I checked this place out tonight to see why it seemed to be so popular. Like any new place I figured it would wear off by now. But being a Saturday evening it was well attended. We were seated right away. The service was good and the drinks were also pretty good. We ordered the tavern style pizza which was very good but hard to cut with a knife on the plastic plates. All in all, I was not too impressed with the ambiance, and it was very noisy. Probably a location I wonât be a regular customer

If you are a fan of French fry fan, you will love Bulldog AlÄ House. The fry selection is outrageous. Try the truffle fries and the bruschetta fries are delicious. I also had the homemade pot pie was ok. My coworkers had the hot wings and they were hot and taste, baked potato soap was good, the French dip sandwich with homemade sausages was wonderful. Apple Martini was ok, but good price. Wonderful service for business travelers in a group (they will give you separate checks). Great place to check out.

Lots and lots of bread, not much meat, thats what my husband said after being served Italian beef. The taste was alright not great. Fish and chip basket was great! The pulled pork sandwich was also just alright. Overall the place was inviting, staff pleasant our server was very very slow, took 20 mins to get drinks.

They have a good variety of food and beer/drink options. Everything we had the table was good (Impossible Jailhouse burger, California avocado burger, Stuffed Avocado Dinner). They have outdoor seating and a rooftop patio. We were in on a Monday and they had live music that you could hear throughout the place.

I've been back twice since my last review and both times the service and the food was exceptional! I had the Pub Sandwich Blackened! Yum! And the Saganaki is always delicious! I even had the bartender make me a banana daiquiri and that too was awesome! The Village Squire is one of the better restaurants to be found in McHenry!! Keep up the good work!

We visited After the Fox for the first time for dinner last night. It is located on the Fox river and we had a table with a nice view of the water. The waitress, Mallory, was a delight! She explained all of the specials (and there were tons). We were there for a light meal, so settled for a burger and grilled cheese. The fried cheese curds as the appetizer special were excellent. Mallory suggested to come back for the Friday fish fry, as there are many options. We plan to go back! Thanks, Mallory!

Our monthly group chose this place once again. We were blessed that the rain stopped before we arrived so that we could sit outside. Great views from their brand new deck area.We ordered a couple of samplers platters. All were good, including the mini-tacos. A definite must have for our next visit. I ordered the Breaded Pork and Tater Tots.Our server didn't know us before we walked in. She knew us all by name before the afternoon was over. All drinks served to who they were supposed to go to. Great job done for a large group.

Although the bar/restaurant looks just like it did back in the day...somehow it's been updated...thinking it's the paint! Looks really sharp!Went for dinner on a Friday night and they were pretty busy...would have been 10 minutes for a table, but once we got sat at the bar, we were very comfortable! Super nice bartender!We had the bruschetta appetizer which was very good, but different from the expected...this is served on soft Italian bread rather than a crustini. We also had an Italian Beef and a pizza. Everything was delicious!We'll be back!

Tried this place after not being here in a while. Food quality is crap, squeeze cheese on nachos- yuck and CHEAP. Service with no sense of urgency or smile. the waitress made sure to spend time checking her phone while customers we're waiting. Bears vs. Packers and their is 15 open tables, don't they think this is a problem??? Fix you food and service and maybe you can fill the place up. If not, I won't be back or others. Manager hardly seen , what is he doing??????

Wonderful place, great service. Waitress was wonderful and accommodating (we needed 6 separate checks). If you need a delicious alternative to Home Run Inn and Lumanaties (not sure about the spelling) this is the place. We had the Sears Tour (which was delicious) and the house salad with creamy garlic dressing (which was ok, the dressing). And the Red Sangria was refreshing and went well with the pizza and salad. Great place to try if you are in McHenry, Illinois.
