Grace and Company, the restaurant was renamed as Applebee's Neighborhood Grill & Bar. Later the company and the Applebee's concept changed hands with Abe Gustin and John Hamra who started the first Applebee's franchise restaurant in Kansas City.

A Rockford original and a revolution in fast food. Despite its "Beefy" name Beef-a-Roo has the healthiest menu available from a drive thru. I recommend the Cilantro lime turkey, the Santa Fe chicken salad (a meal in itself) and the buffalo chicken sandwich. Also, the seasoned salt it a total winner. Get a can for home. The kids love the themes - 50's drive-inn, fire house, log cabin, wharehouse and the mint chocolate delivery at the end .

Love everything on the menu! Onion rings are the best I've ever had.
(5)Di L.
For a chain fast food joint local to the Rockford area, this place is pretty decent. I tried the roast beef and it was ok. At least the meat actually tasted like real meat unlike other typical chain burger joints. I think my fav was the cheese fries and onion rings. Just wanted to try this place at least once since I was visiting in the area. Would I go again next time I'm in the area? Probably not.

From the outside, Beef A Roo looks like a Portillos. That being said, my hopes were high. Their menu had a lot of atypical items...from chocolate peanut butter rice krispies to baked potatoes and bruschetta burgers. I rolled with a chicken sandwich...so disappointing. Not a place I would ever go again.
(3)Liv W.
I really love Beefaroo. The roast beef sandwiches are always a great choice and I always have to get a cheese fry! Some other food that I love is the turkey club wrap and the buffalo chicken wrap.
(4)Dan K.
It's pretty decent for fast food. It is kinda like Portillo's but more fast food oriented. I just heard that it was a Rockford only chain (well at least not in Chicago) so we went in for a late meal. I actually got a chicken sandwich, but my girl got a beef something. The fries were pretty decent. As most smaller gigs, it's a step up from the huge corporate chains. Also, the name is fun to say.

This may not be saying much but "BEST MEAL IN ROCKFORD YET!" We've been here for a total of 4 weeks (with weekends in Chicago, yay!) and this was the best down to earth food we've eaten here that's not a chain you can find in Chicago (Chipotle, BWW, Red Robin, etc don't count!) Not only was the food fresh and tasty, it was cheap and served with EXCELLENT service. They brought me horseradish even though I could've gotten it myself, and towards the end of our meal, they offered us a mint or Andes chocolate mint with a wetnap. That's never happened at a fast-food type restaurant before! Got the beef and cheddar, which melted in my mouth - a high quality version of the beef sandwich at Arbys. My friend devoured the chili, which he said was like homemade, and also at the southwest crunchy chicken wrap, which was loaded with beans, corn, etc - it was literally heavy. That put a smile on his face. Loved the interior decor - warm, lots of space, welcoming. WE LOVED IT!

This place is the best fast food you'll find. They have such a wide range of choices (from healthy to not so healthy.) I have always been a fan of the California club (sliced turkey, mayo, cucumbers, tomato, sprouts, wheat bun.) Their cheese fries are excellent--they never skimp on the cheese. Great BBQ beef sandwiches, too. Best of all, they have the largest selection of shake flavors you'll ever see...at least at a fast-food place. Coconut, banana, mint chocolate, you name it. And they top them nicely with whipped cream and a cherry. I like the oldies theme, too. Posters are up of old movies, 1950's decor, even artifacts from those days. To me, it feels like I stepped into an old-fashioned diner. A unique take on fast food, for sure!!!
(5)Melinda P.
I LOVED this place when I lived here! Their food is always fresh. They have cool stuff on the walls. Never had a bad experience here.
(4)Andrew R.
This chain is a Rockford staple and a gem of a restaurant. It's classier than Mc®Wendy® King® but faster than a Chili's.
(4)Trent M.
When it comes to getting a decent burger in Rockford you really only have one option and this place is it. The burgers are huge, cooked to order, and tasty. The fries are great, they put some special seasoning on them (I am thinking onion salt but I could be wrong) and I can't get enough of them. Great shakes and malts are also really good. The best part... Well, the best part is hard... it is either the little old lady who passes out mints and chocolates to each person or the theme (this location happens to be the industrial Beef-A-Roo, I think the north woods one on Forest Hills is the best). A mainstay of the Rockford area, check it out if you're in town.

Beefaroo is something out of National Lampoon's Vacation. In fact, I think the Griswold's stopped at Beefaroo right between their visit to their inbred cousin's trailer in Nevada and holding up the security guard at Wally World. We all know that there is an unsaid appropriate distance you keep from the counter when you are deciding what to order at a fast food joint. Once you decide, you move in for the kill and place said order. And, if the person behind the counter asks, "Can I help you?" before you are ready to place that order, you feel a little jilted, rushed and a little ticked off. Right? When I asked the local-yocals about where I could find a decent quick lunch, they argued over whether I should check out Culver's or Beefaroo. They decided upon Beefaroo and my schedule agreed so ready or not, my virgin Beefaroo stomach was ready. I hadn't even entered the Almighty Beefaroo and an overly-pleasant woman behind the counter who freakishly resembled one of the Stepford Wives smiled and asked, "Can I help you?" The following was my experience after those 4 little words were uttered: I felt irritated. And rushed. Didn't she know about the unsaid rule? There was sensory overload. Do I want the blue cheese burger? Or the hot dog? Why do all the women working here look like they belong to some sect of the Moonies? Mmm, onion rings. Shit, I have to pick up milk after work. You get the point. The food was good. The lettuce and tomato were fresh and hey, they had crumbly blue cheese for the burger. But, it was fast food. I think Beefaroo thinks of itself as Rockford's answer to In-N-Out Burger in SoCal. Not so. But, it is several notches above Micky Dee's. Quirk Factor: This is the only fast food joint that serves up free chocolate mints after your meal from an overly smiley girl wearing orthopedic shoes...cult, perhaps? You decide.
(3)Samir B.
Wow this place is great! Good hours, easy access, great quality food and reasonable prices. I'm from Chicago so seeing a placed named Beefaroo was new to me, and I had to go. Their chicken sandwich(s) are great, and the chili's fantastic. That's all I can offer for now, but once I've tried more, I'll add to the review.
(5)Nic S.
Beef a roo is a legendary Rockford fast food tradition. The food is always hot and fresh. If you wait for more than a couple minutes, they give you an "oops" coupon that you'll never use since the combos include a drink anyway. The cheese fries are a favorite among all of my friends, though i never dug cheese fries myself. The special season salt that makes the fries is available for sale. I haven't had better chicken fingers anywhere in the world, and the shakes are also world class. The We're cooking it just for you song gets stuck in my head though i haven't heard it in almost a year. This is the place locals miss the most when leaving Rockford
