"Bring Your Concept Here To One Of The Busiest E-W Corridors In McHenry County"

An incredible opportunity to acquire a fully built-out freestanding restaurant along Route 120, a prime retail corridor in McHenry, IL - one of the area’s most traveled commercial thoroughfares.

This amazing property offers rare versatility and scale, making it ideal for a wide range of restaurant concepts - from quick-service and fast-casual to full-service dining, sports bar or hybrid delivery-focused operations.

The restaurant is equipped with a commercial kitchen anchored by pizza ovens and a walk-in cooler/freezer, along with a full line of professional-grade equipment. The interior layout includes a dedicated bar area, seating for dine-in guests and infrastructure that supports both traditional restaurant service and entertainment-driven concepts.
