“🤩 wow so blown away with everything here and impressed by service and hospitality plus the food is amazing. I highly recommend to give it try!”
“Agreed by my husband and I both, EASILY a top 3 pick for us since we started doing new food Friday a couple of months ago. Forno Pizzeria & Bar was AMAZING! Awesome service, great menu options for drinks and meals, made sure to get our little ones food out first, fabulous vibe, a complete 10/10 for us!!!!!!! Highly recommend if you haven't tried it!!!!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had our Nov. 2024 wedding rehearsal at Cut 158 and were completely impressed and happy with our experience. The food is excellent and the service was top notch. The staff made us feel very welcome and taken care of the entire night. They added little cute touches like our picture on the menu that made it feel special and their new space is really modern and perfect for events. We highly recommend this restaurant for special occasions or just a nice dinner out. We have been coming here with our family the last few years and it is an amazing gem in Joliet.”

“I brought my mom here for her birthday dinner before our show at the Rialto theater. We are not from the Joliet area and I was looking for a nice place that offered pescatarian options (vegetarian that eats seafood). A few minutes after we were seated, my mom had a dizzy spell and the staff was incredibly sweet and helpful. They swiftly brought her crackers and offered to do anything they could to help. Luckily the spell passed quickly and she was able to enjoy her delicious birthday meal. We ordered the brussels and the parmesan bruschetta to start, both delicious and we are still talking about those sprouts! We both had the salmon and smashed potatoes, both cooked perfectly and the smashed potatoes were addictive. We started with cocktails and ended with the baklava cheesecake, all excellent. We couldn't have asked for a better experience, from our sweet attentive waitress to the beautiful atmosphere of the tastefully decorated historic building, the meal, drinks and dessert...all perfect! Thank you Juliet's for a wonderful meal. We will see you again!”
“Samantha was absolutely phenomenal, extremely personable, not overwhelming & truly a peach! Our family of 5 celebrated my parents anniversary & she exceeded all expectations. My twin sons shared a tomahawk & I swear it was as smooth as butter, absolutely delicious! The mashed potatoes, brussel sprouts, lobster ravioli w/scallops & lobster soup (yes I sampled everything lol) were all cooked PERFECTLY!! Wonderful experience ?”

“My cousin took me here for my birthday and I had a great time!! The bartender, Shelly, was the sweetest, nicest person ever! She was so helpful at picking drinks for me. I haven't been to very many bars and I really don't drink but she helped me pick out a couple really good drinks! The atmosphere and the other people drinking at the bar was so good. Everyone was so nice and just wanted to have a good time. At a point I even met parts of her family. I love a family bar ? ? Thank you for an awesome birthday!! ???”
“Had a party of 100 and Brad took good care of us. EVERYONE LOVED the pizza and many said that they would order from them”

“Not nearly as great as everyone said it'd be. However, it was still very good. Especially for as cheap at it is nowadays. The sliders are definitely the best thing they have. The atmosphere was quite. But extremely quiet. Talking with my friends in the lobby seemed too loud. Other than that, they had very good customer service. They we're fast and accurate with all of out orders. Will go again!”
“The tacos were amazing! We got two taco dinners and a corn in a cup. The tacos were flavorful and the rice and beans complimented the meal well. The elote was good, nothing amazing, but could have used more toppings. There is a tented seating area to eat your meal. Overall, everything was great so I look forward to going back.”
“Heroes is a great sports bar with food that’s better than most sports bars. I have eaten here several times over the last 3 years but it was tonight that I was impressed and decided to give a review. Don’t get me wrong the food has always been on point but if you know me a little bit from my other reviews, I don’t do them unless it’s something great. Well tonight I had the normal honor of sitting at the bar because I’m a traveler for work but tonight was different! I met a wonderful bartender named Taylor. She’s is amazing with a wonderful attitude and gifted ability to produce a common midwestern drink but different! As if you could make an Old Fashioned different and better.. well challenge accepted Taylor said, and did she deliver well heck yeah! Stop by and see Taylor (otherwise known as the girl with blue hair) psss there’s a story there too but she doesn’t have blue hair anymore..”
“I was at the Byward location a week ago with a friend, this is absolutely our go to for a wonderful night out !!! Our server B was such a sweet young lady , thank you for a lovely evening !!! Our dinner was amazing as usual.”

