We stopped in here before going to see a movie back in November. They were part of a burger…read morechallenge that was happening in Stephenson County, my girl friend's youngest son recommended the place, plus it is located directly across from the theater. It was decided that Morts & Saint's was going to be our dining experience for the night. Upon arrival the place came across as a total dive bar. Don't get me wrong, I love dive bars, they have some of the best food and the locals usually are willing to bend your ear with tales about the town. The seating area was small, only a handful of tables and the bar. We had a group of 6, which meant we had to take up two tables. That's not an issue for us, but keep in mind it's not good for groups. Let's just get to the brass tacks of this review. I don't recommend Morts & Saint's. The first thing I noticed is that the cooking area is behind the counter where you can see everything the cook does, I mean EVERYTHING... Like most dive bars the place could use some repairs... and cleaning. A lot of cleaning. From the looks of the signs, clocks, decorations, etc... The internet may still have been dial up the last time someone cleaned it thoroughly. Everyone of us ordered burgers, I watched as the cook pulled the frozen patties out of the chest freezer next to the flat top and put them on with his bare hands, no gloves... no washing... handling other food items, then doing other tasks, only to go back to food handling again.... Multiple times. The burgers were frozen patties thrown on grill... no thawing, no seasoning... just on the grill that moments before was used to prepare something else. I had the Lena Rae burger, I others ordered the Mort Burger, the Flamin' Mort, and a Swiss Mushroom. Honestly, the best part of the burger was Chips that came with them. The burger itself was mediocre at best. How people are saying this is the best burger in town is beyond me. Honestly, they only thing I can say positive about the burger is that for the price, it's not bad. Each burger at the time we went was between $6 to $8. It's not a bad burger, it's just painfully average. However, if they keep their prices like that, I can see how it will attract people. If you enjoy a good dive bar, you don't want to spend money, and you feel like risking a good health code violation or two... Morts & Saint's is for you. ...oh and the service is what you expect. Local staff spending more time talking to regulars. Our waitress seemed to be more concerned with flirting with customers at the bar than taking orders, filling drinks, bringing us a check, etc.

After talking to our wonderful waitress and telling her it's our first time here, she suggested to us the Ribeye Philly Sandwich and the Aloha Burger and the Cheese Curds for an appetizer. After looking at the menu for a few minutes, I chose the Ribeye Philly Sandwich and Jr chose the Junction burger. We both subbed fries for the chips and also ordered a 1/2 order of onion rings and the Cheese Curds. The Cheese Curds were amazing. I've never had such great tasting cheese curds before. The onion rings were cooked perfectly. Both our sandwiches were outstanding. We both said "were coming back here again". Gotta try more stuff here! Thank you!

I gave the waitress $100.00 (5 twenties) on a $69.00 dollar check and requested change for the tip. Unfortunately she returned with $11.00 and some small change and when i pointed out she was 20 short she seemed confused and went back to the bar to check. After another short exchange between me and her she went again to the bar and returned with my 20 so I'm okay. I just hope she didn't get stiffed by the guy behind the bar who rang up the bill and they figured out the mistake. P.S. She ended up with the 20 cause i still didn't have change for the tip.

The service and wait time have been getting worse and worse. I was there this week and it was over a 50 min. wait, and it wasn't that busy for 3 or 4 waitresses. The food was Lukewarm and for the prices they charge, was not worth it. I asked for a medium cooked steak, and it came out well inside and for $25, I'll pass. This was all on a Tuesday night. I will be heading into Freeport from now on. I like support local business, but I just can't anymore with Big O's. Sorry Big O's.

Staff is very friendly and attentive. The ambiance is comfortable. My only complaints are that it's a little cramped inside and all the tables are high tops which makes it not very kid-friendly (not that that's necessarily a bad thing but the first time I went was with two little ones). They also put those godforsaken video gambling machines inside the namesake "Vault" which is kind of tacky. As a Chicago native living in rural NW Illinois, it has been hard to find good restaurants in the area without traveling to Rockford or Dubuque. It's great to have a place like this so close. I can't wait to go back on date night. I would love to see some outside seating

Service was super slow with one person working the packed room. Our table took a while because a local group of about 10 roving atvs riders were bar hopping and took up a good chunk of the tables just to drink beer while people wanting to sit down and eat had to wait for them to leave was just ridicules. I swooped in on a dirty table instantly when a group left. The menu is weird because there was no fried meats or sides like they don't have a grill or Fryer. I had the French dip on garlic butter hoogie roll that comes with chips. To my surprise it was very good with thin sliced Italian beef not roast beef. The Italian beef was moist and tender. The chips had a good potato flavor and seasoned nicely. My old fashioned whiskey sour was average but good. Overall it's nice place for food and drinks but the large group who took up most of the tables for a beer while bar hopping while people who wanted to eat had to wait was so selfish when there was outdoor seating and it was a nice day.
