- OTOpenTable DinerChicago / Illinois •1 review5.0Dined 5 days agoOur server Aubrey was amazing she is super friendly and super attentive. Everyone there was super friendly from the time we walked in, to the time we left. We went for our daughters 23rd birthday we had 8 kids under 14 yrs old most under 10 they where a little loud and the kids haven't seen each other in a while so they where excited but they accommodated for it. We did make a reservation for 16 people we had 15 people total, and we had extra seating for about 5 extra spots, so everyone wasn't crowded when we got there, i really APPRECIATED that. Our daughter had the best birthday dinner. Thank you, Famous Dave's in Rockford. Thank you again Aubrey.More infoFamous Dave's - RockfordPrice: Moderate• American• Rockford•5

- TSTomSNashville •2 reviews5.0Dined on Feb 28, 2025Took 40 min before waitress stopped at our table we did 2 trips to the bar for drinks on our own while we waited ( bar was great) for service. Waitress was very sorry and blamed it on hostess for not telling her we were seated. She did an outstanding job. We missed the beginning of the concert at the Coronado. Great hotel- just a bad night of service. Will go backMore infoTower Kitchen & BarPrice: Moderate• American• Rockford•4.2
