Hours Lunch Mon-Sat 11am-2pm
Dinner Mon-Thur 5-9pm
Friday & Sat 5-10pm














I have eaten at almost every eating establishment in Woodstock, IL. By far, I would say that Tip Top Bistro is the best. It might even be the best in McHenry County. (I've said that about another restaurant, and both places are very good, but I now regret writing that about the other restaurant.) The Tip Top almost seemed like a cursed location. For many years this building laid empty on the ground floor with a legacy of failed business haunting its past. This location was used for filming the TIP TOP Cafe scene in the movie Ground Hog Day. I believe it was chosen for the movie, because it was empty then, as it often seemed to be over the years. So, someone tried to get a real business off of the ground with that name, Tip Top. It failed. Then an Italian restaurent and Pizza place failed at that location as well. I was pleased last Spring when I saw someone using this location for another go. I was also delighted that they were using the TIP TOP name once again. The food is excellent, but pricy by some standards. Chosing the daily specials will make your meal more affordable. Yet, affordable really isn't the issue. This is a nice place to go when affordable isn't your main concern. It would be a very appropriate location to take a date or spouse on a special occasion. The food is special and out of the ordinary compared to what you find around McHenry County. It is a restaurant that is worth taking a bit of a drive for. The food is fantastic. I won't even bother to describe it. The menu changes with the seasons. They have a lovely selection of wines, (but I am not a wine expert). The desserts are excellent. It is a small location, so reservations are reccomended. They also have special events going on. Check out their website at www.tiptopbistro.com
