“Friendly atmosphere and good food , fast service. we asked for gluten free food and they knew what it was! When I visit Joliet to meet with my good friend, we always stop at Vela's for lunch. Is it the good food? Yes! Is it the friendly, but professional service? Yes! Is it the kind of place where you can just relax,spend time and not feel rushed with friends or family in the warmth of an enjoyable restaurant? Absolutely! The cost of lunch, also makes it a practical choice for families and friends to enjoy. You know I love it so much, that I'm going back tomorrow.“
“Date night for us on a Friday night. Came early, that was a good thing because we didn’t have a reservation. Blackened white fish with steak fries and skirt steak with risotto—delicious!!! Limoncello cake for dessert ! Service was great thanks to the owner who seated us and Susan our server. Will definitely return with friends.“
“Great little place , been there a few times . They have free popcorn that's fresh n delish , the pizza is thin n crispy and also really goooood !! Bobby is quite the host , he's super nice and funny too ! Always a great time and love the fact that it's cozy although it does get pretty busy lol I will be going there from now on . The service is always awesome and friendly ! Try it you won't be disappointed!“
“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.“
“The Wait staff and bartenders are friendly. Just don't go for the fish fry if you are hungry and don't have a bunch of time to wait. After 1.5 hours and several promises, I finally got the truth, I'm not getting food. After a couple more struggles they repayed me. I've had the fish in the past and it is very good. Just way to disorganized and unprepared for the crowds they get. They need a better system in place. I'll give it another shot but will go right when they open for hopefully better results.“
“We come here almost every week. They have darts, a pool table, music, and slots. Bar tenders are friendly and learn your drinks and your name. It's a neighborhood Cheers. It's a nice local place to meet people and laid back to just relax from your day.“
“This is the best bar in Joliet. You can and experience the best atmosphere the best beef sandwiches in Joliet. You will find that the bartenders are very welcoming, nice, and good-looking. No drama. Please come down and have some fun and enjoy.“
