This place has some of the best hamburgers in McHenry County! I've never been disappointed with either the food or the service. I had the Kaboom Burger with cheddar cheese and crispy onion straws, seasoned with a great spicy kick--absolutely delicious. They also have a great drink selection whether you're in the mood for craft beer, cocktails, or soda. The seating is comfortable, and the outdoor patio is a great touch with plenty of extra space. read more

Tracks - The best scrumptious, hamburger and onion rings - Burgers Near Me - Cary, Illinois

The best burgers here! I order mine gluten free without the bun, and then get a side salad to make it a burger salad. You can also get chicken with a salad but make sure to tell them no croutons. Unfortunately I could not have any of the fries bc they are coated in flour which sucks for those that have celiac. Would be awesome if they just had a few more options. read more

Not recently, back when I was playing softball. I want to revisit tracks again. The menu and atmosphere was good then, I will bet it's even better now! Service was always very friendly, that's what made tracks a great place to relax! read more

The Tracks continues to be one of my favorite local go-to restaurants. They offer various specials, including 5, $5 sliders on Tuesday, which are delicious! If you like an old-fashioned, the bartender Celeste makes an amazing one and she always has a smile on her face! I will continue to be a regular at this place! If you have never visited the Tracks it's time to stop by! read more

Went to tracks yesterday I have eaten there many times I especially go for the fish fry. I've always thought it was one of the best around. I'm from the Mary times in Canada and have grown up eating a tremendous amount of cod and always thought it was great last night. Something was really off my friend and I ordered the fish fry and the fish was so dry and tasteless. We did mention it into the server, she brought us a few new pieces that were even dry. I did ask if they changed their distributor is the worst card I ever had. I couldn't even eat it so very disappointed not sure what's up. It used to be so good. read more

Delicious fish fried to crispy perfection..generous portions (and it's "all you can eat ") ..my only complaint is - I wish they add some bright side to it instead of creamy tartar sauce and creamy coleslaw - sharp Asian coleslaw or pickles would be welcome contrast to fried fish and French fries ...but I understand that's what most places are serving. Place was packed with patrons ..Friday afternoon duh..classic loud tavern atmosphere...good food and beer read more

Love this place and the food is always so good but..... WHY DID YOU STOP MAKING THE HOMEMADE CHIPS??? They were so delicious and one of the reasons we loved coming. read more

I was at Tracks today for the second time and it is now officially my favorite restaurant in the northwest suburbs! Here are some of my thoughts: -The service is top notch for a bar food atmosphere. -The burger menu is very creative: italiano, peppercorn, olive, etc. -I ordered the italiano burger and I don't have enough superlatives (best, greatest, etc.) to accurately describe it. -The burger comes with a very good pickle, red peppers, pesto mayo, and I substituted mozzarella for provolone cheese. Great combo! -They gave me a boatload of fries, very good too. Highly, highly recommended if you're looking for a great burger! read more

Located in downtown Cary,this establishment has been a staple in this town for many years. Went for an early Saturday meal and were seated immediately. The staff and service were great. We had a large party and they had no problem with separate checks. Started with the Big Bang Shrimp appetizer and Italian Beef Egg Rolls. Both were flavorful and big enough to share. The au jus dipping sauce along with their homemade horseradish sauce for the egg rolls were amazing. Shared the Big Bucket of Burgers which were sliders topped with American Cheese over a bucket of fries. Big enough for 3-4 people. Also had the Chicken and Candied Pecan Salad that was bursting with flavor from dried cranberries, celery, mandarin oranges,blue cheese and a tangy vinaigrette. Again,big enough to share. Will definitely be back to try their burger creations or some of their Daily Specials. A real gem in downtown Cary. read more

