    Liver with onions and a garlic mash
    Stu F.

    First Time here after asking on the local FB page for places serving liver and onions. The location is right on the river channel and had great views of boaters passing on by along with places to tie up if boating. The service was very good, and they also serve daily specials. Thursday are ribs. Both my wife and I had the liver with onions. It was juicy yet mild in flavor. Just what one would look for in a liver dinner. It was served with nicely browned onions(could have used more even with the request of extra onions at time of order). Our choice of potato was garlic mashed. We also had salads which were a blend of leaf with other veggies. No homemade dressings and the ranch was nothing special. I also started off with a bowl of chicken and wild rice soup. It was excellent. Only 20 minutes from the house and we will return. Most likely for the liver.

    The positives: on the river, easy parking, staff friendly, some of the food tasty, reasonably priced! The negatives: a bit tired looking and the coleslaw was marginal at best. Just a thought, get a broom and sweep away the spiders and webs on the deck.

    Cocktails and Pontoons

    Great views and atmosphere. Usually grab a Sandwich at the bar. Cold beer, boat piers. Rustic! One of our favs!

    0/5 Stars I cannot…read moreemphasize this enough: STAY AWAY from the bar side of this building. While the hardworking people on the breakfast diner side are actually doing their jobs, being professional, the food tasted amazing. The bar is a complete and utter disaster run by people who clearly hate their customers. The "service" if you can even call it that is a complete joke. The bartender, Marella, is quite literally the most unpleasant person I've ever encountered in the service industry. She is rude, dismissive, and puts on this fake, plastic persona that's transparent to everyone with a brain. She treats patrons like an inconvenience for simply existing and ordering a drink. It's honestly impressive how someone so miserable can keep a job in a public facing role. The management also contributes to the unwelcoming atmosphere. There is a palpable sense of elitism that makes regular patrons feel unwelcome. It often feels as though the establishment is run for a specific inner circle rather than the general public, leaving everyone else feeling like an outsider in what should be a community space. The quality of the offerings does not justify the high prices. Drinks often lack the proper proportions, and the overall value is poor compared to other establishments in McHenry. The contrast between the bar and the professional service found on the diner side is stark while the diner staff works hard to provide a positive experience, the bar side lacks that same commitment to customer satisfaction. The physical environment of the bar has also seen better days. Between the outdated decor and the general lack of upkeep, the space feels neglected. For anyone looking for a friendly environment with fair prices and professional service, looking elsewhere would be a better use of time and money. It is disappointing to see such a divide in quality within the same building.

    Kasie is the great bartender! So nice and personable, 1st time here and she's was so welcoming…read more Busy bar too and she made time to be kind and personable
