“I took my boys here on a Saturday at around 4:30 after a trip to the Volo museum. We were immediately greeted by a friendly, knowledgeable and attentive waitress. The appetizer plate had the best onion rings and these creamy smoky bacon Gouda Mac n cheese bites that were to die for! Pan pizza came out as a deep dish and my teenager loved it. My oldest and I got the rib and broasted chicken combo…. OMG No regrets! The chicken was seasoned well with a delicious, crispy, light breading and the ribs were fall off the bone scrumptious with a perfect smoky/sweet bbq sauce. Do NOT skip the peach cobbler!! The warm, crispy peaches and streusel topping tasted like it was made with love. What a great place and we absolutely love our server. She was engaging and knew the menu. Will definitely return!“

“Great service, food and atmosphere“

“My family of six ate at Culvers in McHenry on Tuesday, Dec 31 about 1:30. We were greeted with a pleasant hello. The lady who took our order got it right and was pleasant.Since were a group of 6, I figured it would take a little longer to get our order. That wasn't the case. Not only did the order come quickly, but is also accurate. That was wonderful! When we were nearing the end of our meal, a gentleman, (Jude, I believe) can around with free samples of the flavor of the day (Mint explosion). Never has that happened at Colvers to me in the many times I eat at different Culvers! What a nice touch! Upon leaving, we got a cheery Thank you, have a great day and happy new year. I wish I lived a little closer because Culvers in McHenry would definitely be my go to place. Thank you for good food and the kindness you all showed.“

“Absolutely delicious. Great staff. Great cocktails“

“Usually great service and people, but you guys missed the mark tonight. The delivery person outside tried to give me at least 3 different orders that weren’t ours, and when we got home the chicken nuggets were missing the sauce, and the chili was missing the toppings and sour cream. Not a great outing tonight.“

“Everything tasted great tonight but for some reason the bun just fell apart...“

“Literally the best theme brunches!!! So much fun with great food!“

“They had trunk or treating for the kids. It was awesome great job guys.“

“We went here to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday; they did an amazing job!! They personalized the menu, which was a really nice surprise, our waitress (Cassie, I think) was appropriately present and very friendly! Food was amazing!!!! Absolutely perfect dinner was capped off with a complimentary birthday dessert. It is a little pricey, but we were not disappointed, at any level. Strongly recommend!“

“fine course well maintained great food“

“The food and cocktails are always fresh and delicious, and the staff is excellent. I've never had a bad experience here. I particularly enjoy the live music, as it really enhances the atmosphere. They have plenty of outdoor space, and even inside, it feels like you're outdoors. I also love the beachy yet classy and vibrant ambiance.“

“So amazing! Waiter, Charles was awesome and so was greeter, Elizabeth Food and drinks were amazing! Ambience also amazing! New favorite restaurant! I can’t say enough good about everything!“

“Pretty good place and service is wonderful.“

“This place is awesome! My husband ordered the cowboy pork chop from the menu - It was perfectly cooked and perfectly seasoned. It was tender, and it was in a fantastic portion. I had the rack of lamb and it was the most tender lamb I have had in years and deliciously seasoned. It was reasonably priced and they provide provided a full meal - Perfectly cooked potatoes/fries and vegetables. Service was fast and the atmosphere is so relaxing, warm and inviting. We look forward to returning soon!“

“The food was good. I ordered 2 grilled chicken sandwiches at around 9pm from the drive through. The order took not even 5 minutes and it was so good. You could tell everything was fresh and of high quality. Also, both the drive through window girl and the gentleman that walked out my order to me were nice. Good job Culver's!“

“Again 10/10 at Little Chef in McHenry for both food and service ❤️ never a bad item or experience there! Today - based on the owner's recommendation - we started with a cupl of their meat and veggie soup that did not make it on the official menu - sorry missed a photo of it - delish! 😍 Pork, chicken and beef in a savory broth chock full of veggies - carrots, celery, onion 🤤 followed that with the egg salad appetizer, one of our absolute favs 🤩 4 toasted rounds of bread with their excellent egg salad 👍 then we tried the new potato pancakes entree for the first time, which came topped with assorted grilled veggies, plus toast, eggs and hollandaise sauce.. we got the eggs scrambled, rye toast buttered, sauce on the side, and requested a side of sour cream. YUM 😋 ended up with the vanilla cake with vanilla frosting - sorry to miss a photo of that too. Awesome! Service was timely, water glasses attentively refilled, as was the coffee too. $31 Note: it was one order of each item as we always split 🤯 We also got 2 bloody Marys and 2 mimosas, plus a Bailey's, kahlua and amaretto mix to add to our coffee as a nightcap from Old Bridge Tavern next door $48 Left with no leftovers and completely satisfied, happy and full.“

“We pulled up in our boat and the staff helped us to tie up our boat.
They sat us down right away.
The wait staff was very friendly.
The Pulled Pork sandwich and the Turkey Wrap along with the Bang Bang Shrimp were delicious. Great food and Great Service 👍 👌 😀“

“Great little place to hang out and grab a burger and chat with local folks“

“The menu doesn't offer a huge selection, but consistent, good quality on the items offered. Wife and I put together a nice sampling of four small plates and were quite happy after fun desert.
Relaxed atmosphere. Ideal for no rush, leisure dining.“

“Fantastic breakfast at Benedict’s Eggs and More! I had the biscuits and gravy and pot roast skillet - and both were to die for! Biscuits seem to be homemade along with the gravy and it was so tasty. Loved the pot roast as well on the skillet. It was tender! Service was incredible from beginning to end - always felt like I had enough coffee and made sure the experience was excellent from beginning to end. Definitely coming back here soon to try more!“

“Great food. Fresh, not overcooked. Nice menu, not too big. Better than Egg Harbor!! Need more locations!“

“We stopped at the location. I had to eat quickly because my blood sugar was under 50 when we ordered and got to the window. I had asked the employee Troy if I could possibly get a small little cup of M&Ms because my blood sugar was very low he ran to get them came back and I thanked him and he said no I just wanna make sure you’re gonna be OK and I appreciated that because most people don’t care the food was amazing and I’m my sugar came back up, but I just wanted to recognize a shout out to Troy. He was an amazing worker.“

“Maybe 2 behind the bar for the weekend? We had a blast and I can handle the wait but respectfully just wanted to throw out the thought.
And the 3 stars on service is definitely not a dig on the bartender/ server but to the owners understaffing.“

“Muy sabroso lo recomiendo“

“Great Fox river supper club with a bar next to their dock. We ate this evening and Rachael was our server. What a great server that added to our delicious food! We highly recommend Kiefs and ask for Rachael as your server. You won't be disappointed!“
