THE MACHINE SHED RESTAURANT, Rockford

What you come to expect from the shed, down home family style, farm fresh meals. I always enjoy the food, atmosphere, and friendly staff that the Machine Shed is known for.

Great food.

Great food. We have been there several times. Had breakfast this time. Plenty of good food. Servers wore masks. We were seated away from other diners.

Disappointing

Food was just ok but service was not. Waitress only had 4 tables. Seemed bothered and very unhappy to be there. Food came and we asked for ketchup. Nearly finished when she finally brought it. Never refilled beverages. Manager walking around spraying tables and chairs....Never said hello. This seems to be the norm at the last three Machine Shed restaurants where we dined. This restaurant chain is really going downhill. We will go to a Golden Corral before we will ever eat at a Machine Shed restaurant again. Seems like they should be glad to have some business....but they sure didn't act like it!More

This is definitely disappointing to read. It is no excuse, but our team is trying very hard to create a safe environment for diners, and it sounds like that interfered with your dining experience. We will work to make this right!

This was our first visit.

This was our first visit. We were impressed by our server, the extensive menu and the quality of the food. The portions were generous enough to share. We are looking forward to our next visit.

ALWAYS PLEASED!

This is the place to eat if you want a great choice of comfort foods! Smaller portions would be great, but you'll often have the opportunity to take home leftovers! The food truly tastes "home-made"! We'll be back, if in the area again.

Friday night Fish Fry

Excellent fried catfish and spiced bread. It is consistently good. I have had it several times over years. Our server, Dash, was very attentive without being intrusive.

Excellent

The Machine Shed is hands down the best spot for breakfast in the Rockford area, if not Illinois. Absolutely fantastic!

It Was Okay

When we arrived on a Sunday morning, we were seated right away. I ordered pecan pancakes that had just a sprinkling of pecans on top. Not worth the price for that little bit. The pancakes themselves were dry. The country fried steak was good. Our...waitress was attentive and refilled the coffee in a timely manner.More

Very Good

Very good home cooked food, friendly staff and enjoyable surroundings. Large menu with many options to choose from, breakfast, lunch & dinner. Large portions of food, you won't go away hungry. Nice little store to pick up a gift for yourself or someone else.
