2nd visit, came with a friend. Still good food and great service. I definitely will continue to visit whenever I get the opportunity!
1st visit. This is now one of my favorite places in Rockford. Staff were super friendly and very knowledgeable about the menu. The menu is simple and executed well. The sauce is made in house and is very, very good! Not overly sweet, and has a great consistency. Got a sampler appetizer of egg roll, Mac n cheese bites, and fried ravioli. All 3 were good. The egg roll has giardiniera so be aware. The bites had a little spice to them, a welcomed surprise. The ravioli were just perfect, crisp and gooey. They have a full service bar and a small low price arcade and allow children until 9pm. They also have a small video gambling area, and a pool table.

I got the wings and poppers. It’s was ok but no flavor. The service was horrible the girl workingMay 28@2:51 didn’t ask how was the food she had her friend over so her attention was with her friend. Made me feel uncomfortable loved the set up but damn service was horrible. I will come back when someone else is working.

Really cool place , it was my 1st time definitely going back . Got that neighborhood bar feeling but a lot bigger and cooler . Cool arcade , plenty of TVs , good music , great food I was surprised, the infused drinks were tasty, plus all the cool lil perks like bakery goods and gummies . We happened to go on industry night n didn’t even know. Got an extra discount on top of good prices. We will be back

I’ve been to this spot over the span of a few different set ups and owners. Love this one the best. Great service, love the arcade, the back room could use a glow up but I love the ambiance and the friendly atmosphere. Came for a birthday party. Food was great. Emma, Maggie, and Dani were super friendly and on top of the service.

Awesome experience. Everything the name suggests is this bar: Half Baked. They have a game room and pool room. It’s bigger than it looks on the outside. Great experience. Felt safe with security and police outside. Turn up here till closing.

We visited Half Baked on Father’s Day for their R&B brunch and had an incredible experience. The atmosphere was vibrant, the music was on point, the food was delicious, and the service was outstanding. We felt that the environment was family friendly! Nia and Karena went above and beyond to make our day feel special, accommodating all of our requests with professionalism and warmth. I highly recommend visiting any of the bars managed by Nia—and be sure to ask for Karena! Definitely will be back!

We went during a bingo event, party of 6. It was super busy which kind of made the food and drinks take awhile but it was pretty good food for the price. Although the place was packed, nothing was too crazy the servers were running all over the place making sure everyone got what they needed. Won lots of prizes, had lots of fun. Lots of parking. They also reserved a table for the event as well even though we ran 5 mins late.

The staff is so nice and on point. I grab a CBD drink right before I go rollerskating. So if you DON’T DRINK ALCOHOL like me, 6 YEARS SOBER JULY 11TH know that you can still grab a CBD DRINK and enjoy the evening like everyone else ☀️ CHEERS

If you’re looking for a great place to grab some wings and unwind, I highly recommend checking out Half Baked! The wings here are simply outstanding – perfectly crispy and packed with flavor. They offer a variety of sauces, so there’s something for everyone, whether you prefer spicy, sweet, or something in between.
What really sets this place apart, though, is the service. Emma, the bartender, is truly the best! She’s friendly, attentive, and always has great recommendations. Whether you’re trying to decide on drinks or which wings to order, she’s got your back. Her positive energy makes the whole experience even better.
Overall, Half Baked is a fantastic spot for casual dining and enjoying a night out with friends. You won’t be disappointed!
