“Marissa was out server. We were visiting family from out of town. She was super friendly and on top of things! Food was good enough, nothing like wow worthy. Would come back! Atmosphere and service is the difference maker here for sure!!!! Will come back to avoid in-laws!!!!!!“
“Friendly atmosphere and good food , fast service. we asked for gluten free food and they knew what it was! When I visit Joliet to meet with my good friend, we always stop at Vela's for lunch. Is it the good food? Yes! Is it the friendly, but professional service? Yes! Is it the kind of place where you can just relax,spend time and not feel rushed with friends or family in the warmth of an enjoyable restaurant? Absolutely! The cost of lunch, also makes it a practical choice for families and friends to enjoy. You know I love it so much, that I'm going back tomorrow.“
“Excellent adult beverages, prepared expertly by Michelle. I highly recommend the $2 early bird specials. I enjoyed her dirty gin martini, stirred, not shaken to avoid too much dilution. Michelle attracts an intelligent, well mannered soft spoken clientele. Check it out for yourself soon.“
“Wonderful server, she went above and beyond to make sure we had the best experience. Brought out holiday treats and extra chips for us and made sure our drinks were always full. Phenomenal food, good sized plates for a great price. Loved this cute little place! Perfect for a cozy and fun lunch/dinner.“

“We were in town visiting my mom and wanted a place to play pool. Didn't know what to expect when we pulled into the parking lot. So glad we went it. It was clean, great food, bartender super friendly.Great place to unwind, eat and play some pool and darts.“
“The good: Great food, cold beer-- love the patio! Somewhat of a dive, but a comfortable one at that. Prices are great and the people friendly. The bad: Flat soda, dirty soda gun, food is faster than the drinks, that drop off from the bar area to the patio by the door... I plan on revisiting again, its a great little hideaway!“
“I've heard alot of talk about this establishment in the Joliet area from locals. I know it's been open for years so I'm surprised it doesn't have more reviews. It's an old school neighborhood bar. It can easily be confused as a house. Small but cozy establishment with a great atmosphere. The bar features a fair variety of drinks. The bartender Jerry was also friendly. The bar has clean and really warm bathrooms. A beautiful patio and a pool table too! Prices are fair and parking isn't bad either. Always a fan of neighborhood bars like this so I wouldn't mind coming back“
“Stellar! Had the burrito was amazing. Brought my family there with 2 little girls, they accommodated us perfectly. The staff was friendly and food came out so quick didn't even have time to enjoy the chips and salsa. Loved it, will be visiting again.“
“Stopped in to see some bands last night. The owner remembered me from my chemo party I had there 6 years ago. He is a great host. One bartender refused to let us order food even though kitchen was still open another hour. I noticed the cook and asked him, he said put in an order. Went to different bartender and she put in our order. The owner then came and brought us some delicious pickle spear fries. Good night!“
