“Wow! I feel like I need a "call to arms (table?)" or a mobilization of the local dining community. Mousa Greek Tavern is absolutely unprecedented in Joliet...which is EXACTLY why it won't survive without more fellow foodies finding it and enjoying it. Joliet is not exactly a fine food destination city. Mousa Greek Tavern is a reason to actually come to Joliet...unless you just live here like we do. This place is amazing! I have been to plenty of Greek restaurants in my time...you know the kinds of places...2000 things on the menu, quick service, solid food but nothing special. Mousa Greek Tavern serves special food! Not only is the food great but the ambiance is much more indicative of what you would expect for fine dining. I just cannot say enough about them! But, based upon what some of the staff was telling us, you better get there soon because they have been there for a year and business is not great. It is because this is sadly NOT what you would expect for Joliet, especially not downtown. Do yourself, and the city, a favor and try Mousa Greek Tavern. We are already planning our nexts visit. So now there is at least one reason that is not jury duty to actually go downtown!”
“We have been doing more take out than eating and let me tell you the get it right. All of it. Every time. My only grip is trying to get extra rolls on take out the button to order online is always disabled and even when I put it in special requests we don’t get it.”
“My daughter took me for my Birthday I was born on Leap Year. It was amazing, Staff were so attentive and sweet. Food was amazing. Made my Birthday so amazing. Would definitely go backParking: After five you can park right across the street from restaurantWheelchair accessibility: Sure it was wheelchair accessible”

“Was a very good dinner, wait staff and support staff were very attentive. Complete 180 from our last experience and would encourage folks to try their Lenten Fish specials. Last evening was fried haddock and potatoes.”
“Food was delicious, wish I would have found this restaurant sooner. Garlic Pepper was fantastic and so was the Plik Pow ? ? I will definitely be going back. Staff was very pleasant as well ?”

“Nice small friendly place. After fours hours of having a small get together, they didn't kick us out but they all did say bye to us. This was either them saying, 'Finally we get our table back' or just saying bye. Haha. I will go back, they have good food!”
“Always fresh, and always delicious! Always feel so welcomed when I go in. Plus I get some extra protein every now and then when they know I'm coming from the gym lol!”
“I just find out about this restaurant 1 month ago and I am very satisfied with the service and mostly for its delicious food! Very good family ambiance! I can't believe I have been living in Romeoville since 2014 and I drive 1 or more hours to find Honduran food. Highly recommend.”
“The mango margarita with a tajin rim was excellent! The cochinita pibil tacos were fantastic! An old family recipe from the owner, tasted like comfort food. Very clean inside. A unique gem in downtown Joliet.”

I had two chicken tacos beans & rice $8.99 can’t beat it & they always have specials everyday‼️ Don’t walk RUN, I’ll def be back??‼️ My friend had steak she said super fire ?‼️ Y’all check them out they got them hands frfr??‼️ I ate in the car couldn’t even pull off?????‼️”
“The service was great! He gave helpful recommendations and was very accommodating to our group of 5. He automatically put it on separate checks and made everything so easy. The food was delicious. Decent sized portions. A bit pricey, but everything tasted really fresh. Will definitely return!”

“Knights of Columbus 4400, on Cass Street in Joliet IL has excellent fish, chicken, sandwiches, all kinds of food excellent food. Awesome excellent service,from our wait staff, server. Great ice cold beer. Wonderful place to watch, The Cubs, Sox, Bears, Hawks Bulls games. Wonderful service excellent food friendly people.”
“The food was delicious! We had the sampler for an appetizer to start. The chicken tenders were moist, yet crispy. I also really enjoyed the buffalo shrimp! We then both got the Country Burger with BBQ sauce, bacon, onion rings, and cheese. It was cooked to order just the way I like it. There was a choice of brioche or pretzel bun - both were very good. You could also order it as a lettuce wrap. There were many specialty burgers that sounded interesting. Although we didn't order one because we were so full, they had some very unique shakes. Next time we will have to try one! Service was friendly and we received our meal quickly, but were not rushed. Loved the music that was playing!”
“The food here is EXCELLENT and the price is right for what you get. Not high, not cheap. I highly recommend this place. HOWEVER, it does have one big problem: It is extremely loud inside and it can be difficult to carry on a conversation when they are busy. It's probably because of its flat metal warehouse style ceiling. They would do well to install some sort of sound dampening acoustic material to reduce the noise to a more acceptable level.”
“We visited Juliet's Tavern for the first time yesterday. The service was incredible from the time we stepped foot in the door till we left, the food was very tasty, and their prices are great. We ordered an appetizer , 4 drinks total, and 2 entrees and our bill was under $100. We were shocked. We will definitely be going back.”

