    Spicy chicken sandwich with Cajun fries
    Robyn W.

    Believe it or not, we came back again on Thursday night. My son is a band teacher in the area, and this was concert week. Thursday night was trivia night, and the vibe was still great. Shout out to our server, Lisa, who gave us the absolute BEST service! I built my own burger this time and went with the grass fed beef. It still needed more seasoning, to my taste, but overall, this was definitely a five star meal. The sweet potato fries my son ordered honestly pushed it into five star territory for me. The fries were thick cut and fresh, with a sweet dip that was divine.

    Patio dining year round!!

    I have to say we haven't been to Cobbs in a while, but we will be back soon. Our server Lisa was amazing, friendly and quick with anything we needed. The food was amazing, so tasty and came to the table super fast! We sat in the heated patio which has a great ambiance!! Do yourself a favor go give this place a try their specialty burgers are honestly some of the most delicious I have ever had! Say hello to Lisa for us if you're lucky enough to get her as your server!!

    Cobb's Totchos

    This seems like it is probably a pretty neat place on the right night. Stunning location right on the river, beautiful main floor patio space and outdoor balcony on the 2nd floor. We visited on a Monday evening, so the place was understandably slow. The band that was there for cinco de mayo was just packing up. Our waiter was welcoming and seemed eager - even with it being so late. He let us know that we had about an hour until the kitchen closed and got in a round of drinks and our food in quickly. Exactly what I'd expect for a slow night, but now always what you get. The margaritas a few in our party got were exceptional (their review). Our server let us know they are so popular they batch make their margs and put them in kegs to serve on tap. Our apps were great. The Totchos were SO tasty - crispy tots and loaded with toppings. The gooey cheese on top was delicious. The fried pickles were okay. Not exceptionally crispy but they were flavorful. Overall a great experience, good food, great location, great service. Would love to return on a busier night to experience the difference!

    Fried pickles, cheese curd and matcha lemonade at dc cobbs
    Katherine D.

    Fried pickles you get a decent amount for $10 which is awesome, but the flavor is bland. The cheese curds you get a very small amount and they are also bland. The matcha lemonade was amazing though!!! The bartender was very nice. The music is also pretty slow....... It is Sunday but I did expect more for the weekend. The place is clean and they have a cute outdoor area open In the summer.

    Aperol Spritz
    Cassie E.

    We had a reservation and they sat us early. The servers were very kind. The atmosphere was like an elevated sports bar. It had big TVs playing different games. The food was pretty good. The sweet potato fries were delicious and served with a cinnamon butter. The burger was very juicy. I thought the imprint on the brioche bun was a nice touch. The aperol spritz was also tasty.

    Cheeseburger and salad
    Robert B.

    Went there had 4 different appetizers(Italian beef egg rolls, fried pickles, buffalo cauliflower and pretzel rolls) and 2 different types of burgers(The BMF and your basic cheeseburger). The food was cooked to order and everyone enjoyed it. The service was very good, but this place gets a little noisy. I recommend D.C.Cobb's!

    D.C. Cobbs Burger with fries
    Kelsey B.

    I've been here a couple times and have always enjoyed my food - my personal favorite is the D.C. Cobb burger! This is a great spot for groups, and they have a menu that's very accommodating for different diets (vegetarian, gluten free). They also had a great beer selection, and our server was very helpful in walking us through the different options.

    Groundhog
    Ashley H.

    Came for a show at the vixen grabbed dinner prior. Got the groundhog burger ordered it med rare it came well done. Luckily I ordered sweet potato fries that came with a dip which helped w the burger. I would try it again but really emphasize the meat temperature

The live music was a local guy, pretty good! Found out he was just 15!!! We didn't eat here but the food coming out looked amazing, next time!

