Reviews for Octane RKFD in Rockford, IL
Here, let me hand you this dirty rumpled paper menu and then I am going to serve you the drink you didn?t order 20 minutes after... you sat down with my finger in it from across the table so you have to reach for it. Oh, and I am probably sweating on yourdrinks because it is absurdly hot in here. Here is also a hard water stained glass for your beer. Yes, I know you had to ask forit after I brought you a lukewarm can. Truly one of the worst dining experiences I have ever had. Spicy pork bowl was greasy,rice mushy, disgusting food. The service horrible. Extremely unprofessional and disappointing. Appetizer never came. Drinks came after dinner. What a disaster. $53 for food we didn?t eat and the world?s dumbest & laziest server. Lame response received:Seriously? that is your excuse?! Then you should post a sign: ?Though our prices remain high, the food and service will probablybe terrible because we are short staffed. You may want to consider another establishment? maybe even McDonalds.? Tell you what,give me my money and my time back. We made a 90 mile round trip on on a Saturday evening on a friend?s recommendation to haveyou mess it up. If you cannot deliver the experience on which you base your reputation and for which you are charging, then youneed to close the door until you get it sorted out. Otherwise, you are robbing your customers of their time and stealing theirmoney. Read more

Octane RKFD is at a great location near the river in the Main Street District of downtown Rockford. Free street parking and a... parking lot across the street. Located in a chic-industrial building with a large and stylish bar inside. The menu is Asianinspired including some unique fusion style boa buns, lumpia rolls, mazemen (broth-less Ramen) and traditional Ramen onThursdays. Their cocktails are also delicious and we want to go back to try the rest! Wine list and beer list as well. Lookingforward to coming back. Read more
Food is great, and so is the service. Sometimes I wish the menu didn?t change, I have a habit of falling in love with an item... and the next time I come back it?s no longer on the menu. Read more
Visiting from out of town & decided to eat at Octane after seeing their great reviews and food options. The place lives up to... the hype! The vegetarian & vegan options are plentiful, truly a menu for everyone! I had the spicy Buffalo cauliflower bao bunsand they were *chefs kiss* perfection! The service was also amazing, the waiter & bartender were very kind & attentive. Highlyrecommend! Read more
Ended up in Rockford quite by accident and discovered this wonderful restaurant. Check out the seasonal offerings, currently... morel mushrooms and ramp. The server was friendly, incredibly knowledgeable about food sourcing and gracious, including craftingcustom cocktails for us. No doubt we were the happiest accidental tourists to visit Rockford this holiday weekend. Read more
