An unrelenting love of food is the other big part. Between those two, we think we pretty much have our burger bases covered. Turns out we also like people, though. We're not making these delicious, one-of-a-kind creations to not share them with our human species brethren. We hope to share them with you, in fact. And soon.

Set right along the path of the old Rockford & Interurban Railway, The Shortline is an ode to an era long gone. The train still rumbles by a mere block away, but the walls tell a new story. Purchased as an office building and reimagined in the summer of 2017, The Shortline is now a place to gather and enjoy. Creativity exudes from the walls of The Shortline. The sixteen foot bar was repurposed from the desk left in the building and the exterior shiplap, reused as interior finishing. The beauty and thoughtfulness of Japanese cuisine seemed like the perfect match for The Shortline. You will find innovative sushi rolls and handcrafted rice dishes. We are thrilled to bring The Shortline Sushi Bar to downtown Belvidere, Illinois. Welcome!

The original Rockford Brewing Company developed the building to establish one of the first breweries in the nation, brewing over 75,000 barrels a year at its peak production. Our shiny, new 15-barrel brewery will be the backdrop to Rockford’s latest destination for handcrafted beer and food. We are proud to bring this wonderful piece of Rockford history back to life and look forward to exceeding expectations.
