Our band played at Cuda's last Saturday. The room was great. The stage was a bit tight for our 5 piece but we managed. The acoustics were surprisingly good! Seems like a great place to check out live music! read more

The food at Cuda's is all handmade, hand stretched and hand breaded. The owner makes everything from scratch. The thin crust pizza is like a cracker and the flavor is yummy. His sauces and pizza dough are fresh. If you are looking for real food (not canned) this is the place. read more

Cuda's Bar & Grill - Friends having a good time with a band at Cuda's. Summer 2020! - Gastropubs Near Me - Antioch, Illinois

What a hidden gem, lived near it for many years and went in the first time a few weeks ago. The smaller part at the entrance seemed like a small little hot dog place that was out dated and average but when I went to the back where the band was playing I was pleasantly surprised and impressed. the exterior is lacking and looks like a hole in the wall which those can be some of the best places. However when you enter the back section it was clean and the atmosphere was great! I was so glad I just stopped in with a friend who wanted to go there. I would have never guessed from the outside! The back patio could use a bit of life but I would give this place an 8/10! I will be back for sure. I hadn't eaten there so the 8/10 is for the unknown food adventure and the back patio and front entrance. read more

This has been out me GO-To spot during Covid for take out. Love the bottle caps, fries, burgers and more!

The food is great! They have someone who really cares about the food that is being served. Fish fry is great. The mac & cheese is sooo good but it needs to be served at a hotter temperature. The wings are great and so are the hand cut fries with the crunchy lil bits and I love that they serve them with homemade ranch. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the bottle caps. I REALLY wish they would serve 3 with each entree so more people could try them AND so that I don't have to order the appetizer and eat the entire order myself! Love the music and the car shows and BINGO! There are so many great things about this place but the service isn't one of them. There are a couple of girls that are great but there are some that have been serving there for a long time that just just do not put forth any effort. We do eat here often but have never reviewed. The food keeps us coming back. read more

I really like Cuda's. I have been there quite a few times for lunch and have to say I have always had a good meal. I especially like their cuda's special mac and cheese. Very good. I also like the classic car decor. I hope to go back for a classic car day or maybe a football game soon. read more

Cuda's Bar & Grill - Gastropubs Near Me - Antioch, Illinois

Think comfort food with a pleasant twist to make it interesting. Classic car theme in a somewhat divey bar. We drove past this place a million times and never gave it a second look. Thanks to other yelp reviews gave it a try. We went with the special Mac and cheese for an appetizer and the hand tossed pizza. Mac and cheese was good and the pizza was amazing. Would definitely recommend the Cudas for the food and service. Atmosphere is typical of the "Lake bars in the area". read more

Stopped in last night for dinner after reading all the great reviews here in Yelp! I agree that it is a place that I probably wouldn't have stopped at otherwise but I am so glad that I did. The environment was alright. I really enjoyed all the TV's that they had throughout the place. The mason jar beer glasses were great. The tap beer selection was small but had a good bottle selection. The food was wonderful. We had the pulled pork/mac n cheese appetizer and it was delicious. We also had a burger and the chicken sandwich and both were delicious. Highly recommend going to check this place out and I will certainly be back! read more

The beer was so flat it was in undrinkable! Told the waitress it was flat and she took it and still charged us for it! Got the bacon burger which was the worst burger I've ever had in my life! There was 1 piece of bacon on it and so over cooked it was burnt. The fires were soggy and cold and still burnt(how does that happen) *pete he bingo announcer was the only good part about this whole experience* Will never go back... read more

This place is so wonderful!!' True some of the best barbecue I have ever had. They don't really advertise their soups but if you try them you would be very delighted! Enjoyed their homemade smoked chicken and rice soup. Very filling also! I seem to order the nachos with pulled pork because it is so delicious! Freshly fried chips topped with bbq smoked pulled pork, romaine lettuce, olives, jalapeños, and tomatoes. There is so much I always end up taking it home! The service is also outstanding! read more

Highly recommend this place. I came with my daughter and she loved the Chicken Tenders. You can tell that the batter is made fresh. I had the pulled pork which was amazing.

