“This bar is the place to go! The staff are always so fun and inviting! They've got pool tables, dart boards, a golf machine and the slots are always a good time here! Happy hour and drink specials too! It's just a great neighborhood bar that is enjoyable for everyone. They even allow kids until 9pm and the fur babies are all welcome outside. Oh, the outside, it's amazing to say the least. They did such a good job with the remodel. They've got a huge volleyball court, a bags court with equipment you can use, and the outside bar is fully stocked! Just stop by there and support a local business. You won't regret it!“

“Where do I begin? Welcoming atmosphere, clean restaurant, and attentive service. I'm not a margarita fan, but I thoroughly enjoy my strawberry margarita and would enjoy again! My fiancé ordered salsa and chips for an appetizer and we were both happily surprised with the fresh chips and tasty green salsa! After enjoying our appetizer we both ordered their three taco dinner special for taco Tuesday. My fiancé order steak tacos and I ordered a combination of chicken tinga, chorizo, and their house special campechano. Everything was amazing!!! My fiancé enjoys the spicier salsas and was offered a habenero red salsa. We sampled all three that was received and have nothing but good things to say about them all. Thank you for an amazing dinning experience tonight, can't wait to come back and enjoy a new dish in the near future! ☺️🌮🌯“

“I Highly Recommend it here, so much genuien customer Love and care, The Best of the Best, deserving of a 5X⭐️ AND MORE. 👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇“

“I came to try the meat loaf stack and my wife the steak sandwich. We thought the food was delicious, and the service was great. We arrived a little before 5 on Friday which was a good time because the restaurant filled up quickly after wards. We’ll definitely be coming back.“

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

“I had a Birthday party for my husband here. There were at the least 20 people. I can't tell you how wonderful Bryce our waiter/bartender was awesome! To be slammed with orders, all at once.....he was outstanding!“

“I've had the privilege of stopping by the Squaw Bar on several occasions and have enjoyed every visit. What is refreshing about this establishment is that it's cozy and not over refined like other establishments. This means that one can get to know just who they are enjoying the company of. The Squaw Bar even has the latest technology that blends in well with a good old fashion campfire by the sands. I'm speaking of .SVG TV... no not your regular run of the mill squabbles from all over the globe but a personalized cast of stars that light up the evening sky. Take for example the ale tale of Helen Liz Hunt. It's an October ghost story told at this time in the light of the Hunters Moon. The legend says that Helen walks the .3 mile route from Hunt Ave on a westwards journey. She crosses Helendale Road and arrives at the Squaw Bar in search of dark rye and molasses bread 🍞. Helen pays for her meal in Indian Rupee legal tender and enjoys the Raisins And Honey as the Sultan as played by myself offers her a 🍔 hamburger bear hug.“

“I hired The Hungry Mule in Lake Zurich to cater a luncheon for about 65 people. The owner and staff were easy to work with. Very accommodating. The food was excellent and the service was outstanding. Everyone commented on how delicious everything tasted. I would definitely hireThe Hungry Mule again.“

“Great place to end a day and start the weekend“

“Great place for a big group. My son’s soccer team had a team meal here. The server did a great job and was very attentive. The food was delicious, but my portion was smaller than I expected, so instead of sharing with my wife, we should have ordered two. Others in our group very much enjoyed their food. Great beer list and sports bar type atmosphere.“

“Nice handycap entrance. Nice people and comfortable sitting. Bar stools and chair sitting up at bar. Sitting at tables also for small groups for talking to friends. And always a TV for watching favorite sports. Good drinks at reasonle prices.“

“Really great food. A staple here in Johnsburg.“

“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!“

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

“No body can do like American girl. Enjoy guys“

“Everything was great from service to food. It was our first time there and we definitely will be back.“

“one of my favorite bars ! awesome staff , food, drinks, entertainment, even events !“

“I visit Johnsburg 1-2 times per year and I always work it into my schedule to stop in for a beer which turns into several. Friendly regulars and bartenders. Random people usually give me money to request songs on the jukebox for them which is pretty cool.“

“the foid was good the bartenders friendly, on the spot and gave service with a smile! band was great! dance floor tight tho.“

“Owner is super nice, came by and offered me a free taco from his food truck. Went ahead and gave it a try. Show some love if you ever see him around!“

“Broken Oar is always a great time, especially on a summer Saturday afternoon. The atmosphere is lively, the crowd is fun, and the staff is consistently friendly and attentive.

We came by boat just to grab a few drinks and appetizers. Everything was good, but the churro fries were the standout of the day—absolutely worth ordering and highly recommended.

My only complaint is the docking situation. Getting from the docks to the restaurant requires walking through muddy, sandy terrain, which isn't ideal. More importantly, the docks sit very high above the water, and the exposed metal underneath ended up scratching our boat. If you have a typical recreational boat, I'd honestly think twice about arriving by water, as there's a real risk of cosmetic damage.

Despite that, the food, drinks, service, and overall atmosphere keep us coming back. We'll definitely be back—just probably by car next time.“

“Stopped in for Taco Tuesday and it did not disappoint. Huge tacos with nice spicy ground beef. Was really sorry to hear husband George was killed in a car accident 4 months ago. Support This Local Business!“

“Hi. I would like to say thank you to Jacki at the Crystal lake location. She was so kind and showed empathy when I was there on Thursday 8/1/2024. It’s been a difficult week and my mom had passed away that morning. That was my first meal in about a week. She was so kind to pay for our meals. Thank you so much. I would like for that owner to know this and we will be returning back soon! 10/23/2024- we had Maya as our server today. She is also another wonderful asset to your team! Thank you for the Bingo night!“

“Benjamin Parada and I ate dinner at Wings Etc. tonight! We pulled up to the building and called the number listed clearly on the signs, with an employee's assistance our "take out" order was placed! Ben and I talked in the car just as we would have when we were inside the restaurant. However, sitting in the car and wearing a mask felt so much safer than being in the restaurant! Our food was out to our car very quickly. Wonderful delicious and amazing are words to describe the good wings! Date nights look so different with Covid but this was a super safe and fun date night!“

“Great people great service“

“The food is amazing! Reminds me of my Grandma's home cooking! The portions are worth the $!“

“Great times celebration of my wife’s Milestone birthday!!!“
