The Hunt Club - Oregon, Illinois

Was in the area and checked for nearby restaurants and saw this one was rated well. Stopped in around noon on a Monday. For a small town this place was surprisingly busy. Service was fast and friendly. We got cheese curds for an app along with a smash burger and fries. The cheese curds were some of the best I’ve ever had. Burger was good too. The only so so thing I had there was the fries, they weren’t bad just nothing to rave about. Definitely a good place to check out if you’re in the area. Cheese Curds are a MUST try.

Very nice place in a wonderful location!! Right on the river in Oregon with amazing views, cozy, up north atmosphere, you'd think you are in Hayward or Minocqua! Plus it's on a snowmobile route, adding even more to the up north feel in the winter. Amazing taxidermy animal displays that you'll want to take some pictures of as well! Now the food, amazing!! Burgers are awesome, really fill you up for a VERY reasonable price, even in January 2024!! I had the double cheese burger, the wife had the trashy burger (with coleslaw), and the kids had the single cheese burgers, and we all really enjoyed them. Cheese curds and cheese fries I would recommend too!! Great food, atmosphere, and listening to a live band here on a Saturday, Beaver Creek Band, what could be better! Thanks, and we will definitely be back!!

After visiting the nearby rock river dam, we wanted to find a place to cool off and rest before going back out into the heat.

We found this place after a quick search and picked it just because it was the closest spot to us to get out of the muggy weather.

We were delighted to see a familiar bartender who had helped us as a different establishment in Polo. Plus, they had the same menu as the polo restaurant/bar, so we knew the food was going to be good.

We ordered drinks and the fried cheese curds. Everything was good from the drinks and food to the service. We enjoyed our drinks and snacks while we watched the river flow by outside of the window behind the bar. We even spied a deer walking along the edge of the brush.

What a great spot to eat. Standard bar food, delicious. I had the double smash burger with coleslaw, hold the chips. With water it was $15. All the wood makes for a warm atmosphere. There are several taxidermy animals including two brown bears and a bobcat. The view of the Rock river out the windows is beautiful. What a mighty river. Was there on a friday for lunch and there were 11 other people, so it can get busy because the food is good.

We visited for lunch and ended up waiting about an hour for our food. While the waiter was polite, we weren’t informed about the long wait time. The food itself was decent, but I wouldn’t say it was worth the hour-long wait. The atmosphere was pleasant, especially with a nice view of the water, if that’s something you enjoy.

Lovely bar nesteld close to the river with beautiful views. We stopped in for a few drinks and to grab a bite to eat. It was pretty full for a Saturday afternoon.... however, we were able to grab a few seats at the bar and the bartender was quick to take our order and get us drinks. We both ordered Captain and Diet (mine being a double tall) and the drinks had a decent pour for a not to expensive price tag. After a few of them we were ready for a bite to eat. We then both ordered make our own burgers which were absolutely delicious. The quarter pound size was just enough to satisfy but not make us feel too full. We also both got the tatertot sides but I asked for the white cheese dipping sauce as well which was definitely worth the extra cost. All in all, neat place with an outdoorsy feel. The only issue we had was a few guys that looked like they'd been there all day got a little loud and kept bumping into our stools at the bar. Anyway, we'll definitely be back for another try and see what happens next time.

The Hunt Club obviously has a hunter's atmosphere to it, if you're not a hunter and you can get past the hunters looking at you differently, it's not a bad place at all. The service was outstanding and the burgers were delicious. The spicy pickle fries are a must have and the beer was on par with other sports bars. The Hunt Club is popular with the locals and you won't be disappointed, but it's pricey.
