Always good food and a good time! I had been away from the area for a long while and my recent visit was great, as expected. Although I was really bummed to see they no longer serve fruktsuppe (fruit soup)!
Ordered food for take out. First the food wasnt correct. Called them up and they offer a free meal... What about the one I just PAID for?Next I get to looking at my charges on my debit card and its $11 dollars more than the menu online. I call then again and its an old menu on their website. Maybe you should get that updated so people actually know how much theyre paying?!The food here is good but this whole situation went from ordering dinner to feeling like we got scammed out of time and money. Would not suggest ordering from here.
We go for the Swedish pancakes, which are always delicious. The other breakfast fare is also delicious, and the coffee and fresh squeezed OJ are wonderful.Service is extremely poor. Plan to be ignored and forgotten.
The food is delicious and priced very reasonable. Great big menu with lots of items. Especially glad they have gluten free choices, for one of my family members is gluten intolerant.
Good service and food, it just could have been a little bit hotter
They got our group of 17 in right away and our server was very attentive to us. I would recommend getting the lingonberries on the Swedish pancakes. Wouldn’t recommend the scrambled eggs but everything else tasted good.
Absolutely horrible service! I suppose its my fault that I keep ordering from them, but its hard to find home cooked type meals. But every single time without fail, they get the order wrong, forget something in the order, or charge us for things like sides and bread that are supposed to come with the meals according to the menu. Thats if you can even get the order taker on the phone to understand your order, the people that take the orders dont understand what you are saying at all. They are always so incredibly rude as well. I dont understand how they possibly have an almost 5 star rating. Its like they think because they have been in Rockford for so long that they can just treat people how ever they want, over charge people. Im convinced that they purposely put someone on the phone that acts like they dont understand English very well so that they can act confused so that you give up and agree to the extra charges just so that you can get your order placed.
There was one waitress working, she wouldnt even acknowledge our family,waited on someone who sat down after us. Thankfully the bus boy came over and asked us if we wanted drinks and then about 10, 15 minutes later he came back and took our order. Waitress still never even looking in our direction. It was so uncomfortably cold it was hard to relax. Food was ok, seems like every time we go service gets worse. Most likely wont go back.
People were friendly, place was busy.Ordered the skillet….It was not served on a skillet and it wasn’t hot… it had bag shredded potatoes, should have been cubed. And the meat was reheated and tasted so…. Thank god for Tabasco!
The swedish pancakes are amazing and Im planning on going back again just for them.Personnel was really friendly. If you plan on going for brunch during the weekend I suggest you make a reservation
My first meal there, I will come back . 2 of us had Swedish pancakes and 2 had Swedish potato dumplings we all enjoyed our selves. We all took home Swedish bake goods also.
Best staff ever. Ask for Francisco, friendly and super sweet. Food came out fast, hot and always delicious.
Where should we go for breakfast? Love the Swedish pancakes, and they have a breakfast buffett if you cant make up your mind and want to try a little of everything. Excellent selection of omelets, food for the whole family.
Do yourself a favor and order the Swedish Pancakes. I also recommend their weekend breakfast buffet. Service is great & the place is clean and inviting.
09Nov19. For my first time, I couldnt decide what to order. My waitress suggested the buffet. The service was excellent. The buffet is well worth the price. The potato casserole was delicious. The tater tots, gravy, eggs, bacon, and sausage were hot and just right. I wasnt impressed with the meatballs and swedish pancakes. The fruit was fresh, as well.
I shouldnt even one star them.. we got there at 5:30p.m didnt get to order our food and our drinks till 6p.m our food didnt get there till 6:45. it tasted horrible nothing was good only got one refill. room we where is was hot.. there was 2 servers there with only 3 or 4 other tables besides ours. it was THE WORST I HAVE EVER EXPERICED IN MY ENTIRE LIFE
The food was amazing! I got a light breakfast with swedish pancakes and two sausage links, it only took around 7 minutes to be served! The swedish pancakes were insanely easy to cut, and the sausage links were perfect texture. The butter was creamy and melted, and the buffets they have on weekends are AMAZING! I love the place and hope to go there again! 🙂
Visiting from Texas, and had to come try the world famous Swedish PancakesI liked them, but next time Ill tell them toast them a little more, I guess typically they come out kind of soggy, which while they taste good I prefer a toasted texture.Try with the linguini berries (linden, lingen, something like that)Portions are pretty large, and the price is right.Great service, great food, Ill go back there for breakfast next time Im in Rockford
Always a great meal at Stockholm. Great traditional food in a friendly environment. The soups are very good. No better place for a hot meal on a cold day. The Saturday smorgasbord is amazing. They have a shop with bakery items and fun gifts from the old world.
Very nice. We had lunch with the family after funeral services. Great staff, great service and great food. Thank you. We heard this was one of his favorite places to eat.
It was a wonderful breakfast. Thank you for accommodating my request and a delightful swedish pancake with eggs. Fresh squeezed OJ was also perfect.
I have been here a few times, they have reasonable prices and a buffet you can choose from instead of placing an order. Today I chose the buffet, they were serving breakfast and it was pretty good.
The service was fine. The food though is pretty good. But you guys need to include the buffet on the menu. Have a good day!
My wife has been talking about these Swedish pancakes since we met and it was exciting to finally try them. They absolutely lived up to the hype.
Fantastic food well supplied breakfast buffet on Saturday love the small container coffee so you dont have to keep asking for refills four-star lunch five star breakfast
Clean. Uniquely different. Enjoyed the weekend breakfast buffet.
This place is a little hole-in-the-wall restaurant they have good food here and get sandwiches the people are nice The Waitresses that are night and Waiters the owners are really nice I love this place for a quick bite
Excellent food. Short on staff.but it was worth the wait. My kids love the breakfast buffet
Terrific Sunday brunch buffet! The swedish pancakes and bread pudding... 🤤. So good!!
