We…read moredidn't have a reservation but fortunately there was room at the bar - which is our preferred seating spot anyway. I was surprised at how long it took for the 2 hosts to greet us - as we were standing directly in front of them. They were talking to one another, and it was probably work related, but to just stand there staring at them for a couple minutes while they ignored us was awkward. When they finally talked to us they weren't very friendly. Anyway, we made our way to the bar and it was full except for 3 seats. I think the bartender waiting on us was new. He seemed like he was pretty overwhelmed/in the weeds. He greeted us quickly and brought us waters when he did, which I appreciated. I ordered a Blackeberry Bourbon Sour and my Mr had Paloma Nuestra. We both enjoyed our drinks they were refreshing and well crafted. For dinner I had a really hard time deciding! I wanted to try so many things! Our bartender said his favorite thing in the menu is the chicken and rice bowl. That was something I was considering and decided to go with that. Excellent recommendation! The chicken was flavorful and so tender. The hot peppers were a nice touch. There was a lot of food too! I couldn't finish it all. Mr had the hanger steak that was served with mushroom and asparagus risotto. He said the risotto was the best he's ever had, and I agree. The asparagus was perfectly cooked and so was the steak. The space is really nice, felt intimate without being overcrowded. We are looking forward to coming back!

I haven't been to Matchbox in a long time and have honestly only thought about it as a brunch spot…read more My partner and I decided that we wanted to check it out and were pleasantly surprised at their menu and options! We decided to share the fish and chips and meatloaf. I was pleasantly surprised at how good both were! The fish and chips were very light, didn't feel too heavy for the fried food and the amount was perfect. This is a nitpicky thing, but I would have rather had it on a plate than a bowl so the fish isn't sitting directly on the fries - even though I know that's the vibe. The meatloaf was also really good - I loved the crisp edges on the meatloaf as it gave it a lovely texture and the gravy flavor was amazing. We were both pleasantly surprised at how good the food was and will definitely be back! We did not have a reservation, and it does look like you can get one online, but we were seated promptly. The servers did look a little overwhelmed though, it seemed as though they were only 2 people covering the whole restaurant, including making the drinks! So patience is your friend - but honestly, they did a great job of keeping up and we weren't in much of a rush. They just looked a little frantic, which caused the vibe to be a little weird. However, for our date night, we weren't bothered and still enjoyed our meal! Parking around is street and metered, but hopefully you can find something as there are a few other restaurants and bars nearby. We didn't have any issues though, so I think it's just being patient and possibly walking a little bit. I will definitely be back, especially for dinner!

Kitchen 67 is the place to be!! The second you walk in, you're greeted by their vibrant staff who immediately make you feel welcomed and uplifted. The vibe of the restaurant oozes with modern and industrial creativity! I was so intrigued to learn from our waitress about the history of the restaurant and the connection it has to Brann's, along with the innovative technology that was built into the experience...Ipads in the booths=awesome...Young family with kids' dream! The digital ceiling and phone chargers on the tables??? Whoever thought of those is a genius! The food is sublime. Everything cooked exactly how we wanted it, not a mistake made. The incorporation of local flavors on the menu is so creative and original. The flavors jump off the plate and leave you speechless. The presentation of the food is phenomenal as well-- I was thoroughly impressed. Our waitress checked in on us at exactly the right times and never missed a beat. K67 drinks are FABULOUS! (wine list, draft beers and mixed drinks--I'm working my way through the whole drink menu...) Everything about this place was amazing and left me wanting more! Kitchen 67 IS the place to be. If you're not sitting in the dining room, even the bar is a sweet spot to hang and chat with the amazing staff and costumers. If there isn't seating in the dining room, sit in the bar area--it's still just as amazing. If there's a seating wait--WAIT. It's so worth the time. I'm a regular at K67! Everyone else should be as well. read more

What more do you need to hear in order to get yourself into Kitchen 67? The moment you walk in you're treated as if you've been expected all day. Such a welcoming and vibrant staff! The ambiance is very innovative with the digital ceilings, iPads in the booths as well as the bar, virtual Pepsi machine and phone chargers at the tables! The waitress was incredibly delightful and helpful with my dinner choice. She was spot on when she said I couldn't do wrong by ordering steak. Phenomenal..!! Their products are all extremely fresh- everyone could tell. Nothing tasted frozen, processed or cooked other than to perfection. Even the table next to mine mentioned that her salad was incredibly fresh, cold and crisp with every flavor coming to life- that's impressive. And who knew I could down warm savory rolls, an 8oz, two sides, (my side salad came with a chilled fork- amazing) and dessert! I will be coming back again within days since I filled out their e-club, I'm looking forward to further experiencing everything K67 has to offer. read more

I love this place, from the moment you walk in you can tell the people who work there actually care about your experience. I first started coming in and getting drinks at there bar, they have a great selection of beers. The best part is they have cool liquors that I've never seen at other restaurants, even the "fancy" bars downtown don't have them. Trust me. I've asked, they just look at me all confused. The service is great all around, when I ask for a suggestion they don't just tell me the most expensive stuff on the menu, they tell me what's actually their favorites and why it's all so good. Now I bring in my family, grab a spot at one of their booths, my kids play with the iPad, which is great for me because it keeps them a lot busier than crayons and paper, and I can watch the game or actually have a conversation with my wife without being constantly interrupted by my kids. Tell your friends, this is an awesome place. read more

Kitchen67 is the place to be. I have dined there several times now and absolutely love it. On Tuesday nights they have a steak and bake special for a low price of 6.99. I order it medium rare and it always comes out just perfectly moist and tender. The chef has always come out to our table and made sure that our food taste great. He talks to us for a few moments before he heads on to the next tables. The server Clare was waiting on us and was great. She greeted us promptly and we didn't have to wait for anything.

