“I tried this place for the first time yesterday. I feel like I made a mistake by not going earlier, because I think some of the better flavors probably sell out quicker. The girl working the counter was super friendly, and made great suggestions. My favorite donut that I tried was probably the cherry flavored one. The last time I had something similar was from Thornton's gas station and I really liked it. I was happy to find it again. The caramel apple was also delicious, it reminded me of an apple pie filing inside. It was not overly sweet either. The honey dip was pretty good. It's very similar to a plain, old-fashioned, just slightly different. I have not tried the sprinkled one yet, but I'm sure it's also good. The donut shop is nice, I believe they are open 24 hours and they are very reasonable. Four donuts only cost me $6.15. Great prices!!“

“I am from out of town and thought I would stop in for lunch. Honestly I have to say the Korean short ribs were the best that I have ever had. I’ve had them many many places in different states and by far theirs is the best. Very nice very friendly and I will be back a few times before I head back to Ohio. I wish I could take them with me.“

“They have the best steaks. Love the atmosphere.Free blooming onion with a 20 oz Ribeye steak on this visit. Riss was a great waitress. Highly recommend her.Oct 25, 23Some things have changed as the onion added to steak had a different flavor, almost like a French onion with gravy. The steaks where under cooked. Requested medium, but it was medium rare. The shrimp was very good, well cooked.Apr 12, 24The food was much better, and our server Sam was attentive andvery friendly and helpful. My wife's steak was supposed to be well done but came out medium, but they took care to cook it more and brought it out the way she requested.“

“Ok, we went thru the drive-thru, so ambience can't be part of my review. That lets us focus straight on the food. Now, I remember Rax from decades ago. I've not had a Rax Roast Beef since 1989 or 1990. And a big pox on management for not showing any solid leadership - someone must have paid the C-suite to tank the brand, as they've shrunk mightily. One would think it's the food. Au contraire. We got a regular Rax, a King Rax, and Twisty Fries, along with a chocolate shake. WOW. I was blown away. It essentially tossed the Arby's roast beef into the garbage- the bun was warm, soft, buttery..... the meat? Spectacular. their BBQ sauce was less tasty than I'd remembered- the Twisty Fries were just spot on fantastic! Why this place isn't growing again is beyond me! The food is awesome, and we'll gladly make the drive from the NW Suburbs to Joliet to have this delectable roast beef sandwich again. Try it- it's REALLY good!“

It’s slow during the day, so no problem getting a table for a dozen people without notice or calling ahead. And at night it can be hopping pretty good at the bar due to the hotel crowd.Kalena has been an amazing manager, and the bartender Jen is great as well!Parking: Lots if space for truckers & RV’s out back!“

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!“
