About The Olympic Tavern

This group covers the non-Asian restaurants, cafes, bars and food businesses that also appear in a mixed-cuisine food scene, including American diners, pizza, Mexican food, burgers, steakhouses and bakeries. Standard US restaurant norms apply: lunch and dinner service with a quieter stretch between, cards and tap-to-pay accepted almost everywhere, and a tip of 15-20% customary for table service. Fast food and quick-service counters expect payment up front and tipping is optional. Bars check ID for anyone who looks under 30, and the drinking age is 21 nationwide. Many restaurants in this group take reservations online through third-party platforms, while casual and fast-food spots are walk-in only. Sales tax is added at the register on top of the menu price and varies by city and state, so the final total is usually a few percent higher than the posted prices suggest.

Rockford is in Illinois, in the Midwest, where summers are warm, winters are cold and snowy, and most errands are done by car; businesses keep steady year-round hours with the usual holiday changes. US addresses list the street number and name, then the city, state abbreviation and ZIP code, and Rockford follows the same pattern; a suite or apartment number such as Ste 200 refers to a unit inside the building. The map link on this page shows the exact spot.

We absolutely loved the Olympic Tavern! We had the wings, a burger with fries and their fabulous chili! Everything was on point ! Kelly was an amazing bartender/server! So kind and welcoming and this is now our favorite spot! We loved the old fashioned’s as they were quite possibly the best we ever had! Can’t wait to come back!

My wife and I ordered the fish and chips. A house beer battered cod with sweet corn fritters, Cole slaw(with fresh cracked pepper), lemon wedge, and tar tar sauce. The fish was moist and flaky with a crispy batter. The atmosphere was nice, the cocktail are made with fresh fruit juice instead of a bottled mix as many bars use. They have a rotating keg list to help maintain fresh drinks. Definitely the best place I've been to in Rockford, this will be added to our regular rotation for dinner.

Waiter was very friendly and let us do individual checks. Unfortunately the Rubens were weird on the corn beef. But the restaurant was very understanding and wanted to make it new or a different dish. But unfortunately the 2 that had it tried to choke it down. I took a slice from one oh my goodness it was so chewy, fatty and tough. Just weird not sure what happened. But there was 8 of us, so 6 other dishes was good. We all had something different. Still a favorite place. Oh and their Fuzzy leprechaun was yummy. My lunch was 35.00 with one drink one app and a very small bowl of chili. Chili was good just the right amount of spicy. Im a very light weight on spicy. But it's full of flavor!!

Went here tonight with my daughter for the first time by recommendations from other people. We both enjoyed it, food was excellent along with the service. Very pretty lit up building. Definitely worth visiting again. I had the bacon wrapped meatloaf and my daughter had fish and chips. So much more on the menu to try out.

It’s our anniversary and we wanted to try a new-to-us restaurant, so we chose The Olympic Tavern. We both ordered rib eye steak with shrimp. It was delicious! 💜 The garlic mashed potatoes did not taste very garlicky, but the potatoes were still very good. As were the seasonal veggies.😊 Dessert was a flourless chocolate torte - fabulous! Everyone we met was very friendly and the service was good. My only regret is that I did not request a nicer table. We spent our anniversary dinner sitting at a cafe table that was lined-up along a bench shared with multiple people. Not my favorite part of the evening.🫤 ➡️Part Two - Summertime Visit: This time we were seated on the patio and it was lovely! They have worked hard to create a beautiful outdoor space, and we enjoyed the evening weather and atmosphere. I tried the Brussel Sprout appetizer (delicious), and my husband had the fish and chips (really good as well). Our waitress was very loud spoken, but super sweet and helpful. If you haven’t been to this Rockford landmark yet, don’t hesitate!