Stopped here on a road trip because I’m a Cheap Trick fan and Rick Nielsen of the band is part owner in the restaurant. They have his guitar on the wall and you can strum it for good luck. The restaurant was much larger than I expected and was decorated in a Swedish style, as well as very clean. The service was a little slow even though they weren’t busy at the off-peak time we were there, but the staff was pleasant. The Swedish meatballs and noodles were great. They are known for their lingonberry dishes, especially pancakes, so I tried some lingonberry jello to get a taste - and it was delicious! The meal also came with a small free dessert. The prices were very budget-friendly.
We enjoyed our meal very much. The Koldummer and Swedish pancakes brought back good memories of grandmas kitchen.
This is a pretty good place. The meatballs are good the gravy is excellent. Pot roast was good too. Staff very friendly even after getting yelled at by a whack job!
So...we cant come to Rockford as Swedes and not go to the home of Swedish Pancakes and Dahlia Horses...The Swedish pancakes with Lingon never disappoint!Is it perfect...absolutely not...Is it nostalgia... absolutely!!!Sometimes, you overlook all the faults just to experience it one more time...to have Swedish pancakes like grandma made...Update 5/22 - Tried an early dinner with family. There apprared to possibly be only one server, who was running non-stop. She was really trying and very overwhelmed.The Swedish Pancakes were wonderful as normal. The Swedish Meatballs were horrible! Dry, hard meatballs on top of a small smear or cold congealed gravy! Boiled Potatoes and green beans sides, had no seasoning. The Broiled Fish was quite small and had no seasoning. The Stewed Tomatoes and side salad were average at best. The Cardamon Rolls were actually fluffy, flavorful and Very Good!!!Our Advice...be prepared for some slower service. Stay with the Swedish Pancakes with Lingon...avoid other offerings!
Huge variety of food choices. Emphasis on pancakes and waffles but great entrees as well. Just finished a family Christmas dinner there - about 25 people. Perfect room and great service
Had tuna noodle casserole special and a cup of tomato soup. I was in the mood for some serious comfort food on a chilly night. It hit the spot. Everything was very good. Servers were very attentive.
We ordered 3 takeout Thanksgiving meals today. Got there at 12.27 to pick up and was out the door at 12.30. very good portion sizes. The food was Delicious. The staff very friendly. Will be back.
Tried checking in this hotel (or is it a motel? I dont speak Swedish), but the lights were on and had comfortable fluffed pillows (I guess gift shop means bedroom in Swedish?). No Swedish massages or bikini waxes offered. Also, no ABBA playing. Hourly rates! :) Darn good food!
I normally love the Stockholm Inn however, my last visit didnt go very well. It took 30-40 minutes to get my food and it was very cold. I can only guess that was because of lack of servers?
Been years since Ive been here,went last week and its still the best place for breakfast
Love this restaurant, if youre a fan of crapes this a must go to restaurant. Theyre breakfast list is fantastic. They also have a buffet for breakfast as well. I havent had anything off there lunch section yet, so I cant comment on that but there breakfast is good.
I ate at Stockholm Inn 12 yrs ago. It has lots of charm and is clearly very popular. Saturday and Su day are the days to go for the well-priced buffet that has nearly everything you would find on the menu anyway.Personally I loved the swedish meatballs. The Swedish pancakes are great and a staple. The eggs left a lot to be desired from the buffet but you kind of expect it to be cafeteria style scrambled eggs. Staff was all really pleasant as well and very attentive. Carmen was great!!That said, I give it 4 stars because, frankly, its just a slightly fancier, ethnic Ihop with a buffet. Many of the items are precisely how you would find them at another breakfast stop (hash browns, eggs, bacon). You wont be upset and the food is very tasty. The price and the experience should synch the deal, though thats only true on the weekend special prices. Otherwise I dont know that there are enough reasons to go unless you have a craving or are passing through and really cant go on the weekend.Will I be back again? Sure. Back again next weekend? No.
This is the breakfast spot! It’s grown quite the following over the years. When I was here many years ago it was just an awesome little place. Now there were people taken pictures in front of the Stockholm sign.
Food selection excellent. Most of the many items I got were delicious. However the kroppkuker had cooled. The time it took for the waitress to first get to us was considerable but they seemed short staffed as are many establishments now and after the initial wait the service was fine.
Amazing Swedish pancakes and a great atmosphere. Cant go wrong with any of their breakfast items.
Always a good experience with great food, good prices, kind staff.
Pancakes are always perfect here, their cinnamon rolls used to be good, but with my last experience the cinnamon roll was actually pretty terrible, super dry, and the frosting didnt taste quite right Went here for my sisters birthday
Good place, good food, but often overcrowded
We got there at about noon so they were fairly busy. Our waitress was very friendly and checked on us often. My fried chicken was great and my girlfriend enjoyed her steak and eggs. We will definitely be going again.I wanted to add that Google asked if they deliver and I said yes. They dont personally deliver but you can go through one of the food delivery apps.Also said that you can do take out. Its not advertised but reasonably sure if you order and ask for it to go they would do so for you.
Reservation was for 22. Place setting was for 24. Turned out not to be a problem because two adjacent tables were available.Service was amazingly good, considering the size of our group.Swedish pancakes were as good as expected.
The Best service 🙌 👌Food is good.My 2 waitresses were very funny and professional 😄
Good service all the way around ,lunch, breakfast, dinner, always good tasting all the way around and never felt rushed or in a hurry.
We went for Swedish pancakes and Swedish meatballs! They have an extensive menu, which included American staples as well, but we wanted Swedish. The pancakes were incredible! The meatballs were just a little off. I couldnt put my finger on it, but it had a faint aroma of being off. Service was average. The wait staff felt free to talk to each other shouting across the room. One burst into loud song as she moved between tables, and no, this wasnt a show or the restaurants theme thing! I was a little nonplussed. However, i might go again if i am in the neighborhood.
