Shooter's Bar Grill — Restaurant in Rockford Township

Went to cousins birthday party. Was only stopping by for about 10-15 mins, long enough to give well wishes, have a slice of cake, say our goodbyes and leave. We didn't have a sitter so we brought our child with, who's about 7 months old. She was harnessed to my chest and was asleep. An older chubby guy who claimed to be the owner (he isn't) in a hideous 2 tone shirt who apparently has small man energy decided to approach us and tell us we needed to leave immediately or he would call the police. After I returned to the car with my baby, my wife stayed behind for a couple minutes to go say her goodbyes. The same gentleman stalked her through the place with the bouncer (even though she was on her own without a baby) and proceeded to make comments to her like "what's wrong with you" and "you should know better" and then argued with my wife about our childs age. I understand policies and know there are good reasons why they are in place but I also believe in exceptions. There were also other children present which he didn't seem to have a problem with so we feel DISCRIMINATED against. We were only trying to stop in for a few minutes to again give our happy birthday wishes have a slice of cake and leave. I wasn't going to drink as I had a child strapped to my chest, and neither was my wife since she's 4 months pregnant. Did the guy think the baby was gonna wake up out of a dead sleep and sip on a handle of Tito's or something? Definitely unprofessional and doesn't promote a good atmosphere. That being said I will also be reporting this to the better business bureau and also calling and talking to the owner of the establishment directly. Sure its a bar but also a grill and most of these places don't have issues like that until after 10-11pm and it was barely 9 when stopped in. Absolutely ridiculous. Will never spend a dime there again. Update: The man's name was...

I'll concur with the other reviews regarding this particular establishment in that if you seat yourself, you won't be politely greeted or served... and with this obtuse demonstration for the lack of adequate customer service skills, and in the last few times I have made an appearance at this establishment; none of those times have I seen any more than 10 customers seated anywhere within the confines of this establishment and quite possibly for this very reason.

As per my recommendations for where to go to spend your free time and your hard-earned money... well, there's plenty of other places in the immediate area to patronize that would be more than happy to earn and win over the privilege of serving you with a decent menu offering and beverage selection in addition to remarkably superior customer service skills.

My money is definitely better off spent some place else who actually appreciates me as being a paid customer.

With this said, it also has become clear to me that this establishment is also not military veteran friendly, as the staff here acts as if you...

In April, I went for Monday karaoke, supposed to start at 7 pm. The fellow running it arrived closer to 7:30, then played recordings. The first karaoke singer was after 8:15pm. Then he played more recorded songs. I’d been there for 1 1/2 hrs before my first song at 8:30. Then more recordings when he would disappear each time. Then the third singer. There weren’t a lot of singers, so each of us could have sung all that we wanted; we had requests in. The guy was personable enough when he interacted, but didn’t cater to singers on karaoke night. He kept repeating that karaoke is ea. Monday, 7-10pm. Then he was closing down approaching 9:30. I was there 3 hrs and sang only 3 songs, enjoyed others’ song choices when they sang. All the recordings I could listen to on the radio. I went out for karaoke. I’ve found places to sing many more songs, even with more singers in the rotation. It’s been months, I haven’t been back. Maybe it’s run better now; or maybe my...
