saw this place recently while driving by after-hours, decided this morning to go for brunch instead…read moreof somewhere closer in rockford & it was SO WORTH IT!! didn't grab any photos because we all ate our food so quickly. my very picky 6 year old devoured the kids 1 egg breakfast that also came with bacon, hashbrowns, & toast. she always gets sourdough but this one was baked with everything bagel seasoning in it, & to our surprise she (& we) was obsessed with it. my husband got the Hash Stack which looked & smelled great! he said it was delicious. i got the french toast breakfast - it was wonderful!! portion sizes are very good, pricing is even better!! they make their own hot sauce which we ended up buying to have at home. staff was all extremely friendly & attentive to the tables - i never had to wait for coffee. it's very cute inside! it is a small place but service is fast so even if it's full, people wouldn't have to wait long. we will be adding this to our favorites especially because it's very hard to get 3 meals for ~$30 these days, especially one that was as good as this! also, coffee was great!

The gravy didn't taste homemade and the hash browns had a very weird taste to them. We stopped here traveling from Chicago to Galena because it has great reviews. My husband enjoyed his salisbury steak meal snd would get it again.

One of the best deals on the planet!…read more Super nice waitresses that provide excellent service. They put down a basket of fresh rolls, butter, and crackers as soon as you sit down. Pretty much everything comes with soup or salad, including a grilled cheese! French fries for $.99 more including a dessert! Good food at great prices served with a smile in a homey atmosphere! Woot woot!

5 stars for Jerry's Cafe in Rockford…read more This is a nice breakfast & lunch cafe in Rockford with some classic breakfast and lunch dishes with some Mexican dishes as well. I tried the Corned Beef Hash Skillet and the Shrimp & Grits - both were very good and big portion sizes that will definitely fill you up. The service was good, the place inside has plenty of seating but just know that it can get very busy on weekend days. Overall, a nice place to stop for a meal for breakfast or lunch.

Expectation level: Mom and Pop Diner…read more I go to a lot of places like this, and the Parks have a lot to choose from whether it be Sunrise, Docs, Potato Shak, Hollywood etc. Honestly I expected more of the same. Decent meal, possibly a little bland. In this case however I was pleasantly surprised. Pros: -Most diner and cafe style meals I have usually have a little dryness to them, or lacking flavor, but Nori's was a tad more flavorful with the corn, heartier with the soup, and my american fries / chopped steak were not all dried out. I was really impressed. -Might be a smidge more expensive than other similar joints, but its only a hair. -VERY casual atmosphere Cons: This place is seriously dated, and could really use a face lift. It has nothing to do with the food, but Nori's is a bit old school, and I feel their booths are a bit cramped. Bottom line: I want to give Nori's another try just to confirm, but if the place had even a 50% improvement on the atmosphere's dating it could be a 5 star in my mind.

The food however was just bad. The hash browns were old and rubbery. There was barely any sausage in the biscuits and gravy although the biscuits were actually quite good. The toast was not toasted, just buttered bread. Since I had a skillet, those awful hash browns were in everything and just ruined it. They were really bad. I would not eat there again.
