Hawaiian-Asian Fusion Coming Soon to Downtown Beloit 🌺🍣

Hawaiian-Asian Fusion Coming Soon to Downtown Beloit 🌺🍣

Downtown Beloit’s food scene is about to get a fresh new flavor. Poke Green, a Hawaiian-Asian fusion restaurant known for its customizable poke bowls, is opening its first Wisconsin location right on State Street.The concept started in Rockford in late 2023, quickly winning fans for its made-to-order bowls featuring sushi-grade salmon and tuna, locally sourced produce, and bold flavors — all prepared in under five minutes. After adding a second Rockford location this fall, Beloit will be home to the chain’s third spot.Poke Green will move into one of the newly renovated retail spaces at 311 and 317 State Street, a project led by Hendricks Commercial Properties. The first floors are being transformed into multiple storefronts, while the upper levels have already been converted into loft-style apartments that filled up fast.There’s no exact opening date yet, but construction is on track for the space to be ready for build-out in August, with an opening expected before the end of the year.Downtown Beloit has been gaining momentum with new shops, restaurants, and events — and Poke Green’s fresh, colorful bowls will be a welcome addition for anyone craving something quick, healthy, and full of flavor.

Back in Clinton for Mole Enchiladas and Spicy Salsa at La Guacamaya

Back in Clinton for Mole Enchiladas and Spicy Salsa at La Guacamaya

I was recently back in Clinton and couldn’t help myself. I had to stop by La Guacamaya again. It had been a little while since my last visit, but the moment I walked through the door, everything felt just as good as I remembered.This time I ordered the mole enchiladas and, as always, added a side of their spicy salsa. The flavor of the mole is rich and deep, with just the right amount of sweetness and spice. The salsa still brings the heat in the best way possible. It’s the kind of combo that hits every time.La Guacamaya still has that same cozy and welcoming vibe. The kind of spot where the food is homemade and the people treat you like family. You can feel the care in everything they do.Isaac, Amanda, and Leo have created something special here. Every visit reminds me why this place stands out. It’s not just about the food, it’s about the experience. From the way you’re greeted to the way each dish is served, it all feels personal.If you’re anywhere near Clinton and craving real, flavorful Mexican food, La Guacamaya is worth the stop. It’s one of those spots you try once and instantly add to your regular rotation.

Celebrating 47 Years of Flavor at The Captain’s Galley in South Beloit

Celebrating 47 Years of Flavor at The Captain’s Galley in South Beloit

There’s something special about a restaurant that’s been around for nearly five decades. It says a lot, not just about the food, but about the people, the consistency, and the love poured into every single sandwich. That’s exactly what you get at The Captain’s Galley in South Beloit.This place has been a staple in the community since 1978, serving up some of the most flavorful sub sandwiches in the area. It’s not a chain, not a franchise, just a good old-fashioned local spot that’s built a loyal following the right way. And recently, The Captain’s Galley hit a huge milestone, 47 years in business. That’s something you don’t see often.If you’ve never been, you’re missing out on a true Stateline gem.Home of the Juicy Italian BeefPersonally, I love coming here because there just aren’t many places that can compete with their Italian beef sub. The beef is juicy, tender, and packed with flavor in every bite. I always go for cheese, a side of extra peppers, and, this is key, a little cup of what the regulars call “beef juice.” You know the one. It’s the good stuff that takes your sandwich to the next level.It’s clear that this isn’t just a sandwich to them. It’s a craft. The bread is always fresh, the toppings generous, and you can tell the ingredients are handled with care. That’s probably because the owner is often behind the counter, making the subs himself. It’s that kind of hands-on dedication that gives this place its soul.A Local Favorite with a Loyal FollowingYou don’t stick around for 47 years without doing a lot of things right. The Captain’s Galley is more than just a spot to grab lunch, it’s a community favorite. You’ll see regulars walking in like clockwork, greeted by name. The service is quick and friendly, the portions are generous, and the quality is always consistent.Even online, the reviews speak for themselves. Whether it’s someone raving about their hot subs, praising the fresh bread, or calling it their “go-to lunch spot,” the love is real. And it’s well deserved.Why This Place MattersIn a time when so many local spots come and go, The Captain’s Galley has stayed true to what it does best, serving up delicious food with a personal touch. It’s proof that you don’t need to reinvent the wheel, just make great sandwiches, treat your customers like family, and show up every day with pride in your work.So if you’ve never been, make the trip. And if you’re already a fan, you know exactly what I’m talking about. Places like The Captain’s Galley are the heart of our local food scene, and I hope they’re around for another 47 years.📍 The Captain’s Galley 305 Oak Grove Ave, South Beloit, ILGo hungry, and don’t forget the beef juice.

