Where to eat in Rockford?
When I taught at Beloit College a few years ago the faculty used to like the following Rockford restaurants (I can't gaurantee that they are still there, but I assume they are): 1) The Vietnamese restaurant next door to the elephant/octopus car wash just south of downtown. I wish I could remember the name of this place--I am sure if you ask, people will know it as it is the only Vietnamese restaurant in town. It is in a tiny old corner mall on the main n/s road to DeKalb on the E side of the river--not a great section of town, but the food is great and cheap. De Kalvb faculty would drive to Rockford for that restaurant, as well. 2) Mary's Market/REstaurant--good medit. sandwiches, baked goods, pastas. Inexpensive. Have fun ... K.

I second the Machine Shed --- love the ribs and "down home" atmosphere. My daughter and fiance love it--- we took them there several times when they were students at nearby beloit College. Mary's is also terrific... great wood oven pizzas. Also one of their favorites. In article , "Terry L. Shockey" wrote: > I like the "Machine Shed."
