From dining and shopping to attractions and tours, there's something for everyone in this bustling city. To start things off, here are a few of our real estate agents' favorite restaurants and bars from Rockford's River District.
River District Dining
- Crust and Crumbles -Â 116 N. Madison St., Suite 118, Rockford, IL 61107
Who doesn't love a slice of fresh bread or a hot cinnamon roll straight from the oven? At Crust and Crumbles, you can get all that and more. The shop sells artisan breads, cookies, scones, pastries, and even the elusive cruffin, all made fresh daily using quality ingredients and expert techniques. - Social Charcuterie Bar and Cocktails - 509 E. State St., Rockford, IL 61104
Love finger food? Head to Social Charcuterie Bar and Cocktails, Rockford's go-to location for appetizers and drinks. All their mouthwatering charcuterie boards and wide selection of pintxos (Mexican-inspired bite-sized goodies) are made from local ingredients sourced directly from Rockford farmers. - Omakase - 223 E. State St., Rockford, IL 61104
Omakase is the River District's premier sushi bar, serving casual Japanese fare like ramen noodles, teriyaki, and gyoza. They also offer a smattering of foods from other cultures, such as poke bowls and kimchi salad. With over a dozen different types of sushi alone, you'll never run out of new dishes to try here. - The Tower Kitchen and Bar - 416 S. Main St., Rockford, IL 61101
Located high up in the Embassy Suites Rockford Riverfront Hotel, The Tower serves good old-fashioned American comfort food with an incredible view. Feast on fare like burgers, pizza, and steak with a side of craft beer while watching the Rock River flow steadily by.
