Keebler Kitchen is a new restaurant located on Forest Hills Rd. near Pepper Rd. in Rockford. We serve the best in Soul food and comfort food.
Brothers Ruben Randle and Jesse Stapleton opened Keebler Kitchen, 5811 Forest Hills Road, on Monday. Their restaurant occupies the space that was previously Taqueria Azteca Express. It has dine-in, carryout and drive-thru options.
“We want to start getting to know every last one of our customers by name, so that we always have that relationship with them,” said Stapleton, whose childhood nickname is now the restaurant’s name.
They hope customers will come to know them for their Sunday specials, a mix-and-match deal that comes with your choice of various meats and sides. You can get barbecue rib tips, barbecue or jerk chicken, pot roast or turkey legs with sides that include collard greens, cabbage, yams, dressing, cheesy potatoes, macaroni and cheese and spaghetti. They also plan to mix in oxtails and lamb chops on occasion.
“We want our Sundays to be our busiest day of the week,” Randle said.
