Still love coming here. They added the boneless "wings" to the All You Can Eat Menu. Waitstaff is friendly (being there alot helps out on that...) and they have Amp which is a good plus for me. Be careful though it gets BUSY on the weekends and its a madhouse turned upside.

I have mixed feelings about Cronie's. The first time we went, we had burgers and they were AWESOME! The second time, I had the Philly which was a lot of bread with very little meat, and the meat I had was extremely tough. The home made fries are really good too. NOW, onto the service. The first time we went, I told the server what I wanted and how I wanted it. She let me finish what I was saying then had a really weird look on her face and was silent for a minute then said" I didn't get any of that, I totally spaced out" LOL! When we did get our food, it was good and that's a really good thing because we didn't see her again until we were finished and she dropped the check. Like I said, the second time, the Philly was really bad, but the service was good. Maybe the third time will be the charm, and the food AND service will be good.OK, the third time we sat out on the patio and had the best service we've had yet. We decided to have burgers since we enjoyed them so much the first time. Big mistake. The burgers were so "garlic-y" we couldn't eat them. I LOVE garlic, but that's how bad they were. I think that did us on Cronies, we're noy going back.

Bar food is nothing to write home about but this ace is worth finding your way into despite the difficult side road that needs to be taken. The bartender working the night I went she was great and the place is a nice remote sports bar with bar food in Manchesney Park. There is a pool the and plenty of tales along with a big bar and remote stand alone bars like this I really dig. There are not even any nearby business neighbors for tis p,ace so whatever occurs in Cronies stays in Cronies. Pretty much what a rural busy road pub should be like. People ritual about this place should realize this is the Rockford area and this is a bar more than fine dining.

SUCKED SUCKED SUCKED!!! Premium price for very crappy food. Waitress sucked. Service sucked. Seemed like a foot and a half of cigarette butts around the entire building. LOVED watching the (assumed) dope deal go down in the parking lot. Wish yelp had -stars.... They would have rated a -4 star!

I have come here a couple times. Horrible service and mediocre food. Waited almost two hours for our food only to be cold and under cooked. Will not come again. I recommend spending your time and money elsewhere.

Worst service ever. Went to the all-you-can-eat wing night. Waited over an hour for 7 wings. It was clear that we were not worth our waitresses time. She blamed it on the cook. Which wasn't the truth. She brought us the wrong beers and also stated there's just too many beers to remember. Asked for water, she didn't come back for 30 minutes. On a side note, the waitress looked like a garage sale kid that just rolled outta bed. Smh. Unprofessional and disappointing. The food??? Wings, ok. Fries, the worst!

There has never been a place where I have felt hesitant about even drinking out of the glasses. I mean, this place is seriously disgusting. The fries weren't edible because they were so soggy, the salad was brown...I mean there are no words to describe my disgust with this place. I've never felt the need to write a review or complain about a restaurant or bar or anywhere before, but do NOT waste your time or money here. Even the service was terrible.

The Boneless Wings are incredible. Tons of flavors. The Flatbread Burgers are also incredible. Service is good.

Wings made me and a friend very sick. They were ok with the sauce on the outside but the chicken meat inside smelled and tasted just a tad rotten. We asked the server who said the date on the batch was not expired. The damage was done. We had both eaten one wing before agreeing we were served rotten food. I'd never never ever consider visiting cronies again.

It had nice decor and a very friendly feel to it as I went in and sat down. IT was rather slow that evening (very few patrons) and the service took way too long for my liking. The food was all right. I liked the tacos and another member of my party liked the ribs. The chicken tenders and the sauce on the fries didn't really go over too well. I'd be willing to go back and give it another try. It was all reasonably priced

Its pretty bad when A bar has to charge you a $1.00 no beverage charge. I ordered the all you can eat wings with a few of my buddies. The bartender was busy dancing with A customer and she got a bad attitude when we asked for more wings. She told me we normally stop having all you can eat wings at this time of night. I asked her why did she take the order and let us order it? The wings werent bad at all but with service like this and A $1.00 no beverage charge theres better places to go visit.

