Rockford Is Home To The ‘Best Fast Food Joint’ In Illinois
Let's not go too crazy though, because outside of the two found in the Rockford area, another 400 or so can be found across the country.
GuiltyEats outlined the best fast food joint in each state recently, and they decided the best was Potbelly Sandwich Shop.
They say "serving classics as the Roast Beef and the Chicken Salad, and their most famous sandwich, "A Wreck" it's pretty easy to get your hands on a famous Potbelly Sandwich.
Many Yelp users agree too, giving Potbelly in Rockford a three and a half star overall review of the restaurant. However, Mike S. from Belvidere said "I go back for the soup and a sandwich. I can do without the hipster atmosphere."
If you can deal with all the "hipsters" at Potbelly you can check them out at two locations in the Rockford area. At 1419 West Lane Road in Machesney Park and the other at 6243 East State Street.
