any sausage in the biscuits and gravy although the biscuits were actually quite good. The toast was not toasted, just buttered bread. Since I had a skillet, those awful hash browns were in everything and just ruined it. They were really bad. I would not eat there again.

First of all, our server seemed to be in quite a foul mood right off the bat and we felt a little…read morehurried. We were not there right before closing or anything and there were only a few other tables so they weren't scrambling. The waffles were an odd texture and seemed almost stale and the apples on top were very soggy, almost a mush. The veggie omelet was good but of the four of us only one liked their meal. And we're easy to please with breakfast-- give me eggs and bacon and I'm happy. I really wanted to like Nori's because of its proximity to Rock Cut but we all left saying we probably wouldn't come back. Will likely give it another shot because I know everyone has bad days but our first impression was not a good one.

The sandwich itself was dry throughout. It had some kind of sauce sparingly on both sides of the burger. It wasn't served with ketchup, which is fine, if there is something to make it moist enough. Maybe if the sandwich had had more than one tomato. I asked for fruit instead of the fries and the fruit was wonderful - strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, cantaloupe, pineapple. Another person had a lovely salad, which I didn't catch the name of, but I'm sure the unique part of it was that it had beets on top. The final person had the Nashville Fried Chicken Sandwich. He felt the sandwich was left in the fryer a little too long. Jamie H was our waiter and he was very attentive. He came and filled our drinks before they were even empty. Made sure we were happy with everything. Big problem!!! All they had left for dessert, at lunchtime, was 3 different sorbets. Very disappointing!!!