I never understood the appeal of this place. I have been twice to dine in. The first time I went I had no idea what to expect other than the seemingly stellar reviews on google. Let me just say it was the opposite. Extremely poor service from the staff. They rushed us to place our food order once we sat down. Understandably, they were moderately busy, but we sat and waited for our food for 30 minutes. During that time we got no refills and when the server arrived with the food he set the plates down with the check and never checked on us after. I ordered a skillet and was not asked how I would like my eggs cooked. It’s not a huge deal, but it’s actually quite standard at breakfast joints to ask. So this left me disappointed because I ended up getting something I didn’t want, no condiments, no refills on my drink, and couldn’t even wave someone down for a to go box. We gave the place another shot and went a second time, but it was the same situation. The meal for the two of us was 40 bucks and it was lousy. If you are looking for a local joint to get breakfast with quality food, memorable service, and decent prices go to Johnny Pamcake’s. They treat you like family and even remember how you like your coffee.
I have been coming here my entire life. What you see before you is a short-stack of Swedish pancakes and a side of crispy bacon. It’s so good, word can’t describe it! 5 stars for the Stockholm Inn!
I really only gave this restaurant two stars because of the unique decor and the palatable service.However, it took forever to get our food and my party was like the second group in the door that morning. And the food itself was meh at best. And it honestly hurts me to say that because I have fond memories of this place when I was younger but as and adult… this is a place I recommend skipping, unless you’re all about that Swedish decor and Swedish pancakes.I ordered the Swedish pancakes and actually those were really good. But the biscuits and gravy? Virtually inedible. What’s frustrating is that I ordered a separate biscuit for my kids at the table and that was very moist. Somehow the biscuits I got with my B&G tasted super dry, even WITH THE GRAVY. And there was no flavor. I had to stop eating it. Just save everyone the trouble and take it off your menu until you change the recipe. Please. Also, way overpriced for the quality of food. In it’s current state, not worth it.
This was the food I got, the turkey club, it was very good and filling, I could only eat half, I highly recommend Stockholm Inn to anyone
We went there after church and they have a great breakfast buffet really enjoyed it😃
Ive been going here since I was a small boy at their first location. Nothing negative can be said, this place is fantastic.
Came in for breakfast and food was great. Service was fast and friendly. Was very clean.
I Love Stocholm Inn .There food is very good . My grandson took me there .Tyler is a sweethart.
I absolutely love their swedish pancakes
Shared a family gradution party, the food and the service was exceptional.
Solid place to eat, good food and decent prices.
I walked in and it smelled amazing. Took a go-go order home and everything was delicious.
Im usually happy with everything here, last time I ordered I did 4 takeout, we mostly dine in, ordered my short stack of sweds w/lingonberries & side order of hashbrowns. Pickup order was missing the lingonberries that we get charged extra for, hashbrowns not cooked well enough, could have been little more brown/crispy. Also wanted hashbrowns with onion, green pepper & cheese, the gal taking order didnt seem 2 comprehend what I was asking her for, so told her just give me regular hashbrowns instead. When we dine in, I usually dont have a problem ordering my hashbrowns this way. Gal taking orders by phone could have better phone etiquette too when taking the orders. We go here frequently, as we live nearby this area & usually have good food & service from here.
This has been a must stop for when we are in Rockford. We have been eating here for over 40 years. Fresh squeezed orange juice, enormous omelots, and to die for swedish pancakes with ligonberries, that rival my own. Gift shop for all our Scandinavian trinkets.❤
Great food, great service. Love coming there for lunch.
Food is good and fresh. My favorite Coffee is here too.
Loved this place. From the decorations to food and service. Everything was great.
EXTREMELY disappointed today! Wife and i walked in at 10:05 am. Nobody was waiting to be seated. After 6 minutes of waiting to be seated, an older, very rude lady grabbed menus and walked away from us not saying to follow her to the table. After finally getting seated, it took another 10 minutes for a waitress to come to our table for our order. I ordered a Patty Melt and the wife, Eggs and Corned Beef Hash. Pretty easy order. Finally, at 10:48 and no waitress in site, and still no food, we had enough and left.
Ordered food for pick up and all we got was sandwiches that both came with a side. Also added a cup of soup for each order which was only .99 each to add according to the menu. Our bill should have been $20-21 plus tax and we were charged $30+
Disgusting. Baked chicken looked and tasted as if made a week ago and reheated. Stuffing dry and tasteless. Baked sweet potato was half baked, hard as a rock. Baked rice pudding also dry, old, tasted very stale and rice grains crumbled into nothing. Was missing one complete item from pick up order. Never again. Wish I could give minus stars.
Ate here yesterday morning, great meals! Bought a loaf of what was supposed to be Sweet Rye bread. OUR mistake its no longer Swedish Sweet Rye bread!! Aweful. Swedes are crying.😪
Wonderful food great prices fast service!!!
The best swedish pancakes you will ever eat.
Great food at a reasonable price. Love the breakfast buffet. Stockholm has been a rockford tradition for as long as I can remember. They must be doing something right.
Havent been here since 1983, when we lived in the area. Food tasted just as good today as it did then. Swedish pancakes with legion berries for me. Wife had the potato pancakes. I sneaked a couple of bites, Wonderful! Visited the bakery and picked go some item for our daughters family.Waist line will not stand to may visits but we will be back.
