Restaurants in Woodstock

“We’ve come to love this place. Clean, comfortable , dining space with authentic Mexican food. Friendly and accommodating service as well with affordable pricing. Love it.”

“Best vegan and vegetarian food ever 😋 if it’s your first time there, you have to try the southwest pizza and avocado smoothie, also, the cupcakes!!”

“Love the food, love the staff. Always served with a smile. Best place around!!”

“Wonderful people, wonderful decor. This is truly an exceptional dive bar for adults. It has the most calm and collected patrons of any bar near the square, the bartenders are fantastic, and they have a beautiful beer garden out back. My favorite bar in town for a casual drink.”

“Absolutely loved this place! The atmosphere was warm, stylish, and inviting, and the service was truly exceptional. Our bartender, Lauren, was unbelievably knowledgeable and helpful, and made the experience even better. The drinks were outstanding, with an impressive selection of wines and whiskeys. Also had the pleasure of speaking with owner who was very helpful in answering some questions i had about a specific bourbon. We were extremely impressed from start to finish and can’t wait to come back!”

“Shout out to Your Sister's Tomato! We came in for a family party today! The gluten free wood fired pizza was so good we devoured it before we snapped a picture to share! Thanks for a great lunch! 🍅🍕”

“Cannot say better things about this fine establishment. I have known Mason since our days of working at Rosatis in high school. He’s always dreamt of running his own restaurant and let me tell you he knocks it out of the park. Food was mouth watering and the service is exceptional! Really feels like you matter as a customer!”

“You rock! Thank you for protecting women at your establishment.”

“EXCELLENT food!!! Margaritas are great!! first time going and not the last!!!”

“Excellent vegetarian options”

“Got there early for our order, it came out fresh. And absolutely all the food was hot and fresh when we got it home. Crispy wings, crispy dippers, crispy fries. Better than any buffalo wold wings ive ever been to.”

“Truly the most gorgeous brewery in the area. Our favorite place to come in the summertime to enjoy the patio, the food trucks and the excellent beer. This place is such a gem”

“Best Mai Tais & Crab Cakes around! Also love their Woodstock Rolls & Sweet Potato Tempura!”

“Great venue for small party! The food was excellent and we enjoyed the music. Staff was very responsive and pleasant. Will be back soon!!”

“We went for afternoon tea yesterday. What an amazing experience! This was our first time visiting. The tea choice is plentiful. We had the quiche, scone and tart. The staff were very pleasant and attentive. We will definitely be returning for lunch another time.”

“First time going there, we ordered fresas con crema. But honestly I was very disappointed because I got more cream than strawberries. I paid 8.75 for a cup of cream 🙁 although it was good I won’t lie but definitely not enough strawberries for the price I paid.”

“Super cute place, wonderful customer service and great food, ice cream and coffee. The Italian sandwich was SO GOOD.”

“We love this bakery! Everything is always so fresh and delicious! Just ordered our first cake from the bakery and happy to say I can’t wait to order another!”

“Great lunch today at Antigua! Our server Kara was so sweet, and we were so pumped for the guac she brought us! My pineapple margarita was delish. GIANT stuffed chicken quesadilla. Only negative is it's quite small so there wasn't really a table to fit 6 of us, but Kara made it work!”

“Great food and the atmosphere is amazing”

“Been working out of town and found this spot and didn’t look anywhere else, the food is delicious and the staff is awesome and personable! Sad to be leaving the area but if ever back around will definitely be stopping back by! Do not sleep on this place!”

“Amazing coffee & delicious sandwiches. Friendly staff & clean environment. Reasonable prices & prompt service. What more could you ask for out of a Cafe & Deli?”

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

“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.”

“Awesome food and a friendly staff.”

“It smelled really wonderful when I walked in, baking bread smell, which is always a good sign! They have cases of goodies on either side and it was hard to decide what to get. Couldn't tell you the proper name for most of what I did get, except for the churro. But each pastry was delicious.

The churro was crispy but soft and chewy on the inside and had cherry filling - didn't know you could stuff a churro, but what do I know, lol.

Whatever this cookie was it was perfectly sweet and crumbly and had a great pecan taste. It was also weirdly powdery when you bit into it, but in the very best way possible. The elephant ear, that's what I call it, was huge, flaky, crispy caramelized perfection. Those were my favorites, but everything was good, and I got out of there for under $10 so I was very happy.

Parking right across the street, bright and clean inside, friendly service. Check it out!”

“The best Mexican restaurant in McHenry County. The food and service is always excellent.”

“My daughter and I were originally going to order breakfast, but their chicken salad in an avocado looked heavenly so we went with that it was wonderful. And the young lady who waited on us was so polite and helpful, and the coffee was to die for..”

“First time in there got some directions for the place we're looking for another fellow drinker in their head just picked cucumbers out of his garden and offered us several everybody friendly real good finds not much for food but they have pizza and a great stop on route 120 Illinois”

“Best frozen alfredo pizza around! Bartenders are always wonderful and chatty and fun. Great karaoke nights with DJ Spiccoli and random trivia nights are a blast. And someone’s always winning on the machines! Lol.”

“Simply the best around - quality ingredients with perfectly executed texture & flavor - friendly staff - “since 1971” says a bunch - our favorite food in Woodstock!”

“So grateful to El Taco Feliz for participating in our Trunk or Treat event at Mary Endres Elementary School tonight! Everyone was raving about your delicious food!”

“The owner is rude and seems whatever he says is right and the costumer is wrong. Handles stuff very poorly.”

“Visiting from Wisconsin and came here with some friends who are local. Was surprised at how good and inexpensive it was. Pizza, ice cream, and great friends! What more could I ask for?”

