Lets start with the internal temperature. Its HOT IN HERE. Like standing in a hot kitchen hot.The staff. It seems one who knows what they are doing, calm cool and collected.The other is running around like a chicken with their head cut off and verbally complaining about their job at a level customers can hear.The third might be a younger child of a staff member helping out, on their phone alot and moping around.The food. French toast good. But if a tall stack is three slices, what is a short stack?Eggs, NO seasoning. Grits i think are instant because they were a clump like a wet dumpling and sludgy watery also with no seasoning.I would not reccomend this place. They are maybe an 1/8th full. I cant imagine this place busy.
I'm from Chicago Heights and had to go to court so figured I'd come here with my Auntie. I ordered oatmeal with Eggs & cheese! Order came up very promptly, food was Hot,and our waitress was Amazing! I'll be back next month early for sure! ???✌️?
I loved the atmosphere of this diner. The pancakes were so good I had to get more for the rode. The location that it is in isn't so bad also and had a easy time getting to it for it being in downtown Joliet.
I've only ever had breakfast here. But everytime it's been really good. Food is good, service is good, and price is cheap. I really like the atmosphere and decor. It's like stepping back in the past.
Can't say enough good things about this place. The food is always great and the staff are extremely friendly and attentive. Whenever we are in Joliet, we always have breakfast at this homestyle restaurant.
Take me back….this cafe is like stepping back in time, in a good way. Incredibly clean is the first thing I noticed. Then the friendly smiles welcome you. My favorite part is the fluffy pancakes, perfectly cooked scrambled eggs and yummy hot coffee. My husband’s favorite was the corned beef hash omelet, he’d never had anything like it. Thank you so much!
Place has a nostalgic atmosphere, menu had a lot to offer. Coffee was great diner old school coffee that gives you that needed punch. Food was a bit on the plain side. My potatoes had no seasoning, omelet was a bit on the loose side, could have been cooked longer, the fresh mushrooms in my omelet were not pre-sauted so they was undercooked and they was giant chunks not sliced. I ended up taking it home and cooking it longer. My sisters biscuits appeared to be ready made frozen biscuits warmed on the flat top griddle. She asked for her gravy on the side and they gave her a bowl of gravy and put some on her biscuits which she did not want, she wanted to add her own gravy. At best overall bland mediocre food.
Food was good. Was convenient and close by the casino. Was in and out in 15 minutes with my take out order. Will go again the next time I'm visiting Joliet
Perfect little greasy spoon with the Route 66 kitsch you want in a place like this. Big portions, great comfort foods. Also: they have grits! I don't often see grits thus far north, and it made me very happy.
Went in on a recommendation; was pleasantly surprised on dinning experience. Dinning room was well kept; clean and odor free. Even short staffed (which is a warning on door sign as you walk in) we were waited on promptly. Staff was friendly, knowledgeable and prompt. Food was good; portion and price was comparable. Will definitely be patronizing this business and trying different meals!??