Paid almost 9$ for my stuffed French toast to be missing half the ingredients listed. It’s not even worth calling in when it’s a to go order. Really disappointing , try to do better please
We went for breakfast yesterday and tried the all you can eat for 11.99 per person. It was excellent, the swedish pancakes so fluffy and melt in your mouth with lingonberries! Good Lord! Also swedish meatballs, scrambled eggs, bacon , sausage, french toast, fresh fruit, two kinds of cheesy potato casseroles, biscuits and gravy, etc. Too much to mention but excellent. The coffee is excellent too! Go early to avoid the crowd. We went at around 9:45am. It was perfect and tasted so good! We will definitely be back! Thank you to all the hard working staff at Stockholm, we appreciate you all!!!!🥰🥰🥰
I wish I lived closer. Id go here more often!Fabulous food!!
Yummy breakfast The cheesy potatoes were great
Simply delicious and filling! Fast service of hot food! Wish waiter had returned a couple times. Another waitress filled the gap!!
My husband and i ordered our favorite meal. Swedish pancakes, eggs, bacon for me, sausage for my husband. Coffee. I make swedish pancakes, I use my grandmothers (mor mor) recipe. Her recipe calls for a little vanilla. Her. secret ingredient. YUM
Went here for the Mothers Day brunch AND dinner buffet and it was the best around by far! Very professionally done with plexiglass in front of all the food and servers dishing it up faster than any of us could have! What a great experience and of course the best Swedish food around!!
I threw my sister a baby shower here and was so disappointed. They promised us 30 minutes to set up and when i got there, people were seated in the room. When i told the hostess she was extremely rude and unhelpful. They also did not provide the tables we asked for and we had to hunt someone down to bus the tables once the people finally left. This caused us to have to scramble to set up in 15 minutes while guests were starting to arrive. We also had planned out a set menu with them beforehand which consisted of 4 options. The menu they gave the guests only had 3 options and one of them was completely wrong. We had also agreed to only offer coffee and water for beverages, but the listed a bunch of soda options and this ended up costing us 100 dollars more. And to top it all off the service was terrible we had to ask several times for water and they didnt bring it out until after we had started eating. And no one ate the eggs because were cold and really undercooked. I do not suggest booking a party with them.
Wife and I both had a great breakfast food here is excellent Weatherby breakfast lunch or dinner
Just ordered take out. I got home and realized one of the meals wasnt in there. I ordered a salmon dinner and a tuna melt. The tuna was missing. I understand accidents happen but I tried calling them 3 times but no answer. I tried to leave a message but the voicemail is full. I guess Im just out of my money. If they answer tomorrow and correct it Ill happily take this review down.
9 out of 10 times the order is wrong or missing something. Quality has gone way down hill from past years.
Food was alright , found out Im not a fan of swedish meatballs 😁
Nice lunch, had a business meeting in on of the little rooms. Good service as always.
Food is delightful! Fresh OJ is awesome but was told strawberry on was fresh but they were tub strawberries way to much sugar. Have extra time, as theyre rather short-staffed
My favorite Rockford restaurant! I came in from out-of-state and couldnt wait to have lunch here. The swedish pancakes were fantastic as always. Side of bacon was perfect, too. Cutest restroom around. You can purchase packaged Swedish foods and gifts/souvenirs, too.
It was ok. The service was better than the food in my opinion.The prices were fair and the place was clean.
Waited an hour after ordering and never received any food. Meanwhile people who came after us were seated, got there food, ate, and left. The waitress never gave her name, and didnt come back after i asked why or food was taking so long. This was the second time they did this.
My favorite spot in Rockford. The best swedish pancakes EVER!!
Great place to eat. All servers are very friendly. Good Thanksgiving meal and I didnt have to do dishes. LOL.
Swedish pancakes Here are authentic!!! They are exactly the way my husbands grandma made them for us in the 50’s. The only exception is she made them the size of silver dollars—-and she would make 50 to 100 to feed us all. Every other restaurant we have ever eaten them at were just glorified crepes. We also ordered bacon which was especially tasty. Also the Swedish meatballs were very good. Overall the food was the “most authentic” ethnic food we have ever eaten!!! You won’t be disappointed!!!
We were a party of 6 for the mothers day brunch, they were extremely busy but from the moment we walked the staff was friendly and unharried, they had to buffet lines and they moved quickly and the was hot, fresh and delicious...and the food servers were, quick, generous and friendly. This was a totally good experience and we all commented on how fortunate we were to come across this as our choice
I just go here for the swedish pancakes, everything else its the same as the other breakfast places.
Stockholm Inn is and always has been an icon of Rockford dining. As old as the restaurant is, it is still immaculately clean and the decor really contributes to make it an upbeat Swedish ambiance. The food is everything you ever needed for breakfast. Hands down best swedish pancakes and lingonberries around. Its very popular to eat here and always busy but the service is good and you never wait long at all. Its a treat to eat here and I will continue to treat myself every chance I get!
Very clean. Wait staff very friendly. You can sit and have a conversation after dinner. They do not try to get you out once you have taken the last bite of food. Food was excellent. I had a Patty melt. The rye bread had a home made taste. The coleslaw was delicious. The person I was dining with had an egg salad sandwich with their homemade potato chips. Plenty of filling and homemade bread. Prices are great! Saturday night buffet is $14.99. Definitely a go to restaurant.
The customer service at this place has really gone downhill. Walked in and were told to sit and wait to be seated at a table. We waited for 12 minutes and two other families who walked in after us, got seated before us. I finally said something to the lady at the front and she said “oh sorry we thought you were waiting for a pick up”.We finally got seated, this one waitress said someone would be right with us as she kinda just pushed the plate mats in front of us.As we were talking, Fragoso (our waiter) dude with a long pony tail, walked up to our table. Didn’t greet us, looked annoyed and just stared at us, like literally for a good solid awkward 4 seconds.Finally he said, “you want to order or I come back.”At that point, I just ordered our food (that he still didn’t get right). Maybe he was having an off day, who knows. I rarely write reviews but this is the 4th or 5th time that I’ve had a bad experience at Stockholm. Which is really unfortunate because this used to be the place to go growing up. I remember it used to be so lively and the staff was always so jolly and welcoming!Most of the staff now & even some management look miserable and like they don’t want to be there. I’m not writing this review to bash them, only in hopes that maybe it’ll give them the motivation to make some changes.
