    Italian beef
    Giovanni C.

    The beef was juicy and tender and the bread used had a garlic seasoning added to it which was a huge difference maker in setting it apart from other beefs. Very solid Italian beef, the fries are well seasoned as well. The powdered lemon cookies were crunchy and pretty good. The hazelnut shake was also enjoyable. Paid about $26 for everything. This definitely seems to be a local gem here in Woodstock

    I have been driving past this place for years and I finally stopped by because I do like my Italian beef sandwich's dipped with hot peppers. The place is basically like a Chicago burger and dog drive through/sit down fast food restaurant with some ice cream options. It's always amazed me that no pictures of the beef sandwich's were on yelp until about a year ago when beef is in the name. I have always wanted to stop for a beef sandwich so I stopped to take one home for dinner later and since I get my beef sandwich's dipped with hot peppers it will be in the same condition hours later, sloppy wet just like the time it was made so it will be ok. My beef was made as per my order dipped with hot gardenia peppers which is messy but the way I like them. The hot peppers came on the side which I didn't care for because I like them on the sandwich with all the flavors blending into the beef. I thought the beef sandwich was good but I thought the gravy/juice was a little week and not as flavorful as some of the better places that I have Been to but not bad.

    2 Chicago dogs and fries

    Ordered the 2 Chicago hot dog and French fry special. Definitely an above average experience. Food was hot fresh and fast. In this area and looking for a Chicago beef and hot dog place, give them a try.

    Cauliflower and the waffle looking fries
    Abhinav S.

    Stopped by here on our way back from Lake Geneva. Sandwiches are decent. The battered cauliflower are really good, try them if you can. They had these unique waffle kind of fries. But it just goes as far as looks, the fries were clearly the frozen kind and were a bit stale. The people who work there were friendly. Simple spot where you can't really go wrong with much. Decent place to clog your arteries

    I had a taste for a beef. and this did not disappoint!! The beef was loaded and a good size. The homemade fries were perfect! Clean place. I would definitely eat here again.

    I was visiting the greater Chicago area + the city for about 2 months. I was in search of the best Italian Beef sandwich as my girlfriend informed me that they just don't make that kinda thing outside of Chicago. We have a Portillo's here in LA, but that place is just meh. pretty overpriced for what it is and I can do better at home (minus the good bread) ---- but BEEF VILLAGE... is WHERE IT'S AT!! After a lot of googling, they have The Award for having the BEST Italian Beef sandwich in McHenry. I finally decided on my way back to California that I just had to try it. So before my long drive home, I stopped in and ordered a bit of everything. Holy Sh** -- This place is fantastic. Not only was it the best Italian Beef that I'd ever eaten -- the criss-cut fries have the perfect tecture. Hot and crunchy as F. I recommend the cheese fries. Also the best I've ever had. We also had the chicago dog which was amazing and there's something called a Pizza pocket? I think that's what it was called. OMG. It's delicious! As I'm writing this review, I am in California and want to go back to McHenry just to eat this stuff again. Last little note -- the owner and staff there were soooooo nice! Whether you're a local or somebody from outside the area looking for the perfect place to eat, I strongly recommend stopping into this little diner looking joint. Plenty of space to eat and lots of parking. I think I took photos but I'm on my computer. I will upload if I find!

    I had a gyros and my wife had a corned beef sandwich with cheese. Both were very good. Good service, good food, at reasonable prices.

    The only thing that made me more sick to my stomach was the price. Burger tasted like school lunch post Michelle Obama.

    Old school hot dog joint... the service was excellent- attentive, patient and friendly…read more Inside might look a little tired, mismatched basement furniture - but it worked here. We ordered the 2 dogs and fries for 8$ and as always- the Chicago Dog does not disappoint. We added funnel cakes for dessert but I wouldn't do that again- so, so greasy. We also tried the Greek salad wrap with chicken and I wouldn't order that again- feta, lettuce, olives and chicken w Greek dressing.

    Had some great cheap eats from this Crystal Lake drive thru and cafe. It has plenty of seating…read moreinside if wanting to eat immediately. Gianelli's is a long time local favorite. Most people get the hot dogs obviously. There's also lots of other grilled classics like burgers and that kind of stuff. Coming here the first time, know that it's pretty far away from the other popular places in town in the middle of nowhere almost. It's almost surrounded by nothing, but there's a few things around obviously. This is kind of close to the Snap-On plant. Look for that when coming here. The menu is mostly hot dogs but there's lots more to get though. It's $5 to get a veggie dog. With a combo it's $11 and includes a drink and fries. Cool. This is a way to get a lot for not a lot. Get some hot dogs and more from this classic drive in. It's on State Route 176 at Valley View Road. There's plenty for mystery meat eaters and vegetarians.
