I took my daughter out for a special meal and although she enjoyed hers, my bouillebaise was WAY too salty and I could not eat more that one or two spoonfuls. she tasted and agreed. when I informed server, he said sorry but did not offer substitute. I had to pay for an inedible meal. more

Just had dinner with two colleagues at Thunder Bay Grille in Rockford, IL. The interior is lodge-like and there are many different types of rooms/atmospheres to enjoy from private booths to fieside dining.

Don't expect Thunder Bay Grille to be a nice dinner out night. It is average, mediocre. I would choose Olive Garden over this place. Nice service though. I guess I am a snob. I ate outside with a group of friends and I thought it was kinda dirty, and a little hillbilly. more
