- OTOpenTable DinerChicago / Illinois •1 review5.0Dined on Mar 9, 2025Our server Aubrey was amazing she is super friendly and super attentive. Everyone there was super friendly from the time we walked in, to the time we left. We went for our daughters 23rd birthday we had 8 kids under 14 yrs old most under 10 they where a little loud and the kids haven't seen each other in a while so they where excited but they accommodated for it. We did make a reservation for 16 people we had 15 people total, and we had extra seating for about 5 extra spots, so everyone wasn't crowded when we got there, i really APPRECIATED that. Our daughter had the best birthday dinner. Thank you, Famous Dave's in Rockford. Thank you again Aubrey.More infoFamous Dave's - RockfordPrice: Moderate• American• Rockford•5
