“Hidden gem in north Barrington NEW owners are crushing it!! Awesome food, great drinks… great place to watch games.”

“Had the AYCE Fish. You get your choice of fried or baked. I tried both, but I like baked more than fried. I got there early, so not many customers, but when I was leaving, it was getting busy. Will be going back, but I want to try their clam chowder soup. So people give them a try.”

“We love this place! We spend a lot if time here in the summer since there is boat docking but will also come without the boat. Excellent fish fry on Fridays and great burgers. Always great staff too.”

“The staff is exceptionally personable and efficient and the food is really good.”