TJs Gourmet Snacks Foods – A Local Favorite with Big Flavor

TJs Gourmet Snacks Foods – A Local Favorite with Big FlavorFresh, crunchy, and full of flavor. That is what you get every time you open a bag from TJs Gourmet Snacks Foods. This local business is run by Vergil, Mike, and Michelle, and it all started with a conversation and a love for a classic snack.When Vergil first met Mr B, the two talked about his pork snack business, which was being made in the back of Mr B’s restaurant. Years later, when Mr B decided to sell, Vergil jumped at the chance to work with a friend and carry on a business he loved. Even more special, this meant continuing the legacy of a mid 90s Black owned business.TJs Gourmet Snacks Foods makes pork rinds, cracklings, and their own seasoning blend. Everything is produced by hand and sold at local stores and gas stations from Milwaukee to Rockford. One of the most popular places to find them is Woodmans, or you can stop by Mr B’s to get them as fresh as possible.I had the chance to visit their location inside Mr B’s and watch them make pork rinds from scratch for the first time. It was a really cool experience, especially because I have always enjoyed these snacks. Every bite is packed with flavor and they even have smaller bags that are perfect for on the go.Whether you are looking for a fresh local snack to enjoy at home, on the road, or at your next gathering, TJs Gourmet Snacks Foods delivers flavor that keeps you coming back. You can find them in stores, at Mr B’s, or order online for the same great taste shipped right to you.

Breakfast, Community, and Conversation at Mr. B’s in Beloit

There’s something about a good breakfast spot that just sets the tone for your day. And if you’re in Beloit, one place that gets it right is Mr. B’s. Tucked into a cozy corner on Liberty Avenue, this local favorite has been around since the mid-90s, quietly building a loyal following of regulars, out-of-towners, and folks just passing through who were lucky enough to hear about it.I stopped by recently because, honestly, I just love a solid breakfast. I kept it classic—coffee, pancakes, eggs, and turkey bacon, and it hit the spot. The food is everything you want from a breakfast joint: no frills, well-cooked, and super affordable. But Mr. B’s is more than what’s on your plate.It’s the kind of place where you can walk in and immediately feel like you belong. The walls are covered in signed dollar bills and a giant world map that shows just how far people have come to find this little diner. And yes, you can meet Mr. B himself; he’s often there, chatting with customers, checking in, and just being part of the energy that makes this place feel alive.That’s the real charm. People talk here. Strangers say good morning, locals catch up over coffee, and conversations spill from one table to the next. It’s like everyone’s part of the same breakfast club. And if you’ve got room for something sweet, they’ve also got Cedar Crest ice cream and fresh bakery items, making it a great spot to stop by any time before lunch.Mr. B’s may be small, but its impact is big. It’s local, it’s welcoming, and it’s got that timeless diner vibe that’s hard to come by these days. So if you haven’t been, go. If you have, you probably already know what I’m talking about.Let me know if you want to add quotes from Mr. B or feature customer stories in future posts.

The Fire Barn in Durand: Local Flavor, Big Heart, and a Whole Lot of Community Pride

When you walk into The Fire Barn in downtown Durand, you feel it — the energy, the history, and the pride that fuels everything happening here. This isn't just a restaurant. It’s a local comeback story, a neighborhood hangout, and a celebration of small-town spirit.I met with Mike, Sean, and Jolynn, the owners behind the vision, and it’s clear they’re not just running a business — they’re continuing a legacy. Mike especially has deep roots in Durand. He’s always loved the area and dreamed of seeing this location — right next to his Anytime Fitness — thrive. When the opportunity came up to open something new here, he knew he had to be a part of it. The goal? Bring great food, strong drinks, and even better service to a town they care about deeply.The Fire Barn is everything you want in a bar and grill. It's relaxed, welcoming, and packed with personality. You’ll find American comfort food done right — think juicy smash burgers, fresh wraps, signature salads, and wings that hit the spot. Their Barn Burger is the real showstopper. Three smashed patties, grilled onions, and that irresistible barn sauce — it’s bold, flavorful, and just messy enough to remind you it’s the real deal.The drink menu holds its own too. With 8 beers on draft and plenty more to choose from, there’s something for everyone. But I’ve got to give a special shout-out to the spicy watermelon margarita. On a hot summer day, that drink is pure magic — refreshing with just the right kick.Step into the back barn and you’ll find something special. A cozy patio with seating for about 20, but more than that, a space that honors Durand’s past. Photos, jerseys, and memorabilia from local athletes, coaches, and teams line the walls — Pecatonica, DuPec, Durand — it’s all here. There’s a sense of pride in these walls, a reminder of the town’s talent and history. And the owners are still collecting — they’ve put out a call for photos of athletes from the last 30 years, so the legacy keeps growing.Starting July 28, they’re also kicking off their Durand-Ruel Charms Queen of Hearts Jackpot — a chance to win big while giving back to local programs and charities. It’s fun, it’s exciting, and it’s another way The Fire Barn is putting community first.Behind the scenes, you’ve got years of hospitality experience making this place run smoothly. From Eddie and Vic cooking it up in the kitchen to Heather holding it down behind the bar, everyone here is committed to creating a great experience — friendly faces, fast service, and food that keeps you coming back.Whether you’re here for the game (they’ve got over 23 HD screens), the drinks, or just a laid-back dinner with friends, The Fire Barn delivers. It’s more than a restaurant — it’s a gathering place, a tribute to local roots, and a great example of what happens when people invest in their community.You can check out the menu, order online, or plan your visit at thefirebarn.com.Welcome back to The Fire Barn — Durand’s new favorite hangout.
