At first, the restaurant was named T.J. Applebee's RX for Edibles and Elixirs. After the concept was acquired by W.R. Grace and Company, the restaurant was renamed as Applebee's Neighborhood Grill & Bar. Later the company and the Applebee's concept changed hands with Abe Gustin and John Hamra who started the first Applebee's franchise restaurant in Kansas City.

I love beef a roo but this location is never very busy for a reason. The employees can be very rude at times to avoid dealing with them I stated going through the drive thru and about twenty five percent of the time they give me the incorrect food. Beef a roo is amazing this location is bad.

I recently tried the other beef-a-roo on alpine and I would say this location has better fries. Theirs has the right amount of seasoned salt and the fries have some definition to them. Almost like the outer edges (not tips) are hard and the inner is soft. It's almost as if they use different cooking oil! Alpine's beef-a-roo may have better decor, but their fries taste soft, soggy and no where near the same amount of seasoned salt. I would definitely recommend this location over Alpine.

Love Beef a Roo!! I was not raised in the Rockford area so it is a new love but a love at that. The first time I ate here I had a burger and honestly did not like it. However, I returned and tried chicken and it was fantastic. I did always feel the fries were superb and recently I began ordering them with a cup of cheese on the side and it's a perfect match. I like being able to control what's on my food hence the cheese on the side instead of just cheese fries

A staple to the Rockford area! If you have to go the fast food route, you'll want to go to Beef a Roo. Really great food, and lots of options. Even some healthy ones! My only complaint is that the lettuce quality has begun to deteriorate. Salads used to be 5 star. Now you have to pick out the gross lettuce. If that would improve this would be a 5 star joint!

This restaurant is different and cool for a fast food franchise. The food is head and shoulders above McD and BK. The unique building and decor, old-time train station theme, is appealing to all ages. The carry out and dine in menu is extensive featuring a wide selection of sandwiches, generous portions and (dine in only) free drink refills. Food is tasty, salads appear to be made fresh daily and the cheddar fries are terrific. Only 1 time out of over 25 visits was there a problem with the food: the Chicken Strips were way overcooked and tasted like the fried onion rings. Rare food complaints are handled well by managers. Very family oriented, bright and clean, including the restrooms. Service is good and the staff is well trained and seems to want to put the customers first. My grandchildren would rather eat here than McD or BK! Overall, best fast food restaurant in the area - by a wide margin.

CHOO-CHOO! All aboard this "train depot" version of my favorite Rockford fast food chain. You'll get the usual beefy treats (classic beef for me, beef and cheddar for my road trip buddy) along with the cheddar fries that are "I will get back on the wagon with my diet tomorrow" good. This particular B-A-R is decked out in train station finest with great local photographs of train depot, a cathedral-style wooden frame, and pews at the front, much like you'd perch upon to await a train. So...Choo-Choo for this Beef-A-Roo!
(5)Kathy L.
Definitely one of our favorites when we go up north. I wish they would franchise further south. The food is always made fresh and the service is friendly & fast so you can take your time eating. More sandwich places could learn from Beefaroo!
