    We had a delightful time here with our family. The chicken dinner was delicious but it only comes with one side dish. Service was good but not great. Had to keep asking for things. Like taking away our dirty dishes. A spoon. Ect. Kind of pricey for what you get. $$$$

    Good food! They are know for the Chicken George and the Jan sauce. We ordered the mix appetizer, it’s a mix of all the fried foods. It was so good! I order a salad and added got the Chicken George on top. It was delicious! My husband got the Porky George, it was ribs and the George Chicken his sides were macaroni & cheese and mashed potatoes and brown gravy. We all left super full and satisfied. Staff was super friendly and took great care of us! (The ONLY thing slightly wrong was the macaroni and cheese was a bit dry.)

    The best fried chicken/chicken fingers I've ever had! Staff was on point, food came out fast, and the waitress and owner checked on us multiple times. I can't imagine being within 30 miles of here and not getting some Chicken George. We will be back!

    Holy Smokes! A favorite of ours! Got to order the chicken George. But everything I've had has been Wonderful Was back today. Pictures are from today January 13th, 2023. Revised menu. Kept the the classics and added some newbies.i liked everything I've had. Still love the atmosphere. Shout out to our server Corrie (sp?) He has waited on us a couple times and always great. I forgot my left overs and came back for them. Too late but Corrie made sure I had some to take home so not too late. Thank you! The staff works well together like a team helping each other and are always friendly and helpful. It says a lot about a place when the staff chooses to stay there for years and I guess that we come back for years too Oh the dishes in the pictures are the prime rib with mashed potatoes and gravy, broccoli fettuccine alfredo with "prime chicken" on top (the prime chicken was scrumptious) and sweet potato fries, and the mixed platter appetizer

    First time here. Had the chopped salad and a steak cucumber wrap with French onion soup. The soup was out of this world. The wrap was absolutely delicious and the salad was perfect. The cucumber ranch was a pleasant surprise and worth coming back for. Our server was sweet and patient with our questions. Our issue was the booth was very tight and the large group there was obnoxiously loud.

    Looks great The 6:00 on Thursday night walked right in is that right down very friendly people at the front and a very nice waitress. Apparently the chicken George is the thing to eat here so I'm having the combo steak and chicken George The dinner salad was excellent 🤠👍 8/10/2023 And on the way out to my car I just noticed they have a huge koi pond with a nice water feature and water fall and many large koi happily swimming around 😀

    This was our first visit to the Rock Falls Location. Got right in. Very nice inside. Excellent food and service. I had Buffalo George and we split a combo appetizer. I also had a Modelo. Definitely go back.

    Just stopped in and had dinner with my wife. Let's just say, I will be coming back again. Tried the Chicken George then I had to have my own order. The sauce for the Chicken George was a little unique. A little goes a long way. The chicken was very juicy and I can see why they are famous for it. My wife parmesan crusted whitefish. It was excellent. My wife has a side salad with their signature creamy cucumber dressing. No complaints and my wife is typically not a fan of cucumbers. The restaurant is quite nice inside and the staff were friendly. Food came out quickly, but we arrived early before any rush. We both left full and pleased with our meals. As for cost this place is extremely budget friendly. My half pound Chicken George was only $8.50. I had two sided and a non alcoholic drink for $5.50 (it is a special at the time for their 55th anniversary). I will definitely be stopping in again.

    My experience is this. My sister in law and I did a call in order The ladies there are great! But let me tell you about the manager. This fellow is the rudest person I have ever met. He was chewing the lady out at the front desk saying no one eats outside he didn't care what the customer wanted the answer is no. He butted in on the conversation I was having with the wonderful lady at the front. Rude, just rude. If anyone can do anything about it. I would either have a HARD TALK or FIRE him.

    This was during afternoon lunch hours so there were only a couple other tables of people there we could see amongst the 2 areas we were in and near, so very slow at this time during a weekday. Good time to go for faster service! Lol. But the food was Excellent. I got a house side salad and it came with a nice, soft little breadstick and lots of veggies, and I chose the cucumber dressing and it was a lovely, little salad. We got fried mushrooms and onion rings for appetizers and I believe those were the best of both items that Id ever tried. Just heavenly! 😋👌🏽 lol. The chicken George was our entrée and I can say that was the best order of it that I've ever eaten as it was all fried to perfection whereas other times I've eaten this dish they were kind of soft and not fried as well so not as flavorful and not as crisp. 10/10 I give the food. 👌🏽✨️ Now the service is the reason for a lack of 5 stars... we were Finally seated and this dude l say, young man with an unfriendly attitude, asks how many in our party and then turns and proceeds to walk away after we answered, without saying a word, like as if he was headed on a mission to go see what seats were available, maybe, but who know since he aint said anything. Smh... So he gets a few feet away and I decided to ask, would you like us to follow you maybe?? Lol. He's, like, "oh yea". Smh... He then, without even Asking if we want to sit there, puts us in the bar section. 😑 We hate bar sections and so finally asked to be moved somewhere else and thankfully the waiter dude obliged us quickly to the lovely section you see in my pictures. He then kind of tosses two menus on the table as well as two place settings and walks away again without telling us his name. He did turn around at least and ask if we want anything to drink, thankfully, but still no name, lol. 🤷🏽‍♀️ This was only my 2nd time at this place so I hadn't seen all of the seating areas yet. The shots of seating and decor that I took are from a very cozy, nice and smaller section at the front of the restaurant right off of the bar area. He did do good with taking our order and getting it to us in a timely manner. While we ate, a young girl came to replace him, her name was Luz and she was Nice and smiled at us, as servers are supposed to, okay, lol. 😂👏🏽👌🏽 Dude never smiled at us is why I'm saying it. Lol. Smh... I do recommend this place overall!

    Family restaurant with decor that resembles a supper club. The signature dish is chicken tenders (Chicken George) with a variety of sauces available. There are also steaks, seafood, sandwiches and fried chicken available. The fried chicken was quite crispy and well prepared. Definitely a place to go for a special family dinner or takeout, without breaking the budget.
