Easily the worst mac and cheese I've ever had and quite possibly the worst thing I've ever gotten from a restaurant. Whatever substance they're passing off as cheese is truly vile. It reminds me a lot of school cafeteria nacho cheese, but with a much more off-putting flavor and texture. It's significantly worse than any boxed mac and cheese or frozen mac and cheese from the grocery store. I rarely waste food, but this was the first dish in years that went straight in the trash after a few bites. I will certainly not come back to Joey G's, I can't support a business that has such little integrity that they're willing to serve this to paying customers. Seriously, go anywhere else in Chicago for mac and cheese because it can't possibly be as bad as Joey G's.

Yes Mac n Cheese is the star here but today I went a different route and had the burger. The very friendly woman working had a great attitude and even cracked a few jokes which made me feel welcome. The burger came with fries and was nice and juicy, last visit I had the "Mac Daddy Dog" which was also good. Lots to choose from here so I'll definitely come back. Cookies and Ice Cream too!

Went to Joey G's mac and Cheese and had a wonderful time there. The food was incredible and the service awesome! Bought a number of large size dishes after eating the first one and looking forward to many delicious meals ahead of me. The Taco, Hamburger, Traditional, Chicken Ranch and Italian Beef are what we bought. the sandwiches are fantastic as well as the sizes are big like the size of the mac and cheese and oh so delicious! Talked to the owner for a while and he is so easy going and full of all kinds of stories that make you feel like one of the family. Overall, a great place to eat and take home as well. If I could give 10 stars I would!

I made an online order for some food items and a cheesecake for desert. I paid online. When I got there they told me they’ve never served cheesecake. Ok so why did you let me buy it? They then told me I have to call the owner to get a refund. Weird but ok. I did that, never got my refund. And the Mac and cheese didn’t even have the toppings they listed. What a scam

Went there on a Monday to take advantage of the discount Italian beef sandwich. I'm new to the city and this is by far the worst tasting Italian beef I've had! The counter staff mentioned nothing about peppers, I assumed it's default for the sandwich but I was given zero peppers. The beef meat had absolutely no flavor. And a bread was falling apart at the bottom; I've had the sandwich several times from different restaurants and never struggled to hold the sandwich together; i think the bread type is wrong. The sandwich was a huge disappointment even considering the cheap price. Will say fries are amazing but still 1 star for their Instagram posts supporting Israel; keep politics out of the kitchen please.

Let's begin by saying If 0 stars was an option that would absolutely be my choice. I was excited to try this new restaurant and its variety menu. However, after my meal today I would HIGHLY discourage anyone wasting their hard-earned dollars by choosing this place. I ordered the Mac Daddy Dog and the original Mac n' Cheese. This is honestly the most disgusting meal I have ever ate in Chicago. For starters how are you going to be known for your Mac n' Cheese and it's not real Mac n' Cheese with FLAVOR. This tastes like a five-year-old who made this after school without parental supervision. It's nowhere near AUTHETIC!! Disgusting even with no flavor. Now on to the hotdog, flavorless, and over consumed by unnecessary ingredients. This is nothing but a gentrified hotdog! Who puts pickles on hot dogs? A typical hotdog that's appears to be from your nearest gas station. This meal was so awful, I didn't even finish it. Nor did my friend, he was also disgusted. I immediately put everything that was uneaten which was all of it, back in the bag, then a garbage bag and disposed of it outside because this "food" is not even worthy of sitting in my home garbage can. $32 of trash..Pros: Food was ready, and the French fries are delicious.Seriously, do not waste your money here. Joey G's Mac n' Cheese is only going to be good if you're highly intoxicated or off some serious drugs unless you just naturally have no taste buds because I promise, the mac n' cheese has no flavor. All these 4-5 star reviews are appalling.
Mac & cheese is solid. Get a lot of mac for your dollar spent and they have a lot of variety so anyone can find something they like. Fries are always a bit soggy, though. Service is great.
