“Went to attend a two day concert event there. Was greeted by the Sargent of Arms and later on by the VP. Great group of bikers. The lodge is very big. The bar is huge, with plenty of seating at and around it. Great food, the smell will definitely hook ya to get a nibbler. Nice size stage and dance floor. Very nice lay out. Never been in there, until this event came up. I would most definitely go back there again. Great people and welcoming. Good times and fun. Give it a whirl, and check it out... Don't think you'll be disappointed by any means. Good show guys ?hope to see ya again. ?✌️“
“This is one of my favorite places to get a burger at local bar. I don't get there as often as I want to but whenever I do, it is great, food, great service, and friendly clientele! If you are rolling through Wilmot stop on by. They are also fantastic community partners.“
“Fun and friendly and welcoming place, full of great activities and the nicest charming bartenders (Jim’s my favorite). Also serves snacks, pizza, and sometimes hotdogs. Best prices around. Open to the public and helps veterans! Why isn’t this place listed under bars of McHenry? Odd.“
“I brought my mom here today and we both had Reshmi Curry with Eggplant-She had it with the chickpea noodles and I had it with rice. They were absolutely delicious, savory meals. We both cleaned our plates. And I’m a child-sized person, so that’s saying something.I certainly can’t complain about the service or the price either. I was also happy to find a restaurant that didn’t have any steps, since my mom uses a walker.“
“Good bar good bartenders. The owner is friendly. They also serve frozen pizzas so there is a bonus for food. Who doesn't want food after some drinks ? Classic dive bar & they also have slots & darts. Great place. I love coming here with my friends. Every time I always have fun. I highly recommend this bar!“
“Stop here a couple times a month. This is 100% dive bar. Overall it’s pretty worn down but kept pretty clean. The locals are friendly and typically interact with others. Food is pretty good and they have daily specials. There seems to be enough parking at least during the day. Bar tenders are friendly and do a good job with the service. Pool table, darts and gambling machines. A few tvs are typically playing some sports.“
“Middle of the afternoon on the weekend. Sunny and 80. Plenty of parking for cars and bikes. Plenty of dock space. It was a little tough getting served at the outside bar. A few tables available with nice views. Made for a ok one and done. Will stop again.“

“Good Fish Fry. Very friendly staff. I opted for the sweet potato tots which were a little over done on the outside but still soft in the middle. A lot of your classic bar food dishes. They offer home made soups daily. It can get a bit loud inside. Overall, a great place to stop by and have a bite to eat!“
“Damn. Just Damn. My wife and I are both chicken wings fans. And hands down, these are some of the best wings I've ever had. Perfect seasoning, healthy chicken, and so much more affordable than the big chains. They are so good I had to order 3 dozen to go. My only complaint is that I don't live closer.I have one warning, if you come by to try these wings, you'll want to order a bucket of them to go.I apologize about the picture. I scarfed two down before I realized I had to tell the world about these. #chickenwings #fromheavan“
“Legendary spot. Sitting outside on a nice summer day here is unmatched. Can eat a ton of great food for insanely low prices, comparatively. Everyone’s extremely friendly and often the service alone makes me want to 2x any bill with the tip.“
“First of all, this is most definitely a six star review, not a five star review. This divine little toasty tavern will knock your socks off in more ways than one. Want hair on your chest? Are you dying to rub elbows with an eclectic bunch of rip roaring fragrant homosapiens? Do you live for an elegant late night frozen pizza? Come on down to where everyone knows your name. PMO is a lifestyle. IYKYK“
“Absolutely love all of the bartenders here! Micaela is so sweet and welcoming! Kristi is the such a great person and love talking to her about our kids and their successes. J is so sweet and always has a tan. And the manager Jen is so great! They have a great staff, who are attentive and fun! Met so many amazing people here and cannot wait to meet more!“
“This is a must stop on the way to Lake Geneva- We always take a group of motorcyclist up here and enjoy their creative brats and sausages. Beer is cold and the place has a friendly vibe!Parking: parking is a trick- and the road going through richmond is packed with trucks going to and from wisconsin. you gotta be patient crossing, and wait as people are always coming and going. cute icecream place across the street.“
