Took 45 minutes to get food. Burgers were burnt to a crisp and good was not the same as listed on the menu. Highly recommend Burger King across the street

Nice atmosphere, friendly staff, and for a burger bar,, yes the burgers are great. Both of us enjoyed our burger and fries, she had Johnny B Burger and I had the Bohemian without mushrooms. Worth checking out, huge game area in back, kid friendly during the day at least. Well come back. And the manager Ally came over to our table just to ask how everything was. Liked the personal touch.

This place was an absolute amazing expeirence, through and through the ONLY suggestion I have is in the future add more menu items. That being said burger was great, margarita was bomb and the game room made my inner child smile with joy!!

The vibe is cool and the service is friendly. Very clean. The cost/value of the food is where I have any issue with this place. We go to a lot of pubs and bars that serve food. I have had better food at better prices all over the place (some in that same town). I would not actively avoid this place but given the choice we would try somewhere else.

The staff is nice, although they werent the greatest at knowing their drinks. The alcohol selection was not large, but they had all the basics. The place is certainly a bit pricey, but the food was really tasty, although the menu is limited. There is a big game room, but we didnt really take advantage of it. Weve been back once since to a similar experience. They have live music, usually acoustic 1-man acts, that can be enjoyable. Not a bad place, but not a regular hang out either.

The place has a nice atmosphere, is clean, and has a good vibe. Burgers are really good but the stars of this place are the employees! Allie was fantastic (give her a raise,owners)

Just received our second Grub Hub order from Stockyard. First one was fine so we did it again. Too good to be true I guess. For 14.00 for a burger and fries, we should get a decent burger AND fries! The fries were REALLY soggy and undercooked. To top that off, it was as it someone took the lid off the salt shaker and just DUMPED the salt. I am known as the “saltaholic” in out family, and I couldn’t eat them soggy or not. They were completely inedible. They all went in the trash.

Fun little bar/grill setting. Drinks were decent and it has an excellent little arcade. Their family nights are great.

Go on a Tuesday! Unlimited fun for the kids. Burgers were decent, customer service... Could definitely use some improvement. But the boys loved the waitress lack of clothing especially when she leaned over.

Hidden gem in North Town Mall. The arcade is fun for all ages. I didnt try the food but great staff/drinks. Lively crowd.

Awesome food! I ordered a medium burger. Came out as a perfect medium. They gave me and my 2 friends about 20 dollars worth of arcade credits each for free for it being out first time there Im assuming. Then, I got like 40 bucks in arcade credits for free just because the machine for purchasing more credits wasnt working. I was only trying to load 5 dollars, so that was very generous.Also, our beautiful waitress have us excellent service. She was always on top of making sure we had what we needed.Id definitely recommend this place.

The food and the staff were good. A nice sized party room in the back next to their arcade, seats up to 100 I believe. Definitely worth a look!

Review №24

Had the breakfast burger, I saw a photo and just had to get it! A burger with cheese, a hash brown, an egg, and a little bit of a kick. I was in burger heaven. It’s not on the menu so you gotta ask for it. The only thing I’d change coming back is to ask for the fries to be a little extra crispy.

First time here. It was not very crowded. The service was fast and the food was very good. We both had burgers and fries. The burgers were super tender and cooked just right. They have a nice selection of tap beer and a huge arcade room in the back with a lot of fun games. Kids are welcome. They also have ping pong tables in a back room. All in all a pretty cool place with good food. We will make a return trip

Great burgers and fries. Wait staff and bartenders were friendly. Going to all the tables of customers already eating and drinking and telling they have to pay a $5 cover is not cool. Instead of retaining already paying customers you lost them.

This place is gross, needs a good cleaning. It smells musty and the burgers are nasty. Also, they charge for a squeeze of mayo. Who does that? We will never go back. The only good thing was the waitress she was friendly and great service and the fries were good.

Review №31

The second we walked in, Amanda greeted us and offered us a tour. We never would have known there was a game room and a private party room if she hadnt! Her service was fantastic, totally attentive and very friendly. And OMG... The burgers were DELICIOUS!!!! Perfectly seasoned and juicy burger on a toasty bun. Soooo good!!!! We will DEFINITELY be back! If I could change one thing, it would be for them to carry a few more non traditional bottled beers. Other than that, the burger I ate ranks as the second best burger Ive ever eaten! (And Ive eaten a LOT of burgers!)

Review №32

The burgers and fries were very good. Very large place. My only suggestion would be to have the waitress wear appropriate clothing. She had a hot pink bra under half of a tank top. Her belly and chest was quite visible. Her jeans were so ripped I hoped they would hold together by the few strings visible. Very unprofessional clothing for a place families might have dinner.

I read a couple negative reviews, but decided to try this place anyway. I think some people must make their own problems because we didnt have any. The place looks great, the food was really good, and our bartender treated us like we were regulars, even made sure she invited us back that evening for the live music. Prices are higher than fast food... But you get what you pay for. Both the light my bun and audio burgers were delicious, fries and onion rings above average, and they have sriracha ketchup !!!

Solid burgers (along with other tasty food) and a good place to watch live sports. I would love it if the beer selection was a bit broader, but I still enjoy visiting for a burger.

I ordered cajun fries with my burger and did not receive them. My soda was also flat and was substituted with a completely different drink. I had to find the waitress twice for these issues as she did not stop by the table, even though there was only a couple of tables occupied total. The food and signature drinks were okay; however, not nearly worth the prices charged when considering alternatives available in Rockford. The overall experience was less than stellar.

Food and service was excellent. The game rooms are awesome. It’s a little dark in the man bar area... definitely a cool spot. I’ve had bad experiences with the two other establishments connected to this owner but so far this location has a good thing going. Prices were reasonable and portions were ample. Nice addition to the neighborhood!!

As far as the environment, its just an industry standard bar. It does however have a game room which can be fun. Also, they have some great burgers here and the staff is very friendly and ontop of everything. All in all I would definitely recommend this bar.

Review №76

Well, sad to say, it appears to be filled with employees that dont like their jobs. Last night was awful! The food was bad and the service AWFUL! I didnt eat my burger that was dropped off overcooked and incorrect toppings. The waitress NEVER came near our table again until we put our coats on. She asked if I wanted it boxed up and when I said NO, it is not even what I ordered and doesnt taste good, she actually laughed and said she would tell the cook. And then charged us for the burger. This was one of my favorite places in town, they have some great events, but for food and service, I say go to Fozzys or Caseys.

We stopped into this new burger joint after hearing about it from some friends. The place is the old Boomers bar next to Gustafsons furniture off Riverside. As we walked in we were immediately greeted and sat. Our waitress was extremely friendly and outgoing. She explained the menu to us as it was our first time and proceeded to get us drinks.We tried the bbq pork belly which was just ok. A little dry and and not seasoned very well in our opinion. We both orderd burgers.... my wife had the burger that was like a big mac. It was very tasty! I had a burger with a chorizo patty on it. A bit spicy which was perfectly fine with me. Overall they were both very tasty and we wish this new place the best of luck. The addition of the arcade room in the back should help keep some people having fun while enjoying a beverage or the kids quiet. Lol