Went in at 1 o'clock on a Saturday afternoon as a solo diner. Order just a cheeseburger and fries, waited for under 45 minutes and still no food. Was hoping to come in for a quick lunch during the break at my job, but couldn't stay any longer. The waitress was very apologetic, but that was absolutely unacceptable from the kitchen staff. I get that the restaurant was busy, but the fact they couldn't accommodate a solo diner and push out a quick cheeseburger and fries while I saw other people who had ordered after me getting their food is not right. I work in restaurants and I'm usually pretty forgiving, but this was a terrible experience and I will not recommend people go here because of this. read more

BBQ jacked up and Maui burger. Tasty would definitely go back. Good quality meat. Cooked to perfection. Ever bite was better and better. A must visit for burger enthusiasts! Tracks has been around for 40 years happy to stumble across this gem. Ambiance was a-little dark. Service was good everyone was very welcoming. read more

Tracks - BBQ jacked up and Maui burger. - Burgers Near Me - Cary, Illinois

It's got this really neat vibe all hightop tables and a bar area when you first walk in, but they also have regular tables further inside. Finding parking was a bit of a mission ended up parking at the BMO bank, fingers crossed they don't tow me!, but it was totally worth it. The service was super friendly and fast, and there are tons of TVs everywhere, with great music playing softly in the background. The place is super clean and has a really nice atmosphere.Now, the food! Oh my goodness. I tried the Fire Jack burger the patty was HUGE and cooked perfectly. Seriously delicious! I also got the Stinging Hot Honey Chicken, which was tasty and a good-sized portion. The Jacked Up BBQ burger was a winner too. I also ordered the Italiano burger, but it wasn't quite my favorite could have used a little more salt, but everything else was fantastic.Overall, I had a blast! Highly recommend checking it out if you're in the area. Five stars from me! read more

First off I want to be very clear. I did not come here in hopes of getting my dog inside this bar and as a responsible dog owner, I don't bring my dog where dogs aren't allowed. Tracks looks like a nice establishment inside, but we ordered takeout because I have a dog. And someone from the Neighbourhood recommended it highly. I'm waiting out in front of the building. Their door clearly says no dogs allowed in the biggest font you can imagine, it's actually a slightly bigger font than the name, so already I know they're not fond of dogs, and that's totally fine! But as I'm standing in front of the restaurant, clearly not going in and clearly waiting for something. I'm not at the door. I'm not even on the steps to the door, man walked up and said "what's happening here?" in a kind of gruff tone. He said "you know we don't allow dogs in here". I was really taken aback and thought he was just a grouch. I said politely that's why I'm waiting for my order outside. He huffed away and mumbled something else rude that I didn't fully catch, but that he didn't have the nerve to say to my face. M,e a paying Customer waiting for my order from his restaurant. In the time we had been standing out there, not in the way of anybody, every single couple or family that came out has been excited to see the dog and pet her and we had friendly exchanges about owning dogs and having dogs and that their dog is going to be jealous now that they've pet this one. Yada, yada, yada so we actually created a positive experience for the people that came and went from the restaurant. It's a bummer that the owner or manager or whoever the tall, heavyset, bald man is, had to be so incredibly rude to somebody who was actually waiting for food that we had just paid for in his establishment. My friend went in and ordered so at no time were we ever in the restaurant. No shade to the service people or the Cook or the establishment itself, but a lesson in making assumptions and being a less than kind proprietor. read more

I agree with the other post Something has changed with the burgers It's like a ball and does not fill the bun Hard to eat. I went for fish fry and out of fish at 7:45 pm. Settled for the burger which normally is great . Highly disappointed read more

Last Friday we went with our friends to celebrate a birthday. We had a mushroom burger, chili, salad, and a regular burger. All the food was wonderful. The best of all was our waitress, Emma! She was very attentive to every need and very nice as well. She always checked to see what we needed and let us linger a bit to visit we never felt rushed. We are definitely going back again and asking specifically for Emma. This was our second time with her as our waitress, and she remembered us! read more

