Went back 2 nights in a row. The Country Bowl is incredible. I had it over steamed veggies. The pot roast has great crust and the mushroom gravy has excellent flavor and really compliments the pot roast. The next night I tried the kabob dinner and bowl of chili. Both were great. The chicken kabobs are seasoned well and are grilled perfectly. Chili was homemade and hit the spot on this single digit night. read more

Not bad but nothing special either. I've had better gyros from the food truck at Lily lake.

Today we were in the area and decided to stop in for lunch. It has been a year since we left a review. The dining room is the same and very clean! The person who took our order was really nice and professional as always! I ordered the 1/2 slab of ribs it came with a side salad, a 6" piece of corn on the cob, and fries which I upgraded to the baked potato for $1 more. The baked potato was quartered and a huge potion size so definitely worth the extra $1. The 1/2 slab of ribs had about 7 bones... so you got a decent amount! My husband ordered the Italian beef and added Provolone cheese for 65 cents which was well worth it! I posted a video for each of our food items. We loved our food and would definitely order it again! read more

Normally don't like giving bad reviews. Hopefully was on off day but I've had many gyro sandwiches. Unfortunately this was not up to par.

Its always a hit or miss here. I got a italian beef . The bun was hard like stale. Not enough beef on it. When i say that its bad because i usually take some off. Im sorry should never have a stale bun for any sandwiches why serve that. Even dipping it in extra au just didn't help. The fries were different then last time too. Didn't care for them. I really want to like them read more

Interesting concept. I had loaded baked potato - son had one of their bowls. Potato was undercooked and a bit hard - cheese sauce was flavorless. Bowl came with fries and instead of a bowl felt more like loaded fries. Beef patty tasted odd. Would most likely would give it another go, read more

Way too expensive for crappy food. You could go to a nice sit down restaurant for the same price!

The food is good here. I really didn't like the online ordering process so I went to the store so I could get exactly what I wanted. Too bad I couldn't get a beer to go. When I do eat there the video slots at my treat for clearing my plate. read more

The waffle fries are the best in the area. Also I highly suggest the meatball sandwich!

I got the skirt steak sandwich and a side of mashed potatoes. The mashed potatoes were a little disappointing. Tasted like a box mix and could have used some salt, BUT THE SKIRT STEAK omg it was so good i highly recommend it. I wish I lived closer cause I would if I would get it often. read more

Such a Great place to eat at! Wonderful food too! I prefer casual places to eat. We had a pot roast meal & you get a ton of food! The roast was very tender & full of flavor. 2 huge scoops of mashed potatoes. I am not too good with posting pics & wish I did post a few. Anyway, delicious & though I live in Chicago, I do want to go back here to try different things such as a meat loaf dinner. Plenty of napkins which I luv! My only complaint is this: The veggie mix was not cooked enough. I like them very tender & they were too firm. That is not good for me! My hubby told them about it. So, I hope that the next time we eat there they are cooked more. Otherwise We loved everything about this charming place. Plenty of parking as well. Clean rest rooms. Clean restaurant. Friendly upbeat & kind service. I prefer ordering at the counter instead of getting waited on. With prices going up who wants to add a tip now? So this is nice. I can't wait to go there again soon! Go hungry as the portions are huge even if you share!! read more

Well, I shot my diet to hell. I guess it should not come as a surprise to me - eating at a place called Meat and Potato. But I am a meat and potato kinda guy, so I had to try it. And I'm so glad I did! I had the country bowl, which was pot roast, gravy, crispy onions, and shredded parmesan. On the menu, it is served over a bed of fries, but I tweaked it, and had them serve it over mashed potatoes. I really enjoyed it, and highly recommend swapping out the fries for mashed potatoes. This is a fast-food restaurant, but it is high-quality food. The restaurant was clean, and service was fast and friendly. I will definitely be back (I'll just have to make sure I hit the gym afterwards). read more

Meat & Potato Eatery-McHenry - The Country Bowl, but I swapped out the fries for mashed potatoes. YUM! - Sandwiches Near Me - Mchenry, Illinois

Meat and Potatoes is one of my favorite places to suggest when looking for tasty food out. It's not as cheap as some of the other options in the area, but goodness, is it good! I'm partial to their Country Bowl with pot roast, mashed potatoes and onion strings, but you really can't go wrong with this menu. You get a very generous amount of food. For me, a bowl can go for at least two meals-- though I must admit, I could have finished it in one sitting while I was pregnant! I've never dined in, but can say the food is packed well for carryout! It's always nice and warm, even if we're not terribly close to this location. Ordering online can be a challenge, so I'd recommend just ordering your food while there and giving yourself time to wait for it to be prepared. Meat and Potatoes has quickly become one of my favorite fast food places-- I think you'll like it! read more

Worst gyros I have ever had in my life. Meat is thick chunks of cubes. Then the sauce was just heavily scooped on top. This gyros was completely inedible and met the trash can. Called the shop to voice my displeasure and I was offered a replacement, I told them I will pass as I don't trust food after a complaint. Highly recommend not eating here if a basic gyros cannot be made. read more

Great for a fast, indulgent meaty meal. Have received nothing but fantastic customer service. Relatively fast.