I came here with my boyfriend for drinks after dinner (it's one of his usual hangout spots). Service was great, the bar was clean and the bartender provided great service. We went on a Wednesday night, so it was pretty empty. There's a pool table, TVs, slot machines, the usual bar set up. The selection of drinks they have is awesome. I can't speak for the food since we didn't eat here, although my boyfriend wants to come back and try the all-you-can-eat chicken wings. I would come back again, if nothing else, just for a drink or two before heading elsewhere.

I don't think it even deserves a star. First off we arrived at 6:30 for a family birthday dinner, there were maybe 3 cars in the parking lot. The place was not busy at all. It took the staff about 10 min just to seat us, another 10 min to come bring us menus and then they only had 2 menus for a party of 6. The waitress took our drink order and then it took another 10 to 15 min to get our drinks, by then we were ready to order our food, the waitress had to go get her pad to take our order, we ordered our food and an hour later our food finally arrives and during this time the place is not busy at all. When our food arrives that is a whole other problem, 3 of the people in our party get there food first and it is cold to piss warm, i ordered the boneless wings, which is just chicken breast cut up, and i ordered the jalapeno cheese which the waitress said was spicy, it was not spicy at all and half if the wings were some kind of cheese and the other half was something with garlic, I honestly am not sure what they were. The fries were so cold they were soggy. After the 3 people in our party got there food it took another 15 min for 2 more people in our party to get there burgers, which was also cold, then 10 min later the last person in our party finally got half of the food they ordered and 5 min after that they recieved the rest of their food, luckily the last person food was the hottest. I will not ever come back no need to give them a second chance like i try to do.

I kinda like this place - it has a "just the clean side of a dive bar" feel about it, a pool table, a wrap around bar and booth-like tables. Our primary reason for hitting Cronies was for the chicken wings, which it has to be said were really, really good. They have something like 20 different seasoning/flavours to choose from and you can buy platters in various sizes and combinations leading up to unlimited/eat as much as you can. Whilst our waitress had that look on her face that said "can't you tell how busy and important I am, why are you asking *me* for more beer?" I got the impression that all the other staff were really friendly. The chucklesome owner dropped by our table a couple of times to check everything was fine and tell us a few tales and even gave us a free round of drinks. On the downside the beer selection was essentially every variety of Bud and Miller ever made, which is not my kinda tipple. They do have Guinness on tap which was a saving grace. The music was pretty awful generic pop and... they have karaoke... on more than one night. I would definitely come back for the wings, but without a more interesting beer selection they don't quite make 4 stars or some place I would look to make a regular.

This place should be shut down. The kitchen is a mess and stinks, they dont clean up after there shifts, the popcorn has been in there for days at a time (in machine)

Well, this bar advertises alot and we thought we would give it a try after going to the Rockford Speedway. When we walked in the sign says Wait to be Seated. Well we waited and waited and finally just sat ourselves. Then about 10 minutes later we finally got a server who acted more like it was a bother to take our order! Her name was Shelly. She looked like she rolled out of bed and hated her job. We ordered a burger and a few wings. It was nothing more than just food. I was not Wowed by this place. My finace and I thought we would order a few Corona's we got those from Shelly, but she didnt bring the limes to go with it. But than again after serving our food with a dirty splint on her left hand she probably wouldnt have worn a glove to protect us from germs!!! We will never go back! This place needs a serious case of Bar Rescue!!! The sign outside is the best part along with the patio! We had to walk through all the smokers outside to get in the door. No wonder the place was empty. I wouldnt ever go back and the swearing at the bar was appauling, you had families in there eating! The decore is much to be desired. You could not tell if it was an old resturant or a bar that looked out of date and the young girls that worked there all looked like they rolled right out of the bed, NO CLASS!!!! Good Luck CRONIES,all you got going for you is your cute sign out front!!!

Not even worth one star. The only reason we came here was because of a groupon. Took two hours to bring our food. No burgers?! The chef didn't prepare meat because the boss was gone today. They were out of limes. No taco bar which was their "special". Ordered a French dip and got a cut up steak thrown on some bread. Bugs all over the window sill. Stale cold air blowing on us the whole time. The bill was outrageous after all of their mistakes. Waitress just said "I don't make the prices." Complete waste of my life and money. Will never go there again.