If you like fresh food(awesome fries!!), great service, and a chill atmosphere, this is your place!! read more

We were up in Fox Lake area and found Cuda's on Yelp. It looked like an interesting menu so we stopped in. It was pretty empty as it was mid day on a very cold day. Our waitress was great and very knowledgeable on the menu. We ordered a series of appetizers including the boneless wings, pork wings, and a French fry special that had pulled pork, bacon, vegetables and cheese. My son also ordered a meatball sandwich. Everything was amazing. The boneless wings were nice and crispy. The ranch dressing is homemade and so good we bought some to take home. The pork wings were flash fried pork shanks that were crispy and awesome with the orange pepper marmalade. The meatball sandwich disappeared and his sweet potato fries were perfect. I don't give reviews too often - but had to write one for Cuda's. They deserve their success. read more

Cuda's Bar & Grill - Blue cheese stuffed fried olives! Yummmmmm - Gastropubs Near Me - Antioch, Illinois

Went here on advice from yelp and oh how u was amazed. Nice bar area with live music weekends but the food and cocktails we're to die for. First time I had the pulled pork platter which was great along with the fresh cut fries. The homemade bloody marry with bacon infused vodka was crazy good. Also the Mac and cheese topped with pulled pork was a small but incredibly tasty appetizer Second time at Cuda's I went from like to live with this place. The Chicken and waffles had me hooked for life. Light fluffy waffles with a soft crisp that tasted like they were pre-dipped in butter and lightly breaded crispy but tender chicken pieces with yes a orange-habanero marmalade!!!! I will be going back again very soon read more

Kudos to whoever did the decorating inside Cuda's for that retro feel; having said that it seems like a GLARING omission not to have a Pinball machine. Might I suggest Stern's wildly successful "Mustang" pinball? These details can make a big difference. read more

The food and Decor are awesome. I am so happy they are on our island and appreciate the car shows.

Classic Car Shows, friendly people, home-like feel. Although I have not tried everything on the menu as of yet, every experience here has been good. The live bands are solid, the waitresses and bartenders are always atop their game, and the cooks do an amazing job. This is a great Lake County bar. read more

If your looking for a real homemade pizza with fresh ingredients, then it's here. I can explain how it tastes but you really should try it for yourself. However; I come here for their chicken wings. Slightly crisp but moist inside. It's a hidden gem! read more

Stopped in last week for their $5 burger special on Thursday, ordered a well-done burger and it was so pink I think it was still moving. Looked done but it was cooked from frozen, yuck! The sweet potato fries where not hot at all and no salt on them, wtf? Needless to say, I will not be back!!! It's amazing to see how downhill a place can go since August 2015.... SAD! read more

Cuda's, I love you. PBR chicken, fish tacos, Friday fish fry..... The Best. I have heard some pretty good music there. Sam, Katie, and Ann are very good bar tenders and waitresses. Cuda's feels like home. read more

I was reluctant at first to stop in there. That was my first big mistake. Everything that my wife and I had from the menu was excellent. They smoke their bacon and they smoke the ribs to perfection and they are phenomenal. read more

My new favorite go to place! I have been here about five times. Food and service have always been dead on! Homemade mozzarella sticks, yum! Egg burger on a pretzel bun, cooked to perfection. Pizza is hot fresh and so full of toppings. The Revolution beer is great. For a real treat try the Bloody Mary, house infused bacon flavored vodka, served with bacon. You won't leave disappointed! read more

I actually enjoy coming here, great friendly bartenders and staff. Delicious burgers, great bloody Mary's. Tuesdays they have $2 craft beers, and cider. Good place to come with big groups of friends. read more

Cute, yummy and friendly. This is our second time here for lunch and both times the service was great and the food was delicious.

Oh yeah and the BEST fries ever! read more
