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.

Everyone enjoyed their meals quite a bit, although no one was happy with the poppers as the jalapeños were inedible (far too rubbery to get your teeth through). We had a burger, chicken sandwich, patty melt and rueben- most with fries and one with tots. Again, everyone was super happy with their meals and the service was great! They allow pups on the patio, so we'll be sure to bring ours to our next visit. If you're in the area, be sure to check it Mary's!

For a decent hotdog, hamburger/sandwich. Basically your run-of-the-mill hot dog stand/fast food…read moreit'll work. It just depends on the time when you come. It seems the later that you are the food there is older. So I would recommend getting there for an early lunch to get the fresh items especially the fries. Even though it is "cooked", (later on) it just seems that the fry oil and everything else is overused by the end of the day so you may get that old oil aftertaste... Other than that, it's OK. It can be hit or miss depending on when you show up. Just my opinion... sometimes it's 4 stars, sometimes you are eating your food thinking, "Why?" Good Luck

My husband and I both had the ayce combo and added a cup of clam chowder soup. DELICIOUS! Serving size is large, and we're happily stuffed without additional servings. Definitely a no frills kind of place...kinda makes you feel like you're on a vacation! ALL the servers, bartenders and the host were super friendly and hard working, even when they were packed and pressured. Forgot to mention we drove 1 hour to get there, and an hour home in the pouring rain, but it was worth it. Loved Cullom Knoll, we will be back!

During the off season, we would try different fish fry's and use Vickies as the Gold standard. We were never asked how everything is, I suspect they know. such a shame, the hunt is on for a new Vickies Fish Fry.

Came fora quick lunch after a doggy play date…read more They had a a separate doggy patio which was clean and had lots of shade for the dogs. The servers were nice overall but definitely stuck to some tables over others. I did like that they had a dog menu and brought out bowls for each dog which was great. The chicken was up to my pup's standards and probably would have had 5 more if I let him. I got the Malibu chicken sandwich, it had good flavor just a little overcooked. Can't complain overall, food was good besides being a little dry. Overall it was a decent experience and we would come again, it had a nice atmosphere.

It does not seem like an owner or manager ever looks around to determine the general state of the place.
