Went here yesterday for the first time with 3 other girlfriends of mine for lunch and drinks around 10:30am. We had such a great time! The food was delicious and service was just as amazing. We had a woman serve us and I believe her name was Conor. She was the best! She constantly checked on us and laughed and joked with me and my friends. She was super sweet and I’d definitely come back just to have her serve us again. Highly recommend this place

Surprisingly good, looks more like a bar mostly but the food was excellent would return. The burger was good and the avocado BLT was excellent as well.

The food blew me away! I had the Reuben egg rolls, pub pretzels, and the shrimp bowl. Everything was beyond what anyone would consider bar food. Heck, this is better than elevated bar food. I'll be going back again soon! Been back a few times to try other bowl options, all are delicious.

Uncle D's has some of the BEST food in the area. The bartenders are extremely personable and plenty of TVs to watch games. If you're looking for great food and daily specials, this is the place!

Grilled chicken sandwich was big and juicy, mushroom and swiss burger was absolutely perfect (cooked medium-rare as requested) , and the bang bang wings were tasty. Service was to notch and very friendly. Atmosphere was perfect for watching the Bears game.

since moving to Wauconda this place has been one of my favorite spots for take out. They have suprizingly good food quality for a small local bar, and I've yet to have a bad experience. I have had their breakfast before, which was decent but not really my style, but their BBQ salad, Cubano, and Sloppy Joe are all awesome as is their loaded Mac and Cheese. for 15 its a great local option for a quick bite. Pickup is easy if you just walk in and give them your name. I cant speak on the experience as I dont frequent bars, but when I stop by theres usally a good number of people enjoying themselves. Would recommend!