“We popped into Strawberry Moon on a Saturday night and had the best time. I enjoyed a dirty martini and the Folie Chardonnay. We also had the cheese and charcuterie plate which was very good. The staff was attentive and fun. We sat at the bar but there is table seating as well. Definitely will be back.“
“When I was 12-13 years old in 1977, 1978 the owner of this establishment at the time, Joe Kidd, would pay me $2/hr to sweep and mop the floors on Saturday and Sunday mornings. On Saturday mornings he would lock me in the bar so he could go out to breakfast with his buddies. So, I would pour myself a tall, frothy mug of Old Style and stare at it for a while before pouring it down the drain. I live in South Carolina now, but in 2016 I took a trip around the country by Amtrak, stopped in Chicago and rented a car to take my wife to visit Wauconda. We came here and I sat at the bar and drank an Old Style beer and pointed out to my wife that the tile was the same as what I swept and mopped in 1977. Thanks for the memories.“
“Using Facebook and good friends to get to places we haven't been. What an awesome spot!! If you haven't you absolutely should. Brian and the team have an awesome vibe and you can feel it in every space of this place. Everyone uses their talents and their personalities to make this more than just another place. Have a drink poured into one of Brian's creations. Watching them work the glass was therapeutic. The outdoor patio is just waiting on the weather. Get a glass to go as many of the creations are available to purchase.Richmond has plenty to offer before and after your visit to this cool spot. Use the powers of Google to get the list. We walked by so many.If you want trails, there are plenty of those too. Glacial Park is one of many you could hit. It was too windy for me this day but I drove through and it was definitely one I am coming back to.Be sure to join them for the grand opening February 24th!Bringing you all the unsolicited travel tips you didn't know you needed, T.“
“Another iconic place that has been there forever...It use to be a pretty rough establishment back in the day. But, hey we're old schoolers and born & raised locals from here. The majority of us go there. We all grew up together or attended school in the area and know each other. Great place to get a brew or mix drink, and reminisce. Lots of old faces in here. If your from here or seeking info about our town... Then you know where to hang out at. Restrooms, Karaoke, Jukebox, Full Service Bar, Pizza and Chips, Dartboards and plenty of seating available. Always something happening. Smoking allowed in front or back areas. We're all friendly folks in here. Stop in for one or more. Welcome to our neighborhood. Fri & Sat. Nights are quite busy. See ya soon. A+.“
“Love the bar, love the service, love the food, and love the view. A blast to stop at if you're out on the boat! Even in off-peak seasons it is very nice. Hi Barb!!!Parking: Easier to find a spot by boat, parking in the marina lot out back next to the beef barge parking.“
“Great place ! Visited after doing business in the fox lake area Real nice down home attitude and very friendly staff and a informative group of locals .Really reasonable drink prices and a great add on restaurant behind the Pub called "Pawneys place "which has great food at great prices Staff was great, music selection great food was great, drinks were very reasonable and the crowd was fun to be around -------Great visit“
“Celebrated my fiancé 30th birthday there and it was the best. Kenny made sure we had everything set days before the party, showed up to the party to help out and make sure everything was great. He would keep up with checking in every so often which was nice to have the owner involved and actually care how it was all going. The bartenders were super awesome and made sure to check on everyone who was in the golf simulator on drinks and food. Overall I’m so thrilled we did his party there. Would 100% recommend lulu’s to anyone who is looking for a nice, clean, laidback vibe and overall fun. Thank you guys for being so awesome!“
“This bar is awesome if you love a good friendly dive. You walk in and everyone knows each other, making it a very warm, welcoming environment. The first time I've been here was a couple years back when my friend had just turned 21 and we got (I'd say one of the best) bloody Mary's. Beers cheap and people are great! The bar tender is also really fun.“
“In response to the 1 star review from Meagan Chevrelette, I was there last night. I watched your children pushing each other around, being unruly and messing with the bowling equipment while you and your adult group was not paying attention. As a customer I was wondering who was going to intervene and correct them. I watched the owner calmy go over and speak to the children and fix the equipment. I would also like to note that the bowing lanes were occupied by 70% children. We specifically go to the bowl because it is both adult and child friendly. Hope you take your review down. That is a bad, inaccurate description of a family friendly place.“
