“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.”

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.

Juliet's Tavern 205 N Chicago St, Joliet American • $$

“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!”

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..”

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.”

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

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.”

Thirty-Buck 753 Ruby St, Joliet Bar • $$

“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.”

Cemeno's Pizza 1630 Essington Rd, Joliet Pizza • $

“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.”

Portillo's Joliet 1444 N Larkin Ave, Joliet Burgers • $

“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”

Heroes West Sports Grill 1530 Commerce Ln, Joliet Bar & Grill • $

“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..”
