Everyone enjoyed their meals quite a bit, although no one was happy with the poppers as the jalapeños were inedible (far too rubbery to get your teeth through). We had a burger, chicken sandwich, patty melt and rueben- most with fries and one with tots. Again, everyone was super happy with their meals and the service was great! They allow pups on the patio, so we'll be sure to bring ours to our next visit. If you're in the area, be sure to check it Mary's!

0/5 Stars I cannot…read moreemphasize this enough: STAY AWAY from the bar side of this building. While the hardworking people on the breakfast diner side are actually doing their jobs, being professional, the food tasted amazing. The bar is a complete and utter disaster run by people who clearly hate their customers. The "service" if you can even call it that is a complete joke. The bartender, Marella, is quite literally the most unpleasant person I've ever encountered in the service industry. She is rude, dismissive, and puts on this fake, plastic persona that's transparent to everyone with a brain. She treats patrons like an inconvenience for simply existing and ordering a drink. It's honestly impressive how someone so miserable can keep a job in a public facing role. The management also contributes to the unwelcoming atmosphere. There is a palpable sense of elitism that makes regular patrons feel unwelcome. It often feels as though the establishment is run for a specific inner circle rather than the general public, leaving everyone else feeling like an outsider in what should be a community space. The quality of the offerings does not justify the high prices. Drinks often lack the proper proportions, and the overall value is poor compared to other establishments in McHenry. The contrast between the bar and the professional service found on the diner side is stark while the diner staff works hard to provide a positive experience, the bar side lacks that same commitment to customer satisfaction. The physical environment of the bar has also seen better days. Between the outdated decor and the general lack of upkeep, the space feels neglected. For anyone looking for a friendly environment with fair prices and professional service, looking elsewhere would be a better use of time and money. It is disappointing to see such a divide in quality within the same building.

It does not seem like an owner or manager ever looks around to determine the general state of the place.

It also is a place to get your eating on, if you like the greasy stuff. Also a place to watch games. The bathrooms are horrible but that adds charm to the old place. A ramshackle looking kind of place upon going in. It's actually better than many of the other bars in town. This is located pretty close to the lake but it's still a bit of a walk. Of course it's popular in warmer months. The locals take over at other times. It's about $7 for a basic cocktail. They have the usual types of whiskey. It's about $5 to get an appetizer. The most interesting of these is the Beer Fries. Among the entrees are burgers. There's a few other things for those brave enough. For certain it's one of the local hangouts to get booze. It's got the basic bar foods. This is open daily and even better it's also later.
