“Nice small friendly place. After fours hours of having a small get together, they didn't kick us out but they all did say bye to us. This was either them saying, 'Finally we get our table back' or just saying bye. Haha. I will go back, they have good food!“

“I tried this place for the first time yesterday. I feel like I made a mistake by not going earlier, because I think some of the better flavors probably sell out quicker. The girl working the counter was super friendly, and made great suggestions. My favorite donut that I tried was probably the cherry flavored one. The last time I had something similar was from Thornton's gas station and I really liked it. I was happy to find it again. The caramel apple was also delicious, it reminded me of an apple pie filing inside. It was not overly sweet either. The honey dip was pretty good. It's very similar to a plain, old-fashioned, just slightly different. I have not tried the sprinkled one yet, but I'm sure it's also good. The donut shop is nice, I believe they are open 24 hours and they are very reasonable. Four donuts only cost me $6.15. Great prices!!“

“Ok, we went thru the drive-thru, so ambience can't be part of my review. That lets us focus straight on the food. Now, I remember Rax from decades ago. I've not had a Rax Roast Beef since 1989 or 1990. And a big pox on management for not showing any solid leadership - someone must have paid the C-suite to tank the brand, as they've shrunk mightily. One would think it's the food. Au contraire. We got a regular Rax, a King Rax, and Twisty Fries, along with a chocolate shake. WOW. I was blown away. It essentially tossed the Arby's roast beef into the garbage- the bun was warm, soft, buttery..... the meat? Spectacular. their BBQ sauce was less tasty than I'd remembered- the Twisty Fries were just spot on fantastic! Why this place isn't growing again is beyond me! The food is awesome, and we'll gladly make the drive from the NW Suburbs to Joliet to have this delectable roast beef sandwich again. Try it- it's REALLY good!“

“This diner is 2 short blocks from Harrah's which is nice. We were greeted with smiles and good mornings from staff when we entered. We ordered the 2x2x2 breakfast and a breakfast sandwich on a croissant. The eggs with the 2x breakfast were a little over cooked. Great sausage links that arrived very warm. Yay! The pancakes were big and fluffy. The breakfast sandwich was tasty. The hash browns needed to be cooked another minute. We like them on the crispy side. Excellent service. Our waitress was on top of things. The vibe is an older diner with good food and excellent service.“

“10/10, I looooove this place! Has not failed me. The menu has great selections that flow together so well. Our server this time was great, he had just started 3 days prior and did so awesome. I forgot his name but, shout out to you great job love! So first... don't call me crazy on this til you try it... ALWAYS here I start off with a Bloody Mary, and, hear me out, with a side of ranch! Their Bloodies consist of pickle, bacon, green olive, lime, celery, and cucumber. I take the toothpick full of these delicious add ons and dip it right in the ranch. It's like an appetizer in itself. So next I ordered the fried pickles, which came with a spicy-ish kind of ranch. Was delicious. I know you'd think "well the bloody mary has pickles in it already!" which, yes, they do. But i'm on a mission to try every appetizer from this place atleast once, so I went with the fried pickles. Last time was the onion rings w/ garlic dressing & ranch. Those were a freaking hit as well. Finally, off their special menu, I ordered the corned beef & cabbage. What an excellent decision this was. It was a PERFECT portion for 2 people because we split it. The corned beef was so tender n tasteful! Love this atmosphere here. The servers n patrons are all friendly and it's not too loud or crowded, but they do get busy and I totally see why. There's tvs everywhere too so you can watch your favorite sport while indulging in this delicious f*cking food! Lol. Definitely recommend, and if you try the bloody w/ ranch, let me know how you like it hehe (you're welcome for that idea because you won't regret it.) 10/10, can't wait for next time“

The food was tasty and all special requests were met promptly. They still have Tuesdays where kids eat free. In today's economy, you don't find that much anymore. We had a rather large group and enjoyed a nice midweek family dinner that wasn't crazy priced. We will be back!“

“It was ok. I gave it a 3 Pay a lot for what you get. I thought I was going to get a lot of beef flavor but no. Bread was ok. Could barely taste the vegetables. The Au Jus bread is a waste of money. Try something other than what I had.Edit: no it’s a 4. Get the gyro. It’s excellent. Still over priced but excellent nonetheless.“
