    Toasted Garden Caprese - Messy!
    George W.

    We were on our way east to pick up an old clock from Tick Tock Clocks (I know, catchy name) and decided to stop for lunch at the Belvidere Oasis. A lot of these Oases are being torn down (I guess people don't stop anymore) so this was kind of a trip down memory lane for those of us as kids who'd watch the traffic fly by out the windows. Yeah, nobody was doing that. We toured the selections available (and there were quite a few, and settled on Panera Bread. My wife ordered their Toasted Garden Caprese, which the best way to describe it was "messy." When she opened the wrapper, stuff was everywhere. She ordered the half sandwich, and got soup and chips with it. I went for the whole Tomato Basil BLT. Good thing too - it was heavy on the tomato and basil, not so heavy on the bacon. The sandwiches were good. Both came with a cookie since we ordered a meal, and the cookies were nice, large, and soft. The soft drink machine worked. The seating area was a bit messy - but it's an Oasis - so people seem to forget to clean up their messes. Check out was a breeze. We were back on the highway in no time.

    Steel cut oatmeal with almonds, quinoa & honey
    I-Lin L.

    Stopped here for a quick breakfast while on the road from Illinois to Wisconsin. The healthiest item on the menu for the lowest calories appeared to be the steel cut oatmeal with almonds, quinoa & honey for $4.49. At 300 calories, it was a satisfying and nice, hot meal on a cold morning to fill me up and fuel me for our hike at Devil's Lake later on that morning. A little bit on the sweet side from all the honey, but that made it a bit decadent, too.

    I had a steak and cheese panini it was small and $9.99 it was good but I feel over priced I really like there Mac an cheese but I feel the menu is over priced for the size. They do have food ice teas

    I know it's a brand new place but they are really nice here. You can tell the employees care and they even have a drive through!

I opened up Yelp and found this little taqueria in the cute downtown of Belvedere so we decided to stop here. The inside definitely makes you feel like you're at a family owned restaurant. It reminds me of all of the pizzerias I went to as a kid in New York. The staff are all incredibly friend and funny and were cracking jokes the whole time to our table. They offer a wide selection of Mexican specialties from some of the more common ones to some of the harder to find ones. Lately, I've been on a Gordita kick so I ordered the Gordita dinner. The rice and beans were so good, and the fresh tortillas, along with the beautiful meat inside were all perfect. I wasn't expecting to have such incredible Mexican in this part of the US, but I need to reassess my biased because this was fantastic. Highly recommend!

The tuna had so much sinew I couldn't bite through it, it felt like chewing jerky. The sushi rice was underseasoned. The Shrimp Tempura Roll was so large it fell apart as soon as you tried to pick up a piece and again the rice was plain. The Crab Rangoon were weirdly stringy and the oil they were fried in must have been a little stale. The California Roll was fine but bland. Not the quality we expect and have had in the past. Very disappointing. Likely won't come back for a bit. For the price it was terrible as most of it was thrown away.

They have made things acceptable enough for Americanized preferences and tastes. First thing to know is there's a few areas. It's got the hibachi where they grill things on it. Then there's the classic sushi bar where they roll it and then chop it up. Cool concept. There's built in fun and entertainment. Has many choices. It's about $6 for the cheapest rolls. Has a few okay for vegetarians to get. We had the Avocado and the Cucumber Rolls. Great flavor. There's also the Tempura Sweet Potato Rolls but they put eel sauce on these. Just leave it off and it will be okay. The hibachi selections also include one with tofu. A lot to get here. There's also tons of noodles and other stuff. Has quite a big menu of many choices. It's closed Tuesdays. There's a few things okay for vegetarians.

Besides several missing items and errors, the quality of the food was poor at best. The pasta was severely under salted, which is pasta 101.....SALT THE WATER. The garlic bread was dry and extremely bland. It tasted like four day old bread that was about to mold with just enough butter to give it color, but not much in the way of flavor. Their sauce tasted severely over-cooked. The meatballs were.....well....wimpy in flavor and texture. The chicken parmesan was rather small in size, but they give you a ton of pasta on the side to compensate, I guess, and (again) needed seasoning. I suppose I had to give them a small bump for their pasta portion size (the cheapest thing an Italian restaurant can provide, really). I will add that they were apologetic when we returned to get the items they forgot, but it's not much comfort when all the food is cold by the time you get back with the missing stuff. It tends to kill the appetite. The desserts are okay, for the most part, if you don't require super sweet stuff. Overall, it was extremely disappointing and not worth the $120 to feed four adults. And, in our smaller town with slim pickings for restaurants, we can easily (and sadly) cross this one off our list of places we will order from again.

But the restaurant itself is being horribly neglected by its owners, and this reflects badly on the experience of eating there. 1. There are several construction projects in the restaurant that are only half completed, including a wall around the drink dispenser that was built but never painted. It's just drywall and spackle. And there's a strip of floor tile missing near the machine, which causes a tripping hazard. 2. The drink machine's icemaker has been out of service for months. 3. The restaurant installed customer ordering screens at the counter, but for nearly a year these have powered-on but inactive and covered in plastic. 4. For over a year, a security system box on the wall of the lobby has been loudly beeping because its battery is missing. 5. Outside, there are broken bricks and messy planters near the entrance. It's looking very shabby and run-down. Somebody needs to get things in gear, and start addressing these problems. If you're going to run a business people will trust, you have to put in some work.

    First, I want to say that we genuinely like Tom & Jerry's. The food is good, and it is one of the…read moreonly places in the area where my little guy will actually eat the soup and chicken fingers. That is why we continue to order from you. Unfortunately, I have been extremely disappointed with our last four orders from the Belvidere location. Four orders in a row have either been incorrect or had items missing. On three occasions, the store has actually had to drive missing items or an entire corrected order back out to our house. I appreciate that the store is willing to remake food, deliver missing items, or offer a credit toward a future order. However, those things really are not what I am looking for. I simply want the order to be correct the first time. Today was especially frustrating because when I ordered, I specifically asked if I could remain at the drive thru window long enough to check the order before leaving. I also asked if the food could be spread between additional bags rather than everything being packed tightly together. Instead, I was told I needed to pull around to the front. When the order was eventually brought to my vehicle, everything had been packed extremely tightly into one bag and stapled shut to the point that I could not reasonably check it. I asked the young lady who brought it out if the order had been checked, and her response was, "I don't know." Of course, I got home and discovered that items were missing again. That is exactly what I was trying to avoid by asking to check the order at the window. When you have kids waiting to eat after getting home from a long drive from the city, and you order from one of their favorite places, you just want to get home, open the bag, and eat. You do not want to call the restaurant, explain what is missing, and then wait for someone to drive the correct food back to your house. A future credit does not really fix that experience. I am asking that someone take a serious look at the quality control at the Belvidere location, particularly the process for verifying orders before they are handed to customers. We only order from Tom & Jerry's about once every couple of weeks, so having four consecutive orders be incorrect seems like more than an occasional mistake. Either we have somehow been extraordinarily unlucky four times in a row, or there is a larger issue with order accuracy at this location. What concerned me further today was seeing employees goofing around inside while a very simple request to verify my order was essentially dismissed. I was not asking for anything unreasonable. I was specifically trying to prevent the exact problem that ended up happening again. We like your food and want to continue being customers. I am not looking for another credit or free meal. I would much rather see the Belvidere store improve its quality control so that when customers leave with an order, they can have confidence that what they paid for is actually in the bag.
