McHENRY – A steakhouse offering a full menu of chops and steaks will open Tuesday in McHenry.

First-time restaurateurs Jon and Breanna Descher of McHenry will operate Addison’s Steakhouse, 335 N. Front St., McHenry. The restaurant was named after their oldest daughter, Addison.

“It’s just me and my husband – we’re just a family-owned business,” Breanna Descher said. “This is our first venture starting out.”

“But even though we haven’t owned a restaurant before, we both have experience in the restaurant and bar industry,” Jon Descher said.

Addison’s menu items include burgers, salads, a 12-ounce New York strip steak, a 24-ounce porterhouse, salmon, lobster tails and other meals and sides. It also offers a selection of craft beers and wines.

“Everything will be fresh; nothing is coming in frozen,” Jon Descher said. “And our beef and pork will be locally sourced.”

The dining area will seat about 75 people, and the restaurant should seat about 100 people including the bar area, Jon Descher said. During the warmer months, the restaurant will have outdoor seating by the fountain, which will allow for an additional 30 seats.

The restaurant also will have five video gambling machines and a sports bar for entertainment.

“We’re offering customers good food at affordable prices, and our customer service will be outstanding,” Breanna Descher said.

“When you walk in here, you’ll notice the attention to detail we put into everything,” Jon Descher said. “Since we are small and family-owned, we want our customers to feel like they’re a part of the family, as well.”

The steakhouse is expected to have about 20 employees.

Addison’s hours will be from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sundays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, and from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays. The restaurant will be closed Mondays.

Breanna Descher said they are in the process of building a website for the steakhouse. In the meantime, the menu is on the restaurant's Facebook page.

Addison’s Steakhouse will take reservations and walk-ins when it opens Tuesday.

The restaurant’s number is 815-322-2546.