Finally got to experience the Pickle Back in Marne! A friend had a bit of a going-away get together…read morethere recently. She's originally from Marne, so I've heard about it for years. The space inside is surprisingly huge, making it nice for larger groups. It was busy but not super packed when we were there on a Friday evening. The offerings are your typical dive bar selections and they did have a few craft options on tap. I was super hungry so we got some food - chicken tenders with fries for me, and an olive burger for Nate. The chicken tenders were hot and pretty tasty, and I loved the fries. I had a couple bites of the olive burger and was impressed - not too greasy, a thicker patty, and plenty of olives on a kaiser roll. Definitely a solid bar burger. I have to give a shoutout to our server with shoulder length blonde hair (I should have gotten her name) - she was incredible. Hustling the entire time, friendly and polite, while never forgetting any drinks, and keeping up with our group as we moved from a booth to a table. Overall this is a nice neighborhood dive bar and I felt comfortable and welcome there. I don't live nearby but if I did, this would be a regular spot.

Immediately noticed and enjoyed the life size cut out of Hulk Hogan and knew this would be a good fit. We were greeted by a waitress and someone else shadowing her. They brought some fun spicy popcorn designed to make you want a beer. I ordered a Harmony Brewing Company Draft beer and was brought the wrong one, oops! They quickly fixed it. Their pint glasses are so cool, because when you reach the end it has a funny picture at the bottom. Please see picture for reference. We chose the deviled eggs for an appetizer. They were good, but cold. I'm sorry, but no one's deviled egg recipe compares to Low Country Carolina Restaurant in my opinion. Plus at $5 for their happy hour special as opposed to $12 at this establishment... it kinda felt pricey and lacking. Originally, we ordered the brisket sandwich to split. There was another big table of people the waitress was also serving. Turns out 20 minutes or so later she went to put in our order and they were out of brisket! She was apologetic and offered to buy us dinner. We split the chicken sandwich instead and got some onion rings with it. The chicken sandwich was really good; juicy, crispy, no complaints. I was full after eating half and splitting the onion rings with my friend. Onion rings were okay, but didn't appear to be homemade. We appreciated the ranch to dip it in. Before leaving we took our photo next to the cute garden wall with a shiny neon sign that read "Making Pour Decisions!" So punny!! I don't live around the corner, so I probably won't be back anytime soon, but the food is good. We appreciate the servers remedied any of the errors graciously and felt like we were treated with respect. This place is a great diner themed bar with a relaxed vibe.

This is a Sweet and spicy stuffed egg, candied cajun thick cut bacon, charred poblano pepper garnish. These are good, but the taste aren't fully complimentary.

I was going to have their Bbq Bolognese for my entree, however they changed their menu sometime in the past, but didn't update their websites dinner menu! I got their Smoked Meat Trio ($32) instead. This has Ribs, Brisket, and Turkey. Along with Mac n Cheese and a veggie plus some Cornbread. This was a massively disappointing meal. The ribs were not tender at all, thankfully they were tough, just not tender. They tasted okay, very average at best. The brisket on the other hand was tough and not very tasty at all, definitely below average. The turkey was my favorite and the only thing I fully ate, however their was something not right. Is it frozen turkey or another thing, not sure. The bbq sauce on the meats was also okay, but nothing I would order. The mac n cheese was good. It actually tasted unique and is something I would order again. The cornbread was my favorite thing, not even colse to the best I've had, but very good. The service now was fantastic. Very friendly and everyone seems happy. Overall a 3 star review. Would I return? No, the fact they had Deviled eggs brought me in. However nothing I had makes 30 minutes travel time worth it. I would definitely skip the smoked meats! The popcorn you get when you're sat is highly enjoyable though.

