The Olympic Tavern - (Near Rockford, IL)

Chris Henderson Took family thru Shelbyville for lunch on a return trip from St. Louis to Savoy. Ive been to a dozen or more Monicals all over central illnois in the last 40 years or so. I know it may be (I assume) the same recipe from store to store but their Pizza was fantastic. Perfect crust, perfect sauce. Cheese, pepperoni and sausage were all higher quality. I like the average Monicals quite alot (been eating it for years), but the Shelbyville shop has my number now. Ultra helpful and friendly staff took great care of us. also a nice cozy and clean dining room. Thanks you all from the Hendersons..

Steve Magee I stopped in for lunch this afternoon passing through town, I ordered the burger and the special Vanilla Coke! Everything was good, but the exceptional service from the 2 ladies working is what I remember! Highly recommend, keep up the good work!

Eternalfriday Jacksonville is blessed to have the best Applebees in the world. Awesome staff, good deals and great food. Monday night $8 burgers!

d figueroa Food was good, we had a group of 3. We enjoyed the atmosphere, the cashier was nice, very helpful with the ordering process and suggestions, they were good about clearing off our table of trays once done with food. Very clean. Love the new location much better, plenty of space, much bigger, cafeteria style. Brisket and ribs were good, than dipped in the different sauces it was bomb. I love corn bread and that cornbread muffin was awesome. Mac & cheese is usually off the chain but this time around it was okay probably cause we came in close to closing time, the mash potatoes were great, wasnt crazy about the coleslaw but again it was probably because it was close to closing. Well worth the price, you get a healthy amount of food, you wont leave hungry and will actually leave with left overs.. lol We will most definitely return.

Karla Farmer One of best italian beef sandwiches weve had. Bread was really fresh and banana pepper added the right zing to brighten up the bite. Casual sports bar mashed up with good Italian food vibes. Wed stop in again when we are in that area. Yummy

Jesse Soto First things first..Regina is the majority of the reason I liked this place! She was welcoming , warm, and made great suggestions. The crispy wings: HOLY MOLY! Those are top tier and UNDENIABLY good wings. The perfect crisp, the sauce (honey glaze i think) is out of this world. And the dipping sauce just adds onto the flavor. WOW! I would come back for those alone. I had the short rib pasta and my partner had the bayou pasta. We both agreed that the bayou pasta was better than the short rib. But both were good. Great flavor to the shrimp on the bayou and same for short rib. Also, no shortage of meat for the short rib which is always a plus! Idk what people in the reviews are complaining about. The drinks were great! I got the endless something or other lol it was an old fashioned. Lasty, the dessert was ok. Nothing special, but great way to end the night. It was DEAD when we first came in (Around 8pm, possibly after dinner rush) so completely understandable. Bar area started filling up as night went on. The vibe wasnt my cup of tea, but thats ok. I came for food not for friends lol . A bit pricey tbh but what isnt nowadays? 3 drinks , 2 pastas , dessert came out to $140+tip. What can ya do! Overall good food ,good drinks, and good service.
