“Neighborhood goodness reminds you of the hot dog shack in the town you grew up in. Solid menu. Great fries. They heat their freaking BBQ sauce! Come on. Why is that not a thing everywhere? My favorite is the poor boy, but nothing on the menu is bad.“

“Had the Cuban sandwich and it was great 👍“

“Great place to eat! There are so many items on the menu to chose from. While I haven't tried everything they have to offer, the things I have tried have always been delicious.

This pizza is a must especially the sausage and red pepper. The Crust is a perfect expression a true tavern style pizza. My friend Jonah and I had it and riot fest and they explained it's about the sauce which they offer different ones and of course high quality cheese. IT IS A MUST TRY!!“

They were so gracious and food was delicious. We even brought in our own cake and sang hb in English and Spanish and some of the staff joined us in Spanish! This was some years ago but I never forgot how invited we felt.“

Goat and Vine was an excellent restaurant with delicious food and a variety of top notch wines! On top of that, our server made our first time experience that much better; I highly recommend!!“

“We stumbled upon The Tasty Biscuit while in town for a wedding and ended up coming back twice—it was that good. Despite a packed parking lot both mornings, we were seated right away thanks to their fast, efficient service. The coffee was excellent, the menu was full of creative and classic options, and the food itself? Quite possibly the best breakfast we’ve ever had. On our second visit, we even recognized some familiar faces from the day before—clearly, we weren’t the only ones hooked! If you’re anywhere near this place, don’t miss the chance to stop in. Your taste buds will thank you.“

“Had a small company appreciation for lunch today. Wow what a tremendous restaurant, you should be very proud of your establishment and the employees that work them. God Bless to the workers and families !!“

“Best butter garlic fries!“

“I came to use my reward points for my birthday dinner. I surprised to find out the trio special was not a part of this reward. I guess always read the fine print. We ordered the shrimp scampi. The shrimp a bit over cooked but the fettuccine was tasty.
I am sorry to say our server was not attentive and we had to have someone flag her down 3x. To me customer service is key to the tip amount. Regardless of how busy she may be, I believe we were forgotten. The atmosphere is pleasant and overall I'll give a 3.5 star rating.“

“George’s has been ‘Lockport’…..everyone goes to George’s. Love the place!! Been going there for years! Today I went there for breakfast and was told by the waitress I was not allowed to bring in my own creamer. She said it was because people sneak in alcohol disguised as other beverages. Ok…I get that. They don’t want alcohol in the restaurant….but when she claimed it was COVID related that was utter nonsense. Is this yet another instance of stupidity where COVID is on outside creamer bottles but not on everything other item coming through the door? D****“

“Great service for our large party! Food and drinks were delicious“

“A really great place! Our server Sam was very personable. We were there during lunch and there weren’t very many people there. The Rueben Sandwich was exceptional. My wife had the Cheeseburger which was also great.“

“Wow! The food here is amazing! We had the chicken parm sandwich and a sausage/beef combo with a side of mini fried raviolis. The red sauce is delicious! Very nice and accommodating owner. Only disappointing thing is we couldn’t try everything. We will be back for sure!“

“I always love Culver's burgers, they're always a hit. Tried onion rings off the suggestion of an employee and was impressed with the crispiness. Sweet tea was delicious 😋 and I tried the butter pecan flavor of the day with some add on which was very good. Enjoyed a booth, not too busy, clean restaurant and nice service.
Spent 20 dollars for everything (also got a small fry)“

“Twice a year my colleagues and I come to Joliet for a teacher conference/education. We always stay at this hotel and have dinner here. This fall we were unable to however one of my colleagues and I made the trip over to have Burger Theory! We absolutely love this place!“

“Stopped by on a Friday evening for a few drinks and dinner. Lively atmosphere. Food was good. Only issue was that it was very slow. My husband ordered a well done burger that was so rare he couldn't eat it. So it was a bit frustrating because we waited so to get food to begin with, only to have to send it back. Server was very apologetic. It's a fun place so we'll be back.“

“Eating area was clean as always! Great friendly service! I think it was Lineta maybe (sorry if I didn't get the name correctly) was nice, attentive, and knowledgeable as always, and greets with a smile! Definitely a good place to go on lunch. Food is always cooked to order, fresh, and hot.“

“This is truly a hidden gem in downtown Joliet. Food was absolutely delicious. We tried the pollo anticuchero, the lomo saltado and the papa a la huancaina and it was all very tasty. I had the parchita for a drink and it was also very good. We will definitely be back.“

“Out of the times that I have gone to Culver’s everything had always been great one time there’s a bunch of young kids working. I ordered chocolate shake with extra syrup and I got a cup full of syrup. I was just a little disturbed by that but other than that, it’s always been a pleasure“

“I love love this place it’s mine & my husbands favorite spot Rita is an outstanding server & I love her but last visit our waitress was very rude and unkind

& we have had her before and she’s been the same every time pretty sure her name is Nicole please work on customer Service“

“It was a funeral lunch
They had a fantastic pot roast and a good salad and green bean with bacon.
I know there was more on the table but due to the circumstances that is all I remember about the food. Large room , clean restrooms. Good staff.

Wheelchair accessibility: There were cut outs in the sidewalk.
The building area we were in had no stairs.. restroom also good.“
