The Fogcutter 36021 U.S. 45, Lake Villa, IL 60046

"The fish fry is excellent, one of the best in the area. Solid service and good drinks. My only real complaint is that it's small, so be prepared to be squished near the bar when waiting for a table. That's minor though, and it being busy is reflective of the quality."

"Good food and a great locals bar/pub. It is rather small inside, but always busy. Food is good and reasonably priced. One of the better spots to get food that is not a chain restaurant. Alcohol is reasonably priced to ensure having a good time without breaking the bank."

"This place is Absolutely Amazing! The full parking lot every night should be a clue something great is consistently happening here. The staff is great. Super friendly and just good people. The CHEF is Awesome. The food is delicious and plated picture perfect. Kinda small inside but is never a problem. Atmosphere is very relaxing. It's not super fancy but I fit in just fine. I highly recommend this place!"

"One of my favorite dive bars. Good craft beers on draft. The weekend brunch is the best! Got to try the biscuits and gravy. Also $5 burgers and trivia on Thursday nights! Great spot."

"I had a great experience my first time here at The Fogcutter! The waitstaff was very nice and the atmosphere of the place seemed to be a nice low key kind of setting. The build your own burger special was excellent and the time from ordering to the table was very quick! They give you very nice portions and I know I was taking some home with me after my visit. I can see myself coming back here for sure. The different events they host make it a great place to come back to time and time again."
