32 Best Bar & Grill near Crystal Lake

“Wasn’t sure what to expect for a place just off the side of the road- but I was pleasantly surprised. This place has the largest variety of whiskey in the area. Highly recommend it for a night cap or just a drink with your SO. The staff is very friendly, as are the patrons. They also have a wall for gaming- if you enjoy gaming- and plenty of televisions.“

“We were in the area after visiting the Trading Post, we noticed the sign for fish fry on Fridays, stopped in around 1pm and was warmly greeted by the bartender, a lot of regulars were inside but she did not ignore us and took our drink and then our fish order. Food came quickly and was delicious! I had the fish tacos. We really felt welcomed and we were satisfied with the whole experience.“

“I was there for a fundraiser last night. The food was really good, especially your salsa! Our server was attentive and kept track of our large group really well. We hadn't been there for a long time but will definitely be back again! Thank you so much.“

“love this place. great service and drinks. the food is well priced and delicious“

“I've ordered here and have sat in. I recommend sitting in over ordering online because the take out portions for sides is ridiculous. Not once, but three times I tried ordering wings with fries and the amount of fries I got were about 15 average each time. That ridiculous. That's why it's a 3 star for service.

Eating in, love the food, love the bar deals, and really enjoy the interior of this location. There is a divider in the middle to separate families dining in and people hanging at the bar. Regardless, everyone is friendly and inviting.

The wings are average, but the sauces are fantastic! I was also surprised by how good the nachos were.

Don't order out with fries, but do sit in!“

“1st time there, will definitely go back. The food smelled really good when we walked in. We were seated by the window which was nice. Lots of TVs everywhere, which are high up, (you can still have a conversation with people). We had the crab cake sliders which were different & good. I had the maple pulled pork bowl which had cheese, onion strings on top & seasoned potatoes. Nice menu to choose from. Can't wait to go back & try something else off the menu!“

“If you want a romantic date night, this isn't it. But if you want some of the best pizza in Illinois, huge burgers, great prices and friendly staff then give them a shot. You will never regret getting a pizza here I can promise you that. Been around forever, picnic tables outside by the Fox River and a great spot to relax along nw hwy. Love the Dead End“

“There were 9 of us and we made reservations for 5 and were seated at 4…the waitress was fantastic…always was there when needed and the food was cooked just perfect.. the whole experience was wonderful…thank you all… Happy New Year!!!“

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

“Thank you Carrie and Sue for serving us and thank you! Freddy for the free raffles and the dollar tacos for the Bears game on Sundays. All their food is outstanding. Highly recommend trying them out, especially their fish fry on Friday nights.“

“The atmosphere is great, the food is amazing will be back for sure. I met the owner super cool guy and the bartender remembered my name! They are starting to have more music events which I'm very excited about.“

“First time customers. Had the southwest chicken sandwich it was great! While we were there they started singo. We decided to stay and play and had a lot of fun! Everyone was very nice and the bartender was very attentive! Prices were very reasonable and comparable to other places. I saw other reviews about the pricing being outrageous and I didn't think they were any higher priced than any other bar and grill. There are plenty others that are higher priced and for smaller portions. Perhaps those people don't frequent the grocery store! Also noticed that there were small games there to play which is nice for people that have kids while they are waiting for their food! Would definitely go back again!“

“If you want to sit by the water and enjoy a nice night out and great snack food (Italian Beef bites) and burgers, I recommend The Longshot. Go see Lisa on Friday night and tell her Krista and Lori sent you!“

“I love Pub 47!! the staff is extremely friendly and professional. the make you feel like you are a regular even if it is your first visit. Every visit has been wonderful. The food portions are great and the pricing is fair. 10 out if 10 stars.“