Breakfast Adventure at The Peppermill Grill in Rockford, MI…read more The Peppermill Grill is a little diner hidden deep in a quiet Rockford neighborhood. If you didn't have Google Maps, you'd probably drive right past it. I finally found it on a cool morning, and when I walked in around 9:15, the place was calm and cozy. Only a few tables were taken, and the locals were chatting over coffee like old friends. The staff was amazing. Everyone was friendly, fast, and made me feel welcome right away. The diner was very clean and had that classic old‑school charm that makes you want to sit and stay awhile. Then came the main event: the All‑American Breakfast with American fries and a "large" chocolate milk. Here's how it all went: * The Chocolate Milk It tasted great--nice and chocolatey--but the "large" size was just a regular glass. I could've easily finished two. * The Eggs Two sunny‑side‑up eggs, cooked just right. They were runny and delicious. Still, I kind of wished there were three. * The Ham They gave me a big piece of ham, so the portion was great. But the flavor was pretty mild. It needed a little more seasoning or smokiness to stand out. * The American Fries These chunky potatoes looked good, but some were undercooked and none had seasoning. They really needed salt, pepper, or something extra to wake them up. * The Toast The wheat toast was buttery and fine, but not very crispy. More like warm bread than real toast. There were a few bright spots, though. The ketchup was top‑notch (pretty sure it was Heinz), and I loved the fancy salt and pepper grinders on the table so I could season things myself. In photos, the plate looks awesome--especially that giant piece of ham--but the taste didn't fully match the picture. The service and the cozy vibe were great, but the food didn't quite hit the mark for me. If you live nearby or want a simple diner breakfast with friendly people, The Peppermill Grill is worth a try. But if you're visiting from out of town, it's just okay. The people are wonderful, but the food needs a little more flavor to make the trip feel special.

hidden (to me) vegan gem! blue water has never been on my radar for vegan options but they have…read moreplenty. blue water is actually on the water so the view while dining is lovely. there's an upstairs with all indoor seating and lots of windows. the downstairs area is partially covered and opens up to a patio + water view. there are bars both up and downstairs. our server was quick and attentive. though they were busy we received our food very quickly. they have multiple vegan meat substitutes and vegan cheese that you can swap into meals. they also have entrees that are vegan without adjustments. bread is available upon request with entrees and the bread itself is vegan. just make sure you ask for the oil without the cheese. on our first trip we ordered the wild mushroom polenta and the vegan "buttered" cauliflower. one our second trip we ordered the asparagus pizza and the wild mushroom polenta again. they also have a great kids menu. for our daughter we ordered the cavatappi (marinara sauce on the side) and fresh fruit as her side which was an assortments of berries. the asparagus pizza was delicious - pesto, balsamic, and fresh greens on top. the buttered cauliflower was a little undercooked, both the rice and the cauliflower, but the flavors were delicious. the wild mushroom polenta was the star of the show for me with a cashew cream sauce and umami broth. overall a great dining experience and great food.

We came here for the first time and enjoyed our meal. The menu has a wide array of burgers,…read moresandwiches, salads, and drinks. They are great about customizations to your order. This restaurant is great for families and you can easily let the kids enjoy the playground while waiting for food to come. There are high chairs and kids menus. Service is quick/attentive although I will say we missed the happy hour specials since our waitress didn't come back to take our order prior to the 5:30 cut off which was a bummer. We will be back to enjoy more summer meals.

Friendly and quick with a take out order on a Saturday evening. Beautiful surroundings!read more

He responded immediately to all emails. The Food was amazing and was reasonably priced. Everything was ready on time and we had extras. Definitely will use Community again. As an Individual- my husband and I have gone a few times and have always enjoyed the food and atmosphere.

When we dined in before, we showed up at 8 AM and the place was packed. Today, we dined in at…read more10:30, and we walked right in. Service was quick, but it took a while to get our food. We didn't mind since we were engrossed in conversation and the food was hot when it arrived. The menu prices were reasonable. A cup of coffee is still under $3. They have flavored cream and Splenda. Bonus! I'll share pictures of our food. You be the judge.

I got a Western omelette with bacon added, home fries crispy, and a pancake. It was enough for two breakfasts. The omelette was fluffy and stuffed. The home fries were delicious and crispy. And the pancake was nice and a decent size. A dining companion got the club which looked good. I tried a fry and was not a fan (pretty bland and frozen tasting). Service was great. Our waitress, Hilary, checked in often and was friendly.

My family has been here 3 times now. First was a date with just my wife and I. Second time we…read morebrought the kids back, and yesterday we brought a set of grandparents as well. All three times, I have tried different foods and beer. Each time, the food was absolutely great, I love the beer, the service is excellent, friendly, fast, and the place is clean and nice. I've had the olive burger, fish and chips and Haus Mac and had them add fried chicken. Truly great, all three times. My family has had the kids burger (small, slider size) but REALLY GOOD, tons of cheddar cheese melting off it, pizza which was great, bacon-wrapped hot dog, great, and we all love the waffle fries and the seasoning on them. I haven't had a bad beer yet, but I recommend the Mortarhead IPA is it's one of the best IPAs I've had in a while! Haven't tried dessert there yet, but it's likely in my future. They have seating to accommodate small or large groups (we were 6 yesterday and had plenty of room in a both). Lots of TVs, which isn't always my favorite, but I appreciate that Bob Ross was on one of them, lol! Overall, this place is great, and we intend to keep going back here!

A little disappointing, but I did only get charged for the half order ordered my eggs over easy and they were a little runny egg whites near the yolk. Not bad though. Wife got the olive burger and fries. I got to eat half the burger for lunch the next day. Even heated up it was pretty good. All in all, good food, place was clean, and the service was good. Friendly staff. I would recommend if you're in the Sparta area.
