50 Best American Restaurants near Fox Lake

“This is my go to lunch spot. Great food, service and pricing!“

“While in town for a funeral we stopped to have dinner with the family. Later that evening we realize a wallet had been lost. In addition to being 40 minutes away that night we live 5 hours away and this was a major inconvenience. The next morning on the way to the funeral home I made contact with the restaurant and asked that they check around for the wallet. After several IMMEDIATELY RETURNED messages, they found it! Of course this was a huge relief. In addition to being impressed with the quick response, concern and empathy for our situation…the dining experience was amazing. Great views. Comfortable seating for our large party and REALLY good food. Chrissy if you’re reading this, you are the reason I’ll be back again. 😍“

“First time here even tho I’ve lived 5 minutes away for 27 years! Hidden gem! Great service. Great bartenders. Will definitely be back. Rib tips were absolutely delish. Wings were good too.“

“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!“

“Love the food, love the staff. Always served with a smile. Best place around!!“

“Exceptionally excellent food and peeps!!!“

“Had the opportunty to stop in at the hidden Max-Boyd-s Hideout in Antioch recently, interesting place, decor and experience.

Located in Antioch, but off the beaten path, literally. a few blocks off of Grass Lake Road is the Hideout, not far away from any of the Chain of Lakes.

Weathered and worn, like a old leather jacket, if you are looking for an old school tavern style place, you should stop in.

Bring cash only, or use their ATM, indulge in their beer or drink selection while seated at the bar, table or play a Slot machine.

I enjoyed the grilled chicken sandwich-fries or chips, which was delicious and flavorful.
I see they have ribs, burgers, fish frys and prime rib selections as well available.

The prohibition, Al Capone theme is a nice touch as well. Test your sense of adventure and stop in.“

“Gotta get those jalapeño poppers and a burger!!!!!! So so so good!“

“Gaming, food, service and atmosphere is second to none. Food is hot, drinks are cold, and so relaxing to be there. Ownership treats us like family. Come and see what I’m talking about it.

Parking: Front and side parking. Lots of lighting.

Wheelchair accessibility: West front side of building.“

“I stopped in to lulu’s tonight for dinner and let me tell you the food is so good! I got an Italian beef which was very filling and delicious! The wife got the Italian on focaccia and this thing was great! Kenzie was very friendly and very helpful ordering. Overall this place is truly a hidden gem! If you haven’t stopped in I highly recommend you take a trip. You won’t be disappointed!“

“Wow best Chicago hot dog I have ever had, service was great. My new go to place.“

“😀Great food, however, the “build your own burger“was a disappointment. The onions tasted bitter and very salty. I got the worst case of heartburn from this burger! OMG. Otherwise, everything else is top quality! Be careful when ordering this “build your own burger.”🍔 I’ve never tasted onions so bad, and seem to be imbedded into the meat that tasted so bitter and awful salty. Too bad because in my opinion, all other dishes are superb! Susan Lee Dzialo“

“Love this place! Right next to my work.“

“They just completed my mom's after funeral party.. the food was fantastic, the service was fantastic.. They knocked it out of the park... We saw the message on the Electronic sign... that was great... THANK YOU !!!!“

“We love your fish boil! We came in last weekend and also enjoyed the new onion jam burger, had a great old fashioned and the service was great. We also stopped at the ice cream parlor and although the staff was busy they made sure to acknowledge us and were friendly & fast!“

“We have been going there for the last five years bragging about the hamburgers. Went there today order the hamburger it came out. Almost fully well done very poor quality. One asked If I could have gotten it rare was told menu says medium well. Meat was of a quality as if it was cooked earlier this week. Definitely will not be going back for hamburgers. Was told by the waitress No one will ask you how you want it done it says on the menu. We used to consider it best burger in town.“

“Dog friendly. Lots of dogs. Good food. Great covered area. Sturdy chairs. Friendly dog lover waitresses“

“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.“

“Great service, food and atmosphere“

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

“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.“

“Haven't had/been there in so long. It's been like 6 or 7 years. Possibly like 2018 or 2019. Customer Service went well, Concrete Mixer is so good, Restaurant is cleanliness even the floors and I will be returning! Good job Culvers in Antioch! ❤️“

“We had liver and onions with mashed potatoes and chicken fajitas today. Both were very good. The liver was some of the best we've ever had.“

“I want to begin by saying that we love this place. BUT, the service and food were just horrible. My husband's wings were good but my nachos were terrible. The lack of beef was covered up with lettuce and triple helping of sour cream. I left hungry. We usually stay for more than 1 drink, but I had to get out of there due to a very miserable child screaming for its mother to pay attention to her. Just an overall unpleasant experience.“

“Phenomenal craft cocktails! Everything from my appetizer through desert was worth raving about. Staff was attentive and friendly. I will be a repeat customer for sure!“

“Definitely worth the few extra minutes driving up here from Round Lake. I showed up on Thursday to find out they’ve got an all you can eat taco special 👀 I gotta roll myself out to my car after this. Don’t let the previous rough construction out front fool you, this place is gold. I had the steak and chorizo tacos that were superb. Mango margarita slapped 👏🏻“

“My wife is Celiac so we always need to be extra cautious when we order out. Typically we play it safe with the BOGO Double Butter Burger Deluxe burgers w/o bread but tonite we were feeling like a change of pace so I took a chance a called to what other GF options we had. Olivia was an absolute rock star and knew all the answers to my gluten free questions. She spoke to me on the phone and then assisted with my additional questions once I was onsite to order. A HUGE thanx to Olivia for her patience and expertise and to Culver’s for offering those with Celiac Disease options when they don’t feel like cooking and want a quick bite out!“

“We had fish fry-baked cod, and baked perch, hush puppies, amazing potato salad and coleslaw. Really good! Pleasantly surprised! Good service, too.“

“Colleen our waitress was so amazing great service from her good personality she's one of the best waitresses there“

“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!“

“love this place the wings are good to“

“A HUGE THANK YOU to Cullom Knoll! My family and I appreciated the privacy of our own room and personal server. You made our difficult day a lot easier. Also Janice and Amy, you both were so amazing.💞“

“Been ordering for years , today's pizza was one of the best ones ever . Crust was excellent !“

“It's not much to look at from the outside, but inside has a friendly, hometown diner atmosphere. The prices are probably apt for the area. The servings were surprisingly large, and the food delicious“

“We stopped in for dinner tonight. Sarah H was our server. Sarah was a great server, our food was delicious. It was a beautiful evening to sit outside and we will definitely be back!“
