Corner bar is a must try! Their iconic hot dogs are excellent - steamed bun, great chilli, cheese & fixings! Their take home box makes for a fun family feast! Burgers & salads are recommended too!

We loved this place before the Fire . The little window were you could order coney dogs right on the street . And the old school bar. The Bar has been rebuilt it no longer has that old school charm but it is very well done .( miss that old wood bar but it's nice) service was fantastic we aways love sitting at the bar . Food was the same still make the best coney dogs and at a great price.

We recently rented the upstairs loft for a rehearsal dinner. Corner Bar far exceeded our expectations. They took the time to sit with us and provide samples of food prior so we could set the menu. They set the rooms up to our specifications. And, their staff was so pleasant and accommodating not just during the event but in set up and take down as well. John was exceptional and we were so pleased at our choice to utilize The Corner Bar for our dinner. We highly recommend! Thank you, John and staff. You outdid yourselves and we could not be happier!

Keith was hilarious and made everyone laugh. Food was nice and warm, done correctly and was really good. Fully recommend for locals!

The atmosphere here really steps into it's hot dog challenge. The walls are stacked with plaques to people getting the minimum 12 or greater. The building is an older building, but it has nice big windows giving it a bright and airy feeling. I order the Bacon Cheddar Dog Basket ($12). This is two Corner Bar Dogs smothered with chili sauce and piled high with freshly shredded cheddar cheese and a hickory smoked bacon strip. These were good, but I didn't see what the big deal was. I think maybe if they wrapped the dog in bacon it would have helped, also I didn't taste the chili in it. The fries were good, however they were nothing special. Just properly fried standard crinkle fries. I also got a Bavarian Dog ($6). This is a ¼ lb grilled bratwurst topped with stone ground mustard and kraut on a steamed pretzel bun. I enjoyed this dog more. This dog with the others topping would have been a hit for me. They also have a large selection of Root Beers. The 2 I tried were CICERO Salted Caramel Root Beer and DANG! Butterscotch Root Beer. Both were unique and delicious. The service was friendly and okay. However they got busy after I ordered and I felt forgotten. I needed another drink and I couldn't order it till they brought my bill. Overall a 3 1/2 star review, that I'll round up to 4 stars. Would I return? Yes, with a caveat. I would need to already be in the area.

I've been coming here since I was a kid, so more than 20 years. Every time I come back for a visit, I try and stop into the Corner Bar. It's changed quite a bit since I was a kid, especially with the rebuild after the fire but one thing has always remained rhetorical same, the best deep fried pickles you'll ever eat! The service is always quick and friendly, and the place has a home town feel with all their hot dog eating plaques on the wall. They also have plenty of space for large parties. I will always recommend people give this place a try!

My husband said this was a hometown staple and I HAD to have the hotdogs and boy was he right. Not much of a hot dog person but these were the exception. They actually have a wall of fame for your name and hometown if you are able to eat 12 hot dogs buns and all. I was stuffed after two. We learned that the original bar burned down so the building was remodeled and they did an amazing job. Street parking, can order for an outside window in the event you wanted to take your meal to go and enjoy the local park. If you want to eat in the restaurant was accessible without steps and it is two floors but had an elevator so that was fun. Went to the second floor found love music, bar and open air seating. Very nice for a the summer nights. Reasonable pricing on drinks and food. Took a rex mex salad to go for lunch the next day. Wide variety of food and drinks choices. Glad we stopped.

What do you say about a historic, beloved part of downtown Rockford? This place is just the best. The food is what you'd expect from a small town bar/pub, but the atmosphere and the nostalgia are top notch. While it could have struggled after the reconstruction after the fire, this place has come back alive and well, and it is poised to stand for generations to come as the best family restaurant in Rockford and the area. Always grateful for an evening at the Corner Bar. If you haven't checked it out yet, now's your time. P.S. Some day I will defeat the 12 dog challenge and get my name on the wall. Some day.
