The Olympic Tavern in Rockford, Winnebago County, United States | A la Carte Restaurants

Welcome to The Olympic Tavern in Rockford, Illinois, United States. The Olympic Tavern was founded in 1945 by Anthony Rotello. Originally serving local businessmen and factory workers a burger and a beer, The Olympic Tavern quickly grew into a full service restaurant and bar in Rockford, Illinois.
Through several renovations, Anthony and his son Thomas grew the business from a 12-stool bar into the 230+ seat restaurant that exists today.
The Olympic Tavern's formula for success is simple, listen to the customer and deliver more than they expect. There's everything from burgers to lobster tails on the menu, a big wine list and HUGE craft beer menu.
The Olympic Tavern offers the best locally produced food available.
Our steaks are all procured from corn-fed Angus and Herford breed cattle from Northern Illinois farms, the heart of corn country. Our meat is inspected for wholesomeness and graded for quality. We only use the very top Choice and Prime grade meats, the top 10% of the cattle grade. Our steak cuts are hand-selected, aged to perfection, and processed according to our house specifications. We hope you'll find that eating a high quality piece of beef is a highly satisfying dining experience.
Our pork is hand selected for high marbling from Duroc and Berkshire bred pork. Hand selected for juiciness and tenderness and procured from local farms.
Draft beer?s flavor is less affected by the packaging process than canned or bottled beer. Beer on tap is unpasteurized and shipped cold to ensure that the beer tastes like the brewer intended. We take great pride in our draft selection and quality, tap lines are professionally cleaned every two weeks to ensure that every beer we pour is fresh.