If you want GREAT fleshly made food and Big portions at a great price. Eat at this restaurant!!!!
Stopped by for a late-day breakfast after a little day trip to the Japanese Gardens. The pancake combo was such a generous portion; the pancakes were huge and delicious! I also ordered a cinnamon bun and was not expecting the giant sized pastry that came out 🤤 Our server Lizbeth (I didnt catch her name, but thats what the receipt showed) was super sweet and checking in with us often. +5 stars just for her 😊
Great Swedish pancakes but mediocre weak coffee. Most distressing was the loud dish dumping next to our table in the middle of the dining area. This near constant crashing of dishes created a cacophony that abruptely halted any possibility of conversation with relatives we had traveled hundred of miles to see. Maybe move this task to the kitchen or get rubber dishes. 😆
Its been awhile since Ive been there. Havent had any lunch money to buy food. Im a veteran who has been homeless. I now have a place. Ill try and come more often. I wish they had lefsa. This is my favorite family food.
Swedish Pancakes and freshly squeezed orange juice are the best!
The waiters are rude and never ask if you need anything or if you need a refill. You always have to track them down and when you do they have a terrible attitude. I’ve lived in Rockford all my life and Stockholm inn is not the best! If you are looking for great customer service and waiters who care go to Johnny Pamcakes! 100x better! Stockholm inn is terrible.
Our very enjoyable visit to the Stockholm in for breakfast left me with one question: Why arent Swedish Pancakes served more widely in the US? They are wonderful and a solid specialty for this restaurant. We would gladly return - breakfast was great.
World famous swedes is no joke. Always good service and friendly staff.
The Stockholm Inn was fantastic! We needed a good breakfast spot while we were in town for work and saw the reviews and decided to give it a shot. I got the world famous Swedish pancakes and loved them! We were not offered any of the lingonberry jam, but I didnt mind as the butter provided kicked the flavor up even more! Great outdoor seating.
Menu said world famous burgers, false advertising it was the worst burger I ever had, dry, no taste, and small. Service was bad and super slow, sat there for 25 minutes before waiter even came to table. Took our order, brought the food, and brought bill. Never asked us if we needed a refill or if everything was ok. Terrible service. Bad nite of dining sorry.
Fantastic food! Weve only done delivery due to COVID, so we cant speak of inside. Though my mother called and asked a question, and the woman who answered the phone was nice and knowledgeable.My family so far had the potato bake, egg casserole, blueberry muffins (I will never eat a muffin from anywhere else again), Swedish pancakes, Swedish meatballs, pea soup, baked chicken, loose meat sandwich, their housemade chips, Swedish rye bread, and the cardamom roll. Everything so far has been amazing and homemade.They have new regular customers in us!
Stockholm Inn is a destination to visit in Rockford, IL. Whenever we have guests from out of town we take them to Stockholm Inn for breakfast. They have a nice buffet which is a great way to sample the various breakfast offerings. Their Swedish pancakes are fantastic and their cheesy potato bake is also very good.The last few times I have been their I have had the same waiter. He forgot about our table and I ended up going to the front desk to ask for the bill. I was told he receives a number of complaints and that I should ask for a different waiter the next time I come in. I was told that my concern would be brought to management.All other experiences have been great! Next time I go I will make sure I have a different waiter.
Great food at reasonable prices the breakfast buffet was excellent and worth it
Ordered on the phone. When I got my order home 1 order was wrong. I got a very tasty sweedish pot roast and a tastey dinner role. What I did not get was my 2 sides. If you order take out make sure to check everything before you leave because they might not have put everything you asked and paid for.
Excellent food- fresh and homemade! Love the Swedish pancakes and potato bake. New Bananas Foster coffee and Swedish coffee cakes in the gift shop keep the goodness going!!
Buffet was good $11.99 Saturday- Sundays 8-2
Swedish pancakes are so rich and good. I probably dont want to look at the nutrition. Im so curious how they are made. Should I get a job there?
Not a bad place to get breakfast especially if you like an all you can eat buffet. Get there early enough before the crowd arrives. Usually crowded.
Awesome food definitely go on Saturdays and Sundays for the breakfast buffet.
Great breakfast place. Lots of room. I ordered 2 egg whites, has browns extra crispy and bacon. The portions where large. Cooked the way I ordered. The items in their gift shop are really nice.
Popular place, very busy on Sunday mornings. Plenty of good breakfast options. Great Swedish pancakes and cardamom rolls! Currently offering inside dining with on-site registration per Illinois pandemic rules. Great service. A must!
Service was very slow. Food was mediocre and over priced for what we got. My wife ordered pea soup, the peas were undercooked and soup was luke warm. Wife complained and met little sympathy from wait staff. Not sure if we will return.
I love Stockholm Inn. Ive been going since before they changed locations. The Swedish pancakes are the best! The design is dated but is consistent, its dated by choice. Its the food, always the food. Service is good. Sunday breakfast buffet is devine. Enjoy!
Went there during quarantine so the buffet wasnt open but I got the world famous Swedish pancakes and the cheesy potatoes. I think they should switch titles. While the pancakes melt in your mouth and are totally amazing the cheesy potato casserole was a savory and excellent counter to the sweet pancakes. Wouldnt change a thing and will order more potatoes next time!
Food was good buffet was not disappointing. Felt a bit covidie due to the popularity. Will go back!
