“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!”

“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!”

“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.”

“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!”

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.

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.”

“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”

“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.”
