“Artale is a great spot for great wine, craft beer, and plenty of spirits. Aaron is my go-to for wine. He has never steered me wrong when picking a nice bottle to surprise the wife with. They also have fun craft cheeses to pair with your wine. Highly recommend this local gem! Thanks, Aaron and Artale team, for always providing a quality selection!”
“Apex roofed our house and garage this summer. ****** was our contractor. He went over everything with us from start to finish. Any questions we had was taken care of right away. Any requests we had he made sure that they were able to take of. He was here to over see the job being done. It looks awesome! Thank you **** for the wonderful job! Highly recommend ****** and Apex! ”

2195 N State St, Belvidere“Such a nice boutique style gaming lounge with brand new Vegas style games. Clean and comfortable; games are spread out so it feels private. Can’t wait to go back!”
“Nice clean store with a good selection of snacks and drinks. They didn’t have much in the way of allocated bottles. But the selection was more than adequate for the average drinker.Staff was very helpful.”
“Where to start with. I came in the other day and forgot my id they were so nice and respectful. The staff are fast service and they have variety of wines and champagnes. I love how they do there best to satisfy the customers. Which is why we leave amazing reviews. Keep it up”
“Great little convenient store! They have really good fresh sandwiches, hot dogs and sides. They even have Midwest Sushi! (Pickles wrapped in cream cheese and ham.) Staff is super friendly as are the customers. Highly recommended!”
“I just visited for the first time. Selection and prices were great. The man working there named AK was friendly and knowledgeable. A very nice shop with fantastic customer service. I look forward to coming here often”
“The first time I was in a Woodman's I was mind-blown at how massive they are ! To those outside of the midwest I wonder what your grocery store equivalent is ? I've never been in a Wegman's but I imagine it is something on that scale. Costco is large too but in a different way.Not sure what to add about this Woodman's but I am always in awwww of how much there is here ! Hope the pic tour encourages you to find and share your surprises in here too !”
“All the reviews are on point. Everyone here are very nice fast to unload, you can park in the street as long as you are close to curb. They start unloading at 0600 not 0500 . Lots of room to maneuver. In one way out other”

7904 N 2nd St, Machesney Park“This is my neighborhood spot!! Always feel welcomed like family here especially by Coleena aka "Mama". She brings that down home charm to this establishment and I look forward to seeing her specifically every time I go in there. ?”
“I was looking for Badger Spirits and discovered that it was under new ownership. The new name is Sunny's Liquor. Best beer selection I've seen, including many Wisconsin brews. The proprietor was very nice and helpful as well. You can't go wrong here!”
Open 24 hours
3155 McFarland Rd, Rockford“The best part about woodman's is the vast variety of product they provide. At times it feels like inter-dimensional shopping, I swear some of the stuff on their shelves look like fake products you'd see on a 90s sitcom, but it's all real I promise. They have good deals on certain products as well, and the best part, cherry on the sundae, they're open 24/7.”
“Good selection, decent pricing, helpful staff. Just a caution about the shopping center it is in, be aware of the bad drivers and undesirable people hanging around that area.”
“I always love shopping here. The owner keeps the place nice, clean, and always well stocked with a wide variety of drinks and mixers. Not only that but the staff is friendly and helpful, always willing to answer any questions you may have. I've sought out advice on what to drink and how to pair things and have never been disappointed”
“I went in a Thursday and it was cool. Nice experience in a small bar. It's a liquor store too! Drink special was for vodka/gin and $1 wings. I didn't get a chance to eat, but I'll be going back..food looked and smelled too good! Older crowd, which is what I like and the bartender was cool too. She watched my drink for me when I had to use the bathroom because I was alone. Bathroom was clean. People were friendly and chilling, playing pool, slots...music was good too, a whole lil vibe if you wanna get out the house and mingle with folks!”
“Went in looking for a specific wine for my sister’s graduation and the worker/cashier was very happy to help! Even though the store did not have it stocked he called the surrounding stores to see which one had it then gave me directions to the shop after calling one of the store workers. Very professional and wonderful experience all around, I truly recommend Cork Keg & Spirits and it’s workers!!! :)”
“We love Woodman's selections and great prices. We go there when we can, but the closest are Madison WI or Beloit IL. Iowa could absolutely use a couple Woodman's locations. Especially in Dubuque, IA. They need more supermarket competition, to be honest. Instead, they have (3) HyVee's with crazy prices and far less for selection.”
“Good prices people behind the counter are friendly, curtious and helpful They sell a lot of winning lottery tickets My favorite store to stop and pickup different items Jim”

3155 McFarland Rd, Rockford“Went to get my oil changed. Sat in line for close to a hour. 3 bays open and full. The price is right. I had to leave as I was on lunch for work! Did not get my oil changed. I will say it seemed like they could be short staffed. I will give it another try as I am a very frequent visitor at the grocery stores”
“Not much for sale but chips and soda but the parking lot is a common place to score drugs. There’s always a row of cars parked and waiting and eventually someone will offer to sell you something!”
“I want to give a huge thank and awesome experience to Megan for helping me track down a very elusive bottle of whiskey for me and calling me within hours that she found it!”
