Whiskey Barrel — Restaurant in Rock Falls

Parking is on-street parking on 2 sides of the rather large building. There is one handicap parking spot with half the parking spots having a large step to get from the street to the sidewalk. The building has no steps to enter the building, but you may need help opening the door if using an assistive device. The building was very clean and had many seating options with a large bar in the center and an outdoor area for when the weather is fitting. They have multiple tv's placed all around the building some showing sports others playing music videos. The music playing was a little loud to chat over the lunch hour however it is a bar. The server was friendly and even though she appeared to be stretched pretty thin she tried very hard to keep up. The menu is varied with many options including but not limited to sandwiches, burritos, appetizers, and many flavors of wings. The food we ordered was all very good and served hot and fresh in a timely manner. We ordered a couple of different flavors of wings which were saucy so it might have been a good thing had they provided wetnaps of some type. The chimichanga was so large I was unable to eat it all. The pulled pork sandwich was a large portion and came with a side. The onion rings were also a hit with all who tried them. The prices were good and it was easy to pay using the QR code on the receipt which I...

Giving one star because I liked the bar itself, however service was terrible. I was asked three times if my bill was separate from my friends and after I received my menu I had to wait for the bartender to get back to me twenty minutes later. The place was not that busy. The bartender wanted to bill me for my drink and my food separately and then gave me the bill for both my food and drink before my food was even served. What if I wanted another drink while I ate my nachos? She was also very short and seemed bothered that we were there when she was taking our drink and food orders, just didn't seem very friendly at all. There were only 19 total people in the bar, most already set up and fine on drinks. If I hadn't previously been in service myself I probably wouldn't be so irritated. But on a Sunday when the people only come in a few at a time, the service should be much better and much more pleasant. My group only had 5 people all with drinks and only 2 of...

Ordered the raging bull burrito and there were 2 hairs in it. Asked for it to be remade and they gave me the same burrito. All they did was put it on the stove to make it appear like it was freshly made, didn’t even bother to remove the hair so they were both still there in the exact same spot as before. They did remake it after the second time we told them but honestly I was just grossed out afterwards so I only took a couple bites. Be aware they don’t care back in the kitchen and don’t wear hair nets. The bartender/server was nice though, he apologized but it’s not his fault it’s the people in the back who don’t care what they put out and how it reflects...
