A group of neighbors (6 people) had dinner at Tavern on Clark, and we were fortunate to have Julia…read moreas our server. She exceeded our expectations in every way. She was warm, attentive, friendly, and made sure everything was perfect throughout the evening. She handled our group with ease, anticipated our needs, and made us all feel welcome. Outstanding service like Julia's is what turns a good meal into a great experience. Thank you, Julia--we'll definitely be back! The food was every bit as impressive as the service. Everything our group ordered was prepared well and served hot. The burgers were cooked exactly as requested and were absolutely delicious. I chose the grilled chicken with vegetables instead of fries--a healthier option--and it was tender, flavorful, and satisfying. One person in our party ordered the sturgeon special and couldn't stop talking about how delicious it was. Then came the dessert tray...wow! There were so many tempting choices that it was hard to decide. I had the berry layered cake, which was moist, flavorful, and the perfect finish to the meal. Another person chose the cheesecake, and the generous slice was rich, creamy, and full of flavor. Great food, generous portions, outstanding desserts, and exceptional service from Julia made this a great evening. We look forward to coming back!

Now for the rest of the service: The young man who took our name and led us to our table - he said he just needed to bus it and wipe it off. He bussed it and said he would be right back to wipe it off. Never saw him again. We got tired of waiting and finally sat down. I ordered a philly cheesesteak and asked for a different cheese, which Ava said was no problem. When it came out (by a food runner), it didn't have the cheese that was requested. The food runner said he would go back and ask the kitchen, and once again - we never saw him after that. I finally just ate it as is because I was hungry! Ava apologized several times and even said how she spoke to the kitchen herself when placing the order. It really put a damper on the night for me. :(

This place has been around forever, and for good reason! They have a great, casual, fun atmosphere…read morewith lots of sports playing all around. The place is slightly split into two parts: one side for dining and another for the bar. They have a million beers on tap, and also have wine and a full bar. Servers are friendly and helpful! The menu is pretty simple, all American food. So if you're not into that you might want to look elsewhere. But the stuff they offer they do really well. The fish and chips are great and the nacho portions are huge. They also do burgers well too. We got the kids spaghetti and meatballs for our son and it was good but the meatballs were spicy which seemed like a weird choice. The warm cookie topped with cold ice cream is the perfect dessert choice to end the night!

Food came out slow and not sure if the server messed up or the cook, 1 of the flavors for our wings was wrong but wasn't a big deal. She insisted on getting us the right one. Burger was delicious. The place was clean and wasn't overly loud. I did ask for our wings to be fried hard but was still a little undone for my preference. Overall it was a good dine in experience!

The food was good no complaints there. When we walked in,…read morewe waited 10 minutes to be told to wait 10 more. Once we got seated, our table had been soaked from it being wiped down, and on the ground were leftover CHUNKS of food, that had been left from the people before us. After waiting 15 minutes, the waitress then came to ask for our drink order. 20 minutes later came with the drinks. I hope you see the pattern. The whole night was waiting.. waiting... waiting... and then finally getting our food. Unfortunate for my first time going, and unless you're willing to spend over an hour waiting on food at a table with crumbs all on the floor, I wouldn't go.

Our family loves Famous Dave's! We've been getting BBQ here for years and it's always been…read moredelicious. To me, their brisket is the star of the show, but their ribs and roasted chicken are fantastic too, as well as their other meat choices. Most meals come with 1 or 2 sides, and they give you a bunch of options for those, so anyone can find something they're craving. We get takeout a lot, but when we do eat there we love the ambience of the place, makes you feel like you're not in Rockford anymore but somewhere down south. The servers have always been nice and helpful, too. Surprised by some of the low reviews of this place, I personally don't think they're warranted. Check it out for yourself and see!

Another trip to Famous Dave's in Rockford and another great meal…read more First off, the service was wonderful. I'm sorry I forgot his name but he was great! We had the Baby back ribs plus two meat platter. We actually added a third meat for $4 more. Besides the baby backs, we had brisket, chopped pork, and burnt ends. All of the meats were fantastic! For sides we had the Wilbur Beans and red skin mashed potatoes, along with the pickled onions and hell fire pickles. We love them all. I love going into Dave's and walking around the restaurant looking at all of the cool vintage signs and pictures hanging on the walls. The pictures of Dave in front of all the old historic bbq joints all over the country are really cool too. Stop in at Famous Dave's in Rockford and have a great meal like we did.
