    Salt 251

    Great spot for a wedding! Golf course setting, outdoor ceremony indoor reception. 531 south 7th street Rochelle IL.

    Salt 251 - North corner of restaurant.

    A friend and I decided to visit this place for dinner. We arrived at around 7 p.m. and there was about 10 people at the bar. A sign said "seat yourself", so we chose a location in the corner, far from the bar. We were the sole table and the bartender was also waiting tables in the dining room. After 15 minutes of waiting to be greeted, she came to our table and sincerely apologized for not noticing us. A couple of minutes longer and we would have walked out. After a couple months of being open, the restaurant still has a very limited menu. We both ordered cheeseburgers, fries and sodas. While we were waiting for our food, the bar crowd was a little bit loud and rowdy, talking about conversations that you wouldn't want your children to hear. After we placed our order, the food came out relatively quickly and was delicious!! My friend said she would definitely come back for the cheeseburger. Just a few tips to the owner: the entrance being in the back is a bit confusing. There needs to be a sign by the sidewalk instead of a note on the door. You never hear any locals talk about Salt 251. Advertising locally and supporting another local business at the same time could help. The tables right next to the bar make it hard to walk around the bar to the dining room, especially if people are standing near the bar. And if you are going to ask people to seat themselves, make sure the bartender is attentive. An old restaurant across the street used to have similar issues and now is permanently closed. The decor and bar area is very nice! Hopefully the above improvements are made and this local business stays in operation for a long time!

    We were in town to see a performance at the Vince Carney Community Theater, and found Acres Bistro…read morethanks to Yelp. Other than having to deal with a freight train that stopped on the tracks right as we were trying to get to the restaurant from the theater, and having to go way out to the west end of town to get around it, everything about our experience was superb! I'm pretty sure we were seated by the owner, who was amazing to talk to. You could tell she loved what she did and what they provide to their customers. She put us in the charge of the bartender, who brought our drinks, took our orders, and checked on us regularly throughout the meal, even though she was doing double duty. We had a large lunch, so we weren't going to eat much for dinner. As soon as I read the menu I realized I was going to have a hard time deciding, but I love cinnamon ice cream, so I knew I needed to leave enough room for dessert. I ended up ordering the grilled cheese, which came with bacon (hold the tomato), and the homemade chips as my side. Everything was delicious. I brought half of my meal home, and it was just as delicious when reheated with my air fryer a few days later. My husband had the Acres Pretzel, which was huge and yummy. (I had a bite to try it!) The cheese sauce with it was thinner than expected, but very good. We started out with a Manhattan for me and some Lena Brewing caramel pecan coffee stout for him. Mine was perfectly crafted, and I took a sip of his, which was also yummy. In addition to my cinnamon ice cream, we each had a dessert drink. He had the Chocolate Caramel Kiss, and I had the Banana Bread. Again, very yummy. The cost of all of this came to under $75, which we thought was marvelous. Coming out from the city, the prices here are definitely more reasonable and much appreciated! We have this restaurant on our radar now, so anytime we are out this way again, we will head there. We are already making plans to come out and see a show next summer, if not before that. To the owner and all the other staff, thanks for such a lovely experience! You have a wonderful establishment!

The entrance is a little hard to find as you have to walk thru a small boutique store to enter the restaurant. Fortunately for us,a nice lady who worked in the store came out and took us to the restaurant. I believe they are all owned by the same person We were lucky enough to get a table on their ekevated patio that overlook the alley garden. Alyssa was our server and was super helpful and friendly. My wife started with their Lemon Lavender Gin Spritz which was one of the many crafted cocktails they offer. I had a nice white wine blend that was suggested off their extensive wine list. We shared the Bruschetta Burrata with toast on the side as my wife is Gluten free. Super fresh and very tasty. They offer many made from scratch sandwiches and entrees along with a few daily specials A real hidden gem located in Rochelle on Lincoln Highway.

