“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.“

“The food was good, friendly staff and cozy atmosphere.“

“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.“

“The bbq wings were so good! Also loved the chili. My husband said the sausages were good. Had a cold mug of Hofbrau beer : ) The server was really nice and attentive. We really like it! Look forward to going back.“

“Absolutely incredible meat breakfast skillet, one of the best I’ve ever had! Fast service, great small diner atmosphere — couldn’t recommend it highly enough.“

“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!“

“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.💞“

“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!“

“Great Food Staff and Prices!!!“

“I am impressed, the cashier was willing to communicate with me with my cell phone, she doesn’t show any judgement and took my order with the phone. I give it 5 stars. The reason why i use my phone because I’m a deaf customer 😁“

“Oh my gosh. I’ve been a customer at offsides for years and I just have to leave a much delayed review. Service is always amazing and consistent.
I’ve ate off there menu many many times and was always impressed with the small exquisite touches to their different sauces and different cooking methods and today I ate their ribs for the first time which are featured on Saturdays as the Saturday special slow cooked ribs that are accompanied with either a soup or salad a choice of fries which are potato wedges or tater tots and the ribs are offered with their amazing barbecue sauce or their Jack Daniels sauce today I had their barbecue sauce and let me tell you hints of honey and molasses with touches of brown sugar. That’ll make you think that you’re in a place that deserves an award-winning slow cooked rib off of some type of competition absolutely amazing completely 100% recommend the one and only Offsides sports bar and grill if you’re looking for a place to feel at home and a place to taste some of the of the most wonderfully influenced options on a menu. Come to offsides sports bar and grill. 5 plus stars“

“Again 10/10 at Little Chef in McHenry for both food and service ❤️ never a bad item or experience there! Today - based on the owner's recommendation - we started with a cupl of their meat and veggie soup that did not make it on the official menu - sorry missed a photo of it - delish! 😍 Pork, chicken and beef in a savory broth chock full of veggies - carrots, celery, onion 🤤 followed that with the egg salad appetizer, one of our absolute favs 🤩 4 toasted rounds of bread with their excellent egg salad 👍 then we tried the new potato pancakes entree for the first time, which came topped with assorted grilled veggies, plus toast, eggs and hollandaise sauce.. we got the eggs scrambled, rye toast buttered, sauce on the side, and requested a side of sour cream. YUM 😋 ended up with the vanilla cake with vanilla frosting - sorry to miss a photo of that too. Awesome! Service was timely, water glasses attentively refilled, as was the coffee too. $31 Note: it was one order of each item as we always split 🤯 We also got 2 bloody Marys and 2 mimosas, plus a Bailey's, kahlua and amaretto mix to add to our coffee as a nightcap from Old Bridge Tavern next door $48 Left with no leftovers and completely satisfied, happy and full.“

“very clean, great menu, personal service. highly recommend if you're in the area to stop by for dinner at lunch and they do serve cocktails“

“We were just there tonight. A big group of us and Christine was our server. She rocked it such a great personality. Great service will definitely be back because of her.“

“Pam was a great bartender & the food as excellent. We travel from Huntley, IL, down RT 47 to Milwaukee to visit our son at college for his home games and this will be our new go to place. The salmon was cooked perfectly & hubby loved his shrimp tacos. Hubby also said the tab beer was perfect. He could tell the beer lines were clean & the beer was nice and cold! We will be back for sure. A+ experience.“

“Food excellent wonderful atmosphere“

“Delicious food great service! Love the cake selection!“

“it was my first visit there yesterday and all the food was absolutely outstanding! from taste to creatively being plated/presented was mouthwatering!! I highly recommend!“

“well, first of all I just went there tonight for about 40 minutes and found out heather no longer works there she kept that place spotless you know she was great I thought and she made sure I got walked home if I needed one doesn’t really nice lady heather is I’m sorry to see her gone she was always waiting on the customers instead of talking to him and ignoring the customers wanting to get a drink, but I’m gonna miss her but is it cool kind of a bar if you like nostalgia they got lava lamps. They got board games they’re like trivial pursuit Jenga they got machines real good ones good paying ones I just wish heather would be back, but the prices are good they have karaoke and I believe live bands, too big bar in the back pool tables and right right in the square it’s a good walk for some. It’s an easy walk for me. I’ve never seen a fight in there not once everybody seems to know each other in there. It’s really nice but it’s hippie days are here again which is kind of cool. Try it you might like it.“

“Great atmosphere great people“

“We decided to try this place for the first time and it turned out to be an amazing choice. The food was absolutely delicious and full of flavor. Every dish came out fresh and steaming, straight from the kitchen, which made the whole experience even better. You can really tell they care about serving quality meals. It was a fantastic visit and we are already looking forward to coming back again.“

“1st time there today and will be definitely back. BEST and freshest corned beef sandwich I've EVER had made and served by super nice people. Thank you!“

Updated review:
$3.50 for a can of pop, no more free refills.

Rewards program totally sucks. In September, I tried to load 3 receipts. They showed already loaded. My account did not show the receipts loaded.
So who loaded them?

Tried to log in to review my account, and it is completely jacked up. Cannot even log in or reset my password.
I was told today that servers ask you for your number? Since when. Asked my friends and they said never were they asked for a phone number, but they dont use the rewards program.“
