No vanilla, no cinnamon or anything. My fiancé got pancakes with a side of bacon. The pancakes were decent, nothing spectacular. Both of our sides of bacon did come out crispy like we ordered but both sides of bacon were covered in little fuzz. It wasn't human hair it was more like fuzz of some kind. My dad got the lumberjack special. The eggs were cooked exactly like he ordered but the sausage is super low quality. Not to knock Aldi, but the sausage tasted exactly like the yellow box you get from Aldi. Needless to say we won't be back.

I live by a lot of four and five star restaurants where I live and I am spoiled! I was in Rockford…read morefor a week and I wanted to eat at a non chain restaurant. We went to the Alpine View Restaurant. Not only did we feast on tasty dishes we were treated like dignitaries. It was so good we went there for THREE dinners! They probably thought we were nuts, oh well! We came for the daily specials and some of the best homemade soup in Illinois! We tried the Ruben soup, which was creamy yummy soup with tender chunks of tasty corned beef. The broccoli and cheddar soup is the best in Illinois! It's creamy cheesy broth, pairing well with the tender broccoli bits. So yummy! We had the cabbage and corned beef; a huge plates of goodness. The fried catfish was delicious; great crust and portions were huge. The pork chop dinner with two perfectly cooked pork chops and applesauce was a home run! They were tender and so juicy! Kudos to the chef. The waitstaff were five star caliber and should be working in a five star restaurant in Chicago. Cecilia and Alli took care of us during the three dinners. They were friendly, polite, knowledgeable of the menu. They were prompt and anticipated our needs before we asked. They were excellent! A shot out to Staci who always welcomed us. Recommendations: The baked potatoes are over cooked. Make some pudding or jello please.

Her section was full and she could not accommodate anyone else at that moment. I then asked for someone just as good. They gave me Ciara. She did not disappoint. In fact, dare I say it? She was as good as my Margaret. Oh, no! I'm not supposed to have two favorites, am I? Ciara has a smile that will light up any room. Ciara is as courteous a person you would ever want to meet. Ciara holds her own in a best server contest. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Having Ciara on your staff was one of the best decisions Sunrise Family Restaurant has made.

We went in & sat ourselves as directed, then waited.... Finally someone came over with menus & drink inquiries. Then we waited again for a waitress to take our order- my boyfriend thought ours was rather snotty. We got our food quickly, and that was the last we saw of our waitress until we finished our meal. She came by with someone else's food and I flagged her over. No interest in whether the food was to our liking, if I needed more coffee - nothing. My meal was pretty good, but his chicken breast sandwich was dry, only salvaged by the tomato slice & cheese. I guess we'll find another lunch spot. :(

Friendly place, but the food was underwhelming!!!…read more Riverside Family Restaurant has a comfortable, family-friendly atmosphere, but the overall experience didn't quite meet expectations. The food was just okay--some dishes felt bland and not as fresh as hoped. Portions were reasonable, but flavor and presentation were lacking. Service was polite, though it felt a bit slow and inattentive at times, even when the restaurant wasn't very busy. The space itself was clean and casual, which is a plus. Overall, Riverside Family Restaurant has potential, but improvements in food quality and consistency are needed. With more attention to detail, it could become a much better dining option.

Riverside Family Restaurant - State St, Rockford, IL…read more My wife and I stopped in for a quick breakfast and decided to give this place a try since they recently opened and it's close to our home. We were pleasantly surprised from the moment we walked in. The restaurant is warm, welcoming, and very clean, with plenty of booth and table seating, making it a comfortable spot whether you're dining solo or with a group. The staff was incredibly friendly and offered some great recommendations. We both went with the classic breakfast staple -- bacon, eggs, toast, and hash browns. My wife also added a pancake and sausage, and everything came out hot, fresh, and well-prepared. Simple, classic breakfast done right. The pricing was very reasonable, and for what you pay, the portion sizes are generous, easily leaving you satisfied and full. They also offer dinner on the weekends, which is great to see, and I can't wait to come back and try it. I would highly recommend Riverside Family Restaurant for breakfast, dinner, or anything in between with family, friends, or even just a quick solo meal. You won't be disappointed.
