The Gambler - McHenry

I had a great time at this restaurant. The food was delicious and I was able to have some good conversations. The ambiance is nice with good lighting and decent music. The service was quick and I didn't have to wait long for my food. I would definitely recommend this place for drinks or just hanging out.

Went to Gamblur last night and met some girlfriends My friend bought my first twisted tea. After that I had another twisted tea and a Miller lite and one shot. The bartender gave me my tab with no detail item check. The check was for $27.. $27 dollars I mean wow not a very good deal. There was no way three drinks cost $27 Could it... That’s what I thought by just paid the bill and left. I also left her a $10 tip. The real problem is.. This morning I look at my back statement online and the Gamblur has charged my card 2 more other times than my initial charge.. it’s very upsetting I’ve been going to the gamblur for YEARS! And was a previous employee for the great Doug. I’m very disappointed and hope this doesn’t happen to others.

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!

I went to dinner on Monday and ordered a burger. I barely made it home before I started throwing up uncontrollably. I will never return to this restaurant. I am currently in the hospital with food poisoning!

My husband and I visited this restaurant for drinks one evening, and then returned with a friend to celebrate our birthdays. The burger was cooked perfectly and delicious, and the beer was excellent. The restaurant was renovated a few years ago, and it was clean, well-lit, and had plenty of seating at the bar or tables. The service was quick and friendly. We realized we were some of the older customers, which was amusing but nice to see. The prices were very reasonable. The only downside was the small bathroom stalls, which made it difficult for even average-sized women to close the door comfortably. It was something to be mindful of, especially for larger women. Overall, a great experience at a great value.
