UpRooted Restaurant and Bar

2816 IL-120, McHenry, IL 60051, USA
Enjoy a charming dining experience with a unique salad cart service and a fun dessert cocktail bar that adds a delightful twist.
My favorite local spot for a high quality meal & attentive service every time! I love the unique touches and little details they add to the dining experience. They also have amazing gluten-free options and a dedicated gluten-free fryer which is a huge plus for those with celiac and/or allergies. Highly reccomend!
Green Peapod Thai Restaurant
Accommodating
1225 N Green St, McHenry, IL 60050, USA
Offering vibrant flavors and unique dishes, this downtown gem is a must-try for fans of diverse cuisine and artsy presentation.
The food was absolutely 5☆☆☆☆☆ in freshness, flavor, portions, and presentation. Beautiful plating. The staff cheerfully appropriately accomodated my dietary request for no meat, dairy, oyster or fish sauce, and gluten free. High quality clean restaurant at very reasonable prices. In downtown McHenry with ample parking.
D.C. Cobb's
Gluten-free options
1204 N Green St, McHenry, IL 60050, USA
A spot known for its awesome variety, monthly specials, and quirky offerings like Vampire Tacos, plus a great selection of beers and mixed drinks!
Awesome variety of food - gluten free and vegetarian options available. Their monthly specials are always great, but their Vampire Tacos are our personal favorite. Variety of beers to choose from and the mixed drinks are great!
Buddyz Pizzeria
Gluten-free options
1138 N Green St, McHenry, IL 60050, USA
With a wider selection of options now available, it's become a popular spot that caters to diverse dietary preferences, though kitchen certification varies.
Note we didn't get pizza. Their fries both regular & waffle have a coating so they are not gluten free. Boo for me. Got the grilled chicken sandwich no bun. It was decent. My MIL got the chopped salad, no meat in it, was soggy. Husband had chicken fingers & fries, said they were ok. Waitress only checked on us as we were eating last bites . It was also very loud inside but wasn't super busy. If that bothers you we suggest sitting outside if possible.
Bimbo's Italian Restaurant
Gluten-free options
1318 Riverside Dr, McHenry, IL 60050, USA
I had the bolognese sauce over gluten free pasta with a meatball on the side. Was even able to add onions, peppers and mushrooms to the sauce was the "presto- resistance" ! Delicious $20 dinner
