    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.

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

    Bring salt! Good atmosphere, good drinks(Mango Tango!), good service. Sadly, the food was…read moredisappointing: I ordered tacos and my husband ordered a Chile relleno burger; both were pretty tasteless. The proteins (beef and chicken) were not seasoned. Even the 'spicy' sauce for the tacos was bland. We had to request salt just to be able to eat what we ordered. However, the tableside guacamole and chips were good.

    Date of visit: December 13, 2025…read more I love a good Mexican place, and as much as I enjoy Carlos's, it is good to have other options for when I go to visit my friend in the McHenry/Spring Grove area. The restaurant is very large with a variety of seating options including some interesting swings. I say interesting because it's really more of a novelty than anything; honestly, do you really want to have a seat that moves while you're eating chips with salsa? The menu is interesting, with a heavy focus on birria (think brisket, if you're unfamiliar) including in a dipped/fried taco as well as a grilled cheese sandwich, which is what I went with. While the meat in the sandwich was good, there was very little cheese to speak of, and that should be an important component of a grilled...cheese. However the chips and salsa were excellent, with some of the best chips I've had in quite some time, they really taste like more. In terms of the salsa, they are not lying with the "Diablo" in their name. If you are not a fan of spicy, stay away from the salsas as even the mild is fairly potent after a few chips. Also note that sour cream is available but doesn't tend to come WITH things by default, so be prepared to ask for that if it's a key part of your Mexican meals. Also disappointing, the tacos come with raw onions on top. This isn't mentioned on the menu, and was a very unwelcome addition to the dish. Service was a bit of a mixed bag; Jasmine was nice and attentive but struggled on some aspects, including telling us what the three salsas were when she brought them to the table, and saying that birria was a "biscuit," which thoroughly confused us. She asked if we wanted more chips and we declined, but then she brought more anyways.
