    Don't go here. You'll spend almost $55 to feed four people and get ripped off, like this. This was just one of the ways they ripped us off.

    Don't go here. We spent $55 for a family of four and they ripped us off every way they could. Practically empty cheese cups. Underfilled milkshakes, tiny chicken tenders. French fries with barely anything in the cups. Don't do it.

    While in Rockford for a girls baseball tourney, my other coaches suggested I try this restaurant. At first I was skeptical because the reviews were not that great, but as I have mentioned before, I want to try different places and judge them myself. So one day after our game we came here. It was pretty busy but we got seated in less than 10 minutes. Upon entering, the motif was like and old diner, it was clean and staff were friendly. When we were seated it didn't take too long for us to be waited on. The menu had so many choices my brain was pretty overwhelmed. They not only served just the plain ol burger but steak burgers...yes, you heard me, STEAKBURGERS! Also If you want a great milkshake, well theirs tops the list. They have 21 variations and boy I tried two of them and they were ahhhhmazing! So here is what was on the menu: White Truffle Steakburger: It's a 6 oz. hand-crafted Prime Steakburger topped with Swiss cheese, grilled button mushrooms, caramelized onions and Truffle Aioli sauce on a toasted brioche bun and served with fries: I was so surprised by the way this tasted. It was literally like a gourmet burger. I totally loved the fries...they were thin and perfectly crunchy yet soft, not oily....YUM! The Bacon Lover's Steakburger: Double patty steakburgers with 2 slices of hardwood smoked bacon, and American cheese on a toasted bun and served with fries: my daughter said this is number 2 in her top five favorite burgers Jalapeno Crunch Steakburger: double Steakburger with pepperjack cheese, chipotle mayo, homemade salsa, jalapenos and fried onions: if you like spicy, this will make your day. My hubby is super picky about his burgers and he just LOVED this. Orange milkshake: just like an orange julien freeze but better!!!!! Mint oreo chip milkshake: just can't get enough of this! So all in all I would definitely come back. The only reason i couldn't give it a 5 star was because it took awhile for the food to come out. But hey, fresh takes longer right? Another plus....its open 24/7 If your going to rockford for any reason, you have to try this place out.

    Strawberry shake in what appears to be their small coffee cup

    I pulled up to the drive through and ordered a strawberry shake. I waited several minutes for it at the order window & then was handed a small coffee cup with the shake. Seriously?! -- I have ZERO reason to ever go to the Rockford Steak & Shake ever again.

    I got a shake that was half filled, I asked the lady about it she was nice and said she'd make a new one because the machine dispenses the shakes on its own. I got my new shake it was still the same but I let it be. I go to eat my meal and my hotdog has mold on the bun.

    I got the country skillet which is a combo of eggs, sausage, biscuits, cheese and hash browns. I love this dish as it has all of my favorites. The food was good, but the service was slow. There was only one other person in the restaurant when I entered. I was seated by one employee then had to wait awhile for a second employee to take my drink order. Then I had to wait awhile for a third employee to take my food order. Then I had to wait for my ticket after completing my meal because the large number of employees were sitting on the stools talking. Good food, mediocre service. My ticket, before tip was $11.73.

I have been here many times with our family and I can honestly say I've never had a thing I didn't like. The most recent time we came, I had the vegan zoodle dish and it was great! Most places don't have something to fit my super limited dietary needs, but TOC did and it was very tasty. The managing of the restaurant has been the negative part in our experience. For example, we came this past Easter with our extended family (our yearly tradition we usually look forward to), we've had a reservation for weeks, and they weren't ready with our table for 15+ minutes after our reservation time, and especially with our group having two 88 year olds, it's not comfortable or safe to make them wait that long with no table seats. When they did seat us, they gave us 1 waitress for probably 25 people, when in years past they've given us 2-3 servers (and that worked great). The server we had was over and above nice and helpful, so none of it was her fault, it was just the restaurant planning side of things that was a disappointment. Our reservations were at 1, we didn't eat till almost 3. Almost 2 full hours to get our food. Granted, it was a holiday, so I didn't take off more stars for that, but that's never happened to us before and we all left with a metaphorical bad taste in our mouths. So hopefully this was just a bad day they had, and if it was, I'd for sure come back. But if that's the new normal, I don't think I would.

    Such an amazing experience…read more Starting off with the restaurant itself, such a beautifully curated spot that is unlike anything rockford has to offer. Every detail a work of art. We really enjoy the bar area and its ambiance but hope to also experience the dining room as well. We started off with the Dip of the day which was a Miso Ranch dip served with fresh made tortilla chips. This was phenomenal and my only complaint is there wasn't more! We also both ordered a drink off of their happy hour menu. I ordered the old Fashioned and my wife ordered their margarita. Both were excellent. I also ordered the VIEUX CARRÉ based on our Server's recommendation and thoroughly enjoyed that. Such knowledgeable staff makes a big difference. For our main course, I got their Mushroom Pot Pie and my wife ordered the Ora King Salmon. Both dishes blew us away. Neither of us expected to be so full after our meals, their serving sizes were very generous! I wanted to highlight the mushroom pot pie, as a vegetarian, Fine dining usually does not cater to vegetarians. So having options at a place this nice was such a welcomed surprise. The greens included with the Pot Pie really stole the show, The most perfectly cooked and seasoned greens I have ever had. Chef Nick Risseeuw came over and checked on how we were doing and after hearing me rave about his pot pie offered two of his desserts on the house. We got a pistachio orange dessert and a Malt ball ice cream that was his interpretation of whopper candy as an ice cream. Both were DIVINE! Thank you again Nick for your generosity, it was a perfect way to end a perfect meal. I also wanted to highlight the staff as they played an essential role in our unbelievable experience. Everyone was so friendly, attentive, and prompt. We will definitely return soon and cannot wait to see what is in store for their upcoming menu
