I ordered their smash burger. It was good but not impressive. We had asked for sauce on the side, but I think they interpreted that as additional sauce on the side. The burger had sauce on it as well. The flavors were dominated by the sauce. Being a butcher shop I was hoping for a really good burger. I'd rate it average. We went a long way to visit and sadly while the staff is super friendly and helpful, what my sister and I ordered wasn't something we'd make the drive for to get again. Maybe we choose the wrong things. The parking for us was easy. The staff very friendly and helpful. The pizza on the bar looked dried out or outright burned so we stayed away from that. We were looking forward to something from their hot bar, but sadly it wasn't open on Sunday. We felt it was expensive for what we received and like I said earlier we had higher hopes. If you're in the area it's a good spot to stop, but we wouldn't make the trip to there specifically... It was good...not great. We had higher hopes.

Did I just find my new favorite bakery? Yessss!…read more Strong espresso! Gluten friendly treats! Excellent customer service! My son and I stopped at Lots-a-Knot before heading to the Wauconda Library. It's conveniently located in downtown Wauconda and is right down the street from the library. (Hear that parents? Get yourself a delicious espresso and little snack) I loved the Samoa latte with coconut and caramel. I got a medium with an extra shot of espresso bringing the count up to 3. It was strong and not overly sweet - the perfect balance. I devoured the pistachio twist (this name may be wrong) and almond orange cookie! My son loved the strawberry and hazelnut cookies too! While I was there I learned a little about the place, everything is made there, including the bread, using recipes passed down from family. I loved everything we've tried and cannot wait to go back! This is a family owned local business that deserves way more hype and love!

While waiting to pay at the register, no one acknowledged me--even though several employees were walking back and forth right in front of me without offering any help. The employee who prepared the sandwich apologized and explained that he had simply followed the order as it was given to him, which I appreciated and assured him I understood. However, when I asked for napkins, another staff member carelessly tossed them into the bag I was holding, which came across as quite rude. Overall, the lack of attentiveness and professionalism made this a very disappointing experience, and I would not return to this location.

There are four tables and a bar table with stools by the window. It was pretty busy when we walked in but the wait was not too bad. If your going to order a grilled sandwich make sure you tell them what toppings you want. My husband is used to the location by our house who put the toppings on after the sandwich is grilled. We ordered the Mike's Famous Philly in Giant size. The meat was not even. One side had way more meat. We had to ask for toppings and they put them in a separate bowl. Once we put the toppings on, it became an epic sandwich! We would definitely dine here again!

The 12" pizza + salads feed two people. The waiter praised the creamy basil soup and it will be next on my list to try. They offer gluten free crust, dairy free cheese & veggie options. I will be back & highly recommend to pizza lovers.

I don't hand out glowing reviews lightly…read more The food is the standout. The pizza is exceptional--perfectly cooked crust with toppings that are fresh, flavorful, and clearly high quality. Every bite feels deliberate, not just thrown together. The salads deserve just as much attention, which isn't always the case at pizza spots. They're fresh, vibrant, and with ingredients that actually taste like they were chosen with care rather than convenience. What really elevates this place, though, is the service. The staff is consistently attentive without hovering--friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in making sure you have a great experience. Management clearly sets the tone here; you can feel that level of care in how smoothly everything runs and how valued customers are made to feel. The manager went out of her way to make sure our allergy needs were met and never made us feel anything we requested was too much to ask. She cared. It's rare to find a restaurant that executes so well across the board--food, service, and atmosphere--but this one does it effortlessly. Whether you're stopping in for a casual meal or something a bit more special, it delivers every time. Highly recommend, and definitely a place I'll keep coming back to.

The atmosphere is always relaxed and fun, and the view of the lake is incredible. They offer a great selection of beers, seltzers, and some wine options-- I just tried their canned Hugo spritz and it was delicious.
