The 16 Rockford Area Menu Items We Miss Most

Don't you hate when you go out to a Rockford area restaurant and your favorite item on their menu is gone? These are the ones that upset us most.

Discontinued Menu Items

It's always sad when we have to say goodbye to the things we love. When we first discover that our favorite item just got removed from the menu, it's an immediate bad feeling.

Fast food restaurants do it all the time, by removing the item temporarily to see just how much we loved it. If we make enough noise about its removal, they bring it back. And, at the end of this list, I'll share which favorite Rockford fast food place brought back the items you've been missing most.

Other times, removing the menu item was the plan all along. McDonald's and other fast food places do this all the time.

Every once in a while they remove an item and it NEVER comes back. That's the original question we asked.
