If you never been here its rural and rather dark at night. Have a game plan or make sure you have GPS on your phone. Other than that, no complaints. Nice quiet area.

4/5 - Good

Mice town. Was here for a golf tournament.

4/5 - Good

I grew up here, so none of it was really new to me. We did make sure to stop at our food places while we were there; Plum Garden, Portillos, Happy Jacks for the Ice cream, and Lou Malnati’s for the best Chicago style pizza.

3/5 - Okay

Mchenry itself is ok but Hampton Inn Mchenry is pretty great!
