Hickory Lodge - McHenry

Great bar! However, the music is usually pretty bad. They do have some good bands, but unfortunately, they're not playing when I visit.

First time here. We had smothered chicken it was fantastic! We tried the fish fry for a nominal charge and loved it! My husband is very picky about fish. We will definitely go back next Friday and have the fish fry! Going back (tomorrow) Saturday forsteak and Mai Tai specials. Service was great our server Renee was fantastic! She made us want to come back for all thespecials! Music tomorrow night. If you haven't been here and live anywhere near you have to stop in and try their food! With thefantastic service we had I promise you, you won't regret it!

I had an amazing experience at the restaurant! The atmosphere was wonderful, the staff were friendly, and the entertainment and food were fantastic. I highly recommend it!

We visited on a Saturday night when a dart tournament was taking place. One woman was managing the entire venue, and she did an excellent job. There weren't many vegetarian options available, and the fish dishes were only offered on Fridays. On Saturday nights, they had drink specials featuring buckets of Bud Light or Coors Light for $12. We ordered the mashed potato bowl and the oven-baked chicken dinner with salads, and we were quite hungry at the time. The food was exactly what we expected—not bad at all.

Really really good place. We can't comment on the food, as we only had drinks and soup. But the menu was impressive, and service was great. We'll be back for sure and write more about the food.
