The Gambler

Been here 3 times. Food and drink prices are fine. Just wish the service was way better. It was practically empty and I had to wait to close out my tab. This was while my card sat on the bill right in front of the server. Just run my card!!! Luckily the other server swooped in and grabbed my card before I ended up saying something. I know servers deal with a lot of cr** but maybe take better care of the customers and they won’t get upset as often. Wish I had better experiences here… Don’t think I’ll be back again anytime soon. Or ever.

Came into the gamblur yesterday afternoon to check out the remodel, wow is all I can say. It was beautifully redone. We sat at the bar, our bartender was very attentive, social and made an AMAZING Bloody Mary. Food and service was definitely a 10/10. The place was packed. My husband and I give kudos to our bartender because our drinks were never empty, and she didn’t even seem the slightest bit flustered about all of the customers. If you haven’t eaten the bang bang shrimp , or tried there delicious pot pie your missing out !!

I love the renovations the new owners have done here. It's not the same bar I've been going to for the past 20 years, it's BETTER! The new bar is huge so there's plenty of room for you and your friends to sit and enjoy a drink and incredible food. I've eaten here almost weekly now and ordered different food each time and I have NOT been dissapointed. The bartenders are friendly and fun to joke with too. They are very attentive and always make sure you have everything you need to enjoy your visit. I love hanging out here. My new favorite spot for drinks and food in McHenry!

Though our waitress was friendly, I wasn’t too impressed with the food or place. I ordered a chicken sandwich with onion rings and the onions rings were greasy and soggy. The chicken was fine though. The menu was small and didn’t offer much - not sure if this was covid related or not. I’m sure they have a great bar selection but I went during my lunch break so I wasn’t able to dabble in that area.
