I tried their Screw City Lager which was very good. My wife had their homemade Root Beer. We decided to split a few food items..Taquitos and Tacos. Both were outstanding. The Taquitos were made with a locally sourced pork barbacoa . The Shrimp Tacos were some of the best I ever had. Chili Garlic Tiger Shrimp with a sweet corn elote made the flavor pop. There was more than enough for us to share. Service was very good and there is plenty of parking available. I will definitely go back on a day when I can enjoy their outdoor dining area.

The list of brews is impressive and they even make their own root beer which I enjoyed because it is not heavily carbonated. The historic building and industrial yet comfortable interior added to the experience. It is located on the Rock River and the Dockside Taproom faces it with great views. They also have a huge selection to host events. To top it off our server Efstathia was friendly and helpful. I recommend this stop in Rockford.

Round 2... I so…read moredesperately want to love this place... They just need to work out some of their issues. We visited Cahoot's on Father's Day around Noon with a Group of 11 (5 Kids 6 Adults). We had initially planned to go to Schaumburg but decided on Cahoot's because it's much closer to us. The Parking lot was packed, but the dining area wasn't, which now feels like a precursor to our experience. Our Dining Experience. The one thing this place does very well is accomodate large groups! We were able to be seating immediately with a very large table with plenty of room for everyone. Our Server felt extremely green, she just didn't offer much warmth and her pace did not match ours. Having 5 young kids who were excited to play games, the food service was very slow. Obviously we could have allowed them to play while we waiting, but being unfamiliar with the location we just were not sure so we chose to eat then play. Drinks were ordered, we waited awhile. Apps were ordered...more waiting... and finally food orders taken. It was so drawn out it felt never ending. The beers that were ordered amongst the adults got mixed up and a few people got free beers because of it. No one seemed to bothered by this. The pretzels ordered as apps were fine. Not bad, but nothing special. They were out of the listed Mustard that they were supposed to come with and the Cheese was pretty bland, neither pretzel got finished. We weren't asked for refills until about 45 minutes into our dining experience. Food was eventually delivered in about 3-4 waves. 1 or 2 of us had hot meals when they arrived, as if the others had been sitting. I personally ordered the house burger with beyond meat and it was brought to me with normal beef patties. I knew immediately and asked for it to be corrected. While i waited I ate my side salad. Everyone had finished their meals by the time the corrected burger was delivered. Wrong... again... This time the right meat but with none of the items the House burger offered. I ended up just putting it in a togo box because I didn't want everyone else waiting for me to finish. My meal was comped without me having to ask which was a very nice gesture. But now two times I have visited Cahoot's to eat and both times someone in my party has had to have their meal comped due to mistakes. This place is definitely going through growing pains. We did end up playing some games afterwards though, $40 took my kids about 15 minutes to exhaust... They really need to take a look at their game prices, we most likely will not return to the gaming area for that reason. I still want to come back for the bowling as it looks like a lot of fun. That was easily their busiest spot. Our Visit was not all bad. I wish I could remember the name of the individual that delivered our food! He was incredible!! In the short time we interacted he was 10 times more attentive, Interactive, and enjoyable than our actual server. He made sure every single person at our table had exactly what we needed before getting back to his normal job. Kudos to that young man. I will most likely be taking a hiatus from visiting Cahoot's until I am confident that they have worked out the kinks. This place has so much potential and it's local so we really really want it to succeed!

That said, the service was the biggest issue. The wait staff seemed uncomfortable and not fully confident, which made the experience feel a bit awkward. On top of that, the kitchen times were very long, especially considering it didn't feel overly busy. The cocktails were a mixed bag. I ordered the house Old Fashioned, and it came off more like a Wisconsin-style version with a splash of something like Sprite. It wasn't bad, just unexpected, and the flavor was a bit unusual. As for the entertainment side, I came for bowling, but the games felt a little off--almost like they weren't calibrated right--which took away from the fun. For the price, the value didn't quite match the experience. I spent around 2 bills and overall it felt pretty mediocre for what we got. That said, it's a local spot, and I want to see it succeed. I'd come back for bowling and give it another shot, hoping they work out the kinks.

But the baked potato came out only warm and undercooked, and the French onion soup needs some attention: the onions weren't caramelized, so it lacked the rich depth that dish should have. None of this is a dealbreaker, and I'll be back. I'd just love to see them sweat the small stuff again rather than lean on nostalgia and their loyal regulars. Get those details right and this is easily a five-star spot.

My wife ordered cod with french fries. The cod was less than room temperature and the so were the fries. Our server came by to ask us how was the food, but didn't wait for an answer. When she did come by later we told her that the food was cold. She asked if we would like to have my wife's seafood dinner boxed up and we said no. The problem was with the attitude of the server. She didn't care. We didn't get a coupon for a different meal. Nothing. They took her meal off of our bill. All we got were the smug looks from the server we complained to management and the manager did nothing but tell us that we should have told her earlier. I have been told for decades that this was a great place to eat. I've been there four times now and twice the food was unacceptable. We will never go there again.

Ambiance wise, you have brick combined with stone, interesting tables and chairs, a blacked out ceiling with very nice lighting - this place is stylin!
