New American Restaurants near Joliet, IL

“I’ve ordered takeout and dine in here recently. It was amazing! Food came out hot. The biscuits and gravy, and build your own omelette was so good. Big portion of hashbrowns and good sized omelette! Smash burger and poor boy were also a 10/10. I loved how the bathrooms had complete privacy. They have rubber stoppers that completely block that annoying gap between the door in public restrooms where you can see through! Service was great! Larissa was so kind and patient when dealing with a customer in our section who was not having a great experience! Love the artwork on the walls! Definitely will be coming back soon!“

“This place has been here forever!! And I became new to this place a smacking 8 yrs ago yes!! I travel here for my shrimps and fish.. prices are beautiful. Food always fresh to the taste and I will come here till I move too far lol. Parking is decent always a place to park. Not wheelchair accessible however don’t let that make you miss ordering here“

“My sons brought me here to celebrate Mothers Day. Everyone really enjoyed their food. We shared a nacho, very good. Our table had chicken wings, grilled cheese panini, burgers, and chicken fingers. Many different specialty drinks and beer. Service was great. Sports atmosphere, lots of tvs.“

“We came here (a party of 6) for my birthday dinner and we were not disappointed! Amazing food and service. Kayla was friendly, professional and so sweet. We tried so many apps and snacks... we loved them all. Two of us had the burger and decided this was the best burger ever. The pork chop delicious. The pasta dish so so good. And Kayla gave us a cheesecake for my birthday 🎉. So good, crust less, kind of a basque style. We will be back!“

“Superior service, food & drinks; love that they serve Slagel meats! Our lunch was quite tasty, with large enough portions to bring home half for a meal, tomorrow.“

“We went for the all you can eat crab legs and they were fabulous! The services were so great, friendly and nice! We will differently be coming back! HIGHLY RECOMMEND“

“I typically get the Wiccan Chicken. The portions have gotten smaller. I remember when the chicken was as large as the dinner plate. Today, two pieces about 3x5 inches. Still same great taste; love the green beans and mashed potatoes, too. Everything is fresh. The brussel sprouts are a must! I've had the steaks too and those are scrumptious. Others in my group also raved about their meals. We had late lunch today. Service was awesome. If you go in evening or weekends, call ahead bc they are busy and it could be a 45 min wait. Only downside: it does get kinda loud when the restaurant is full. Acoutics are not good. They could use something to absorb sound. It looks like a renovated factory so sound bounces off the bricks.“

Jamie our server was excellent and we appreciate the help the manager Amy provided as we celebrated a NINETY-SEVENTH birthday! 🎂🎉 The seafood risotto was yummy and the peach butter cake was delicious. Coopers Hawk is so reliable and we will be back- well done. 👍“

“Omg I went for the first time to this restaurant yesterday and absolutely loved it. They serve a good portion and I asked for extra tomato and they sure gave me a lot of extra tomato in my hotdog. Most places don’t give a lot of extras when you ask for it. And the best part of going there was their soup. The soup was absolutely delicious. I will be definitely going back here a lot more. The people there were very, very nice. I wish I would have gotten the cashier’s name. She was super nice and attentive. I think I’m going to go back again today. See what kind of soup they have today and try their beef sandwich. I’m sooo glad I stopped there.“

“We ordered pulled pork and Mac and cheese for our daughter’s open house. Everyone RAVED about the food! We are almost 40 minutes away from the location and they will have new customers from the Marseilles area. Great staff, absolutely delicious food! 10 out of 10 !“

“awesome concept but you really need to fix the broken games. going from one broken game to another doesnt really encourage people to come back“

“Went for a Flaw concert. It was small and intimate but an absolutely great time. I got a drum stick from the drummer and the whole band signed it. The place itself is amazing. They have bowling, bags, darts, pinball, you name it they have it. Also very reasonable priced drinks and food. Great place to check out.

Wheelchair accessibility: They have handicapped spots right by the door.“

“Hands down the best breakfast restaurant that I’ve frequented. The skillets are large and delicious. The pancakes are massive, fluffy and an awesome complement to the skillet. I live four hours away but I would make every effort to eat here again at my next opportunity. Any and all travelers or locals should eat here. Great service and very fair pricing, too.“
