Description

The Olympic Tavern was founded in 1945 by Anthony Rotello.  Originally serving local businessmen and factory workers a burger and a beer, The Olympic Tavern quickly grew into a full service restaurant and bar.

Through several renovations, Anthony and his son Thomas grew the business from a 12-stool bar into the 250+ seat restaurant that exists today.

The Olympic Tavern's formula for success is simple; listen to the customer and deliver more than they expect.  There's everything from burgers to lobster tails on the menu, a great wine list and Rockford's best craft beer menu.

Thanks for visiting - we hope to see you soon.

Your friends @ The Olympic Tavern

Service Rockford Always good food, good service. Love the atmosphere, too. The cheezy chicken is my favorite, and my husband always has a delicious burger.

Service Rockford Just ate lunch here with my son and a friend. The waitress was fantastic and very personal. I ordered the No Bread Fred, which was delicious and healthy!

Tip for eating out healthy in Rockford, Illinois:
Say yes to salad. Salad is a healthy eater's best friend. Not only will it fill you up so you'll consume fewer calories overall, but it will also give you a hefty dose of antioxidants which are heart healthy. Be sure to ask your waitress to hold the croutons and cheese which will further reduce your caloric load. Also, choose your dressing wisely. Avoid cream based dressings and go for the vinegar based ones. You also have the option of using vinegar and olive oil which is heart healthy.

Tip for eating out healthy in Rockford, Illinois:
Learn to control your portions. Many rockford restaurants are serving larger quantities of food than in the past. If this is the case, put aside a portion of your entree at the beginning of the meal to take home with you. If you remove it from your plate before you start eating, you'll be less tempted to overindulge.

Even though these places are vastly out numbered by the rockford fast food industry, we still enjoy sitting down in the nice comfortable and pleasant surroundings of a rockford restaurant and dining on good quality food at a leisurely pace, leaving behind the hustle and bustle of daily life and the rockford fast food rush.

From the sandwich shop to the award winning rockford restaurants, we can always find a place that prepares and sells the food we want at a reasonable price, although cooking or preparing food for ourselves may be a cheaper or healthier option it never seems to taste the same as our local rockford restaurant. Most people that have cooked their own versions and varieties of local, Chinese, Indian or other international cuisine believes it does not have the same taste or texture and will often opt for a more authentic meal from their local rockford restaurant or take away.

Whether your tastes are simple, sophisticated or somewhere in between, Rockford restaurants will satisfy your appetite. Whether you are looking for a placement to take the family, a romantic dinner or a quick pickup after work Rockford restaurants will fulfill your needs. You'll leave with a smile and a full tummy!
