I've been here two consecutive years while burning time in Rock Falls. During my vistits I've had…read moreChimichanga's, Mexican Rice, Tater tots, boneless wings and fries. Pros: + in terms of a bar and grill style restaurants the food quality is really good. They definately embrae southwest flavor very well. Of all the food items I've had, I had not been disappointed. + Great ambience. A large venue, clean, and they have slots here. Even the mens room is well kept. Over the last two years they have taken great care of the place. A very large outdoor seating area and music stage suggests this place can hop on the weekends. + decent amount of parking. Despite lacking a private lot, the fact its on a corner makes up for most of it. + staff was very attentive. Not a lot of screwing around with them. + you can tell the locals and regulars love this place overall. Rightfully so Cons: - I really had to dig for true cons here. Don't underestimate food portions here. Most will be stuffed by departure. - Ummm.... yeah I don't do well with tall bar seating. With the exception of the outside.... most seating is tall. Can be a challenge for those with disability. And yes that front door was a pain to open :) Bottom line: Whiskey Barrel Saloon does better at the bar and grill thing than most in my own local scene. Food quality is high, place is clean, staff disciplined. What more can one ask for? Definately would be a regular if local. Mad Respect to Frankie for getting that door for me.

Parking is on-street parking on 2 sides of the rather large building. There is one handicap parking…read morespot with half the parking spots having a large step to get from the street to the sidewalk. The building has no steps to enter the building, but you may need help opening the door if using an assistive device. The building was very clean and had many seating options with a large bar in the center and an outdoor area for when the weather is fitting. They have multiple tv's placed all around the building some showing sports others playing music videos. The music playing was a little loud to chat over the lunch hour however it is a bar. The server was friendly and even though she appeared to be stretched pretty thin she tried very hard to keep up. The menu is varied with many options including but not limited to sandwiches, burritos, appetizers, and many flavors of wings. The food we ordered was all very good and served hot and fresh in a timely manner. We ordered a couple of different flavors of wings which were saucy so it might have been a good thing had they provided wetnaps of some type. The chimichanga was so large I was unable to eat it all. The pulled pork sandwich was a large portion and came with a side. The onion rings were also a hit with all who tried them. The prices were good and it was easy to pay using the QR code on the receipt which I appreciated.

If I was the manager I'd not allow! However the night manager was more concerned about being friends with the shift it appeared and sounded. We even heard staff complaining of new management not allowing staff to eat during shifts but this one manager doesn't care. Not good for customers to be a part of your drama! We just don't care! Also, when you have use by dates on food and its expired. Perhaps don't have it facing in the beverage cooler for all to see! Really made me question what I don't see.
