There are a number of eateries in the State Line trading under the Tom & Jerry (as in the cartoon characters) banner. I don't know who has rights to the theming. The restaurants do not comprise a chain, nor are they under common ownership. In addition to the now-closed Sycamore restaurant, there are others in Belvidere, Loves Park, Machesney Park, and Rockford that appear to be affiliated, and there was once another in DeKalb.
The menu at each is what you'd expect of a Chicago area fast casual eatery: Gyros, Burgers, Ribs, Hot Dogs, Italian Beef and Chicken, with other offerings. The DeKalb and Sycamore locations served as useful third places as the managers let patrons linger and some of the regulars knew each other and caught up on things there.