I hate leaving bad reviews... If youre looking for food, this place is really good! But the atmosphere is really oppressive. Both me and my fiance felt like we couldnt speak, felt uncomfortable the whole time. Staff was sweet! Food is pretty alright! But atmosphere kills the whole experience.
Excellent food and service!
Tried the weekend buffet for the first time and was might impressed. A higher quality of food, including Swedish Pancakes and Lingonberries. Sausage, bacon, at least 3 kinda of potatoes, buttermilk pancakes, scrambled eggs, etc. For $10.95 a person, its a great deal. Service was also prompt and friendly. Cant ask for anything more.
Bad attitude and rude service when I asking as one questions for Food culture.
We had a group meeting here and they did a great job serving us! The Swedish pancakes were amazing as always.
I have only had the Swedish pancakes, but thats reason enough to make a return visit! Really good! I did get a slice of blueberry pie to go, and it was a delicious treat! Slices are big enough to share, or save some for later.
Food was good but not as good as it use to be. Very busy. Waitresses were carry these huge trays of food. I felt sorry for them.
Great place. Good staff. Decent food.
Meatloaf was pretty dry. Mashed potatoes were the real thing and delish. Service left a lot to be desired.
This has been a local mainstay for many years. Despite its incarnation into a much larger investor owned version of the original family restaurant, it has managed to maintain much of the characteristics that made the original successful. If youve got a hankering for some of their specialties such as swedish pancakes, swedish meatballs or vanilla pecan crust pie, this is the place.
If you love Swedish pancakes, this is the place for you! Their breakfasts are outstanding and the wait staff is so nice. They also have a great Swedish artifacts area and Swedish things to buy. The food is pretty good and the buffet is kept up pretty well. When going for major holiday the service is a little slow but overall great food. This is a decades known staple for the area. We were greeted by friendly staff and quickly seated. A variety of food was ordered and enjoyed by al
The food is as good as it was 30 years ago!
Big but homey. Good service. Great Swedish food. Excellent buffet. Customers of all varieties but a lot of blonde people there, must be a local Swede favorite. Easy parking with a rear entrance if front parking is full. We brought home six Swedish pancakes. They are sort of like thick crepes.
Great food priced right ! Best Swedish pancakes in the area. I personally love their eggs Benedict with salmon. They also have a good brunch on the weekend. Lots of seating .
Good place , good people & good food.
Always great food.Sundays breakfast buffet is so delicious!Has a little bit of Everything.
Love this restaurant! I am a caregiver for elderly and disabled. My client introduced me to this wonderful place as Im not a Rockford native. We went there many times. The Swedish pancakes, OMG they are so good, a must try! Food is hearty and delicious, staff attentive and very welcoming. If you havent been here yet, Id definitely give it a try!
I have enjoyed multiple visits to the Stockholm Inn for breakfast. They have a variety of breakfast options for any pallet. If you have a sweet tooth the classic Swedish pancakes are tasty. Otherwise they have a variety of hardy omelette options. The service is always good but be advised, despite the fact this place is huge, it can get crazy busy at times.
My first time at this restaurant. Very busy, so reservations may be needed. Great small rooms for groups. We enjoyed ours. Great service. The menu is Swedish so be prepared. If you have not experienced it you will enjoy it. Prices are reasonable.
The breakfast buffet is amazing!!
1st time was my last time. The wait was long and we were like the 3rd group there. Then we got our food and man I dont recall ordering extra grease. N at the end I noticed my eggs were still raw. 🤢 wont be going there again.
Has been a breakfast staple for years for our family. Was able to go today, and tried the buffet for first time. As usual place was packed full, but did not have a wait. Buffet was fast and had plenty of tasty offerings.
I have been coming here regularly for over 30 years. Each time, I feel I get a tad more disappointed. I know there are new owners and maybe things aren’t run now like they have been for decades. For example, the breakfast buffet offers up some wonderful food choices, but the food is usually at room temperature or cold. If you get the buffet, plan on your server being scarce. Ration your drinks! Today, while We were up grabbing from the buffet, we came back to our table being cleared. Our phones and full drinks were still on the table! Awkward. Then the bus boy scurried away and left someone else’s used coffee cups on our table once he realized we were still eating. Also awkward. Might be a while til We come back.
Top A1 food and service. Great atmosphere.Amber was our waitress and she was an amazing hostess and server to our table and one to many of Stockholm’s guests besides us. She was very attentive to our needs, remembered all that we had requested from her, not to mention her smiling and friendly personality. She made us feel as though we were her only customers even though she was obviously very busy!I’ll recommend Stockholm Inn to all of my friends.
14.00 for a basic breakfast of eggs,potatos,sausage patties, glass of OJ....The sausage patties were flavorless and below the quality of Mc Donalds. The OJ was a mix of a tang like orange drink and real juice ... probably like 50/50... 4.00 for the OJ !!!! They gave me some off brand ketchup packets ( only 3 tiny ones) the kind you get in the county jail..... Had better food at Danville Prison. If you are looking to eat breakfast..... pass Rockford by. These people in this town are thirsty, rude, and the bottom of the gene pool.!!!!
The food is good. I do have to say that I feel ignored Everytime I go there. On three separate occasions we have waited a long time to either get waited on or get our food. One time it was so bad they gave us coupons for free swedish pancakes. When we returned two times to use said coupons, it was a similar experience. Maybe regulars get priority or maybe minorities are not of high importance to the staff. Food is very good though.
Im truly baffled by the positive reviews. The breakfast buffet was absolutely disgusting with semi warm food and soggy Swedish pancakes. Service was slow and the food quality was worse than eating at Dennys. Weve been to this place a few times and have been underwhelmed both times. There are MuCH better breakfast options in Rockford. This place was just gross. Maybe they used to be good.
