However, the bartenders were both very nice and the cheeseburger was decent and very reasonable that came with not homemade chips. The Italian beef on special was ok. It is not the kind of place to make a destination place for lunch or dinner but rather a beer place.

Checked out this brewery in Freeport after coming across other places that had their beers…read more Generations is one of the main reasons to come here. It certainly has quite a few things on tap. A lot more in cans. They also have a few snacks. By the looks of the outside it wasn't anything special, just like a warehouse or something common. It's a lot more interesting inside. The taproom has enough room for the bar, and quite a few tables. Got a view into the back to see where the beers are made. There's a balcony where bands can play live music too. Beers are why people come of course. It's about $7 a pint. Best one we had of these was the Tawny Ale. This is an Irish Red of medium strength. It's about $12 for a soft pretzel. These are massive so they're great for sharing. One of the dips looked like peanut butter. This was actually fudge if you can believe it, and you can get cheese as well as mustard. For sure it's one of this city's main attractions. It's got lots of beers, and because it's in the Pretzel City, get one of those to munch on. They're closed Mondays and Tuesdays.

They have a variety of beers and one named after Freeport the Pretzel City! They have lagers, pilsners and ales. The environment is relaxing and the building stands out ! Since the main road is under construction , GPS did not help, but after we realized it kept rerouting us to the closed road. If in the area, stop in. Also their beer can be found in many locations in the Rockford area and some Binnys.

This place does not have any frills but the owner and bartender were both very nice. The burger with cheese curds was really good and an ample portion (Per the Google reviews people said the cheese curds were fantastic. They were spot on). The sidewinder fries were fresh and delicious. Definitely worth a dollar up charge. The prices in general here are reasonable. The fish sandwich was tasty. The bartender gave me a really nice Tito's and lemonade pour. I will definitely be back next time I'm in the area!

The service and wait time have been getting worse and worse. I was there this week and it was over a 50 min. wait, and it wasn't that busy for 3 or 4 waitresses. The food was Lukewarm and for the prices they charge, was not worth it. I asked for a medium cooked steak, and it came out well inside and for $25, I'll pass. This was all on a Tuesday night. I will be heading into Freeport from now on. I like support local business, but I just can't anymore with Big O's. Sorry Big O's.

We had never been here before, but thought we would check it out for the 49ers/Lions Conference championship game. After this visit we will have to find a new location for games. Whereas they have plenty of TVs, the major one is a projection screen and worked fine, but some of the smaller TVs were not functioning properly. Also, the seating is not the most comfortable. They have a section in front of the large TV with high tables but they have hard stools for seats. The bar has seats, but then you are sitting at the bar. We find a low table by the bar with backed seats. They were also hard plastic. I think we were anticipating too much for a Bar & Grill inside a Freeport Bowling Alley. There were two different bartenders working that night. One appeared to be a bartender/cook while the other filled every other roll. The bartender/cook was kind of rude and gave off the vibe she wanted to be anywhere else in the world and we were putting her out. The other one was friendly and helpful and was a joy to interact. As for the food. MEH. We started with Joe's Tatchos. These were unimpressive and bland. We've had better in many other places. Even the cheese tasted like generic canned cheese sauce. After I had Joe's Smoked Beef Brisket. I wish I had not. It was some of the fattiest brisket served on a generic hamburger bun. At least the brisket was tender and juicy, because there was almost some of the blandest food I've had, this includes hospital and nursing home food. My Girlfriend had the pulled pork sandwich, with the same issue. There was really no flavor to it. Even after adding BBQ sauce they had, neither was satisfying. Honestly, I've had tap water that had more flavor. Overall, Not impressed. It's not bad, but I've had so much better.

Not only was my food bad, but so was everyone else's that was with me. I ordered nachos and a hot dog. I ate most of the hot dog, but it was the cheapest quality ever. I would say they were a .59 cent per package. My client order grilled chicken sandwich and fries, and the other party ordered cheese curds. Also, my client I was with literally waited 40 minutes to get his sandwich after we were already done eating. They brought out all our food, but NOT his until 40 minutes later. CRAZY! You go out to eat together. Right? They did comp my clients meal, however charged me full price for Nachos because I ordered French fries, which I only ate few chips out Nachos any way. I feel that was completely unfair, but I was so livid I needed to leave. The meat was god awful. They said it was chili, but maybe caned chili. So freaking disgusting. They did have .99 sodas so that was nice. And their bloody Mary's looked cool.