Service was a little slow during a lunch rush at about 1 (which was a little surprising that the place was so full on a non-holiday Friday afternoon. Their Bloody Mary's weren't too special (and didn't have any garnishes--it wasn't a Sunday for their special loaded ones, but no celery or pickle or anything was a bit strange). The cheddar cheese balls were pretty decent, as was the mushroom burger. Plenty of mushrooms on it for sure. The restaurant itself was a little dark for the hour, but everyone seemed friendly and a lot of chatter was going on. It was bordering on close to too loud, but that's no fault of the business--except that it's doing very well for itself! We'll probably go back again at some point (even with the 40 minute drive) just to try the bucket of burgers! read more

I cannot think of enough good adjectives to describe dining at Tracks. Every time we eat there, the food is outstanding, the service is great and the dining area is clean. We love to eat on the "porch"... very laid back and comfortable. The burgers are amazing. My son, the chicken finger king, always orders Thomas's Potato Skinz Burger; with the exception of a burger made at home, this is the only burger he will eat. My husband has tried several off the menu and has enjoys them all. Don't miss the pretzel sticks as an appetizer. Yummy! read more

I have been living in Cary for over 3 years and I've always heard wonderful things about tracks! We finally decided to give it a try because we are really wanting to try the fish fry and a burger but I know they get super busy on Fridays. We are able to get there around 2. I am handicapped in a wheelchair so I was a little worried that I wouldn't be able to get in. I could not find a contact phone number to call them. Luckily they have a nice side side door that the gentleman was able to open up and hold the door to help me and thank you. I appreciate the kindness! From the minute, we sat down the we knew this was gonna be a good place, the ambience and the open air inside is so nice on a beautiful September day! We were greeted by an AMAZING server! Friendly upbeat, and very personable. Kelly is absolutely amazing! We let her know this was our first time and she was so happy for us to be there. Being handicap can be hard people like to stare. Kelly didn't judge and neither did any of the other people they were all great! Service was phenomenal!! As to the food 10 out of 10 !! The burger was gigantic flavor was amazing! I couldn't believe the fish fry the cod was lightly battered and cooked as it was ordered! It came out and I've never tasted such fresh fish from a fish fry. I absolutely recommend! You will love it too! If you wanna try it and really enjoy your time there I suggest Friday around 2 is a perfect time. We really enjoyed our first time and can't wait to go back! Ask for Kelly if you're looking for someone who really pays attention to your needs, that's upbeAt and personable. She's the girl for you! Our drinks were never empty and I always had plenty of fish. Thanks again Kelly for a great first time. I hope you see this and we'll see you again!!! read more

We had a burger and sliders. And two beers. The meal was just what we wanted. The burger are hand made no pre made hockey pucks. The staff was very nice and friendly. It was very busy for a Tuesday night. We sat on the patio and it was warm. But a good spot to sit. The bathroom wow they have the best to paper I have ever had in any place every they win an award for taking care of patrons. Go support a local business that makes hand made food read more

Popular for a reason this spot in Cary is as expected along the railroad tracks. They have a huge bar area and an outdoor patio in addition to the sports bar dining room lined with TVs. It's a good spot to meet up with family and friends because the menu has something for everyone. Our server was sharp and efficient and obviously had lots of experience. There were 11 of us and all of our food came out pretty quickly for a busy Saturday afternoon. They have daily specials and on Saturday it is a boasted chicken dinner. Half of our group ordered various burgers which looked amazing. I dropped one star because there were no gluten free options listed on the menu so I had a salad. It was a really impressive salad for a sports bar but sadly I had to pick out croutons that were not listed on the ingredients of this salad on the menu. If you're not gluten free this is a solid choice for groups, families and sports fans. read more

I have driven past Tracks no less than 100 times and I'm so glad I finally came in. First, it's so much bigger than I thought it would be inside. Lots and lots of tables as well as the front bar. Because it's downtown, parking can be a little bit of a pain point, but at least there's plenty of lots. We posted up for a few different appetizers which were all good & eventually ordered some burgers. We were eyeing the bucket of burgers on the menu thinking "how is that even possible?!" so, we had to see it for ourselves. It truly is a bucket of (mini) burgers. It could easily feed 4-5 people, with hella fries. All burgers we tried were super tasty - and there are sooo many to choose from. My only wish for this place is to have a beer menu. I just kinda took a shot in the dark based on what was written on a wall menu, but it'd be cool to have one, even if it's just a QR code. read more

