    Had a great time! Bartender was very sweet. People were playing pool while others were sitting at the bar.

Taco Tuesday is a great deal and fun. The bar is great with a good variety of beer and standard whiskey etc. Owners are the most down to earth folks. Like other Grayslake establishments, they belong in our town. Now in need to get me some wings.

Our server did check in twice and let us know the food should be coming out soon, which we appreciated. When the meals arrived, the portions--especially the meat--were smaller than expected. The food tasted fine overall, but the long wait and portion size made the experience underwhelming, and we're not especially eager to return.

    If you want to eat grilled food with your favorite drink on the lake, go to Famous Freddie's. If…read moreyou want to dance the night away, also go to Famous Freddie's. I've gone during the day and at night and I love the environment during both. During the day is when you really get to enjoy that it's on the lake. The outdoor seating is so nice and there's also a large covered bar outside if you need more shade. Waitresses will take your drink orders, but you do have to go inside to order food. They have the order numbers on display outside too though so you can go back to your table and wait instead of standing inside. My seasoned vet friends told me I had to try the kabobs and definitively, I will never not order the kabob when I'm here. Also the shrimp with cocktail sauce are the perfect lake day bite and they'll give those to you as soon as you order. The vibe definitely shifts at night and is a much younger crowd with everyone hanging out upstairs either at the bar or on the dance floor. The DJ always plays good music that you just want to sing along to, but the nights can be hit or miss as far as it being packed or not. Either way it's always fun. Everyone on staff is pretty helpful and they add to the fun. The vibes are just right. Price wise, you may spend $20+ a person for food but it's great quality and sooo good. The drink prices are pretty normal for the area/being on the lake. The last time I went on a Sunday there were some ambassadors that were giving out drink samples too so even if you feel like drinks are pricey, you might catch a break by getting a chance to try a drink or two. Freddie's also owns the Airbnbs next door so you can rent those out and spend the whole weekend out here.

    The bar itself is huge and lots of space for hanging out and having drinks. Plenty of docks to tie…read morethe boat when out for the day. However, weird setup with food and drinks. The food is inside, like a cafeteria style setup, but the food isn't horrible. Tiny menu but not terribly expensive either. But they allow you to sit outside all the way down the stairs and you have to go all the way back upstairs to order and get food. I just felt like this could be a way better set up and enjoy food by the water.

    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.
