20 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Lakemoor

“Sweet Melissa's Pizza and Pub was a great place to stop for a beer and food. Inside was really nice with lots of tv's. Meatball Sandwich was a monster. I had to cut the meatballs in half just to handle it. Meatballs were just ok. Parmesan Fries, Italian Egg Rolls and the soup were all delicious. The Chicken Tenders were just average. Very friendly and professional staff.“

“I recently worked a wedding at Harbor Brewing for an outside caterer and was very impressed with the staff (great bartenders!), facilities, and ambiance. The happy couple and their guests all seemed to have had a wonderful evening and throughly enjoyed the selection of drinks offered by the venue. In talking with the attendees (and from clearing their empty glasses) it was clear they found the quality of that selection far exceeded the run of the mill menu available elsewhere. Moreover, the bartenders did an great job keeping the lines short, the beverages fresh, and although I unfortunately wasn’t able to banter with them myself every guest walked away from their interactions with a smile on their face. The area in which the event took place was both spacious and beautifully decorated/styled. The brewery’s aesthetic is tasteful and the layout allowed for plenty of room for the crowd to dance and mingle. Personally I thought the wall of whiskey barrels was a brilliant addition - wether it was simply meant as storage or a design element chosen specifically for the look it really brought the room together. This may seem like a weird feature to bring up but having worked tons of weddings at dozens of venues over the years I always take note of the restroom accommodations in an event space because as a party progresses underperforming in this arena can create a ton of problems. Here the bathrooms not only fit the theme (extra points for the keg urinals!) but were kept clean and easily accommodated the parties needs. Finally, the venue is located in Lake Villa’s downtown area somewhat near the train station with plenty of parking for guests available on site as well as near by on Cedar street. Finding the building was no trouble at all and leaving when the event was over was hassle free. Altogether Harbor Brewing is a fantastic choice for anyone looking for a space to host an event; a beautiful venue with some wonderful staff pouring outstanding beer will make for a night you and your friends won’t soon forget.“

“Good selection of beers as well as some ciders and meads which gives everyone a chance to enjoy something. Food at the Round Lake Beach location is available at the Pizza place in the same plaza who will bring your food to you at the bar. Loved going on DJ Bingo nights, Jesse is the best!! She provides a great welcoming atmosphere and knows how to take care of you. All around great spot to go to.“

“We stopped at this place for lunch recently. Very good food and fast service. Everything is reasonably priced compared to other hotdog places. Portions are very generous and fries are perfectly crispy. Cheese sauce on side was great and not watery, gyro was perfect and grilled chicken sandwich was very juicy. Would highly recommend it and will definitely be back“

“No wake is great. The servers and bartenders are really friendly. The prices at this bar are always reasonable. I always enjoy the food when I visit. Atmosphere is fun too. This bar is popular but gets more crowded in the summer months. Located on the Fox River it's always fun to stop while boating. They also have gas for refueling boats. There are also a lot machines and there is outdoor seating in the summer months. I would highly recommend visiting no wake.“

“My husband said I don't feel like making breakfast, I'm going to order something.. Well he made a great choice.. The food was delicious ? I had a spinach & cheese omelette & pancakes he had a skillet. Next time we will have to dine in. Can't wait to try something else. It was our 1st time eating here & it will not be our last!!“

“My husband's birthday was great, thanks to La Pizza Via! With Ben's help, I surprised him on a Tuesday after work with an intimate dinner gathering with a few close friends in their dining area. It was the perfect setting for a quick surprise celebration. Ben took care of absolutely everything, from the ambiance to the food. All I had to do was send out invitations and get my husband there! The food was delicious, and the service was fantastic. We can't recommend La Pizza Via enough – it's a wonderful spot for a special occasion.“

“Great selection of beers. You can get pints or flights. An excellent space. We came for trivia night and it was packed, but we still got served in a timely manner. The giant pretzel was good. Lots of places in the area deliver here, so even though there are no real food options on the menu you can get something delivered.“

