“Ordered the pork chops with bean greens and cornbread, and just from the first look and smell I can already tell this is going to be something special. Everything looks fresh, well-seasoned, and made with real care. The pork chops are cooked beautifully and the greens have that rich, slow-cooked flavor you expect from true soul food. The cornbread ties it all together perfectly.

Places like this remind you what comfort food is supposed to taste like. You can tell there’s heart behind the cooking here. If you’re in Joliet and want real soul food that feels homemade and satisfying, this spot is definitely worth stopping by.”

She ended up in the reeds by Five Guys. The manager and two other employees help catch my foster pup! This could have ended horribly, but didn't. I'm eternally grateful! Thank you!!!”

Big Apple Cafe 106 N Larkin Ave, Joliet Breakfast • $

“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.”

“I placed an order for a jumbo cheese dog and fries and had to wait in the drive thru line over 30 minutes. They said they had a system issue but after reading the reviews I doubt that's the case. I got in line at 6:59 and placed my order it's now 7:33 and I just got the bag. I can't move anywhere because nobody else has their food so I have to sit here and wait. This is absolutely ridiculous. I ordered a jumbo cheese dog with tomato and pickle only and a large fry. I open the bag there's a cup in there with a tomato and pickle in it and a cup of cheese missing my hot dog and my fries. It's now 7:37 and I'm still waiting and my order is incorrect. Who just orders a cup of cheese and a pickle and a tomato. I left there at 8:03 finally with my hot dog and fries”

7 Brew Coffee 2421 W Jefferson St, Joliet Coffee Shops • $

“First of all, it seems the busier they are, the faster the line moves. A few weeks ago I had to leave after ten minutes. I was the second car in line. The entire time.

The coffee is good, don't get me wrong, but it seems to me they purposefully take longer when they don't have a line, because the line is their advertising.

Why do I think their line is their advertising? Because I've been the seventh car multiple times, and I'll have coffee in my hand in five minutes.

The drive thru and parking lot have been a problem. For a business that seems to use having a line as their calling card for attracting business, one would think their parking lot would be set up to contain a line of cars. Instead, the drive thru is set up to spill out onto the street. Seriously, the building could.. And should.. Be turned 180° on the property; so cars can wrap counter-clockwise, get their coffee on the East end of the building, and exit. But.. Blocking the traffic is more than likely on purpose, so everybody sees the line and gets FOMO and stops to buy a $7 coffee.

A $7 coffee that honestly is pretty good.”