“This is one of the last well-kept, fresh smelling sandwich shops left in this area. There are no hidden, upnocious, reoccurring woofing odors that hinder nor gives one pause whether they may be chancing food-borne illnesses or not. In fact, most toppings are so freshly, separately identifiable, until it's simply a pleasure to take your time ordering your food... but beware of the other customers who don't have the heightened sensories or don't take the time to slow down and notice simple pleasures as such.”
“I'll admit, I was just here yesterday since I needed to use the bathroom and didn't have anywhere else, but I've eaten here before and yeah the food is what you'd expect from a McDonald's, basic enough but with plenty of variety. Bathroom was clean and in general this place has nice and friendly vibes. Loved it!”
“I stopped in and had a few drinks. The bartender was friendly, not a vast selection of hard alcohol, but they had the regular stuff. I asked for food, but no food was available. 2 pool tables, one dart machine, slot machines with a touch game, and iTunes. It was a small place with no table setting, only a bar, but it looked clean and cozy. The bartender seemed very relaxed.”
“They're still open as of February, 2025. I was told they closed. Not true. They are off the beaten path, but worth the easy hunt. Google maps took me right to the front door. Service was the best part of our visit, but not far behind was the food. Perfectly cooked steaks and shrimp. Plus, the Chocolate/ Carmel dessert was fantastic. See ya there, Mate!”
Takeout Restaurants
“What an amazing option for a post workout snack! I ❤️ the convenience of the grab and go station. Felt so great after having the renew green juice and loved the clean ingredients in the cookie dough bites. Also, absolutely LOVE the fact that they are glass containers and can be returned to reuse! ♻️🌱💚”
“Only my second or third time here, so not a familiar face. Today, I was one of first customers of day, and owner couldn't make change for my $20. He gave me my bill back and told me, we're good, pay me next time. Who does that today? What a good dude! Support him!”
“Always a pleasure going here to eat, and you can’t beat the all you can eat sushi. The wife and I have been going here for years and always had a good experience.”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“I cannot say enough about Tacos Maui! We had their taco truck at our party yesterday. Everyone loved the food. Tacos and sides were hot, fresh, and delicious. Service was efficient and the people are SO NICE. And they are so professional—easy to contact, responsive to questions, and took care of everything just like they said they would. THANK YOU!”
“Drive thru ordered a hot cornbeef sandwich with mustard, and swiss chesses. Went home! well sandwich was cold lettuce, tomatoes onions and mayonnaise . I understand this might have upset some people(which they are entitled to be) but I changed my sandwich to the way I order it and it was just great.”
“Wow, I just want to say WONDERFUL customer service. I walked in 130pm 9/12 & was greeted by employees working. Ordered my husbands usual chicken bacon ranch flatbread with a peanut paradise. I normally get the chicken pesto flatbread but this time I went off and tried the Thai chicken salad. SO GOOD! I also get the peanut paradise and it’s the best. The nice man that was there.. wish I got his name but he took the time to ask how my day has been going, was so enthusiastic to taking my order it was very refreshing. Thank you for a wonderful experience. Keep it up guys!!”
“This isn't about the good (which I love), but about the people! I foster dogs and got a new foster puppy Saturday. She's very shy and afraid of people so she ran from everyone. 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!!!”
“Everything was perfect. We have had some bad meals here but this dinner was perfect. Steaks were cooked perfectly and good cut of meat. Waitress was on the ball!”
“Anyway I ordered iced latte and the French toast! And the French toast was really good!! Nothing extra or special about it, it was plain and simple but it was so good! They cooked it the way I wanted, and the prices are not bad definitely would be back for the rest of the menu.”
Cheap Eats
“Was so disappointed when Great Steak had closed.
Top Buns brings Joliet Mall a stellar sandwich place with some good sides.
I had the steak sandwich, which was excellent. The bread was soft and fresh, but still a bit crusty like a quality bread will have.
I ordered the chicken nuggets just to try them! They were good, did not disappoint.
Didn't order shakes or Mozzarella sticks, but will definitely be back to try
Vegetarian options: They have an impossible burger on the menu”
“I have been eating Cemeno's pizza for as long as I can remember! It is a hometown favorite so I knew I wanted to incorporate it into my wedding in Joliet. Leading up I knew one of our wedding party members has Celiac so when I saw the GF pizza i knew there was a chance! I called in and spoke to a team member in the catering side and the minute I mentioned Celiac she answered all of the prepared questions without me having to ask. We ordered Cemeno's to be delivered to my parents house for the rehearsal dinner. Not only was it right on time but the pizzas were hot and the GF one was in its own box. Obviously, the regular pizzas were amazing as usual but it was so good to hear from my friend that not only was the GF pizza delicious but she was not "glutened". Very happy to say I can highly recommend Cemeno's to all including those with celiac disease.”
“Four of us from Dwight ate there Thursday night. Everything was outstanding. The pork chops were well seasoned and moist. My veal and smashed sweet potato was to die for. And the bread pudding was delicious. Missed several items on the menu, I will be back. Kudos to you and your staff for a fantastic evening!”
“Got there for a chill Sunday lunch and was thrilled to find not only some great bar eats, but also the prettiest Guiness pour this side of the Mississippi! An added bonus was the live music! John Condron and his guitar were an amazing addition to the afternoon! Had a blast, and this place is quickly becoming my new hangout!”

“Met some friends for the Cubs opening day game on one of several television screens. I ordered a half pound burger from Thayer Brothers which is next door. It was prepared perfectly paired with fries and some tasty chicken noodle soup. I was in the mood for a beer on tap and was told they have not had "on tap" for over two years due to the pandemic. I hope they get that situation remedied when I go back.”
“😊. I really recommend this place . Good service. The food was delicious 😋 hope to go again.”
“Excelente servicio, muy limpio, familiar, un lugar agradable para ir a comer y disfrutar de la banda.”

“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”

“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.”
