★★★☆☆ 3.0 Jennifer Baker · Jan 2026

My husband, two of our sons, my mother, and I thought we’d try Thunder Bay Grille in Rockford. We chose Thunder Bay Grille based on the reviews. Our overall experience was average. The parking lot had a lot of space we didn’t have to walk very far to get in. The restaurant itself had a lodge but modern atmosphere. It was nicely decorated for the holidays. We were greeted and seated as soon as we arrived. I make reservations online. The restaurant wasn’t very busy at 5:00pm. I guess we were eating a little earlier than we normally do because it started getting busier when we left. The menus were dated, definitely worn. Their prices were a little higher than some places costing us between $20 - $40 per entree. It took about ten minutes after we were seated for the waiter to come

Their menu has multiple dishes with sea food, so if you are a fan then definitely this is the place. We tried multiple dishes and it was definitely good BUT their bread ... OMG .. it is fresh and AMAZING... Yum. Service was a bit slow, for the place that was packed. I probably noticed only 3 servers so probably overwhelmed. But all in all good experience. Cheers

It was so nice. Good friends. Good drinks. Good food. Our server just home from college and working on her break! Great service and so friendly. Thank you. ( love their Sunday brunches too)

★★★★★ 5.0 Pam A · Jan 2026

Relaxing, nice atmosphere. Menu offers variety and quality meals in addition to less expensive options. Separate Gluten friendly menu available. Great restaurant to walk to if staying at Holiday Inn. Parking lots connect.