“This place is an absolute gem. The rolls are always fantastic. It's a great place for the family or date night. What you see here is Philly Roll, Crunch Shrimp, Chicken Tempura, California Roll, Volcano, Godzilla, Niagara, Helios, Mango Dragon. We also had the scallops and goyza app. The dip that comes with the scallops is wonderful. We usually ask for another side of it to dip the rolls in. Party try 5+5 two apps and four drinks was $98 after tax and before tip.”
“10/10, I looooove this place! Has not failed me. The menu has great selections that flow together so well. Our server this time was great, he had just started 3 days prior and did so awesome. I forgot his name but, shout out to you great job love! So first... don't call me crazy on this til you try it... ALWAYS here I start off with a Bloody Mary, and, hear me out, with a side of ranch! Their Bloodies consist of pickle, bacon, green olive, lime, celery, and cucumber. I take the toothpick full of these delicious add ons and dip it right in the ranch. It's like an appetizer in itself. So next I ordered the fried pickles, which came with a spicy-ish kind of ranch. Was delicious. I know you'd think "well the bloody mary has pickles in it already!" which, yes, they do. But i'm on a mission to try every appetizer from this place atleast once, so I went with the fried pickles. Last time was the onion rings w/ garlic dressing & ranch. Those were a freaking hit as well. Finally, off their special menu, I ordered the corned beef & cabbage. What an excellent decision this was. It was a PERFECT portion for 2 people because we split it. The corned beef was so tender n tasteful! Love this atmosphere here. The servers n patrons are all friendly and it's not too loud or crowded, but they do get busy and I totally see why. There's tvs everywhere too so you can watch your favorite sport while indulging in this delicious f*cking food! Lol. Definitely recommend, and if you try the bloody w/ ranch, let me know how you like it hehe (you're welcome for that idea because you won't regret it.) 10/10, can't wait for next time”
“Great food! Every tiime, no matter what I order from the menu. Shrimp Egg Foo Young, Rice, Noodles, General Chicken, Orange Chicken, Moo Shu, Bourbon Chicken, and I'm just waiting to try the Duck”
“Food is great . The service is goodI usually eat in my car when buying front his taco truck. I would highly recommend their catering services. I had their taco truck at my house for a party an it was a hit. That will get 5 ?Those who enjoyed the taco truck have made their way to the establishment in Joliet.Parking: It's tight and the lot is shared with the supermarket”
“A Holiday party with our new brothers of Viejitos Car Club Illinois chapters! Great food, warm and welcoming space to celebrate any occasion!!Kid-friendliness: Coloring and food options. We had a Santa photo booth”
“You guys!I had veryyyyy low expectations.. I’ve been so disappointed in Chinese in the area. We got takeout through Grubhub- the food was hot and delicious. Their pork fried rice is the best I’ve had in yearssss! The flavor was outstanding- the green onion was a lovely touch. The egg rolls weren’t greasy-and the pot stickers were not the best I’ve had (these are a little more plain). I look forward to trying the food again and really hope that the pork fried rice continues to impress- it was so good!”
“Everytime I come here my food is fresh and the workers are super nice. I've never had a bad experience besides the line taking awhile sometimes but it's understandable with pretty much everywhere being short staffed. Last time I went, I was given 2 extra sliders which was awesome. Thank you for having great customer service.”
“General manager was very concerned with my well-being. She answered my questions to the best of her ability. Still questions on how to register reward points. There is no use for it that I can see.Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp for entering building. Handicap parking spots available.”
“Everyone was kind, accommodating, and efficient. Food was great. Stacy was awesome, as was the receptionist and the chef. Could not have had a better experience! Thank you SO much.”
“Place smelled like grandma basement..was about to walk out but decided to stay..I opened up with some soup..that was really good.9 out of ten on soup..then got bbq chicken was really good.and fresh bread was really good.”
“The food was great like always, and for it being Superbowl Sunday, it was a ghost town in there--even better! I couldn't help but notice how filthy this place is these days though. The walls behind us looked like a little kid was finger painting with ketchup on them. It was gross.”
“The waitress Alliyah was very sweet and love her service will be back because there are always wonderful and management runs a great restaurant. Never ONCE had an issue with service or the food. 5 stars all the way!”
“We showed up with a large family group on a Monday evening, and there was a table ready almost immediately with a server coming to take our drink orders almost before everyone sat down. All three generations enjoyed their food as well as the trivia game and sports being playing on screens overhead. We'll be back!Dietary restrictions: Gluten-free, bread-free options for burgers were nice to see.Kid-friendliness: Kids enjoyed coloring pages and crayons as well as the on-screen trivia game.Wheelchair accessibility: Women's wheel chair accessible stall in the bathroom included changing table, individual sink, soap and hand dryer at accessible heights.”
“My wife and I ate an early dinner there on March 4th, '24. Fantastic experience. The waitress was immediately available and took our drink order, also arriving with a platter of chips and warm Queso Dip. We ordered an appetizer of a flight/sampler of their Signature Egg Rolls, including one each of "Reuben", "Pulled Pork", and "Prime Rib". these came with an array of dipping sauces and were delicious! The Mrs. ordered a cup of the homemade chicken soup and the hamburger special. I ordered the Southwest Burger (burger with pepper jack cheese, bacon , a chipotle sauce and bleu cheese dressing on the side) with fries and what appeared to be home made coleslaw. Everything was delicious and of unexpected quality. As simple as french fries are to make, many establishments fall down on this simple task. These were hot, light golden brown, crisp on the outside and light and fluffy on the inside. The burger buns were not the typical store bought mass produced buns but a nice quality raised roll!My only gripe about my meal was that I had asked for medium rare and I would say that I received a burger that was well done. With that said, I can't complain about it because the freshness and execution of everything else was perfect, AND I was given the specialty burger at the bargain daily special price!We will certainly be returning to this establishment to sample some of their other dishes!”
“Excellent adult beverages, prepared expertly by Michelle. I highly recommend the $2 early bird specials. I enjoyed her dirty gin martini, stirred, not shaken to avoid too much dilution. Michelle attracts an intelligent, well mannered soft spoken clientele. Check it out for yourself soon.”
“Opened & Ready on time. Clean parking lot. Small clean lobby. No chairs in waiting area, but I didn't mind waiting in my car. Great welcoming customer service. Nice young man at the front. Food was delicious. I had 1/2 lb of shrimp lobster tail and some mo lol. I'm just waking back up from my involuntary nap. No need to drive out to seafood junction anymore when I visit home.”