Too expensive, value not there. $3.29 for a large fountain drink the same size as a small or medium elsewhere. Did McHenry raise the price of water? Sides are all over $5. Didn't even give them a try due to price. read more

Pretty good food for the price. Have ordered the beef bowl and gyro meal and was not disappointed. Sometimes portions are just okay and other times they are great. Funnel cake fries are amazing but go cold fast if delivered. read more

Staff was fabulous, friendly and just good. Food was tasty and good portions. The fries were fresh. Friends first time. He enjoyed it and said he will go back. We had a gyro , and a beef sandwich chili cheese fries and reg fries. read more

All I ordered was 3 servings of mashed potatoes with gravy on the side. Plus, extra gravy. The potatoes were lukewarm , as well as the gravy. Did not receive the extra gravy I requested. I will not be returning read more

We tried this as a spur of the moment meal. It was a decent, unique option. We enjoyed the fries and it was overall a positive experience. The sundaes were good as well! We will likely return at some point! read more

The staff was fantastic and the food was great! We were a little put off from the signs out front, it made it look like it was only an arcade that kinda sold food but we ended up enjoying our time read more

This place is what I would like all food places to be, great food CONSTANTLY. I just moved to McHenry last month and I've eaten here at least SIX times already! The skirt steak and ribs dinners are delicious, and the baked potatoes are massive but I still demolish the whole thing. And don't get me started on their baklava!! It's addictive, to put it mildly. I am so glad I found this gem. Just TRY this place. EPIC! read more

Amazing service! Amazing food! Amazing people ! Great salad and great portions of food! Totally recommend 10/10!

A friend mentioned she was ordering for from Meat & Potato for dinner. Not ever tried here, asked her how it was, she said the food is great. After leaving her business my wife said we should try it, so we ordered for carry out. I've gotta say our friend was absolutely right! We tried the meat loaf dinner and the pot roast dinner, the food was phenomenal. We'll be back to try the rest of the menu. read more

Was very dirty and the food wasn't very good, would not go back. The people were nice though.

The food is consistently good here. The employees are super kind, especially Sage. She always has a smile on her face, she greets you and thanks you. The restaurant is clean. The food always come out hot. When ordering out, they package everything really well so your food does not get soggy. read more

Saw their sign from the outside and it grabbed our attention to come in. It's a nicely decorated small space. We went in and ordered the chicken fajita press and chicken tenders with fries and a side of mashed potatoes. The food was overall decent, pretty much what you would expect. I really liked my chicken but found the sandwich a little difficult to eat. My boyfriend got the chicken tenders with mashed potatoes and fries. Their fries aren't anything to rave about, mashed potato was okay (tasted like what you would get in the school cafeteria),but chicken tenders were pretty good. Overall, I'd say I'd try to come back here to try something different since the pictures of their bowls look really good. read more

Wow! This turned out to be a great place! Fabulous gyro and sweet potato fries. Everything looked delicious!

I really enjoyed this place. It was clean, trendy, and the food was great. I ordered the Polish with mustard and grilled onions, but it was very difficult to choose. I'll have to go back! TIP - make sure you read the descriptions. I read the menu item "Manwich" and immediately disregarded it thinking it was sloppy Joe's. wrong! It's actually a pot roast sandwich on rye. Whoops. Anyway, careful choosing! read more

What takes over 20 minutes to prepare a gyros and fries? Absolutely unacceptable. Perhaps your staff should be more concerned with customers in the dining room instead of phone in orders. It's too bad, the food is actually good. Will not return. read more

This place is fine. We went here by accident, having the intention of going to the brunch restaurant that's awkwardly located around the back of this place. I thought that place was this place. I would have rather gone to the right place. This is just fast food. The people who work there are very nice. read more

