3. Famous Dave’s Bar-B-Que, 3303 North Perryville Rd: One of the most famous barbeque places in the country, Famous Dave’s has the goods to back up its notoriety. First opened in 1994, it quickly gained great popularity. Pitmaster Dave Anderson has won some of the most coveted BBQ awards in the country, with over 700 awards to the restaurant’s name. Because of this, it is no wonder that Famous Dave’s is often called “America’s Best BBQ.” BoatDad said in his review that “we thought the food was good and the staff were friendly and helpful. One of the few places in Rockford where you can get brisket.”

4. Smokey Bones, 6690 E. State St: Smoky Bones specializes in the three things a restaurant should: good food, good drinks and good times. They slow roast their pork for 11 hours over hickory logs every night, leading to delicious and tender meat. While they do specialize in BBQ, they also offer other delicious food such as steaks, burgers and wings. Why not top off your meal with a hot bag o’ donuts? J6692YVsarahs said in their review that “a couple friends and I went to Smokey bones and just had an absolutely amazing lunch…I’m definitely coming back again.”
