In the mood for chicken. Went to BWW for wings and beers. Started with the House Sampler. Nachos, Mozzarella Sticks, Onion Rings and Bones Wings with dipping sauces. Excellent but huge. Shares 14 traditional winds with garlic parmesan and mild buffalo sauce on side. Couple Ultras an their Sangria Special. Server was really attentive.
9. Matt's Tavern

This was the second stop of our 2013 annual train/pub crawl. This is a clean and quite little bar located in downtown Crystal Lake. It is nothing fancy but the service was good. This is a cash only bar. Matts is in the center of downtown Crystal Lake and it isn't one of the most popular bars but it is one of the most affordable.

We went here for dinner and drinks with friends on St Patrick's Day. Standard beer list with some craft beer options and good prices. The food menu offers a large assortment of appetizer, burgers and sandwiches. Service was slow but it was a busy holiday. The ambiance is comfortable. Will return!
7. Wings Etc.

Haven't been here in about a year. Brought the wife. Little more intimate than BWW. Lots of TV's. Had preseason football. They now have the slots as you walk in. Had a dozen regular wings with teriyaki and dozen boneless with BBQ. Really Good. Fantastic Loaded Tator Tots with melted cheese, bacon bits and green onions. Washed it down with a couple rounds of Mic Ultras. Still a nice place to go.

A far cry from what other reviewers called a "Wisconsin Supper Club". This place is just a local bar with the old stale beer smell wafting throughout the place. No atmosphere other than bar stools around a non descript bar and tables scattered for dining. Can't tell you about the food as we went for dinner on a Sunday night, only to be told they don't serve food on Sunday nights. We were glad to move on.

Haven't been here in a couple of years. Remodeled. Changed the entrance. Bigger Bar. Seems smaller. Lots of TV's. Came here for the baked cod. Portions seem small. Comes with fries. Roll. Coleslaw. After you're done your full without hurting. Good price. $8.95. Had a couple of beers. Our server was great. Yea. We'll be back.

Always love the Presidente Margaritas. Got one then switched to the Tito's Punch. Great drink. Started out with the Chips and Salsa and Spinach Queso Appetizer. Fantastic. Tried some new things. Mango-Chile Chicken with Rice and Broccoli was great. Santa Fe Salad w/Grilled Chicken was delish. Other meals were the Cheese Quesadillas, Bacon Burger and the Oldtimer. All were great as usual. Assorted ice teas and diet coke. Elizabeth was a very attentive and engaging server.

We have been going for years. Very extensive menu. Plenty of variety. The food is quite good. We had the fish and chips special for lunch and it was a huge portion and delicious. Our server was very attentive and friendly. A good casual dining spot that is always reliable.

The asparagus soup was very spicy. I liked it but be prepared. The beet salad was very good with lots of variety, small amount of lettuce. Had salmon on the salad and it was fine- nothing special. Other couple liked their burger which was mixed with mushroom to make it more sustainable. Reasonable prices for very good food.

Called ahead and told 10 minute wait for our group, left name and phone number. Arrived and found out the girl remembered the call but couldn't find where she wrote it down. Said it would be 10 minutes, it was 30, seems she tells everybody 10 minutes. Claimed lack of servers when people complained, several groups left!Food and service were very good, but the front desk needs training desperately.