This restaurant is amazing, are bathrooms are always clean I see customers in there enjoying their food and laughing & enjoying their. Sports..now the staff is amazing..but Jason who.is manager & Jolene are above outstanding, always polite, we laugh together have a very good Rapport Jason & Jolene always communicate with me the time frame of how long I will get my food, they totally understand my concern about picking up food for my customers working with door dash..jason goes over and above to make sure all their customers are happy..their absolutely my favorite place to come too, Ted the owner has a well.oiled staff between brunch cafe & meat and potatoes, your lucky Ted they are a fantastic people read more

This is a rare gem. I recently moved to the area, and even more recently to a new job in the area. That said, I needed a plan b when I forgot my lunch at home. M&P E more than filled the bill. I had a pulled pork bowl for lunch, and liked it so much, I grabbed a Buffalo bowl for my wife (that was great) later the same day...and two orders of curds. I am sorry to tell that frozen yogurt chain with the butter burgers (can I say the name here? Lol) that their cheese curds are now dead to me. It has been a good ride, but there is a new cheesy/crunchy/fried one in my life. As for you, M&P E, your food was not only great but your level of customer service was exemplary. I would say that not only did you "meat" my expectations, you basically far surpassed them. Your counter staff was particularly exceptional. Kudos to you! read more

Awesome awesome awesome Very professional, so so nice and the food is spot on!! I was a little outside delivery range but they brought it anyways because they had said they would. A lost art "being a man of his word". I highly recommend read more

The Meatloaf Meal It comes with Steamed vegetables, Mashed Potatoes Two THICK Slices of Meatloaf Brown Gravy and Crispy Onions (not sure if that's the right name?) and a side salad that have calamata olives, onions, Green peppers romaine lettuce tomatoes Can I say amazing? This is a cheat meal for me but it's simply filling, amazing and worth every penny. It's delicious. It's very hard to finish so my dogs and I eat like royalty! But it really is so flavorful. The gravy is out of this world, the mashed potatoes are smooth and have a flavor themselves that mix really well with the gravy. I asked for extra gravy ( I have to say that if you don't like salt you might be turned off by the gravy and the mashed potatoes but I am a salt fanatic) so I did use the gravy on the steamed vegetables (bad I know!) But omg delicious. My husband loved his order as well. My children even loved their kid menu. I really hope this place does well. They told my husband they will start delivery soon as well. These portions are HUGE. I honestly could never finish this whole meal myself. My children are very picky eaters due to having Autism, they have very specific needs. They ate everything. I have special dietary needs myself and it was so worth it. I am SO happy to have a place I was able to enjoy with my FAMILY. Honestly. I love this. This was my second time having a meal. The first time we went in (with family) and the second time my husband picked up and brought it home. We love the food! read more

Meat & Potato Eatery-McHenry - Amazing food as always - Sandwiches Near Me - Mchenry, Illinois

Left me preface this with the fact I have been eating at the one in Carpentersville since they opened. AMAZING STAFF...AMAZINGLY CLEAN AND GREAT FOOD. Because of a family emergent situation, I have been going out to Richmond area so stopped here twice...AND IF I DID NOT HAVE TO GO THIS WAY, WOULD NOT STOP HERE AGAIN. I really REALLY like their food. Their 3 grilled cheese is amazing. Their garlic parmesian is great. BUT THAT SAID - they do not have senior discounts - which is sad. AND - I still like a few fries with certain menu items. Being diabetic I totally limit how much potato I eat. I find it SAD that I am willing to pay for a full order of fries - any of them - and just get a partial order. I do this all over town at all the restaurants we go to. BUT here the young girl that took my order, asked an older woman who barely addressed me and when she did she was just "sorry no, they are premeasured and they would just throw them away anyway." Not great attitude and NOT GREAT PRACTICE. TALK ABOUT WASTEFUL. with hungry people I find the waste of food to be unacceptable so I now find it hard to want to eat here. AND if a manager is going to talk to someone, they should be "nice". The restaurant was very clean and very nice people work there. Just wasting of food is hard to deal with in this day and age. DON'T PREMEASURE THE FRIES...WHAT THE HECK THEY ARE FRENCH FRIES - LOTS OF PLACES HAVE ALL YOU CAN EAT...WHAT IS THE PROBLEM WITH EVEN PUTTING 1/2 ORDER ON MENU - LOTS OF SENIORS CAN NOT EAT AS MUCH. Just a thought not so friendly counter person...just a thought. read more

This place is outstanding, when we got there the music was ELP then Pink Floyd, Boston and so on. We were 4 and everyone selected a different dishes, for me it was the Gyro and it was delicious, the vibe is fresh and the place is clean. I do recommend this place, the prices are reasonable and the food is delicious. read more
