30 Best American Restaurants in Joliet

“Great food, drink, and staff. Reasonable prices. Love the outdoor area!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“On Feb 17 my granddaughter got married so we decided to go to Cracker Barrel previously I had spoke to the manager Angel to warn her 25-30 people were coming by the way she's awesome! The food was great the waitresses were so nice we had a wonderful experience. I go there to shop lol my daughter eats there every weekend so I would recommend this place hands down!!!!“

“me and my daughter love it. great customer service, drinks and bowls“

“We arrived here on a Sunday mid day when the place was not busy but within 30min there were so many families with unruly screaming kids we were wondering if this is a kindergarden party or a restaurant? We took a booth near the entrance and fortunately these big families were placed a bit further away, I felt so sorry for the poor old couple who had 3 screaming girls right near them - many old people are in poor health just like me and trust me, high pitched screaming are not helping when trying to eat ideally quietly. Apart from that, the food was great and had: amazing waffle chips, then steak while I had ribs for the first time in a long time - licking my fingers, of course. Staff was nice and friendly yet I sensed they are not allowed to tell these big families with screaming kids to quieten down, so I kind of feel sorry for the staff - management, think of a solution if you want to have mature people coming back here!!!“

“This place gets a ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ from me! Everyone I spoke with was super nice! Gabriela, specifically, went out of her way to make a special day complete for me. Living in Ohio, I needed some assistance. She stayed in constant communication with me and the results were better than expected!!! Can't wait to visit, in person, in May!! Thank you so very much 💞“

“I had the chicken alfredo which was excelent and the breadstick was one of the best I've ever had. My wife did not fare so lucky. They sent her barely over easy egs when she ordered over medium and the sausage links tasted horrible. Her french toast was very good though. I would give them another chance but stay away from the sausage. Service was great.“

“Food is always delicious. We are on the spectrum and each of us have our safe foods. Culver's is one of those safe food places where we know we are going to get good service and tasty food each time.

Dietary restrictions: Culver's is one of the only places to offer gluten free buns.“

“I just love their food, everything fresh & tastes perfect! My favorite besides their sandwiches will gotta be their chicken noodle soup, rich flavor with lots of veggies & chicken. The store’s ambiance and staff are friendly too! Can’t believe they are the only one RAX in Illinois :,) hope to see more RAX in the future!“

“10 outta 10. Last 3 times we sat with Haleigh. A Monday Wednesday Saturday good time w bros. Moving around the restaurant like it's all her tables. Even with our Togo order . Apps and food came out in perfect time. Whiskey good and beers ice cold“

“Wanted to give a huge shout out to the Joliet location. We stopped there after taking my grandmother to the casino and she didn’t have her wheelchair. She walks but very slowly. The staff was super kind and made sure she had a walkway and opened all the doors for her. They didn’t rush her or make her feel bad for taking a while! They cared and were so helpful! Great food and great staff! Thank you!“

“Four of us from Dwight ate there Thursday night. Everything was outstanding. The pork chops were well seasoned and moist. My veal and smashed sweet potato was to die for. And the bread pudding was delicious. Missed several items on the menu, I will be back. Kudos to you and your staff for a fantastic evening!“

“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“

“Crab legs were awesome and tasty.“

“I have to write a super positive review about a waitress here. This is my favorite place to have a wholesome, down to earth, old-fashioned breakfast or lunch. The food is so tasty and done well but the main reason I comeback is because of the waitress Suzanne! She is so personable and attentive. She lives in the area so you can converse with her about local issues and know she is feeling the pain about things going on in our town right now. She's gentle and funny and really knows her stuff. I depend on her recommendations often. She is a hidden treasure in Joliet and should be recognized for the exceptional job she brings to her job.“

“great food at great prices“

“Heroes is a great sports bar with food that’s better than most sports bars. I have eaten here several times over the last 3 years but it was tonight that I was impressed and decided to give a review. Don’t get me wrong the food has always been on point but if you know me a little bit from my other reviews, I don’t do them unless it’s something great. Well tonight I had the normal honor of sitting at the bar because I’m a traveler for work but tonight was different! I met a wonderful bartender named Taylor. She’s is amazing with a wonderful attitude and gifted ability to produce a common midwestern drink but different! As if you could make an Old Fashioned different and better.. well challenge accepted Taylor said, and did she deliver well heck yeah! Stop by and see Taylor (otherwise known as the girl with blue hair) psss there’s a story there too but she doesn’t have blue hair anymore..“

“The Pecan Pumpkin pancakes are AMAZING!!
And our waitress Consuela is the most attentive and amazing server! She remembers customers orders, interacts and just has a great overall attitude (SHE is the reason this restaurant is the BEST!)“

“Always a great experience and variety of food…“
