On a scale from 1 to 5 Stockholm rates a 10 with me!!!! FIRST of all you haven't seen these prices ANYWHERE, EVEN BEFORE COVID!!! Let me start by saying this I, was totally FLABBERGASTED when I seen the size of my GLUTEN-FREE PANCAKES, yes not only do they offer a number of gluten-free options, you just have to ask for them because you will not see them on the menu, but all of their foods was in very good proportion sizes!!! During a time when everybody is giving you less, and making you pay more, that's not true here at Stockholm inn!!! So come in an empty stomach, and wobble your way out especially on the weekends, and bring the whole family!!! They have an ALL YOU CAN EAT BUFFET!!! Oh my goodness even though it's a small buffet, you will be pleased with the options, and you will also be very satisfied with the service even on the weekends when they are bombarded because of the buffet the staff is so very nice and accommodating I have no problem with giving them a 25% tip!!! I can't say much about the atmosphere because all I saw was food and people!!! I was too busy looking at other people's plates, and all the food that they had on them!!! So much deliciousness that my eyes were taking in, and again the prices are very affordable, and not just on weekdays!!! If you choose to eat from the menu on the weekends you have plenty of affordable options!!! Once you see that buffet tho, you will not choose the menu, I thought I HAD TO CHOOSE FROM THE MENU until I found out from one of the wonderful waitresses, I can eat what I want from the buffet LIKE THE BACON, SAUSAGE, EGGS, ECT. and ask for the GLUTEN FREE BUTTERMILK PANCAKES TO BE COOKED! When the waitress brought out my gluten free pancakes they totally covered my plate!!! I couldn't believe I had these two huge pancakes sitting on this plate and thought I was going to ask for more because they were so good!!! They were not falling apart, and they were well cooked!!! They also have gluten-free swedish pancakes!!! 💝💝💝

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, it's 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 won't be upset and the food is very tasty. The price and the experience should synch the deal, though that's only true on the weekend special prices. Otherwise I don't know that there are enough reasons to go unless you have a craving or are passing through and really can't go on the weekend. Will I be back again? Sure. Back again next weekend? No.

I just left Stockholm. When we walked in, the ladies at the front counter just looked at us. We waited, then I finally asked a server who had wandered up if we should seat ourselves. This server was so rude and the opposite of customer service oriented. She shortly said “no you have to wait.” Then turned and just started chatting at one of the other ladies at the counter completely ignoring us. The bad attitudes of the employees here are the very worst part and stands out the most when you’re there. They do not care that you pay them and keep their business alive. When we finally were seated we waited for 10 minutes to get water. We asked for silverware and the server brought one set for a table of four. I had to get up and get three more sets on my own. The food was mediocre. Nothing like it used to be. For a place that is famous for Swedish pancakes they weren’t actually good. The dining room is dated and seems slightly dirty everywhere. It was not a good experience. Years ago l would have recommended this place, not as it is today.

So...we can't 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!

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. Update 2/9/2023 I had some training to do at a place in the same strip mall and decided to give this place another try. I ordered a BLT sandwich and it seems like they put all the left over bacon from breakfast in my sandwich. You can see in the pictures all the little pieces of bacon that fell off my sandwich. The fries tasted like freezer burn and weren’t crispy at all as if they were put in the microwave. I hate to be a Karen, but this place is supposed to be one of the better family restaurants in town. Maybe it’s just their breakfast.

I love introducing this place to new people, especially when there’s the breakfast buffet. $15 for all you can eat Swedish pancakes and much more. Definitely top those pancakes with the lingonberries!
