Best Brunch Restaurants in Algonquin

We couldn’t have picked a better place to go this Valentine’s Day. The minute you walk in the staff bends over backwards to make sure you are happy and being taken care of. Tom took care of us by explaining the menu and the shareables were awesome. It was heart to watch the chefs prepare the food in the wood fire oven. We will definitely be back. We had the whitefish pate, the lamb lollipops and the escargot. All were incredible. Well prepared and very flavorful.

Hampton Social was a great place to spend Galentine's. We had cocktails, sides, main entrees and dessert. It was all delicious...we came to spend some time together and the atmosphere and low key vibe was perfect.

Great little place, old historic type space, nice comfortable bar area. Menu had many.nice options, small plates, Flatbread, and sandwiches.

My first time visiting, but everyone else in my group has been to The Junction numerous times and has raved about it. My experience was delightful. I was first in my party to arrive, and was greeted warmly and promptly. In a nutshell: Naomi was our amazing server and was very attentive throughout. Menu was very impressive, hard to choose because it all sounded so good. Two in our party ordered burgers, the other four ordered the Mediterranean Chicken Caesar wrap. WOW!! So amazingly good... the chicken was perfect... so tender and delicious. The burgers were a huge hit as well. I also ate every last little French fry that was on my plate- they were perfectly seasoned and cooked to a crispy light golden. Prior to ordering our food, street corn and tortilla chips were brought to our table. I seriously could've eaten the corn with a spoon- it was phenomenal! The atmosphere of this cute restaurant is simply perfect for a family meal or gathering friends together. There is an adorable outdoor seating area for dining in warmer weather- can't wait to come back win the Spring for that! So happy to have such a great restaurant in Crystal Lake and I certainly plan to become a regular! For those that don't live in Crystal Lake, hop on the UPNW Metra and check it out, the restaurant is just across the street from the Crystal Lake train station!

Everything was great! Food, service, noise level were perfect. We will definitely return!
