“Stayed at Harrah’s Casino in Joliet & food at the grill was terrible. Found The Old Fashioned Pancake House Restaurant on Jefferson St in Joliet the next morning and it was amazing. Service was quick, attentive and continuous. Food (breakfast) was simply outstanding and price was very good! I have traveled a lot and this place is a Five Star value in my book.“

“They went above and beyond for our family. We had about 30 people who decided to go out to dinner after a wake. We called and 15 minutes later they had a huge table set up and did an awesome job of taking care of us. Very impressed with the service we received.“

“Always enjoy Al’s, but haven’t been there since Covid. Is salad bar open?“

“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!“

“Some of the most flavorful food I have had in a long time . First time customer, and would definitely be going back.“

“I visited Rax on 07/05/2026 for the first time. I was very excited to try this place as I heard Rax used to be popular in the 90s and this is the only one in Illinois! As I was walking in I loved all the plants it felt very welcoming on the outside. The inside was a 90s look I loved it! The lady at the counter was very nice and the day I went it was empty inside sadly (Sunday Afternoon). But i took my food and headed over to the sunroom it was a warm day out and the sunroom stayed cool as there was hanging plants inside, it was beautiful! Everything here was super nostalgic and I hope it does not change! I got a beef n cheddar with curly fries. Honestly the beef was delicious and similar to Arby's minus the Arby sauce. I will totally be back. After I left I did some research I had no idea this was the 5th location Rax opened during there peak times. Thank you to the owner Terry, I hope your restaurant stays busy and please keep the 90s fast food aesthetics up!!“

“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“

“From the first moment you enter this restaurant the stuff gives you an enjoyable feeling. Very hospitable stuff, it is a good place to to go out with buddies or with your date. enjoyable meals, specialist chief cook and stuff, good pay and nice service. Highly recommended.“

“I got the House Special Mai Fun, added two packets of spy sauce. I really enjoyed my meal, would definitely recommend.

The housemate ordered chicken and broccoli, and the reason we took away a single star, we found a bone in one of her chicken bits. Other than the bone she says it was okay.

The interior of the restaurant was pretty threadbare. Overall a fairly decent place with some good food.“

“Food is on point great service“

“Izzy is the best bartender ever“

“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!!!!“

“My first time here . found this place by accident. I'm glad I stopped and gave it a chance .atmosphere was quite. Had the parrillada de camarones( grilled seafood)). Gave it a 4 on service she needed a little help, maybe someone to come around and check on the Patrons . She made me a very nice strawberry margarita, I was very happy with it.“

“Golden Dragon is quick, affordable option. Every time I call in an order there they are always polite and answer any questions I have about the entrée or item. The turnaround from when you place your order to pickup is quick, generally 15-30 mins. The food is always fresh, hot and ready to go. The entrees and soups are fine, but I wasn't real impressed with alot of the appetizers (especially the egg rolls). My favorite item is the Moo Goo Gai Pan combo platter.“

“All I can say is Mr. Ru is one of a kind! Mr. Ru is a good hearted person, great personality, kind and does his job with professionalism! He takes care of his people, repeats the order double checking making sure everything is right, makes sure everything is to order. Food is always excellent!
Mr. Ru you are very much appreciated my friend! This company is lucky to have you!!
- Mr. Nick!“
