Ali Baba - (Near Rockford, IL)

Deborah Mallek Driving through we looked for a restaurant that was quick off the highway. Called ahead and ordered Gyros to go. We stopped to pick them up and decided to eat there instead. Gyros would have been messy in the vehicle. We made the right decision! Amanda was our server and extremely accommodating when we said we wanted to change our order to eat inside. They only had the soup prepared so it wasn’t a problem at all. Our meal came with the Gyro on Pita with a potato and other side. It was a lot of food for the cost. We asked for the pita to be grilled crispy and it was done the most perfect we’ve ever had. The gyro meat was cut in smaller pieces instead of long slices but it made the food much easier to eat. We each at cream of potato soup. We had fruit and onion rings as a side. It was a large portion of onion rings. This place is worth the stop! We didn’t have the buffet but took pics of it. The salad bar looked great too. Next time!! The staff were all so friendly. You won’t be disappointed stopping here. The prices are extremely reasonable. Portions huge.

chinolkn Good flavor and good amount of ingredients were added

Christa Logsdon Our first visit was excellent. The service was very friendly, fast, & the restaurant was very clean. We tried the walleye, and catfish, minus the lemon pepper seasoning, fries, hush puppies, & chicken tenders. The fish & chicken were both DELICIOUS. The fries were great. Very hot & crispy, and lightly seasoned. The hush puppies didnt wow me, but were still decent. Overall, it was great value for the $31 spent. Well most definitely be back. Update (2nd visit)...O.M.G. The fried pickles are out of this world. So crunchy!! I am a fried pickle lover, and these are the best Ive ever tasted. And the regular size portion was enough for 2 people. SOOOOO GOOD!!

Bradley Hull Small town business with big time taste. Been going here weekly since it opened and have turned so many others on to here as well. Great drinks, delicious food, and wonderful atmosphere... Great place to dine and unwind. The paella is absolutely delicious.

Daniel Hoerchler Came in for dinner and some drinks, the chicken cordon Bleu was absolutely delicious. Miss Steph the bar tendress was awesome and very attentive. If you come to Jacksonville Illinois an dont have a drink and a good thin crust pie, its your own fault. Absolutely amazing.

Davis B Amazing service. In a world where Steak n Shake has become corporatized and a shell of its former self, this one stays true to the core essence of what Steak n Shake built its brand upon. Great job team!