“So many fun times at this bar, the owner Mike is the nicest guy ever..the manager Dennis definitely keeps everyone on there toes unless he is crabby and you catch him on a bad day ?.. it’s definitely a nice neighborhood bar with great people and has the oldest I mean coldest beer in town“
“Good and bad things to cover, so why five stars - rated for what it is and how they perform to those standards. Easy to find and close to other bars for some fun bar hopping! Parking can be a bit tough if you are not familiar with the area. Matt’s is a dive bar vibe with enough TV’s to keep you entertained by the game. Worn but kept pretty clean!! No kitchen . Only a couple of gambling machines. The patrons were mixed between locals and people waiting for the train across the street- everyone was friendly. Kelly O the bartender did a fantastic job. The big win that impressed me was a big crowd came in and the owner jumped in and helped unlike most places where they let the bartender drown and the customers suffer. Great job Matt’s and Kelly O??“
“I was here for a celebration of life. This is the 2nd time here for that reason. I also attended for other parties. The food and drinks are great. The staff is friendly and the service is fast. Great view of the lake. I would definitely recommend for parties.Parking: Small number of parking spaces and not easy to turn around to leave.“

“We love Steve's! Steve and Rita are the best, and so is the bartender Liz! It's one of our favorite places to hang out and play some darts. The backyard in the summer is beautiful, your surrounded by flowers, with a beautiful wooden swing and volleyball court. Definitely should check it out.“
“A great small looking Dive Bar where people can hang around and that is in a real remote isolated part of crystal lake. The bartender gave good service and this place had an overall rule Wisconsin look and I'm surprised Crystal Lake and the Chicago suburbs still has taverns remaining such as this“
“We played a show at the theater next to this place. Had dinner here. WOW!!!! The service was very good and friendly. But the food!! I had a huge burger with bacon, egg, and hashbrowns. It was huge and incredible. Wife had a chicken wrap, she said was incredible as well. The incredible food combined with the small town friendly atmosphere makes this place well worth the stop. I love how they "branded" the bun.“
“Food was amazing. Rueda was awesome. My pickey kid ordered potato skins and house salad and slammed them. Wife got the patty melt.... biggest patty melt I've ever seen. 10 of 10 for food service and hole in the wall Wisconsin bars... will return many times.“
“Kiefs reef is a fun clean and friendly establishment. My family and I often come here and are treated like family. The service is amazing the food is great and the atmosphere is very inviting. The waitresses and staff are wonderful. Couldnt ask for a better home town bar and restaurant.“
“Well, been passing by this place forever and this time we decided to stop in. Very sparse parking so we asked where to park and immediately the female bartender came outside and pointed to a few locations. She must have been an owner because it is rare and doubtful an employee would be so accommodating. Moving on..... We were seated, by the very nice and conscientious female bartender. She asked for our drink order and gave us menus........ So far so good......The food..... Corn Beef and Cabbage Dinner-Outstanding Monster Burger-Incredible Ruben-Great Patty Melt- Delicious Absolutely excellent all around. Not a single negative comment from anyone in our party. Oh, yeah! There was a gentleman talking to some people at the bar and was showing the coolest DUCK model to his friends. Said his buddy made them and was selling them for $5. My buddy immediately jumped up and bought it and asked for another one. Well the gentleman left the bar. Damn... no duck for me....... Hold on...... He returned with another duck in hand. I snapped it up and thanked him. That doesn't happen nowadays. How cool is that. The entire experience of that bar/grille was that of a typical Chicago old neighborhood tavern. Great people. Great food. special nod to the female bartender. Awesome lady who "gets it." We'll be back.....again and again.“
“What a delightful spot. Just what you want in a neighborhood bar. Stop by and meet some new friends. Love this place EXCEPT when someone jacks up the jutebox at 4 in the afternoon when everyone else is watching the news. We just left. Not everyone has your taste in music.“