“1st Sat of each month is comedy night. So fun!!”

“In my opinion Ethereal is one of the finest chocolatiers in the country, and I particularly like the organic and natural flavorings, esp the orange chocolate which is the best which is my favorite. It is very simple to eat vegan there, and healthy. I enjoy all the plant based foods, and a hidden treasure is the protein boll, both filling and light. The herbal tes are the best I ever had, and they have much depth, combining organic teas of various flavorings. Service is friendly and laid back, and the counter area is fun for comradery and good lighting when oe is alone and perhaps wants to work. Ive gotten to know people well by sitting there. I love all their salads and I like the cucakes as much as the chocolate. It's a very attractive place, laid back and relaxing. It is very clean and well maintained. Honestly, I never ate downstairs, although I love the global ceiling on this level, which is both futuristic and subdued. Coffess seem better than average. I once drank end enjoyed a glass of warm mosel a few times per year, It was better than average. Presentations are nice, and consistent. Price points are low for the quality. While subdued, the patrons seemed upbeat and friendly, always up for discussion. I like the art, often changing. Lots of meaningful discussion to be had at the counter, esp if you enjoy the arts and literature, There are some intangibles that are appealing. many regulars, and acquantances. I enjoyed the very young and the very mature. It's the kind of place you can learn a lot just by observing and listening. On Freiday night you can expect an international crowd akin to North Michigan Avenue in Chicago and many students and musicians. Their chocolates are in retail outlets as well, which is t be expected. I expect that they;ll expand to include humus, greek yogurt as their clientele fits the demographic. Large tinted windows are peaceful. nice blend of contemporary music. probably the favorite of McHenrey County along with Aroma in Crystal Lake. Convenient to shops, sumer fun, the Oprah House, and Classic Cinema 9the lovliest meduim size, main auditorium in the midwest.”

“love there pizza and you cant get unlimited toppings”

“Ate here for the first time today. It was awesome! Had an Italian beef and fries. Absolutely delicious and a generous portion of beef.

I can see why the business has been open for 35 years.

Very nostalgic atmosphere in the best possible way. In a world of corporate chain restaurants that are all cookie cutter Beef Village is a welcoming and nice environment. It reminds me of the restaurants I would visit in the 90s. If you long for the peace of the 90s and are GenX you will feel right at home. If you are not GenX and just want some great food and a cool homey atmosphere in a world of chains you too will enjoy Beef Village. Highly recommended.

I was so happy with the food and service a friend and I are meeting there for lunch in a couple of days. I will be visiting frequently from here on out.”

“very good service and top notch coffee”

“It’s all about community. We appreciate their work and support of families and students and businesses and non-profits. Thank you!”

“The Friday night AYCE fish fry was excellent”

“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!”

“The best tacos in Woodstock”

“I always have a good experience when I go here. The staff is very friendly and kind except for the orange hair guy that wears dress shoes the food always turns out good though”

“Always a great time! Good music good service and have made some of my bestest friends here ❤️”

“I've been eating here for over 25 years. Its always been delicious and reasonably priced. I always leave happy. Lately I have gotten hooked on Lemon Chicken. Really hooked. Sometimes twice a week. 😁”

“Paul was such a pleasant person to deal with very good bakery goods soups sandwich. Can’t say enough about it.”

“Rosatti is so good!!! They have something for everyone! One of the best gluten-free pizzas I have ever had! Great service and atmosphere”

“I recently moved to Wonder Lake and have visited all the Subways in the area. This one is my favorite, especially because of Foram, the young lady who served me. The restaurant is very clean and welcoming, but her smile and personality are the reason I will make this my daily stop. 👍”

“We stopped at La Trinidad today and had another great experience. I had the huaraches with chorizo, and my husband ordered the chile relleno. Both were delicious. The service is consistently wonderful, and the staff is always friendly and attentive.
It’s a great place to stop for lunch or dinner, and we always enjoy coming here.”

“date: 01-31-2026 food is ok, but the staff are breaking their own rule. was told no outside food and drinks allowed yet staff and the manager were bringing in outside stuff. the rules should be the same for everyone. I almost left.”

“We love Mixteca. Best margaritas hands down! Great selection of authentic Mexican food and even non traditional dishes to choose from.”

“It is such a delicious sandwich because you decide what is on your sandwich. You can refill your drink and don't need to pay again. Employees are so helpful.

Vegetarian options: They will make a vegetable sandwich.

Kid-friendliness: You can bring children and they will have fun and their is room for them to move.

Parking: Lots of parking and handicapped accessible parking.

Wheelchair accessibility: There are a lot of handicapped parking.

Dietary restrictions: They have a lot of vegetables you can have on your sandwich or lettuce sandwich.”

“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 😁”

“I have to say as a local Woodstock resident, I frequently visit this Woodstock location and it literally has to be one of the most FRIENDLY sbux! The employees doesn’t matter who is there the employees are always just so friendly and polite, I’ll be honest I dunno if I could do that, that early in the am and I’m sure not every customer is pleasant especially in the early am hours, I know I’m about half awake when I go in to order lol, yet consistently every employee is polite and seems happy to be there. If they are having a bad day, you’d never know it at this location. And yes my drink is always made wonderfully, I like to keep it simple with a venti cold brew with a few vanilla pumps and vanilla cold foam; and it’s done so wonderfully every time. Keep up the great work & just wanted to share some positive feedback for once, since we don’t always live in a world of positivity-customer service especially is hard these days, thank you to the employees here who keep this location going! You all are truly great! We customers do notice and I hope you all know we appreciate it! 😊”