We ordered the the 12 piece dinner as you can see in the photo of their not updated website menu. It says that you get 12 chicken strips, 4 rolls, 1 family sized side and one pint size side. I ordered this meal, plus: As follows 12 Strips The family size and pint mashed potatoes with the gravy on the side. 2 extra pint sized sides: baked beans and coleslaw. Sides of honey mustard dips. My husband got home with our food we unpacked it and for the third time we had no coleslaw. So he grabbed the receipt and went back. I noticed that we didn't got our bread either. So I called ahead to let them know of the missing items. The young person that answered the phone first told me that bread is no longer included as part of the order. They no longer carry bread, they have biscuits and if you want those they are one of your sides or xtra money. ( go online and update your menu!) then she added that it was policy that if he didn't arrive at country school with the bag of food purchased with him, that they would not give us the coleslaw. I was flabbergasted. Two other times we went in with the receipt no food and were given the slaw. Not Today! She went on to tell me that for the inconvenience for having to come back for the coleslaw it was their policy to remake the entire order. I am sorry this does not make any sense to me. You will remake me a whole new $44 order to replace my $2 pint of coleslaw that you charged me $5.29? During my call I went back to the website to re-check the rolls, and if it said anything's it said anything about bringing back the entire order to prove missing items. I did call back to talk to the manager. Waste of time. I will call and talk to the owners son tomorrow and up-date after the call. It may make or break if we ever go back to to country school again. As my son said. Thank goodness there is two other places in town that have very good fried chicken. We just wish they sold it family style!

    Very cheap for how good the food is 5 stars no doubt I had the best service and the yummiest food!…read moreAnd the place inside was so clean!

I was skeptical because it's in the Rochelle Airport. I'm glad we decided to try it out. We went on a Wednesday night, and it wasn't very busy. There was a large group there, but plenty of tables available. The tables/booths do need so updating as they are starting to show the signs of age. Open ceiling, standard bar décor, patio area, view of the runway... This is a standard bar and grill. Nothing fancy. As for the food. I ordered the mozzarella sticks and the Black N Blue Brisket Burger. The cheese sticks were of decent size, had an okay flavor. I feel they were a little over cooked, but they were still good. The burger was above average. Definitely better than anything you get at a fast food restaurant and the fries were also above average. Over all the food isn't anything wowing, but it's good and I did enjoy my meal. Now here's the selling points: !) for all of my Gluten Free peeps out there. They can replace the bread on any sandwich with a gluten free wrap for a $3 upcharge. 2) Everyone one of their signature drinks can be made alcohol free, thus turning them into Mocktails. I ordered a blackberry hibiscus mule mocktail and my friend got the same with alcohol. We both thought they were delicious. Our service was good. The waitress was friendly and attentive. We had no issues. I think this might be a regular stop for the both of us.

I…read moresincerely doubt the aptitude of any man or woman to describe such a venue in the beauty it currently stands with sufficient justification ... but I will do my best. I stiffly stumbled in, a tired and hungry sack of flesh and bones, groggy-eyed from staring at nothing but heavy downpour for the last hour of driving up highway 39. I left this Subway, in a new way. Reborn. Refreshed. Enlightened. My feet led me to the end of the line where two Midwestern American gentlemen patiently were served with grace. At first glance the menu overwhelmingly shouted mouthwatering entrees at me. In masochistic form, I winced at the possibility of so many good flavorful options. "What can I get started for you today, sir?" My eyes remained closed but my jaw dropped as if to utter something coherent, entrapped in a spell of desire, seduced by the sweet irresistible Subway scents. "Hello?" He beckoned me back to Earth. In excitement my tastebuds sent a rush to my head, blurring my vision as I mumbled out the words, "Footlong Chicken Bacon Ranch Melt on Wheat, please ...". Sidestepping to my right, I watched as this young man scooped layers of chicken, cheddar cheese, and perfectly textured bacon onto my pillows of grain. How were both meats already prepared? What type of mystical wizard worked behind this green and yellow branded glass? An Arcane Master no doubt, a descendant of Merlin the Celtic Druid, a keeper of ancient secrets and lore. He handed off the masterpiece to his Elder Artisan (who later grieved him over the correct way to push the toast brisket button) and went on to serve my girlfriend. Without hesitation I substituted Ranch for Light Mayonnaise and requested several other key additions: crisp Romaine for a fresh pop, tomatoes for a tad of juicy acidic spice, white onions masterfully sliced, and of course jalapeño fragments to tie it all together. Reluctantly I returned to a seated positioned as I unsheathed my sandwich. It had been several years since visiting a Subway, so I noticed and appreciated the new branding of their cups and sandwich wrapper coloring. Simple, inviting, and playful. Before me laid 12 inches of a tasteful juxtaposition of spice, savory meats, and cream all melted into one succinct composition. My jowls unhinged, cleaving through the first half of the melt in matter of seconds. I could not be stopped. My gaze was locked on the second half, unbroken until consuming the very last bite of this modern marvel. It was over too soon. Gone in a flash. Should I get another? No. I must push onwards. Further up 39 to Wisconsin. Thank you Subway for your gift to me on this sacred day. I push north a happy man knowing the right way, Subway.