“We have been coming to Denny's for years. Some times in the past, they've struggled to meet customer expectations. They have a new manager and some new staff as well. The food was tasty and all special requests were met promptly. They still have Tuesdays where kids eat free. In today's economy, you don't find that much anymore. We had a rather large group and enjoyed a nice midweek family dinner that wasn't crazy priced. We will be back!”
“This is one of the better McDonald's. The food is good. Always seems fresh, service is good except always check your bag to make sure you have all of your items.”
“This my 1st time rating McDonald’s. The jalapeño quarter pounder was disappointing. I took a photo of how not good looking inside. It was tasteless. No flavor what so ever. The frozen Fanta drink tasted great. Fries where good. Now the reason I gave a 5 even though the burger was not up to par. The chicken nuggets where actually good. I have not had chicken nuggets taste this good since the 80s. All of 2000 it tasted like rubber. But this actually made me think of the 80s. Recommend. I like when I went through drive through they asked if I was doing an mobile order. I was like yes I have. Was not much of a wait compared to some places I been too.”
“Living in a small town with only one McDonald's. This McDonald's does a wonderful job keeping up on busy days and they never get my order wrong. I've never had an issue with any employee. I usually go for breakfast and it's always the best!Parking: There is plenty of parking available and the drive thru is huge.Wheelchair accessibility: There are places for handicap parking”
“Wonderful server, she went above and beyond to make sure we had the best experience. Brought out holiday treats and extra chips for us and made sure our drinks were always full. Phenomenal food, good sized plates for a great price. Loved this cute little place! Perfect for a cozy and fun lunch/dinner.”
“Went for nostalgia this past weekend. The first time my husband met my Dad was here. My Dad has since passed and we spent the anniversary of us meeting by going to dinner here. Did NOT disappoint. We got a sausage pizza and I also got a dinner salad. Was so good and they have one of my favorite crusts in the area. Looking forward to our next visit.”

