Our Story on the River
The Snuggery River Roadhouse has been more than just a restaurant, it has been a family-owned tradition on the shores of the Fox River for generations. What started as a welcoming spot for locals has grown into a destination where visitors from all over the Chain O' Lakes come to gather, celebrate, and enjoy the beauty of riverside dining. Through every season, we bring together great food, cold drinks, and warm hospitality that reflects the spirit of McHenry.
Our menu is rooted in classic American comfort fare with specialties that have become community favorites. From our famous broasted chicken and hand-breaded Wisconsin Cheese Curds to sizzling wings, stacked burgers, and crispy fish and chips, every dish is prepared with care and tradition. The highlight of our kitchen is Moretti's award-winning Chicago-style pizza, a thin-crust classic that has been voted "Best of the Best" in Chicagoland. Guests can choose from 17 toppings, 5 specialty pizzas, and even a gluten-free crust, ensuring there's something for everyone at the table.
But our story goes beyond the menu. With indoor and outdoor seating, a lively patio, and the chance to dock and dine right along the river, the Snuggery is a place where summer evenings stretch into memories and winter gatherings bring warmth to the water's edge. We also offer private event spaces, including The Guest House, a unique waterfront venue for celebrations of every kind.
From families and friends to boaters, travelers, and longtime regulars, the Snuggery has always been about bringing people together. Our story is one of community, flavor, and fun, and we are proud to keep serving McHenry year after year as the riverside roadhouse where every guest feels like family.
