French toast, eggs, biscuits and gravy, SOS, bacon, sausage, coffee, juice. Delish. $8. They also have burger cookouts Saturdays and other special events like pig roasts. Nice people, good food, great value.

I recently had the opportunity to experience Elgin Country Club and came away very impressed with…read morethe golf course along with all the amenities the country club has to offer. The golf course was designed by Tom Bendelow who also designed Medinah Country Club. It is for this reason that ECC has a striking resemblance to Medinah's course number 1 which is a positive to say the least. The grounds were in pristine condition and play was kept at the perfect pace. If given the chance don't miss out on one of the most underrated Country Clubs in the area!

First visit was for fish fry Friday. The dining room was packed at 6 but we got seated quickly…read more Service was friendly and fast. We both ordered fish and it was on the table in minutes. Tasty food, loved the hush puppies. The drinks were great. One of the better old fashioned cocktails I've had locally.

This was a fun experience! I love going to brewfests and this is the first one I've gone to in the…read moreburbs. The set up was in the stadium of the ballpark, not in the actual field but up where the concessions and bathrooms are. This wasn't a very crowded event and I think it might be because there isn't much advertisement about it. I only knew of this from a friend as well as an invite to Yelp elites - a giveaway which had ballpark brewfest tkts. Lots of local breweries and a few food options. This is a great place to start if you haven't been to a brewfest before and are interested in checking one out. Very chill and not as chaotic as most. My 2 'cons' are I wish they would have had the event in the field vs on the level of where the concession stands and bathrooms are. I think the vibe and the ambiance would be better on the field. I also didn't get a ballpark brewfest cup, I got a plastic clear cup which is fine. But again, vibe changes when it comes to little things like that. Overall this was a fun time! I recommend this to those who enjoy drinking beers, seltzers, etc in a chill and casual environment.

Had the opportunity to attend Brewfest this year. It was a fantastic experience, with many vendors…read moreand a variety of beers, and other drinks. There was a long line to get in, but it moved relatively fast. You received a 3 oz glass upon entering. The vendors were set up in the concourse. Lines were reasonable and moved very fast. The breweries were all local and each offered at least 2-3 options. You can actually sample as many beers as you like, there was not a tracking system. Concessions were open, and there were 2 food trucks , each were fantastic There was a band, but it was located in the back of the picnic area and you could only hear if you were in that area. Overall, a great way to try lots of different beers. There were also ciders, seltzers and cocktails!

Date of visit: August 5, 2023…read more This was my first visit to a county fair! Despite visiting the state fairs in both Wisconsin and Minnesota, I had yet to visit a state fair. While it had many of the things that the state fair has (rides, carnival games, food kiosks), there was far less to see and do and the $9 admission seemed pretty high for what they had to offer. Definitely do a lap around before settling on any food or drink, the prices are NOT all the same! You save a fair amount of money on things like lemonade if you scope out all the vendors before making a selection. We were impressed at the massive train display in one of the buildings; the two trains on the tracks were heading in opposite directions around a detailed townscape featuring a variety of businesses and homes, definitely make this a stop during your visit, even if just to watch it for a minute or two. Staff were friendly throughout the fair, from those assisting with parking to the ticket takers and other various employees we encountered on the grounds. It's possible that I am just too much of a state fair guy to get on board with the smaller county fairs. Or maybe McHenry county's fair is a bit underwhelming. Or both!

Corn Fest is downtown on Rt. 38. Best food is:…read more Fay's BBQ pork chop sandwiches and pork/chicken kabobs. Great lemon shake ups too. Greek Orthodox Church Gyros - seriously, best ever. Kiwana's brings a wooden keg of semi-locally made root-beer and the floats are oh so good. They also serve Dekalb Del Monte corn a few ways. There was a place, I think taco explosion, with deliciously seasoned steak tacos. Tinez tacos have really good chicken tacos but the steak needs either searing or seasoning. Thai Pavillion has really great noodles and fried rice. Salt Creek BBQ had awesome cooked forever ribs and the pulled pork was really good too. Free corn is served during the corn boil which is either Saturday or Sunday morning depending on the year. They serve something crazy like 30K ears and go until it runs out. A bad experience was a gyro from a place that had it simmering in a giant wok like pan with onions. It looked good but was inedible and thrown in the garbage. We got more tacos and quesadilla's from the taco explosion instead. Be ware - that place had other similar wok style meat plates too that we won't try. Funnel cakes everywhere and typical carnival fare. US adults go to eat and the kids ride at the carnival. It's a great time. All the local businesses have booths too.

My friends reminded me it was Corn Fest weekend, so why not check it out…read more Although calling this fest corn fest seemed to miss the mark. I was expecting more corn dishes and corn themed. There was a lot of typical carnival eats as well as taco trucks. Fest is free to walk around. If not staying to watch the music or ride the carnival rides an hour or so is plenty.
