Food in Wauconda

So we run into Bobo and his side kick, Russ.
Bobo runs Black Sheep Custom Cycles in town. (Here's your plug buddy!LOL!)
We went to the Luke’s in down town Wauconda.
I requested a brat, grilled, with grilled onions.
Bobo got a couple of dogs and Russ got a double burger.
My brat never hit the grill. It was deep fried. I was bumming as I stressed I wished it to be grilled. It was served on a hot dog bun. I’m used to them on French bread like a Maxwell Street polish. It tasted exactly like deep fried French fries. I won’t be doing that one again.
Bobo’ said the dogs were dogs. You couldn’t do much to them.
Russ’ burger looked to be quite the good serving size. He did mention that they could have removed it from the grill a bit sooner. The condiments that he requested didn’t come on the burger tho. There was a definite language barrier there.

The Mrs. And I did the Raul’s Burrito Express later in the week.
Now, that’s the big bang for the buck!
I got the shrimp fajitas. Comes with beans and rice. Smoking. Just plain good food.
The beans had a good flavor and so did the rice.
Plenty of shrimp too!
The Mrs had a burrito without veggies. They give a very generous portion of meat, beans and rice to make up the difference of the missing veggies.
Nice little store. We’ll be going back for sure!
Thanks for the suggestions!

Food in Wauconda

We went exploring last week and stopped at two eating establishments in town.
The first was Wild Bill’s Grill on Main Street south of the High School.
Nice little hole in the wall sandwich joint. Fits about 6 people inside but outdoor seating is available. Typical bill of fare, dogs, beef, fries, etc.
We got dogs to go and ate on the run. I think they were the local Chicago Vienna beef hot dogs. The dogs were not served real hot and the buns are not steamed or warmed. The fries were the big fatties and when you ask for cheese, wow! You get cheese! Plenty of it too! Yum!
We’ll have to try the beef next time.

We also tried a little pub type of pizza joint, J.J. Twiggs on the corner of Bonner and Main Street.
Nice atmosphere, dinning room or bars, toss the peanut shells on the floor, lot’s of TV sets.
We ordered the personal pizza and the daily special.
The wait staff was fun, friendly and accommodating. The wait time from order placement to table delivery was a bit long. Our anticipated 45 minute lunch was closer to 2 hours.
The pizza is very good with a little less then generous amount of toppings. The prime rib sandwich special was a sandwich and fries. The meat could have stood to be a larger piece for the money. The quality was good but not anymore then piece of prime rib. Gourmet prices for seemingly standard pizza joint foods. The sandwich came in around $8.00 and the 12 inch personal pizza was about $10.00. We’d still go back but more on a special occasions then regularly due to pricing.
