Breakfast
This is one of Rockford’s true gems and a must do if you like a great breakfast!
The Swedish pancakes with a side of strawberries and bacon is my favorite. You can also ask for the Swedish pancakes golden which adds a little more flavor.
Rick Neilson is one of the owners and you can strum his guitar for luck on the way out!