“?✨ A Taste of History: Walts - Since 1926 ✨?For nearly a century, our town has been graced with a timeless gem. Since its establishment in 1926, this beloved spot has delighted locals and visitors alike with its incredible flavors, ample portions, and efficient service.We have loved their ice cream in our family for generations”
“The new owners are great- very nice, ensured customers were all taken care of and happy to get to know and talk to everyone. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, but also fun and upbeat! Staff is attentive, knowledgeable and friendly. Great food and drink specials throughout the week. Definitely would reccomend checking this place out!”
“Food was delicious, wish I would have found this restaurant sooner. Garlic Pepper was fantastic and so was the Plik Pow ? ? I will definitely be going back. Staff was very pleasant as well ?”
“Did the 3 day cleanse. I was a little nervous before I started. Most cleanse tend to put you in the bathroom all day or are really harsh and taste terrible. This cleanse was the complete opposite. Easy on my stomach, everything tasted great (detox shot was strong but it was a small dose so it wasn't a problem) and I had the best sleep during those 3 days. I did the cleanse to reset my body. I had gotten into some bad eating habits that I needed to detox. I loved some of the juices so much that I'm ordering them for myself and my family to incorporate into our day. Definitely try these juices!”
“Stopped in with my boyfriend for pierogis and a few drinks. The owner is a super nice guy, showed us around, and his dogswere amazing. It's definitely a place to visit if you ate in the area.”
“I recently moved to Plainfield and tried the same breakfast places near by but my friend asked to take her to celebrate her birthday at rosemary’s and now it’s our fav spot. Lattes are delicious! My kids loves the waffles and their crepes! Great services and atmosphere!”
“Long time since I have been to Neena's; so sorry to hear of Lupe's passing. I can tell you that the food was as great as it was 10 years ago and would recommend this place for real authentic southern Mexico tacos they are truly the best on the south side of Chicago.Parking: I haven't been there in at least 10 years, since that time they have redone their parking lot and made it way more accommodating for patrons to park. There is still street parking also that does not have meters.”
“Great Taco place ran by husband and wife team. Call ahead and get the buffalo chicken or cajun chicken tacos. Added props for their made from scratch buffalo sauce. Treat yoself to some BT.”
“Just a small ice cream shop located close to St. Joe's park (a real money maker during the baseball season).Prices are competitive, ice cream is plentiful, with a decent selection.”

“A great place with great food. While yeah, it's a bit more on the pricey side of things, you can tell that the extra cost is reflective on the quality and size of the food. I had a beef last time I was there and it was the best beef I had in YEARS. Other places either skimp you on the size or of lower quality. I also manage to try their gyros as leftovers and boy, they're amazing. Next time I would 110% going to try their gyros.”
“Louie’s Waffle House is the place to go for breakfast and lunch! Every item we’ve ordered in the menu has been absolutely delicious! They have lightning fast speed when it comes to getting your food! And the customer service is phenomenal! We are weekend regulars at Louie’s and will continue to keep bringing friends and family here.”
“They've changed their BBQ sauce. Tastes terrible. So that's why the two star rating. As long as not getting roast beef sandwich and putting BBQ on it, it's fine.”

