“We had a funeral luncheon today, perfect location for the Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery- the set up/family style food they have specifically for this type of event is great- private area, pleanty of food, good food. But what made me come on to leave a review was the great waitress we had. She went above and beyond, finding out my daughter couldn't eat much because her wisdom teeth had been pulled last week, and got her pleanty of mashed potatoes, and she was able to take some to go too. I know it doesn't sound like much, but when your 13, you haven't been able to eat much for the past week, have to go to all day funeral services, and then a lunch where your not sure what you will be able to eat, her kindness was very much appreciated! Thank you!“

“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.“

“Local eatery with great fast food. You must visit it if you are stopping by Joliet. Visiting this place will help you know one thing or two about this town. It's frugal, family owned, and local. Also, they have great prices. Would definitely recommend it.“

“Great service! Took care of my girl's dietary restrictions.“

“all the food l have tried has been great!“

“One of our favorites! Great food and friendly staff. Fast service too.“

“I have two favorite breakfast places and this is one of them!
We have had dine in and take out and we are never disappointed. The food is scrumptious. The portions are pretty large so sometimes I'll place an order and divide it for the week as a meal prep hack.
The staff is friendly and the restaurant is clean.“

“Great atmosphere, excellent service...we even know some of the waitresses and have come to know the rest. They are super nice and friendly. Menu options are legit and portion sizes are very generous. Everything I have had here is made to perfection especially their chicken soup and stuffed avocado and stuffed tomato. Their French dip is Tops! Keep doing what you are doing. :)“

“Due to the Corona Virus, it’s been awhile since we’ve gone any where and like most of America, by now we’ve gotten cabin fever seriously. We decided to take a short trip to visit my brother and his wife and there’s a Denny’s that we always stopped at on the way to Shaker Heights, Ohio. Being creatures of habit, we thought we would stop as usual to see if they’re still serving. They were. We were greeted by a masked hostess named Kellie who looked like she had just put away her disinfectant bottle and her thermometer gun. The restaurant seemed especially spotless and they were social distancing to such an extent it seemed empty. They had put plexiglas partitions between the booths and they were only seating every other booth. Had we not been wearing masks, you would have seen the smiles of approval on our faces. The Super Slam was still on the menu. It was served hot and delicious. The. coffee warmed my soul as usual and we left feeling we had made a very good choice.“

“I just had another party at the alley bar and grill and all my guests complimented on the food, service and awesome atmosphere. I can't say enough about the event coordinators and their help and ideas to assure the party is a success. The waitresses were also the best. Thank you again Alley.“

“Awesome place. You would never expect such great food from a place out in the boondocks. I like the tomato basil wrap and hubby loves the fish sandwiches. Prices are so reasonable with great portions. And the seasoned fries are to die for! Love it! We go out of our way to go to this place for food.“
