Smoking Harry's

Reviews & Tips

  First of all, you have to appreciate Smoking Harrys' as an "Old School" dive bar. This place is classic. Smokin' Harry is your bar host and his son tends to the grill area. I was here to test the acclaimed burger, voted best burger in the Rockford area. After a couple of PBR's the GF and I ordered a cheesburger with everthing. It arrived BIG with melted american cheese, sweet onion, lettuce and tomato. Tender, moist and steaming hot. Absolutely delicious! Be prepared for a unique experience. Try it!

  Smoking Harry's actually features Smoking Harry! He smokes behind the bar, which is illegal in Illinois. This place still has Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, and Dennis Rodman prominently displayed on the walls and doesn't appear to have had any aesthetic updates for years. I didn't dare eat there, so I got carry-out. The burger was a half-pound and was pretty good, but it cost almost 6 bucks without any fries. You can get a better burger elswhere with fries and a drink for the same price. Avoid Smoking Harry's, unless you like sitting in an old bar drinking cans of Miller Lite with a bunch of middle-age men from rural Illinois. Bonus comment from Smoking Harry: "You want me to put mayo on a burger? The guys will shoot me!"
