I have to say that it was everything we had hoped for. The burger was cooked perfectly; not dry, at all. All of the ingredients married together very well, and the shoestring fries on the side were amazing! I consider myself a French fry connoisseur, and these are top notch. We're looking forward to coming back and trying their other dishes. The service was good and their beer/cider was great.

We looked for a table and sat at the bar, every table and booth was either occupied or had a reserved sign. Its a huge space, so it was very surprising to see so many reserved. We figured this place would be packed within the half hour. We sat for about 45min and ended up just having a beer and leaving. We left and it still wasn't packed. Overall the beer was ok and the sevice was ok. Maybe its more of a locals type of place. Was not a welcoming feeling for people out if town.

They had a make shift pizza kitchen out in the open too which looked a bit out of place. Tons of board games and even a golf simulator - you could spend a good deal of time here! Would stop again if I'm in the area.

The restaurant looks very fresh and new with modern decor. Hands down the best walleye I have had. The breading was light and very flavorful.

It is quite small inside and is definitely not suitable for large groups. I also felt the seating prioritized style over comfort. This is your typical millennial trendy burger joint that serves water with no ice in a small glass, has higher prices for the portions you are getting, and seems to just have one or two people working. Service was a little slow as it picked up around dinner time. For food, I got the dry rub wings and mac n cheese. My friend got a burger and chips and queso. The food is pretty good. I liked the wings, they had quite a kick to them, and the fries and queso were good. I was not impressed with the mac n cheese. Since Rockford is a small town, I am sure this place fills a void with the limited options they have but I also don't need to return.

This is a great place if it's a nice day and you want an ice cold beer. The staff were all so friendly and they let you taste a few of the beers if you're unsure what to get! I really enjoyed the atmosphere and the variety of options. I loved the strawberry banana sour and one of their fruited beers as well. My husband really loved the lager options.

The tacos were stuffed with meat and cheese and the tortilla was nice and crispy - highly recommend!! My husband said the chimichangas were good and that the beef had a nice hint of lime to it that made it extra tasty. Service was friendly, food came out fast. Good chips and salsa for the table. Chips were warm and crispy. The restaurant itself is small, but there was plenty of seating when we got there. Be prepared to be close to other tables since it's a small space. The kitchen is across the hall. They had a small patio outside that I would like to see get expanded to the parking lot since it was pretty tight to be just on the sidewalk next to the building. Overall, will be recommending this place and coming back!

The location is super convenient just off 494, and they had amble parking even while it was packed inside! They had some food options inside, but nothing that consisted of a full menu, some snacks, pizzas, etc. They also had a food truck there, which we regretfully didn't try with dinner reservations later that night. But there is something here for the hungry stomach! The beer was delicious. They had a good selection consisting of IPA's, sours, seltzers, some lights, ears, etc.! I had one of their IPAs and was thoroughly impressed as well as their Düsseldorf which was awesome. They had some NA beers and plenty of sodas for those that don't drink or the kids who are with. The service was top notch. The gentleman that was working in particular was super friendly and talkative. Helped choose drinks, and even offers some suggestions for dinner which we took him up on! There was also live music and the perfect kind for a mellow saturday night. Very spacious, and well thought out room plans. Would absolutely visit again!

Our veterinarian office is next door so it was always a great place to stop in afterwards. Their parking lot patio is still dog-friendly. The service has always been great, while their beers can be hit or miss. They specialize in belgian brews but have branched out since the move several years ago with some excellent seasonal stuff. I recommend checking them out if you're in the area as their Tripple and Quad are decent, but not as good as Unmapped Brewing, IMO. I just wish, since they don't have a kitchen, they let dogs inside.
