And virtually NOBODY offers Beef Wellington anymore but you can get it here, always a treat for me. I've primarily eaten in the bar area which is large and nice, and has a fairly big/separate gaming space which is less busy than most places nearby since this is a higher end restaurant more than gaming bar. Service has always been professional and there is ample parking, definitely worth a visit if you're in the area.

Other than that a great evening. Sausage flatbread was hot and delicious. I had the lamb shank. Way too much food but it was done so well. Kudos. Their steak and chicken dishes were also a hit. The little desert cups are cute and so yummy. Very nice evening and good service.

Everything was great about this place and the hype is legit!…read more First off, the parking is great! A nice big free lot across the street. No need to find street parking. We walked in on a lazy Sunday post the lunch rush, around 2. I forget what burger I got, but it did not disappoint. Everyone who has said I need to check it out was tight. It was very good. The burger was flavorful and juicy. The toppings were fresh and the fries were tasty. Everything was great! I returned with my burger club and most guys liked it however, some got the burgers that had so much going on that your taste buds are in over drive. Just stick with a build your own burger and avoid all the crazy toppings and you'll love it.

We were in the area strawberry picking and wanted to find a local place for lunch. Based on Google…read morereviews, we chose DC Cobb's. I'm glad we didn't skip this place based on the Yelp reviews. The restaurant is in the heart of downtown McHenry and next to the river. I highly recommend sitting in the enclosed patio. It's spacious, full of tvs, and has a nice view of the river. You can tell based on the menu and confirmed by our server, burgers are their thing. All kinds including beef, bison, chicken, turkey, veggie and fish, some choices are an up charge. The burgers come with a side, some have an up charge. Our server mentioned everything is made in-house. I feel it's a rarity of restaurants to made their food in-house so it made me excited for the food. Everything is reasonably price. I opted for the BFM burger and pickle chips ($2 up charge). The burger was juicy and well cooked. Their burgers are 1/2 lbs so it was big. The pickle chips were crunchy and really good. Portion was huge and worth the up charge. My lunch partner chose Cajun fries and they were crispy and flavorful. Our server was great! She was so nice! One negative, they allow dogs and many people brought their dogs. Since the space is enclosed, I did not like all the dogs while I was eating. It was tricky leaving since the hostess stand is located in the tight entrance and there was a dog right in the doorway. My lunch companion is deathly allergic to dogs. Luckily this dog owner was considerate and moved their dog so we could pass. Other than all the dogs, we enjoyed our meal and would come again.

The building is very old and I'm sure there's some great history. It looks like the interior was recently updated because it was very clean and had great vibes. We ordered garlic beer nuggets, chicken parm sandwich (with Cole slaw) and a medium wilborn pizza. The nuggets were pillowy and delicious, but the real star was this pizza. It was spicy, and the pepperoni was perfectly crispy on top. The other stand out was the Cole slaw! It wasn't too creamy and had a great vinegar note with a little spice as well.

I got the chicken parmigiana with marinara and bowtie noodles and the breading was falling off the entire piece of chicken. It was poorly coated. The chicken was also tough and dry, and severely overcooked. The noodles were well over cooked and so saggy I couldn't even get them on my fork. I gave up on the pasta part of my meal. Their wine list, given that they're an Italian restaurant, is sad. Only 1 option for basically each type of wine. Our server was not very friendly and seemed to have an attitude. He never checked in. Our glasses had been empty and he never bothered to ask if we wanted another round or even more water. We had to chase down other servers to ask. And it was not busy at all. The hostess even seemed to have an attitude when we arrived. I don't recommend and I will not be returning.

This place is a dump! I wouldn't even let my dog eat there, the place is dirty. I'd rate the service, but they don't have that! They are so worried about the queen of hearts gambling ring, they have going, they don't really sell anything but tickets. You can't get a drink in this place. And why you would order food here, is beyond me! It's the kind of place that you order a bottle of beer. Because who knows if they wash the glasses. I would doubt they do! And I would have to agree with Stephanie, but not only have they abandoned their "local clients and loyals", they dumped ALL customers in general! Unless you want to buy queen of hearts tickets! I certainly will never go back to this pathetic excuse of a business. But if you do decide to risk your health by patronising this garbage can, just take a look at the picnic tables before you walk in. Covered in bird droppings and black mold. I guess they think it's ok for the outside to be dirty. And really, they don't care much about the inside either! read more

A First Visit That Won't Be Our Last!…read more Our first visit to The Rusty Nail did not disappoint! We each ordered the prime rib, and all three meals were fantastic. The king cuts were generous, cooked beautifully, and absolutely delicious. At $32 a meal, the quality and portion were an incredible value. Our server, Amy, was the perfect finishing touch. She was super sweet, personable, and incredibly accommodating. Great service can make a meal even better, and she definitely did that for us! The restaurant was clean and welcoming, and they also have outdoor seating. We arrived around 5:00 and walked right in with no wait, which was a nice bonus. Five stars all around for the food, service, atmosphere, and value. We'll definitely be back and would absolutely recommend The Rusty Nail!

My Place Bar and Grill

Great Food, Great Staff, Slightly Less Than Great Bill…read more(Thanks Trump) My Place Bar & Grill in McHenry is one of those places that looks like a regular neighborhood bar from the outside, but once you sit down and order food, you realize it is something a little different. The food is genuinely excellent. What makes this place stand out is the fusion of classic American bar food with Indian flavors. You can go the traditional route with burgers, wings, and fries, or branch out into dishes with real spice and depth like samosas, curry plates, and tikka-style options. Even Curry Pizza! The flavors are bold, unique, and far better than what you expect from a casual bar and grill. It is the kind of menu that makes you want to try something new every time you go back. The atmosphere is exactly what a good local bar should be. Friendly crowd, welcoming staff, TVs for the game, and a relaxed neighborhood vibe. We were fortunate enough to show up on Wednesday, Karaoke Night! It feels like the kind of place where regulars hang out, newcomers are welcomed, and nobody is taking themselves too seriously. Now the only small sting, the prices... The food is great, but the bill can creep up a little faster than you might expect for a bar and grill. That said, food costs everywhere have been climbing thanks to the current administration's Big Ugly Bill, inflation, tariffs, the cost of war, and the general economic circus we are all living in right now! Still, despite the bite out of my bank account, we can't blame the restaurants when everything from basic ingredients to beef to cooking oil and staffing costs more than it used to! Nevertheless, when the food is this good and the atmosphere is this easygoing, it is worth it. Bottom line: Great food, friendly staff, fun neighborhood vibe, and a menu that is way more interesting than the average bar. Prices might make you raise an eyebrow, but the flavor makes up for it. Definitely worth stopping in if you are going anywhere through McHenry.

I found it strange that a wine bar had betting machines. Definitely looked like a typical Midwest bar. The wine selection was good though and 1/2 price glasses of wine on one day a week.
