“Great gyro platter, enough for me and my HUNGRY boyfriend to share! Very friendly and courteous staff, highly recommend.“

“My last visits to this Tommy’s Red Hots on Friday, August 1st, 2025 was pretty much good. The second time I went in to eat my dinner. They were running a bit behind on making food but overall the experience was fine. The pizza is always delicious. The staff is so polite and respectful here. (Written 8-10-25)“

“reasonable for the pasta!“

“Great food here. Only reason I gave 4 stars is I'm strict when it comes to Chicago Beef sandwiches. They have to be spot on, this place surprised ne actually, very close to the best, I usually give 3 stars if it's not like original so these guys were better than all that. Try one and the fries here are amazing!“

“Alexes Vienna Beef and Kronos Gyros always has a nice friendly man take your order at the register and the french fries and the Gyros and Char broiled Hamburger is the best I have ever tasted in Mc Henry County Alex's thanks all you nice friendly men who work there I would highly recommend this place to stop at and eat lunch or dinner you will not be dissappointed and the food is fantastic and he gives the customer the best bang for his buck !“

“They have outstanding sandwiches. #18 is our favorite and is great as a salad, too, but you really can't go wrong. Everything is consistently delicious, high quality, and priced well!“

“very clean, great menu, personal service. highly recommend if you're in the area to stop by for dinner at lunch and they do serve cocktails“

“Best wings in the area. They are large good flavor and always well cooked.
The appetizers are also quite good. I have never been disappointed in Offsides. The waitstaff is very attentive and beer is cold. I have no complaints, just 1 suggestion, and I hope ownership sees this. A dry rub for your wings would be phenomenal.“

“great subs..no skimping on their subs...bread crumby but good flavor...great prices.. we'll be back!!“

“ordered 2 chicago style hot dogs, Italian beef combo w/ mozzarella cheese and Giardiniera, jalapeño poppers and onion rings. $33.00 ☹️ the combo had barely any beef or Giardiniera on it. the onion rings were a big clump of a soggy greasy mess. the poppers were soggy too. They were not edible, threw them away. I don't know what happened, they used to be really good.“

“I'm giving it a five based on multiple experiences. My experience in 2025 wasn't so great, the sauce which used to come in a container they filled that day now came in a pre-packaged container with a foil lid. This may seem inconsequential, but it seemed to taste older it even had a slightly different color.“

“The food , portion sizes , and prices are great but the chairs are unpadded and feel like sitting on cold concrete. On a cold day it's just as cold in the dine in area. as it is outside. Please turn up the heat out of consideration for the senior customers.“

“Ordered a hot dog, Italian beef, fries and a drink. The beef and fries were great. The hot dog was pretty good. Only negative is the prices which are up there. The order was $26. It wasn't that long ago that my wife and I could go to a casual sit down restaurant and get 2 full dinners for $30.“

“Good location. My first time here. The food was hot and fresh. The service was quick and efficient. Ilthe atmosphere was cool and calm. Very enjoyable. The staff was friendly and the food tasted great. We will patronize this location again if in the area.

Parking: They have a large lot to accommodate many vehicles.

Wheelchair accessibility: They have a ramp and easily accessible doors and tables.“

“They've always had such great pizza. Been coming here since I was young and its still as good as I remember it- sauce with a good amount of herbs and flavor, pretty standard cheese and a chewy flavorful crust. They got rid of the lower patio, which sucks, but its still a good slice. I dont go anywhere else for pizza in McHenry. Bring cash, they have a deal for people who dont use cards.“

“Finally. After all this time, I finally found them. THE PERFECT FRIES. Your search can be over too of you come to beef shack.

They were pretty busy when I went but very friendly, clean, and dang they are slinging some great food.“

“We enjoy the food every time! Staff is always nice! Restaurant is always clean!

Recently tried their pizza and man! It’s good! Now this is one of our two go to places for pizza in Woodstock! Definitely better than other places!“
