I'm going to order pizza and review it once I settle more in my new place. So far Spring Grove has never disappointed me. I used to vacation near here as a kid and we would always get excited to go camping at our site. I gotta say I never saw it coming! I did notice that a lady at the bar ordered a nice Italian Beef, it looked full and pleasing to the eye. She made it half way through and wrapped up the rest for her husband to finish for his late night snack which I found charming. I think I called her a better woman than I! Another guy was having something at the end of the bar but I didn't notice it. There were a couple of people in the front dining room and nobody on the patio, but I suspect that it is a different story in the evenings. Tons of televisions, sporty decor, clean bathroom, spotless kitchen and a fun menu. I will be back. I like getting pizza for takeout and sharing it with the beau walking back. It's exercise we agree upon.

Haven't visited much since new ownership took over so decided to return for 1/2 price pizza on…read more7-27-26. A familiar waitress was our server and that a definite plus Food came quickly as usual minus the cornmeal on the bottom of pizza ( not a problem for us) everything was great tasting and service great as well. Then came the bill... large thin crust meatlovers is advertised on the menu for $28. The bill charged us $18 instead of $14. Our other pizza was also priced not at a 50% discount. Asked our server if she could explain this difference she said when she started her shift she was told to ring things up this new way. Basic pizza is 50% off but all toppings are charged at regular price. That includes the specialty pizzas listed on the menu for a specific price. We figured we were charged $8 more than usual under this new policy. I'm not looking to get anyone in trouble just looking to expose what I think is false advertising. The original owner served true 1/2 price pizza and filled the restaurant last night the restaurant was really empty. I hope this isn't going to happen with other special nights ! It would be a real shame to lose a great restaurant that has a bar in a town where the normal is to have a bar that just happens to serve some food! Don't let this happen!

The bartender." Falon." Was super friendly and just a genuinely nice person. What's lacking in this location is beer on tap. they only serve bottles. They do claim to sell pizza as they're only food item but they were out the night that I was there. I will be back and hopefully can upgrade my review as I really need a local place and this would be perfect.

I am not the late night club customer. Food is consistently 3 star. That isn't a discredit to them, it is what their menu is. The preparation is consistent. The bartender/ wait staff service on the other hand ranges from a sub zero to 5 star. If you want miserable service, show up between 4:45pm and 5:15pm on a Friday during "shift change" of the bartenders at the outside bar (an odd time to change over all the bartenders). Pre 4:45 generally great service at the bar. Post 5:00..hit or miss. Away from the bar outside, totally hit or miss (not because of lack of staffing). Inside, consistently top notch.

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.

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.
