“Took my mom out to lunch here, prices are very nice for very good food. Wait staff is students who seem unsure of themselves but no one minded. No vegetarian options available, as every dish had meat. 29 dollars for two large entrées and a desert. The restaurant needs clearer signage as we needed to ask a lady at the service desk to point us in the right direction (it is on the second floor).”

“We went here on August 19th at around 9:15 a.m. Thwre was no wait time. We were seated and only had to wait about 2 to 3 minutes for our waitress to come take our order. From that time to us getting our food was maybe 8 minutes. Food came out freshly cooked and hot! Amazing food. I tried The Tractor Pull and it was delicious. My husband has The Melting Pot Skillet and it was so meaty which is what he was looking for. Staff was friendly and all of them worked together to make sure the restaurant ran smoothly. During the time we were seating they had people waiting to be seated, but just watching their turn around time was fast and accommodating.”

18 The Reserve

4.2 Good 265 Reviews

151 N Joliet St, Joliet · 8.87 miles

“I invited my family to join me at The Reserve so I could treat them. In the past I had them join me at Buckinghams in Elgin, who's atmosphere is old fashioned, so I was excited for them to experience the atmosphere at The Reserve, which is a larger restaurant, and more lively. I was so very disappointed that we were seated in a side room with 2 other tables. One of the other tables had a large gathering, and it was way too loud for the room. The room's lighting was brighter and almost medicinal compared with the main restaurant ...so overall the atmosphere was sub-par. Our server was excellent, and overall the food was enjoyed by most of my family, however the cook on the steaks was inconsistent. I ordered medium well, and it was very well done. The server suspected there'd be an issue when she delivered the steak, and had me cut into it right away. Once I saw that it was overdone, they promptly started a new one. Another of my guests ordered their's medium rare, and their's was medium well. He didn't want to bother waiting for another one since it took a while for the dinners to arrive at the same time to start with, and he was over the whole wait game. The appetizers, soups and drinks were served promptly, but the wait on the dinner was too long...to the point that you almost forgot what you ordered.”

“I’ve ordered takeout and dine in here recently. It was amazing! Food came out hot. The biscuits and gravy, and build your own omelette was so good. Big portion of hashbrowns and good sized omelette! Smash burger and poor boy were also a 10/10. I loved how the bathrooms had complete privacy. They have rubber stoppers that completely block that annoying gap between the door in public restrooms where you can see through! Service was great! Larissa was so kind and patient when dealing with a customer in our section who was not having a great experience! Love the artwork on the walls! Definitely will be coming back soon!”

“I rarely write reviews, but I had to share my experience at the Culver’s on Larkin. From the moment my sister and I walked in, Julius at the counter treated us with exceptional kindness and respect. He deserves a raise! He asked for my name when I ordered and continued to address me by name throughout my entire visit, which made the experience feel so personal and welcoming. I usually visit the Shorewood location, but I’ll definitely be coming back to the Joliet Culver’s just to see Julius again. Outstanding customer service like his is hard to find! The food was amazing, as always, and the restaurant was clean and well-maintained. Overall, a fantastic experience from start to finish.”

“I was in the area and had lunch there a couple of times. Their hot dogs were great. Two are a full meal. Plus you can purchase them without fries which I favor just because I’m not a “fry guy”. Their were a lot of positive reviews about the Italian beef so I took the plunge. The reviews are quite accurate. The beef sandwich is definitely a healthy portion. You definitely get what you’re paying for. The beef is super lean if that’s what you like. I would’ve liked a little bit more spice, but that’s just a personal preference. Overall I would give both lunches five stars.”

“My hubby and I finally made it into White Horse Inn for lunch after years of driving by saying, “We really need to try that place!” Well, we finally did, and it was such a great experience! Our waitress, Julie M., was amazing—so friendly, attentive, and welcoming. We had a small issue with a steak being cooked just a touch more than we ordered, but the way it was handled really impressed us. Not only did they take care of it right away with genuine apologies, but they continuously checked in with us while the replacement was being prepared so we never felt like we were waiting and wondering. That kind of service says a lot about how much they truly care about their guests. Between the cozy atmosphere, delicious food, and fantastic service, we left saying, “Why did we wait so long to stop here?!” We’ll definitely be back—sooner rather than later!”

“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 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.”
