We hosted a casual work holiday party here and everything went great. We had about 26 guests. Wings, salad, pizza and misc aps were served. The staff was nice and friendly and extremely accommodating in regards to our seating requests and extra tables for gifts and prizes. Everything tasted great and everyone was please with the food. I’ve previously ordered food to go and it was good too… expecially the chicken ranch wraps.

This Bar Was Awesome! The Waitress Was Great, Very Attentive. The Food Here Is Delicious and The Drinks Are Superb. All Around A Great Place To Stop By If Your In The Area. It Offers A Great Deal Of Entertainment Also. With Sports Tv's, Pool Tables, Gaming Machines, Etc. Good Daily Specials...

Tried this place while I was at Fox lake for the 4th mainly because it offers tavern cut pizzas. I got a pepperoni, the phili cheese steak and J’s beer pizza. Crust was thin and they do not skimp on toppings. If this was in the city, it would only be slightly below places like Pats or Michael’s as the crust is not as flaky. Philly cheese steak was surprisingly good, the J’s beer pizza is a bit spicy due to the peppercinis, the sausage on it is not as good as other places in the city. The ranch dipping they offer is awesome. I also tried the wings and they are well done, the sauce was on the side for pick up order to prevent it from being soggy which is a pro-move. Prices are very reasonable (22 for large pepperoni, 27 for large specialty). This should be the only place you’re getting pizza in the Fox lake/Mchenry area.

Great place to have a Snack, Lunch or Diner. The stuff is friendly and they make you feel at home, they have daily deals and what i like the most are the garlic wings, Philly steak sandwich and on Thursday and Friday you can get Coronas with 3 …

Drink was made exactly how I like it, pizza was fantastic, and beer nuggets were to die for! Recommend coming on a Thursday like I did when Jeri and Amanda are working. Perfect duo for both kitchen and bar! ALSO GREAT MUSIC!!!

Sarah is awesome!!!!!! We came in for the lunch special. Food was really good. Sarah was attentive, friendly, and thoughtful and she’s my new favorite bartender/waitress in Fox Lake. Update. Came back a second time a week later. Sarah is here again. She remembered our drink orders from the first visit!! What?! I hope this business realizes what they have with her!

Love this bar!! Always my go to spot. They have a great specials on food and its good too. Bartenders are friendly and quick. Pizza is really good and half priced Monday and Saturday!!!

I have had the pizza, which is always tasty. Today, I didn't feel like cooking and ordered a Friday Fish Fry dinner to go! Was delicious with nice portions of cod, fries, hush puppies and cole slaw. Scott always gives great service and cooks everything to perfection! J's often has some nice events and bands too.
