Awesome seating outside where the building protects you from the wind. Great bourbon selection, the drinks are awesome. The wait staff are friendly and funny. They're not afraid to help each other out to make sure you have a great experience.“

“I have found the best Walleye dinner I have ever eaten here, and my favorite waitress, Tia, is just a real treat if you get lucky enough to be served by her. Have also had other meals at this place, and they were good, but thinking about the walleye makes my mouth water, its that good! Just do yourself a favor and make it to this place on a Wednesday, Tia is the walleye princess for a reason! It;s hard for me think of a better dining experience, I now look forward to Wednesdays.“

“Had the opportunty to stop in at the hidden Max-Boyd-s Hideout in Antioch recently, interesting place, decor and experience.

Located in Antioch, but off the beaten path, literally. a few blocks off of Grass Lake Road is the Hideout, not far away from any of the Chain of Lakes.

Weathered and worn, like a old leather jacket, if you are looking for an old school tavern style place, you should stop in.

Bring cash only, or use their ATM, indulge in their beer or drink selection while seated at the bar, table or play a Slot machine.

I enjoyed the grilled chicken sandwich-fries or chips, which was delicious and flavorful.
I see they have ribs, burgers, fish frys and prime rib selections as well available.

The prohibition, Al Capone theme is a nice touch as well. Test your sense of adventure and stop in.“

“Love this place! Right next to my work.“

“Dog friendly. Lots of dogs. Good food. Great covered area. Sturdy chairs. Friendly dog lover waitresses“

Each dish was a testament to the chef's expertise and dedication to fresh, high-quality local ingredients. The overall experience was seamless and memorable, making a return visit desirable to explore more of their delicious creations.“

“Great food, but Not Sure For a Quick Lunch
We were driving down 173 the other day, saw their sign and tried them out for lunch. You enter into a fairly large dining room with many tables. To the left is a large bar. There was one other couple and two groups of 6-8 seniors having lunch. We later saw that the seniors were bridge players and started playing cards after lunch. Only one server/hostess was working and she worked hard. She took our drink order, ice water for me and fresh brewed Iced Tea ($3.00) for my wife. We then took to studying the expansive menu. It is just like the menu at Dockers down in Fox Lake. You name it, they have it. We see our server refilling drinks for the other diners, bringing out some appetizers, etc. and finally taking our food order. We were in no rush and just sat and talked. Then we saw our server bringing meals out to people that were there way before we got there. Not a good sign as there was another large group still to get their meals in front of us. Our drinks got refilled and we sat some more. Our food finally arrived after an easy half hour, maybe longer. She did explain that it was only her and the cook so that's what took so long. The meals were worth the wait. My wife had the Dockers Style Marinated Chicken Plate ($15.99) with fresh fruit. A warm pita was topped with a juicy and tasty Greek seasoned chicken with a side Greek salad and several slices of fresh fruit. I had the Grecian Salad with Chicken ($15.99). Prior to bringing out our meals, our server asked if I like anchovies on my Greek salad - I sure do and she loaded me up. The salad was composed of plenty of the usual Greek salad ingredients and a very tasty dressing. This could easily be shared. Our meals were excellent, fresh and flavorful! Everything we saw go by looked delicious and we would go back again if we were in the area, just not if we're pressed for time.“

“This store frequently has very slow service, even during off-peak times. Possibly short-staffed? Other fast food restaurants in this area seem to have same problem so not just Culver's. Food is always good quality and staff is nice. Just slower than normal for a Culver's. Waited for about 15 mins for a simple order from drive thru; single cheeseburger, fries and a drink; nothing out of the ordinary.“

“Such a fun place--great decor! Staff amazing! Food amazing! Will definitely be back!!“

“Haven't had/been there in so long. It's been like 6 or 7 years. Possibly like 2018 or 2019. Customer Service went well, Concrete Mixer is so good, Restaurant is cleanliness even the floors and I will be returning! Good job Culvers in Antioch! ❤️“

“Definitely worth the few extra minutes driving up here from Round Lake. I showed up on Thursday to find out they’ve got an all you can eat taco special 👀 I gotta roll myself out to my car after this. Don’t let the previous rough construction out front fool you, this place is gold. I had the steak and chorizo tacos that were superb. Mango margarita slapped 👏🏻“

“Dinner again at the Blue Goose! Always delicious!!! Had the Reuben, elote corn cobs and trashy tacos...highly recommend all 3!“

“Burgers are excellent! Love the Hot mess.. Service is Excellent! If you havn't been.. GO.“

“It's not much to look at from the outside, but inside has a friendly, hometown diner atmosphere. The prices are probably apt for the area. The servings were surprisingly large, and the food delicious“

“It's been awhile since I was completely blown away by a restaurant. Kathy was our server and was delightful for our entire meal. The restaurant has a wonderful old world feel that puts your body into a total relaxed feeling, the smells, the views of the lake... It's special.

We started with the crab cake and Mexican perogi which were both fantastic and unique compared to basic appetizers at most restaurants.

Then Kathy walked out our dinners, the polish platter is a must, it captures what this restaurant does best, Polish cuisine at its best. My girlfriend ordered the special broccoli and crab stuffed salmon. This thing was huge! Easily the largest salmon filet we've seen.

If you are looking for a good date spot or somewhere to wow your family and friends you have found the place!“

“What a great local place. Just had one of the best fried chicken dinners tonight. Homemade soups and dinners are always top notch. 😋“

“I’ve worked here over 3 years. I love this bar, I love the customers, my bosses are great. We have live music or karaoke every single weekend. Our kitchen is open until 9 PM Sunday through Thursday and 10 PM Friday and Saturday. The fryers are on until 2 AM seven days a week. Friday and Saturday we offer giant slices of homemade pizza for $5 slice until they’re gone. We are fully handicap accessible, two ramps for indoor and back deck access. We have a large selection of canned and bottled beers, huge selection of hard liquor, seltzer, iced teas, etc.. We have RC products on the gun, but also offer Coke and Pepsi products in the can. We can pretty much customize any menu item within reason. Our kitchen staff is incredible. I tell people we are a bar with restaurant quality food. We do have a large dining room that is kid friendly. Definitely bring your appetite, our portions are large, but absolutely delicious.“

“Best mozzarella sticks ever long cheese pull“

“I stopped by here on a whim last Saturday night because a friend recommended it to me. it's a quaint little joint in a 'middle of nowhere' kinda town. I didn't know what to expect when I walked in. Not too big, well lit and a friendly crowd. I was told that I had to try the food. Whenever I first try a new place, I usually try a burger of it's on their menu. Lots of smoked meats are available here as well! Brisket, ribs, wings etc. Quite the selection! I got the bacon cheeseburger and omg! It was BANGIN!! Come hungry too cause it's a half pound of mouth watering beefy deliciousness! The crinkle cut fries are an awesome addition to this monster burger as well. 😋 I ended up staying longer than expected as some people that I knew showed up and it was worth it! Great time here. I'll definitely be back (if they allow me) Did I mention the awesome bartender? 😎 Highly recommended.“

“Stopped here on a Saturday night on our way through to Illinois. It was very busy. They had St Patrick’s Day specials as well as their normal menu and regular Saturday specials. Everyone was nice and things appeared to run smoothly in a crazy busy atmosphere. Food came out promptly and was very good! If we ever find our way down here again I’d stop back and recommend to others as well. I don’t usually do reviews but was impressed enough that I felt I should. Thanks again!“