“Unexpectedly delicious!!! The fries!! The burger!!!!! Yummo!!! I passed this place a bunch of times with no desire to eat it, boy I'm glad I got over myself”
“This is the place for BBQ!! Wings, ribs, rib tips ect.. Locally owned and operated. Jack is a great guy and goes above and beyond with every order. All orders are carryout only. His chicken wings covered in his homemade BBQ sauce are some of the best you will ever have. I highly recommend this place as a must try! Just make sure you call ahead so you don't have to wait.”
“Food was on point. Asked the waitress the suggested spice level. She said medium. Would make your nose runny. She was correct. Still should have gone with hot, but no complaints at all. Food came out within 10 mins of ordering. I was surprised how fast it came out. Ok, 1 complaint. Corn on the cob was a little over cooked and kinda soft on the cob. Also got the shrimp poboy. It was bangin.”

“I've been going there for half my life and the garlic fries are my go to. Now that they have the buffulo chicken fry thing, OMG!!!.... I can't believe I didn't know about that sooner. I'm officially addicted.”
“This place has amazing food and service is great, especially from the cook! My husband buys us food from here at least 2-3 times a month so we’ve got around to try almost everything (he has for sure), and we’re never disappointed. The only reason I did not put 4 stars is because the hours aren’t always accurate with what’s posted. There has been times when we’ve wanted to get food here, but they were closed early. Other than that, I definitely recommend it here! ?”
“Drive thru service was excellent, chilli dogs best I've had in a while! regular jumbo with relish cucumbers and tomato perfect. The Maxwell polish and onion rings a thing of beauty! The window guy confirmed order 3 times and it was 100% correct and hot and fresh!”
“Finally made it back to the big chill. Pizza was excellent! Although nothing fancy we did eat there before st Francis game. Perfect location before a game. Owner very friendly Will return.”
“This is the neighborhood Dairy Queen drive-in that is so much better than the new version. Ryan is a nice young guy that really wants you to be happy with your order.The chocolate soft serve ice cream is only topped by the the buttery smooth hot fudge. Get the online application now, so you too can have Ryan make one just for you. Five star service and ice cream treats. Tell him I sent you.”
“Perfect! Ordered at the window. The guy was really nice at the window too! Our order was ready fast. Everything was correct and tasted delicious! The outside tables were all clean. It was a nice meal!”
“Food was good. Service was not, what happened to people greeting you when they take your order? At least staying hi how are you today can I take your order and some eye contact would really make a difference..Kid-friendliness: Staff seemed bothered by noisy children.”
“Love there food hot fresh and Fast like me when I was youngerVegetarian options: They do have optionsDietary restrictions: Yes they will help you.Parking: Good parkingKid-friendliness: Yes very family orientatedWheelchair accessibility: Yes”
“Small Dunkin location with friendly staff, quick service, & everything you expect from Dunkin. It's nice to have a place that keeps the standard nationwide when you want exactly what you've come to love about the place. Restaurant was clean & inviting, easy in & out as well.”
“Best place for chicken in Joliet! Food is picture perfect, piping hot! and, just tasty. Ordered from here numerous times, never disappointed. Always the same two people working. Or, one or the other is working alone. Seems they get a little overwhelmed at times but they persevere and do their best. Maybe could use another pair of hands to help out. But, Popeye's nor KFC have nothing over this place. Before inflation you could order 10 pcs of Dark for 10$ throw in a side of mushrooms and feed the family for under 20$ Like 16$somethin.”
“Well hello yelp world. I'll start off by saying I enjoy the sandwiches here. I ordered online and had it delivered, because it's a lazy sunday. Was not surprised when my order was made perfectly. I enjoyed the wreck sandwich, now it's time for a nap. Great job to the employees of potbelly. It's a world where we can't please everyone, but the are constantly making great food. Keep up the good work all!”
“Jaxon and Mehki are the best employee of all time bro I went in for the bogo subs and had them each make the same thing for me and they were so good I compared the two subs and Jaxons was better but they were both so amazing”
“This Baskin-Robbins on US-30 just east of I-55 shares a building with a Dunkin Donuts store.As it happens, I was in the Dunkin Donuts.First, I must say it was surprisingly easy to get into and out of (going NW on US-30).Next, I was impressed how clean and comfortable it is. There are even deeply upholstered chairs by the window. The quality of their coffee and assorted treats doesn't need me to tell anyone how exceptionally good they are!In fairness, I did observe that at the time I was there, both the men's and the women's restrooms were locked. I did not ask, so I imagine there was a temporary problem, perhaps with the plumbing”
“They have extremely amazing customer service. I’m usually not too fond of a lot of workers at Dunkin’ Donuts. The locations usually don’t matter it’s all about the same average service , except they rock at this ”
“This is the best DQ in the entire area & surrounding ones! So much better than the garbage Lockport & Plainfield locations. The Indian Brunette Women & White Blonde Women are incredible! Their customer service is awesome! And I love how they don't skimp with toppings at all but they actually load them up! The ice cream is always cold & fresh and received fast! It's the only DQ I go to! You ladies are the best & I really appreciate you both!”

