Best Neighbourhood Gem Restaurants in Rockford

Our entire experience exceeded expectations…innovative menu was exceptional. Professional staff were gracious, experienced, personable, helpful and knowledgeable. There was tasty music and we could converse and hear. I highly recommend Young Joni for an adventure into fresh dining experience dealt by professional staff.

Always a great experience. Food is consistently good and servers are always friendly. Check on you regularly but didn’t rush us or leave us stranded.

We visited Manny’s three days in a row and are not even staying at The W! We had lunch twice and were so impressed that we’re having dinner tonight!!! The food was outstanding, and the service was top top notch! Kudos to our busboy Louis, one of the hardest working people I have met, and our waiter Jorge and waitress Catherine! All of these staff members were very hardworking, professional and friendly and made our experience exceptional. Kudos also to the manager on duty Greg Williams for helping us secure our dinner reservations and appreciating our comments.

Hell’s Kitchen was a great experience for me and my girlfriend. The server was amazing she was very attentive and even asked if we had any questions as well as offered recommendations. Food was amazing honestly we were both going to come for just burgers but ended up getting the bison birria tacos and the steak. Drinks were good. Ambiance was great with the outlook of everything. Music wasn’t our choice of music but nonetheless was a great experience all around.

Birch's served up a great Valentine's Day dinner celebration. We had the best server (Molly) in the place and enjoyed the food, cocktails and music. It was extremely busy but the staff seemed more than capable of handling it all. Table was ready quickly, servers, bar tenders and kitchen all performed well and in a timely fashion. As always, the fried chicken was awesome and they even had fresh Maine lobster.