    We've been driving back-and-forth and we saw the building being beautifully rehabbed a year ago and…read morefinally it opened and we always wanted to give it a shot "sometime". We have heard mixed reviews, but not in the positive sense but we still wanted to give it a try because we like to keep the money local if possible. We always attempt to support our local restaurants and businesses nearby first beforehand. That "sometime" became today, and it was full of regret. The first thing we noticed is that the outside lamps were really dirty. Full of cobwebs... I mean Really dirty- and for a building in that new of a condition? That should have been a clue, but we decided to still give the courthouse a try. We had the margarita flatbread, which was OK and two Arnold Palmer's. After that, it all went downhill from there. We were given dirty napkins to eat with: yes it had food chunks & stains caked on it from the previous user we'd assume: Disgusting... But we didn't complain. Why? Because we thought it was a fluke... (dismiss- for now) The place was not busy at all. There was only one table other than us occupied, and three people sitting together at the bar and Abigail served us, but after the flatbread was served by the runner, she never checked on anything else (only asked if we were ready to order- okay -another pass) We noticed in between times) She was more interested being on her phone than the patrons who "could pay her way", and we waited for 40 minutes after our order had been placed to have something else to eat. Yes. It took that long: I ordered the steak burger (medium)and my wife ordered the 5 hot wings and we waited. And waited. No "pulse check"... we sat there waiting. On a Sunday.... We finally noticed that Abigail finally went back.... and then brought out our food, which was by that time: cold. We believe she knew it was out there, and yet she still served us. (Huge problem) My steak burger I asked for was overcooked and grey looking. It was under like warm. The cheese had dried under the heat lamp, so it is of our opinion the staff & Abigail forgot our order and let it sit out for at least 10 to 15 minutes under the heat lamp in the back. When it came out, the fries were overcooked and again... they must have been sitting there for over 10 min or so..., and it was such a disappointing cold mess. And yet: After seeing this mistake, she still served us thinking we'd still eat it? We stated we didn't want the order anymore, (pointed out the issues) and instead of asking to maybe comp the flatbread (refire our meals again)or something like that (she could see we were not happy)or apologize for the mistake, she just told us that she just took off the burger and the hot wings and rang us up like nothing happened and it was our fault. It is our opinion that She did NOT care at all about the situation. As if we were bothering her to do her job that we came to visit to help inject money into the local business. She was totally disconnected, and in fact, she had taken a check from the table near us, and she had forgot to ring his check up. So he too, was waiting for about 10 to 15 minutes with his son at the table, before she finally realized that she still had his credit card and hadn't ran it to be processed or debited.... We really want to give this place a nice try, but after this, we won't be back. Such a bad experience for a local business near us. What a disappointment.

While the hardworking people on the breakfast diner side are actually doing their jobs, being professional, the food tasted amazing. The bar is a complete and utter disaster run by people who clearly hate their customers. The "service" if you can even call it that is a complete joke. The bartender, Marella, is quite literally the most unpleasant person I've ever encountered in the service industry. She is rude, dismissive, and puts on this fake, plastic persona that's transparent to everyone with a brain. She treats patrons like an inconvenience for simply existing and ordering a drink. It's honestly impressive how someone so miserable can keep a job in a public facing role. The management also contributes to the unwelcoming atmosphere. There is a palpable sense of elitism that makes regular patrons feel unwelcome. It often feels as though the establishment is run for a specific inner circle rather than the general public, leaving everyone else feeling like an outsider in what should be a community space. The quality of the offerings does not justify the high prices. Drinks often lack the proper proportions, and the overall value is poor compared to other establishments in McHenry. The contrast between the bar and the professional service found on the diner side is stark while the diner staff works hard to provide a positive experience, the bar side lacks that same commitment to customer satisfaction. The physical environment of the bar has also seen better days. Between the outdated decor and the general lack of upkeep, the space feels neglected. For anyone looking for a friendly environment with fair prices and professional service, looking elsewhere would be a better use of time and money. It is disappointing to see such a divide in quality within the same building.

Even the 'spicy' sauce for the tacos was bland. We had to request salt just to be able to eat what we ordered. However, the tableside guacamole and chips were good.

    Date of visit: December 13, 2025…read more I love a good Mexican place, and as much as I enjoy Carlos's, it is good to have other options for when I go to visit my friend in the McHenry/Spring Grove area. The restaurant is very large with a variety of seating options including some interesting swings. I say interesting because it's really more of a novelty than anything; honestly, do you really want to have a seat that moves while you're eating chips with salsa? The menu is interesting, with a heavy focus on birria (think brisket, if you're unfamiliar) including in a dipped/fried taco as well as a grilled cheese sandwich, which is what I went with. While the meat in the sandwich was good, there was very little cheese to speak of, and that should be an important component of a grilled...cheese. However the chips and salsa were excellent, with some of the best chips I've had in quite some time, they really taste like more. In terms of the salsa, they are not lying with the "Diablo" in their name. If you are not a fan of spicy, stay away from the salsas as even the mild is fairly potent after a few chips. Also note that sour cream is available but doesn't tend to come WITH things by default, so be prepared to ask for that if it's a key part of your Mexican meals. Also disappointing, the tacos come with raw onions on top. This isn't mentioned on the menu, and was a very unwelcome addition to the dish. Service was a bit of a mixed bag; Jasmine was nice and attentive but struggled on some aspects, including telling us what the three salsas were when she brought them to the table, and saying that birria was a "biscuit," which thoroughly confused us. She asked if we wanted more chips and we declined, but then she brought more anyways.