“El Primo is Minutes away from Harrah's Casino and at lot less expensive. The atmosphere is traditional Mexican setting. There is a bit of a language barrier if you don't speak Spanish, but its fun to trying and figure out what to order. They have a weekday special, such as Dollar Taco nights. Its near the railroad tracks, so if you a railroad fan, its the place to go. lol. It is kid friendly. But if you go later is mostly adults.”
“Always awesome service and great food. My grandson could not take his eyes off the decor. If we eat in I have the pan fried or broiled snapper. Carry out I like the steak burrito”

“I’ve only done pick-up orders, so I can’t comment on waitstaff, but all the staff I’ve come in contact with have been helpful and pleasant and the restaurant is so cute. Delicious food and reasonable prices. Highly recommended!”
“Authentic Mexican cuisine. The pork tamales are irresistibly good. Freshly made, mouthwatering. The Steak tacos were Authentic on corn tortillas, no fat and very tender meat. This is a hidden gem. Give it a try ?”
“Truckers! Perking available. I’m a driver and I stopped by to get some good food. Service was great, friendly and prices were amazing! Why doesn’t this place have a line out the door!”
“The food was good, and the people were nice. However, I had an issue with the actual physical space there. There was a Fire Department Brigade performing music there. While that was nice, they blocked the entrance/exit for multiple parties. It would have been nice if the Fire Department followed Fire Code. While this was not the restaurant's fault, they could have spoken to the party involved and told them to move to a different spot instead of blocking traffic for everyone.Dietary restrictions: Keto options available.”
“First time trying this place and I was pleasantly surprised. First off, the atmosphere is nice and clean, workers are nice, and they have a large assortment of food. They also have vegetarian options. I got the baked french onion soup with cheese, it was DELICIOUS. It was the best french onion soup I've had, with a good flavor without too much salt. I also got the vegetarian skillet with 2 pancakes which was good aswell, but if you go here, get the french onion soup!!! It was around $25 for a large skillet w/ pancakes and the soup, very good prices. Would recommend and would come back again, very pleased!!!Vegetarian options: They have good vegetarian options for skillets, pancakes, soups, and more.”
“Absolutely amazing service with a smile, if I could give 10 stars for that alone. The rootbeer is so tasty with the right amount of carbonation. I had the BBQ, and my son had hot dogs. The BBQ gave me a teaser of summer with great flavor. It reminded me of the BBQ at Crystal Lawns elementary school back in the day...iykyk.”
“My cousin took me here for my birthday and I had a great time!! The bartender, Shelly, was the sweetest, nicest person ever! She was so helpful at picking drinks for me. I haven't been to very many bars and I really don't drink but she helped me pick out a couple really good drinks! The atmosphere and the other people drinking at the bar was so good. Everyone was so nice and just wanted to have a good time. At a point I even met parts of her family. I love a family bar ? ? Thank you for an awesome birthday!! ???”
“I’ve been getting barbecue from Louisiana’s for over 5 years. The food is amazing. Ribs aren’t tough it’s slow cooked. Momma says it’s “Memphis style Barbecue”. The sauce is perfect not spicy or sweet; it’s just on point! Best thing to do is make an order, they will not disappoint. I googled and tried them and never stop going.Parking: Open parking lotWheelchair accessibility: There aren’t any stairs”

“As a busy real estate agent on the go, Vela’s Tap is a great stop for a quick bit with great quality. Would be 5 stars but price is a bit high - $11.50 for a burrito is a bit higher than other options.”
“The food is very delicious but the service they give you when you place an order is terrible, they don't understand you, they don't listen to you and they are rude so you don't finish ordering. When they say good goodbye ??”
“Lots of little snacks like candy bars an small chip bags,mainly a drinking place.Not many pool tables,about 2-3 its mainly a younger crowd of peeps that head in there.Bartenders are very friendly as soon as you come inside you are acknowledged ?Atmosphere ver much is good vibes,i love the vibe.”

