It had been a while…read more This is a place where you have pens and menus at the table, and you mark your table number and what food you want. We started with their cheese curds. I was so hungry and they were so tasty that I forgot to "feed" the camera first. We both got the same burger - a Single Knuckle Burger with pepperjack cheese, along with lettuce, tomato, onion. My wife ordered their loaded Bloody Mary, which was very good - it's a shoe-in to win the Best of Ogle County if people try it. The burgers were very good. They now have a draft beer, so I ordered one and it tasted fine. This is basically a side of the road bar and restaurant, ambiance wise. Nothing fancy, but not run down either. Just good food.

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!

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.

It has fun cocktails and food along with some vegetarian friendly things. A lot about aviation to look at if wanting to read about it. The prices are okay in lighter items if looking to save calories and money. Best reason to go to the airport in town because there's not much else. It's located inside the entrance to the terminal or whatever building it is. The building is actually pretty small making it easy to find the bar and restaurant. Get cheap cocktails. It's $6 to get the Tito's Punch. Entrees are kind of pricy to be honest. It's about $9 for the Garden Salad. Has the basic toppings in it. Spend a few bucks more to put on the vegetarian chicken strips. Among the rest of the menu it's pretty meaty. There's chicken sandwiches and wraps among other things. For sure it's great if you like aviation. It's closed Mondays and only open for breakfast and lunch Sundays. They're open longer the rest of the week.

When we arrived, two groups were eating in the dining area. There are two dart boards, a video Touch Tunes Juke Box, a bowling game and a Pac Man Pixel Bash game on the south wall. We were greeted promptly and provided with menus. We went with their fried cheesy mac with ranch dressing for an appetizer. My wife ordered their Rum Bucket, which actually came served in a small, plastic bucket with a handle. It was rum, pineapple juice, and more. She said it tasted good. I went with a beer. For the main courses, my wife had their fried fish, which she said was hot out of the fryer. I had the Italian Beef sandwich with giardiniera (which was a 50 cent add on.) Both came with fries and a serving of cole slaw. I had a dish of au jus with the Italian Beef which wasn't listed on the menu. The food was fresh and tasted fine. The giardiniera was liberally applied to the top of the stuffed sandwich, but not so much inside. The Italian Beef sandwich was so full, it was hard to get it distributed into the roll. The roll was slightly toasted. The fish serving was two large pieces. We both were satisfied with the portions. This place is just starting out. The bar was empty or had one or two people - it could use some more local support.

The place was deserted - there was one couple here but they were waiting for their pizza. The dining room (see the pictures) has a TV on the east end. The tables and chairs were comfortable. They seem to get a lot of carry out business. We ordered an Aldo's Special Pizza, with spinach substituted for bacon. The pizza came out nice and piping hot after around 20 minutes. The toppings were fresh and tasty. The crust was a little dry, but it was okay. There was oregano present on the pizza. I swear all the pizza places in Rochelle that aren't chains except for this one think oregano is unavailable or something, but along with a little fennel, it really makes pizza better. Our drink glasses stayed filled - we stuck with soft drinks tonight, and water.

No problem. 20 minutes pass and still waiting. I go up to front counter and ask what's taking so long. Supposedly a party group came in and ordered a bunch of pizzas after my order. ( they take precedence I guess). 45 minutes later I get the order. Talked to Aldo and straightened things out with a 7 dollars off my order. That wasn't offered (was my suggestion for having to wait so long) with no apologies for the long wait. No communication was given by front staff that the order would take so long. I was upset at this point. Aldo must of been at the bar having a few by his demeanor. I get the pizzas home and open them. One pizza was thinner than a graham cracker. The pizza wasn't fully cooked so the hot melted cheese made the cracker crust soggy. Grossest pizza I ever had. I called up to talk to Aldo after a 10 minute wait on the phone. Front end needs proper training in customer service, attitude, and communication with its customers. Aldo said what can I do to make it right. I asked him what would you do if this happened to you? He said you don't want to go there. I suggested the pizza should be free at this point for such a horrible service. He ended up laughing and hung the phone up on me. I've been a customer of this establishment for over 25 years and this is how you treat a loyal customer? Beyond bad. Aldo, it's time to hang your boots up and give full ownership to your son and retire. 0- stars You lost a loyal customer.

The lot was very full when we pulled in and I was afraid there would be a wait for a table, but we didn't have to wait.

I ordered Eggs Benedict and it was perfect. They were generous with the hollandaise sauce which suits me just fine. The American fries were delicious -- a very generous serving! My only complaint is their iced tea is either instant or made from concentrate. I should have gotten coffee. We'll go back the next time we're in town.
