Wife Terri, son Joseph and myself rode out to Willow City saturday Dec 14, 2004 to try that "Harry's on the loop BBQ" and visit enchanted rock on the way back.
Terry had been there before in 1973, the year we were married and had climbed to the summit, but neither I nor our sons had never been there.
We got to Harry's at 11:15 and had to wait till 11:30 when the BBQ was ready. I would suggest getting there later, when the brisket has a little more time to soften. We rated the beans as best, the potato salad (made with German fried potatoes), the sausage then the brisket. Only the jap-a-linos were left on our plate when we were done.

The restaurant was tiny, but artfully decorated with unusual objects and harry's witty saying. For example, the ladies room had a note near the john "Ladies: Please put all tissue in this basket. If we run out of tissue, feel free to recycle". Clearly, whoever decorated the gents and harlots bathrooms put considerable thought into it.