“All of the workers do a really outstanding job at holding the place down. Whenever it gets busy, you can tell that they can handle it and although it is more than likely exhausting, I still really appreciate their efforts. The female with the red hair in particular is one that stands out to me, but that’s partly because of her kindness and energy overall.Thank you for everything you do. These workers deserve more recognition imo.”
“My food was quick, hot and delicious! The server who took my order fulfilled it perfectly and the employee who checked me out was so sweet and helpful! I would highly recommend this location! I even picked up a cute book while I was there.Parking: Plenty of spots to park, along with some curbside/to- go pick up spots, perfect for take out orders.Kid-friendliness: Kids love it here! Peg games at each table, along with a couple checkers games they can play while waiting on food. Not to mention the giant toy/candy selection in the gift shop.”
“One of our favorite fast food places. Everyone is always in a good mood. Food is always hot, even after driving back an hour to the city. They have great deals. Meat lover fries are our favorite, we get them with no shrimp extra jalapeños. They're always a hit. We also got buffalo wings, which have a sweet hint to them and they're not too spicy or vinegary. Pizza SLAPS. We got a two topping with mushrooms and jalapeños. Would definitely recommend if you're in the burbs.”
“This place has amazing food and service is great, especially from the cook! My husband buys us food from here at least 2-3 times a month so we’ve got around to try almost everything (he has for sure), and we’re never disappointed. The only reason I did not put 4 stars is because the hours aren’t always accurate with what’s posted. There has been times when we’ve wanted to get food here, but they were closed early. Other than that, I definitely recommend it here! ?”

His chicken wings covered in his homemade BBQ sauce are some of the best you will ever have. I highly recommend this place as a must try! Just make sure you call ahead so you don't have to wait.”

Service was friendly and prices as expected.Grilled chicken platter was a ton of food and came with plenty of tortillas which I really appreciated.

“It's a Friday night (2/23/24) and LayLay and Jenna are both working.. just the two of them. Lay was handling the headset and Jenna was killing it on the food station. Let me reverse a bit.. when I pulled up the drive thru was super long, so I decided to go inside in hopes it'll be slower so I can order and leave faster. Inside there were about 3 other people waiting to order. The ladies killed it! Yes I waited about 30 min for my food but lay was sure to greet me and everyone else with kindness and I saw Jenna was moving fast and doing her best.. what more could I expect, right? Our world has become so impatient and fast paced that if I wanted faster service I could've gone somewhere else. I'm glad I had time to be patient because dinner cured my white castle craving and the service was awesome! Great job ladies!”
“My brother told me i needed to come here and when i did i was happy. Everything I ate was homemade and delicious. The service was very good. I will be recommending this to my friends and will be coming back ”
“Gwen our server was great! she was very attentive! the outback prime rib, caesar salad, asparagus and blooming onion were all delicious!! but the atmosphere - the music was too too loud - like if you were clubbing and not trying to have a pleasant meal - please please change to mellow instrumental. thank you!”
“The place is nice and the food is okay not the best their "chow main" has too much oilService is the best staff there have satisfied meThe atmosphere there is not the best it is cold in there so dining in might be a problem for new people”
“On the expensive side for the amount of food you get if you are not a rice and beans can. 3 tacos and a drink for $20. It was good food just pricey. They got my order done quickly tho. Didn't know we had to share a restroom with men tho as there was only one in the restaurant and didn't know a triangle is a symbol for shared bathroom. Ugh.Parking: Had room for a 40 foot school bus?”
“Great Staff. Loved my dinner. Food was not overally seasoned, just right. The staff greeted me with smiles.Three stars for "Atmosphere" because bathroom was not the best, bad bad bad bad odor. And nothing to wipe or dry hands. I'm wondering? how many people use those restrooms and couldn't dry or wipe and came back and used the serving spoons to get more food. That's definitely NOT SANITARY”
