540 E Terra Cotta Ave Suit-E, Crystal Lake““I had an incredible experience at the food and liquor store in Crystal Lake! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by friendly staff who were ready to assist. The store’s impressive selection of both food and beverages caught my eye immediately. Whether I was searching for a rare wine or a specific ingredient for a recipe, they had it all. The aisles were neatly organized, making it easy to navigate and find what I needed.”
“Love this place! Such friendly service and very welcoming!!! Perfect place to pick up any spirits or liquors of your choice! Good selection with extremely reasonable prices!”
“We visited this unique bike shop that doubles as a local bar to fix our daughter's deflated bike tire. Not only did the owner inflate the tire for free, but he also generously presented us with a safety helmet for our daughter.Our visit coincided with live music, adding to the delightful atmosphere, and the food was delicious.The couple who run the place were exceptionally warm and kind. What started as a simple tire inflation turned into a wonderful and enriching experience, thanks to the incredibly kindhearted people we met there.”

1210 N Green St, McHenry“Had the most amazing meal tonight!I took the casing off the Greek chicken brats and cooked them with sun dried tomatoes, served over the green fettuccine noodles (don't remember the flavor), topped with Feta cheese.Definitely going to be in our usual line up!”
“It's a regular liquor store kinda... Except it has more than just alcohol it's your one stop shop for a good night. I get my pipes and water pipes from there large selection of papers grinders and accessories not to mention they have there own brand of smokables in different strains. Btw have u tried a monster with alcohol in it? I highly recommend it, tastes great and gives u a pick me up to keep u going when playing the slots. Okay selection of snacks surprising how much stuff they can fit in that store.”
“I came in today, looking for advice on whiskey for a tasting. In almost all liquor stores workers don't give you the time of day. Here not only was treated very kindly, but I was given recommendations that fit my budget, and made me very enthused about the hobby! It's not often you get kindness like this from a stranger on such a heavy hobby and so it was greatly appreciated.”
“Huge selection of local Craft brewery's... Reasonably priced compared to other big box stores. The store itself is very clean and tidy, and very well organized. Extremely friendly customer service as well. It's a little off the beaten path but, definitely worth a stop in if you're looking for something specific. The owner is willing to order specific items... And if he doesn't have it in stock, he will direct you to another local store that will help. From the customer service, to the business itself. 5 stars. A++”

66 N Old Rand Rd, Lake Zurich“The staff here are really friendly and know their products. Especially the wine crew. The guy from the cigar area was helpful as well. Just a good experience every time I head over to this location.”
“I love this store, they have such a large selection I can always find what I am looking for. The process are much cheaper than any of the other stores around. On my last visit it was around 3:30 pm and they only had 3 lines open for check out there were at least 5 or 6 people in each line. You could see the employees walking around and doing busy work. All of the people in the lines were looking at each other like why don't they open another line or two. Then a lot of us started talking about it. After waiting in the line for over 15 minutes right as I was putting my stuff on the belt they finally opened another line. When I looked up there was now around 7 or 8 in each line and they kept having to move so other people could get through the main isle. I can understand if they were under staffed but there were a bunch of employees. They just were not running a check out lane. Two of the employees that we could all see doing busy work were the same ones that opened another lane. This is the first time I have ever experienced this here. I have shopped here for years. If it was my first time I would not be going back. This visit was great. 8/25/2022. No lines quick check out and great prices. Went again on Friday Nov 4. No issues the lines were short and fast. 3/27/23. Fast and easy. A quick visit just to grab a few things. Update 6/25/2023, it was a quick smooth visit. I wish they would add a store in Woodstock. 9/20/23 It was all good this visit. All good again”

“Great place to buy vapes and fun stuff.... Selection and price, 2 thumbs up. They have everything from funky lighters, Incense, candles, to funky watches.... Plenty of interesting items you just don't find anywhere else. The one I get is 16.99. In the city, the same vape is 22$-27$. I appreciate the staff here, they always treat me like they've known me forever.”

“Locally owned and operated. Nice selection of meat and seafood including a frozen section. Excellent quality but the real win is the exceptional service and knowledge of Joe the butcher behind the counter. Plenty of parking available including two lots and on the street. Location has gaming, bar area and the recently famous Jerry’s pizza.”
“ORIGINAL REVIEW 3 years ago: Changed owner. New owners follow you around store trying to sell.. The prices also have moved up. I dont mind paying a convenience fee, but it's out of hand. $10 6 pack of coke. Apothic wine $11+UPDATE NOW: Prices are better than other option in neighborhood AND they don't charge a surcharge fee on credit cards.FRIENDLY owners that mean well by the neighborhood.Stock has gotten way better too!”

“Sam is a great little liquor store with a large selection of just about anything you could want. Access from the south and east is easy but from the North or west is difficult. I suggest planning your route carefully if you are coming from either of those directions. It's worth the effort.”
“This is a super cool store! They have a large variety of Multicultural food. Perfect place to shop to try something new! Some prices are reasonable and some are a little higher.”
“I love a local business. I live a family owned business. I love a business where the owner is a part of your community, is kind, helpful and hilarious. Mike is a community member and a good person. If you need a unique beer or an obscure whiskey, he has it.”
“Great selection and very friendly employees. If they don’t have something you can request it and most times they will not only order it but they will start carrying it regularly for you.”
“Always well organized and the employees are eager to help find what you're looking for. I enjoy having the private barrel bourbons all in one place and the craft beer mix and match section is a great way to try new styles.”
“I scout Bourbon to add to my collection and enjoy through the winter, these guys are always super nice even though they probably get hammered with questions for allocations. Great selection including some hard to find spirits and awesome customer care, this is how all other stores should be.”
