The place had 6 slot machines and couple of pool tables where you could easily spend couple of hours with huge groups.

But I was pleasantly surprised by the food too. I got the cheeseburger sliders which were really good. Moist, tasty, and the perfect size for a slider. I ordered fries on the side and wasn't expecting the portion size. They gave an entire basket of fries that easily could have fed the party of four adults I was there with. Crispy, flavorful, loved them. The cheese curds were also great, paired with a sauce recommended by the bartender. I wish I could remember what it was, definitely some type of sweet/salty almost teriyaki sauce. So, so good. I don't drink alcohol much so I can't comment on the drinks but everyone we were there with seemed to enjoy them. So much so, they ordered several. Great vibes here. They had the front window open for a beautiful sixty degree day. Music was on. Everyone there both staff and other customers were all really nice and we had a great time. Turns out our bartender was the owner of the bar and he was just fantastic. Attentive but not overly so. I'd recommend this place if you're looking for a great place for a drink and a bite to eat.

We had a coupon for a free appetizer (we ordered the potato skins) that was about to expire so we decided to give this location a try. We have been to the one in Bloomingdale, but haven't been here. While we were in the car we used the waitlist option and the app said that there was a 20 minute wait. Once we got inside there was actually only a 5 minute wait. The restaurant is huge and literally every table was full but because the restaurant is so huge there is always a party on the way out so the flow of traffic was nice and steady. I ordered the herb chicken breast, the waitress asked if I wanted it smothered in mushrooms and grilled onions and of course I said yes. She did not mention that it was an up-charge... I should have asked however the amount added to my plate was well worth the $2.99 up-charge. I picked the house salad and veggies because I knew my carbs were going to be coming from the two delicious rolls and butter I was planning on eating while waiting for my order to be cooked. My husband ordered a 9oz steak with a house salad and corn and wanted it cooked medium rare... it came out really rare. It was delicious but way too chewy and hard to eat. He was disappointed but did not want to send it back because he was hungry and ready to dig in. The atmosphere is fun, there were at least three tables nearby that were celebrating birthdays. They sing a song and it is really uplifting and fun to hear! If you're looking for a restaurant with great food to celebrate a birthday or other important day... or even if you're not celebrating anything special, come out and give this restaurant a try! I cannot believe it took us so long to give this place a try! I was avoiding it because I thought the prices were going to be very high, and it is actually affordable and within what I consider a good value!

By far the best Kojak's experience we've ever had and we used to be regulars. I ordered the Greek salad with chicken as I had often done and it wasn't just a bunch of lettuce as it had been times before. Lots of olives, onions, feta, chicken and peppers instead of a limited amount. My husband ordered a southwestern salad and had a similar experience with his.

The draft beer is always cold, and they've got a strong case for one of the best sports bar setups in McHenry County....plenty of TVs and a great place to catch a game.

I don't want my eggs in my gravy but, that's how it was. It was odd. Then after I ate, they cleared the plate and then I had to go hunt somebody down to even pay the bill.

Had dinner at restaurant many times and food is for the most part very good with few complaints. Reasonably priced, well prepared and service, more often than not, adequate but not spectacular. However, having a bill that is inaccurate doesn't sit well with me and when you question it, get a half hearted "oh, I'm sorry" makes you feel like a cheapskate for calling it out. As an IHG Spire elite member perhaps I expect a little better treatment especially when they offer me complimentary drink and snack for my loyalty. I would love to have given them at least four stars for the quality/taste of the meals but sub par service doesn't deserve it. Enjoy the food / value and hope you get the service as well.