Good but not great, thought wed cut the wait time for food by ordering the buffet. Still didnt do the trick. Got our drinks after we were done eating, and ready for the bill. Wait staff never cracked a smile.Still love the Swedish atmosphere. I am sure its not our last time there.
We had a great time at the Stockholm Inn. This was a girls weekend and I was so excited to try this place. I was not disappointed. The food, the store, all was fantastic!
Sweads were good like always, eggs were scramble and I think fake,our wait time after order was over 30 minutes way to long, then 3 adults and 2 kids with tip was 62 dollars, also to much.
Probably the best swedish pancakes Ive ever had and great style and energy especially around the holidays.
Took my nieces & son for a special Swedish breakfast. It was around 10 in the morning. The place was not busy. It was 10 minutes before the server came to our table. She took the order & was some time before she even brought water & coffee. We waited for 45 minutes & she did not come by even once to check on us or to tell us why our food was taking so long. We thought of just getting up & leaving but didn’t. When the food came, it was cold, probably had been sitting for sometime. We complained at the checkout & the lady shrugged & said the kitchen must’ve been busy. Not going back!
They are unlike anything else, or anywhere else. I would love to tell you about the other food, but i literally get the same thing every time i come because it is that good! The food comes out within minutes of ordering it. Staff is always so prompt. I recently tried their special cheesy breakfest potatoes and they did not disappoint! They offer a breakfast/ brunch buffet that is the bomb. Anything you could possibly think of they offer- just on Sundays.
After long day of traveling had a great meal. Got the bacon burger meal. Very fresh and juicy - French fries crispy. Did not go inside - so can not vouch for that. But outside - clean seemed well kept up. Nice place would definitely return.
Buffet is extreme value and food is top notch breakfast food. Freshly squeezed orange juice. Its almost worth going there just for the orange juice.
Good service. Best swedish pancakes ever!You can tell because they are always busy.
Great atmosphere. Food used to be fantastic, but has dropped a bit in quality in recent years. Staff is generally friendly and helpful, but Ive had some rather curt, frowny waitresses. Either way, Stockholm Inn is a staple of Rockford, and I definitely recommend eating here if you havent already. And try the Swedish pancakes, they are DIVINE.
Very disappointed on Monday 2-19-18. Took 5 people for Swedish pancakes. Seated promptly waited 15 min for waitress to come greet us. When she got to the table she was exhausted because management had understaffed waitresses Place was packed only 6 waitresses to all those tables. Theres so much more to say but Im in the same business so I wont go there. Food saved the day and i will be back someday and will be sure to make a reservation or five myself a 3 hour window to get seated, drinks, food and pay the bill. Definitely not happy with being understaffed.
Took Mom there for Mothers Day ( eve) . We wanted to go some place different than the usual..and we enjoyed ourselves immensely. The food was AWESOME.
Ive only been here for the Swedish Buffet on Saturdays, and it is delightful. The servers are efficient and helpful. Highly recommend the cardamom rolls and swedish meatballs. Also, cheesy potato bake!The baked goods in the gift shop are spectacular. Dont forget to pick up some to take home.
The food is good especially the fresh squeezed orange juice. The service this time was slow and the waitress was inattentive. The only problem I have is that the toilet in the mens bathroom closest to the urinal is loose....so when u sit down it feels like your gonna fall off. I brought this to the attention of management a couple of months ago and it still is not fixed. I dont know about anybody but it doesnt feel good when youre trying to do your business.
Nice cozy place. Buffett not kept hot enough and too pricey for the quality. ($14.99) The swedish pancakes truly are as good as they claim, but again needs to be served hot as food should be. If its not hot it becomes only mediocre. Our server Caroline was great, very friendly and attentive. If we go again I would request her to wait on us.
Not a great experience. Started off with a rude waitress. Her attitude was not friendly. When we asked for more creamer for the coffee, it took her over 5 minutes to return and she threw them on the table. Our table had asked for both regular and decafe coffee. She only brought out regular and was not pleasant or prompt about bringing out the other coffee. She did not come back to check on us after the food was delivered until she brought the check. The place was not busy, but it took awhile to get our food. This place used to be one I would recommend people to go to. After this type of service received on more than one visit it is no longer on my must go to list.
Ordered the corned beef and hash omelette. The corned beef hash is clearly from a can. It was served warm wrapped in a tasteless egg. The hashbrowns were mushy. On a positive note, the wheat toast was toasted and buttered well and the coffee was good.I had lunch with a group. The waitress asked if I needed a minute to order after I had only been seated for two minutes. I said I would need more than a minute. She said youre kidding right? A minute later she asked if I was ready to order. I said I need another minute because Ive never been here before. She said you are the last to order and we are waiting on you.None of the servers were cordial during the meal. Definitely couldnt recommend and I wont be back.
Indulged in the breakfast buffet. It was very tasty. Bacon was very crispy and scrabbled eggs very fluffy.
Swedish pancakes & Denver omelet were FANTASTIC 《and they tasted pretty good too》.
Stockholm is quite a large restaurant with lots of different spaces.There are fancy rooms with murals that can be reserved for smaller groups, large rooms that can be reserved for large groups, regular table and booth seating and diner-style counter seating.In addition to all this there is a store attached where you can buy items from Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and Finland. These include food items, clothing, knives, knickknacks, and the like. As these are authentic imported items, they can be relatively pricey.There is a large menu with breakfast items served all day. There are daily specials and the food is very reasonably priced. If you want to give many menu items a try, Saturday evenings are their smorgasbord where you can try everything buffet style. Stockholm is open most holidays for limited hours by reservation and a special meal is served on those days. If you like Swedish pancakes, you definitely have to stop here.
We loved this place. The food is great, especially the swedish meatballs. Its a pretty restaurant and the service was great. The gift shop is impressive and entertaining. This may sound odd, but the restrooms are absolutely beautiful! I took pictures of the ladies room. My photos of the stockholm inn are posted under the shopping center where it is located...I couldnt figure out how to change that on the application.
