The fish fry was good. I would skip the catfish, but the walleye and cod were very good. The bread roll they gave you with the dinner was also very good. 8 breaded shrimp special was also good. Fries were way overcooked and they probably need to clean The fryer. The fries are a very dark color. Service was decent for the bar being packed. The bill was around $40 for two dinners and sodas before tip

Heard that before, Rob. McNally's is cute and all but nothing like the greats. It has a comfy cozy atmosphere that, initially, I found relaxing. Then the server showed-up with a nasty disposition and the patience of a child. After waiting entirely too long for a check-up, I ended up asking the bartender for a refill. How hard is it to just grab the server and tell her to add a drink to our tab? No can do. I was dismissed, very short and coarsely, and told to order it through my waitress. The saving grace was their menu and quality of food. The scotch egg, shepherd's pie boxty and the Guinness chocolate mousse were spot on. I had a bite of their bangers and mash and easily could order that, too. I didn't handle the bill but I can tell you the place is pricey and there's not enough here to justify it. Obviously, we didn't say a thing to the good doctor but this place is mediocre at best. 02/26

I went to the VFW fish fry first time yesterday for dinner. First of all they need to update their…read morepictures on Yelp. The pieces of fish you get are half the size in the picture. The shrimp are the same they give you 2 tablespoons of coleslaw and a baked potato, that is not much bigger than an egg. it was the smallest baked potato. I think I have ever seen. Although the fish fry was not worth the money, $19 for fish and shrimp it did taste good however. When it comes to fish fry, I think I will stay with the town tap down the street, which by the way they serve every Friday starting at lunchtime. The VFW in the bar area is very loud and crowded.

Not a bad price or average in this economy. The server was extremely polite, friendly and ensured my dining partner and I were taken care of. I will definitely be back to try more things. Just sorry I didn't get a photo as I ate too quickly. One piece of advice - it would be nice if the restaurant had an updated website with a menu or frequency updated social media presence. It helps these days.

Very glad to have a fish monger in St. Charles. Generally, fish is fresh and delicious. But had a…read morereally terrible experience today. Came in for some fish, duh. Place was empty. It was clear the woman, who I think is the crabby owner, didn't want to cut a piece off of a large fish that looked super fresh. Rather, tried to upsell a larger piece that was separate and looked a little off color. After cutting a piece to my size I was overcharged by about $10 bucks. Apparently she put a little extra weight on the scale! Not cool. I called her on it and it was corrected but really?? So, watch the scale folks and watch your pocket.

Don't miss the clam chowder and the lobster bisque- both are ridiculously good. And if you save room for dessert, do not miss the pistachio bread pudding! It was absolutely delicious and a unique way to finish the meal. A special shout-out to Tim, the owner, who couldn't have been friendlier. He took excellent care of us, made us feel genuinely welcome, and added a personal touch that made the entire experience even better. Great food, great hospitality, and a place that clearly cares about its guests. We'll definitely be back!

Why did it take me so long to get here?…read more I have been driving past this place for longer than I would like to admit. Always saying the same thing, "I'm going to stop next time." Well we finally stopped and sat down for seafood feast that I have not been able to stop thinking about. We were greeted as soon we walked in and asked if we were dining in or ordering out. We were dining in and there were no available tables so we were escorted to a seating area until one was available which didn't take long. Danny was our server and quickly came over and introduced himself and took our drink orders. As I have said before, service is extremely important to me and Island Shrimp House is not lacking in hospitality. Danny did a great job and we appreciate his recommendations. We ordered: Mini Crab Cakes Claim Chowder Seafood Jambalaya Breaded Shrimp Half Beast From the East (Lobster Roll) Stuffed Lobster I already said it feast! I truly enjoyed the shrimp jambalaya. It was so flavorful and had chunks of seafood in it that I could actually see and taste which is very much appreciated! The half beast from the east lobster roll is exactly what you would expect if you were sitting in a seafood shack in Maine. Buttery soft roll with fresh lobster chunks. I could only finish half the roll. The stuffed lobster tail was extremely popular and for good reason. It was on the specials menu and you see the photo, nothing else to say! I'm looking forward to my next several visits as the food was delicious and the service made you feel at home. That's just my palate, go try it for yourself and let me know what you think!

I joined my husband's family in celebration of his birthday. We had a late lunch at a local…read morerestaurant and convened here to continue the celebration. I have never been to a VFW, but found this location to be a fun and relaxing venue. I met a few veterans and their families who brought food for all to enjoy. Libations were offered at the bar at a reasonable cost. A band was scheduled to play at 7 pm, but I had to leave and didn't get to hear them. I'm sure they did a good job. Out of curiosity, I did a little research about this particular post and its namesake. I learned that the Harry E. Anderson Post 9545 Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States was established on July 19, 1947. Corporal Anderson was the first soldier in Will County Illinois to die during World War II. He was killed in Guam on December 7, 1941. On September 12, 1995, the post was completely destroyed by fire. However, plans to rebuild the it began almost immediately while trailers served as the temporary post. On November 19, 1996, the new building was completed and formally dedicated on January 11, 1997. VFW Post 9545 is one amongst approximately 9,000 posts worldwide. Its mission is to "honor the dead by helping the living" through veterans' services, community services, national security, and a strong national defense. Frankly, I'm impressed with the organization and its structure; specifically, VFW Post 9545. I took a photo of its organization chart. I'm an American who actually likes being an American. Yes, the country has its issues just like all countries. But the USA is my home
