We have seen a lot of great hot spots to grab a bite to eat...vanish. Whether it was favorite place as a kid, or even a novelty spot that was in Rockford for a short period of time and closed up...There's been some great restaurants in Rockford that are no longer here. All we have is a memory or a vintage t-shirt.

How great would it be to win the lottery, and open one of these Rockford restaurants back up! I know there are a lot more than these 10, but see if this does anything for you.

Maybe these places will spark a memory, so much so that you can taste it!

So if you have more to add, let me know! captain.jack@townsquaremedia.com

 

Tumbleweed -  I remember the chips and refried beans for sure.
