The Fogcutter is a beloved hole-in-the-wall dive in Gurnee, known for its great food and charming atmosphere. A popular spot for both locals and visitors, it offers a pleasant change from chain restaurants, with a mix of macro lagers, standard liquors, and a few unique tap choices. Though it may look abandoned from the outside, the lively atmosphere inside and the kid-friendly staff create a welcoming environment for families.
The Fogcutter is famous for its surprisingly good bar food, including the excellent $5 D&D burger, which has been praised as the best burger many have had in years. The meals are delicious and affordable, with generous portions. While it can get crowded and there may be a short wait during peak hours, the service remains quick and the staff is helpful. The menu features popular items like the Mai Tai and other tasty dishes. With its lively community vibe, The Fogcutter is an excellent destination for lunch or dinner, and it is worth a visit for anyone looking for a fun place that serves alcohol and has sports on TV.
