Screw City Tavern

If YOU have a sensitive tongue or just a "PANSY TONGUE"....READ THE INGREDIENTS first, BEFORE ordering!! Don't assume.... Ordered To-Go 3 Loaded Brisket Mac, 1 Large Sweet Potatoe Fries, & 1 Screw City Nachos w/ jalopenos on the side. (I ended up throwing Nachos away...my fault...read below ...) The Good... Tasty Good Temperature Order Correct MY EXPERIENCE: The Loaded Brisket Mac was good. The Sweet Potatoe Waffle Fries hit the SPOT! **I was told, The chef thought he over cooked them, it was the last batch, so no charged. Wow!! First restaurant to do that! HONESTLY, they were probably the best CRISPY Sweet Potatoe Fries I've ever had...CRISPY, but NOT HARD! NOW to the heat..... The Screw City Nachos w/ jalopenos on the side....WERE Very spicy!! The taste...spice lingered after...My tongue was in recover from experiencing "burnt tongue"...which did not help. It was so good though!!! I'd try to eat around the spice...at first, couldn't figure out...was it the BBQ sauce or the cheese...wait there's cut up jalopenos... Went back & read the description...Pico de Gallo & Hog Wild Hot BBQ Sauce... I did not see the sour cream. It was so tasty, but my tongue was feelin the heat!! Anyways, I assumed the only spice would be the jalopenos and asked for them on the side. **NO FILTERS Added on pics** It sucks going to the restaurant & finding out well, it looks nothing like the picture!

Really like their rewards program. Great food. Very open to changing menu items to your liking. Owner is in house most of the time ...Eat Local / Support Local

Screw City Tavern is your classic pub with a menu to match, but don't let that fool you – they do it right! I recently stopped in and had the Screw City Burger, and it was seriously tasty. The bacon cheeseburger was cooked perfectly, and the garlic aioli really took it to the next level. The atmosphere was great, and I ended up sitting at the bar. Heather, the bartender, was super friendly and made sure I was well taken care of. She definitely added to the overall positive experience.

Grabbed late lunch/early dinner while in town, place was pretty empty for a Saturday at 3, at least considering how good the food was. I was surprised at how thoroughly well cooked the burger itself was throughout, for how thick it was. Did not get any mixed drinks, so can't speak for the bartender skill, but the selection looked okay. Pretty solid place to stop.

Excellent food, excellent service and close to home. Really can't ask for anything more!

On a recent visit, I had the pleasure of indulging in their Grilled Shrimp Grain Bowl, and it was a delightful culinary experience. The bowl arrived, brimming with vibrant colors and enticing aromas. Plump grilled shrimp rested atop a bed of hearty grains, accompanied by a medley of fresh vegetables. Each bite was a delightful combination of flavors and textures, with the tender shrimp perfectly complementing the nuttiness of the grains and the crunch of the vegetables. What truly stood out was the freshness of the ingredients. It was evident that Screw City Tavern takes pride in sourcing high-quality, local produce, as every component of the dish was bursting with flavor. The shrimp were perfectly grilled, retaining their natural sweetness and juiciness, while the vegetables added a refreshing crispness to each bite. The portion size was generous, making it a satisfying and wholesome meal. Whether you're looking for a light lunch or a flavorful dinner option, the Grilled Shrimp Grain Bowl at Screw City Tavern is sure to hit the spot. Overall, my experience at Screw City Tavern was nothing short of fantastic. From the warm and inviting atmosphere to the delicious food, it's clear why this establishment is a beloved fixture in the Rockford community. If you find yourself in the area, do yourself a favor and stop by Screw City Tavern for a taste of Rockford's finest cuisine.

Went after a day at the golf course on a Sunday. Bartender was friendly and took good care of us. We ordered the pickle fries for the app and it was delicious. I order the tavern chicken sandwich which was super tasty and the sweet potato waffle fries were exceptional. Thank you, we will be back!

We just recently had our wedding party there. I cannot thank the manager, Steve and the bar manager, Angela enough they were so amazing making the night a big success Steve prepared all the food, and it was all so delicious. Our friends and family could not stop commenting about how delicious everything was. I would have any of our future parties or celebrations here. The cost is more than fair for all the things we got thank you again so much we will see you soon. Mark and Gerri Cook.