“Stopped in yesterday for a quick afternoon drink with the family for my dad‘s birthday and had a great time. Everybody was drinking beer, however, I decided to try their absinthe cocktail which was the first time I’ve seen this at a bar and it was done very well.Overall, the place is quaint, has a great cocktail list, and it was also nice to see a Mocktail menu if requested. During nice days, they have plenty of outdoor seating, which would make this a great place to hang out on a Friday or Saturday night with friends.Will definitely be back.“

“This place definitely deserves over 5 stars. Beautiful and cozy atmosphere, very friendly staff, never a long wait, and there açaí bowls are top tier. I drove over an hour an half away for açaí bowls in libertyville. I happened to stumble across this place which is now only a 40 min drive. You guys have fresh fruit and definitely give what you pay for.“

“Good choice for toppings on vanilla or chocolate soft serve ice cream. Soft serve was good quality but instantly turns runny in mostly anything other than a cone (eg sundae). Personally I'm a custard guy though and would rather have ice cream flavors instead of toppings. Next time we'll have to try their shaved ice.“

“Had a great time stopping in for lunch on a Sunday. Tasty spicy Bloody Mary. So happy they bag interesting vegetarian options!!! This made my vegetarian friends happy and me because I picked it! Buffalo Cauliflower was just lightly battered and peefectly cooked with a good plate full. The chickpea curry was yummy and I had grilled chicken with it. The desserts looked yummy but not this trip. Next visit we will try the beer and desserts!Vegetarian options: Offered tofu as alt protein!Dietary restrictions: They are a scratch kitchen so were able to accommodate a few changes due to allergies“

“Absolutely love this brewery! Hoptopus is my fav CL IPA! They don't serve anything else but beer and popcorn along with cucumber lemon water! Now they do have vendors and there's so many places that you can hit up if you're hungry before or after. It's located in downtown Crystal lake and it does have its own parking! They also organize fun game nights and music events depending on the season! Summer it's so fun! I cannot wait to come back and have a cold hoptopus! The service is amazing, you come you sit and order and enjoy .. repeat! That's all for now“

“My wife and I did a tour. Our experience was great. Amanda did the tour and was very knowledgeable and very down to earth. The smell in the air hits your nose as soon as you walk in and it’s heavenly. The spirits were delicious as well. We bought a bottle of Rye (highly recommend). This was a Christmas gift from my wife! Thanks Copper Fiddle, we will definitely be coming back“

“Yummy & healthy acai bowls & cute catered seasonal menu items to choose from! Always a friendly face willing to explain the options whenever I stop in. Love following them on all their socials to know when new things drop. Would def recommend to a friend looking for healthy alternatives in their area!“

“My kids and I love this place! It’s the only place in town where my dairy free family has zero issues eating great food. It makes my life so easy! Plus, the outdoor seating is perfectly situated so that toddlers can eat and watch trains…it’s perfect for us! The food is great! The staff is just awesome! We’re big big fans and will be. Ack again and again.“

“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.“

“I love Buddyz, always have, but last night we had a little birthday party for my mom in the back room and not only was the food the delicious as usual, and the room perfect for the occasion, they let us bring in a little entertainment (Elvis is in the building!) but it was the service tha was a knock out! Our servers were so attentive, so much fun, so friendly, they added that cherry on the cake that made the evening perfect! Thanks again Buddyz, you guys are the best!!Kid-friendliness: We had a ton of little ones and they had a blast and the servers actually brought them out pizza dough to play with - so cool!“

“Just visited for the first time and it will not be the last. I was not sure what to get and our server, Bella, recommended the Snow Day. It is a soft serve and slushy mixed together---Delishous. My husband got a traditional sugar cone, his was also excellent. It was great that the had vegan options. Service was excellent and the store was clean.“

“I was stuck at work and my daughter forgot to bring snacks to dance class. 30 minutes prior to closing I ordered delivery to her at the local community center! Thanks to the girl I spoke with who made it happen and quickly! Great food great service!“
