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!

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.

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!

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.

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

Our household really loves Jexals. The wings are great, the thin crust pizza is spot on, it's our go-to of all the downtown McHenry restaurants. The only reason I give it a 4 star review is because they don't offer gluten free buns/wraps/etc. We're a gluten free family (with the occasional pizza splurge) and wish we could order burgers and/or sandwiches instead of having to go to a different restaurant for those options. Other than that, we've always been happy with the food and service.