The array of choices is stunning. Solid quality for a fair price. Great Swedish atmosphere. Now, lets talk about the Saturday night buffet... its amazing!-- probably the BEST selection, quality, and value we have experienced anywhere.
My wife grew up going to this restaurant whenever she visited her grandparents. It doesnt have the same nostalgia factor for me that it does for her, but the food speaks for itself. Cinnamon rolls are one of my favorite foods and they have possibly the best Ive ever had. Im just so mad that Ive been here several times and waited until our last visit to try it.
I ordered the potato dumpling stuffed with sausage. Not good and tiny portion for the cost. I ordered an entire other dish because it was so tiny. That, however, was great. The corned beef hash omelette with crispy hash browns were done perfectly. It took way too long to get the food though.
Great buffet with authentic Swedish food. Good service. Nice shopping area too.
Doesnt get any better! Daily specials with authentic Swedish meals! My 2 favorites are served on the same day. I often eat one for lunch and take the other one home. They are the mock chicken leg (it is veal in the shape of a leg) all covered in a creamy white sauce. The other meal is baby back ribs cooked in sauerkraut with sweet red cabbage. So very different but both good in their own way.PS. The Swedish pancakes are to die for!
Stockholm in is a very good restraunt.With a great Fish Dinner.I would recommend it to anyone that wantA good fish Dinner with great serviceI have not tried any other foods so Im only going to rate todays experience.
Food was excellent however, the wait time was not. Had reservations and still waited. Then after getting to table, we waited a long time for server. Took FOREVER to get our food.
10 am on a Tuesday and this out of the way place had more than 50 people eating. Large place, seated quickly.Authentic swedish food and great variety of other choices. Egg casserole was light and fluffy, delicious. Potato pancakes were excellent.Only complaint is a side of links were 2 small ones and they have fountain iced tea. In this day when cold brew is so good, theres no reason for a sit down place to have fountain tea.Beautiful bakery offerings
The service was terrible. Had to ask for silverware,napkins. I asked for a glasd of unsweetened tea. 15 minutes later she comes back to tell me she had to change something over. 10 minutes later she com3 back with my tea. Never came back to ask how our food was. My friends steak was overcooked. The waitress was right behind us talking to someone. Apparently non paying customers are more important than the paying ones. Will never go there again.
It was excellent, my husband and I both had the buffet and it was perfect because you get a chance to taste everything. And they have this cute store that sells baked items to American doll outfits. I cant wait to go back
On Sunday September 17, we reserved a room for 16 guests. We had a wonderful time celebrating a baby shower for my niece. The waitress was WONDERFUL ! Her name is Amber. She was polite, courteous and very professional. The orders were accurate and we were served in a timely manner. All the food that was ordered very good. I have already recommended Stockholm Inn to several people. However your website is not user friendly!
We visited on a Friday morning. It was late morning so we wanted to order breakfast. However when we got there, they had a buffet going. It looked so good that we all ordered that. It was wonderful. We still got the Swedish pancakes and lingonberries that we planned on getting, but because of the buffet we got a whole more. Between us, we also enjoyed fresh fruit, bacon, sausage, roll, cheesy potatoes, Swedish meatballs, baked beans and fuji apples that were baked. The buffer is worth the trip. Just remember to use a clean plate!
Wide variety of food but not for the health conscious person. Glad I could di veggie habachi and cook with perfection and no oil. But most expensive medicore buffet food I had.
Great breakfast buffet. Good food. Super friendly family atmosphere.

2022-05-18I havent been here in years, used to come here for Thanksgiving every year until one year they were serving pretty much a raw turkey until me and another lady said something and they came and took the turkey away and everyone was left without having turkey on Thanksgiving and still had to pay full price. But went again and food was great although it took a long time to get when hardly anyone was there

2021-11-14I had the smokehouse skillet and my wife had the buffet. I was super impressed with the skillet. Lots of meat mixed in with eggs, peppers, hash browns, and onions. DISCLAIMER: MY WIFE, WHO IS HALF SWEDISH, DOES NOT DO WELL AT BUFFETS. My wife was disappointed by the buffet. The biscuits and gravy here meh, the bacon tasted like cardboard and the variety was OK. The service was great and the atmosphere was memorable. Also, the meatballs from the buffet were really good.

2022-01-18We had the buffet for $13 each. Amazing. Every bite was fantastic. Swedish pancakes are to die for!!! The server also retrieved cream cheese for me, even though it was on the buffet and I just missed it. I was thoroughly impressed.

2022-04-24Service was slow, prices were a little high, roast turkey was tasty and tender, cabbage rolls were firm and bland, veggies were not seasoned at all. The atmosphere is kitchy.I would eat here again, but not often.The cardamom rolls are a must! Absolutely delicious.

2021-01-21Stop in for a huge hearty breakfast! You cant go wrong with filling Swedish pancakes, and if you have never had a waffle with a light cardamom flavor, youre missing out on a cozy treat. If you order the cinnamon roll, consider splitting it with another person... or two. Theyre huge! Friendly service and the folks at the checkout station are always helpful. Gift cards offered at the front desk make a great option for friends and family as well.

2022-02-24Cinnamon French toast was superb. Fries and burger were delicious. Biscuits and gravy were slightly warm and kind of dry. Serving staff wasnt very friendly. Overall good.

2022-04-02The reason I gave Stockholm Inn 3 stars was simply because of cost. This may or may not be from recent inflation but when does 1 piece of ham, 2 pancakes, 2Swedish pancakes, 2 eggs over easy, and 2 cup of Swedish peas soup cost $45.00? Inflation or not that is just absurd.