Burgers are not nearly as good as they used to be, and they are shaped more like huge meatballs than flat patties. You can't even take a full bite when the bun is on. The quality of the beef has gone down and they have changed the fries again. Now they are coated with flour, so my wife can't eat them because they are not gluten free. We asked for chips instead and were told that they no longer serve them because they are too expensive. They listed other sides she could have so she picked the salad. When we got the bill, they had added $3 for it. This was our favorite burger place, but we won't be going back. read more

Food is great especially the burgers, fish and chicken wings! They serve you the regular size chicken wings and they are very tasty! They compare yo what you would eat in one of Chicago's fine dinning restaurants. And I had the best server! Her name is Randie! The very best! She makes you feel so relaxed and at home! I always look for her when I go there! read more

This is an awesome little neighborhood pub, always active and fun. The food they serve is honest, reliable and a great value. We have been there several times, always consistent, you will never leave hungry. Great variety on the menu. Very well done for such a little joint. Huge juicy burgs. Well done tracks read more

We celebrated my girlfriend's birthday at Tracks and it was absolutely perfect!

Always the best food, quick and excellent service, and great location. Best restaurant in Cary no questions asked.

Ahh, the burger! It may be at the top of the popularity list of items that people seek out to find "the best of". I myself really love hamburgers and have been to many places that have a reputation for serving especially good ones. I should also say that in general, if I'm eating at a place I'm unsure of or even leery of, I consider the hamburger to be a fairly safe menu choice. Tracks Bar & Grill is definitely one of those burger specialty places, and it lives up to its reputation. I had lunch there with 3 friends and it was excellent! I opted for the Grandpa's Favorite Burger and it was delicious. It was cooked perfectly, and the brioche bun was fresh and flavorful. The friends I ate with our veterans here, but it was my first time. The variety of burger choices is huge. We all loved our food. My fries were excellent and the beer was cold. The service was great and friendly. It's not close to my home, but I will be back. read more

Tracks - Grandpa's Favorite Burger - Burgers Near Me - Cary, Illinois

Been coming here as a day outing for decades. No free parking now...for the entire downtown? Have to pre-pay parking tab on a meter with a credit card! Used to love this place, came specifically for the Broasted chicken, but their method has likely changed, and now it might possibly be just deep fried overcooked bland oily chicken. Maybe their pressure fryer broke down? The place has changed a little bit. People make an effort to get her and hunt for meters to park at. Bank has signs that they can and will tow you. The place is not so accommodating anymore. Waitress would not sub a little iceberg side salad for my fried potato and slaw. They used to do this for me. I spent almost 30 bucks a person on this meal and left disappointed. Walked in 90 degree blazing heat, several blocks to paid by the hour parking spot. C'mon Tracks, make it laid back and nice for the customers again!!! I want to come here again and give another try, but am also at a loss for what to do when the parking meters around here are full. Ideas...anyone? read more

Fantastic burgers, fast service, and a super cute atmosphere! The burgers were juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. The staff was friendly and quick, making the whole experience even better. Whether you're grabbing a quick bite or hanging out with friends, this place is a must-visit. Highly recommend! read more

Food was fine but not great. Service was a little slow especially for a Thursday and it wasn't crowded. I know staffing is difficult these days and put it down to that. I was surprised that they only offered a regular margarita on the rocks (not frozen) seeing as they seemed to have a full bar. My girlfriend and I arrived around 5pm. I will try it again though. read more

Everything is excellent the specials are well worth the train trip from Chicago. The servings are more than ample. I recommend Tracks.

The food the price the service the reputation the locality very convenient I've been going here 41 years and love the owner and his family
