Reviews for Kojak's in McHenry, IL
I always get the Burger. It has been cooked anywhere from good (med rare) to very over done over the last year or so since they... opened, like today. (I always order online and make the med rare choice). I like a little moisture/grease in my burger. I keepgetting it overcooked and very dry. I love the fact they offer a cooked preference, now they just need to follow through. ANDthey REALLY need to change the fries. I eat out constantly and you would have a hard time finding worse fries anywhere. It'sstrange, they almost taste 'baked' not deep fried. Not sure what is going wrong there, the cook/storing method (cooked an hourago sitting in heat/oven/light?) or the fries themselves. Fries are easy, how do you mess that up. Read more
I really liked this place the first time I ate there. But depending on who rings you up, changes how much you pay. I asked for... ranch instead of Italian for my salad and was charged 60 cents. The French fries are really not good. They should have availablesubstitutes if you don't want fries. But sometimes the rice is unavailable. ???? Read more
The food is almost always really good (especially the lamb kabobs) and the staff are nice, but it usually takes a REALLY long... time to get a drop-in to-go order. Last time my wife and I went, we waited at least 20 minutes for food for only 3 people whenthere was barely anyone else in the restaurant, the packaging was dripping with oil, and I could hear the young staff goofingaround in the back. It took even longer to get the food because the staff were looking to give our food to someone named"William" when the name I gave them doesn't even sound like "William". Only go if you have a lot of time/order ahead and don'tmind a mess. Read more
I really hate giving a negative review but I feel I must tell it like it is. I placed an order online and then drove the 6... minutes to Kojaks. We waited 15 minutes more and finally got an order. The wrong order. Then it was 12 more minutes before wegot the right order. My husband's pulled pork sandwich was good and the onion rings were amazing. My gyro was lukewarm and very,very salty. It was a little busy (5 people waiting for takeout orders) and 5-6 tables were full in the dining room. The cashierdid apologize and said they were backed up. I know most restaurants are struggling with staffing but I would have been moresympathetic if they had just given us a heads up that it would take longer than usual. Read more
Where do I want to start with this review...I wish I had paid more attention to the names of the ladies behind the front counter... but they were so amazingly sweet! The food didn't need added seasoning to it and it was really good. It had plenty of salt andso much flavor!! I had the cream of chicken and rice soup and the lamb kabobs dinner and the food came out piping hot and justsooooo yummy!!! I highly recommend this place and don't skimp out on talking to the hostesses!!! Like I said...they are supersweet!! Read more
Me and 3 other guys came in for lunch today, all of us had the Italian beef and fries. The beef was ok but the fries were stale... tasting and just horrible. Tasted as if they were cooked hours ago. Read more
Ordered and picked up food at Kojak?s yesterday when company was visiting. We had a variety but over half of us (5) ordered... gyro dinners. They were tasty - not the best I?ve ever had but good. I?d order again because Kodak?s is only five minutes fromhome (our favorite is thirty minutes). The amount of meat was okay but not over generous - several guests were snacking soonafter finishing the gyro dinner. The shrimp basket was beautiful and I?m told shrimp were very tasty. One four-cheese grilledcheese was great - looked and smelled delicious. The mushroom Swiss burger was juicy and tasty per the recipient. The gardensalad was okay but lacked tomato and onion which was surprising and disappointing. Fried mushrooms were excellent and generousorders. Kojak?s is a good choice and conveniently located. Give them a try. Read more
Gyro sandwich was so so. I only 2 small tomato half slices in it. Onions were good. The tzatziki sauce was thick like sour... cream, I bought extra sauce and spread it on like sour cream to a potato. I was expecting more and got less. My husbands frieswere extremely salty and he threw them out. His beef sandwich was kind of dry, not moist. I tried the bread gravy, it had thegravy on the bread, but it was still dry. Nothing like the menu promised. We might go back to try the hot dogs, but I can?tpromise that. Read more
