I stopped by this Checkers in Joliet around 1 AM this morning and had a really disappointing…read moreexperience. We ordered two double spicy chicken sandwiches, a fish sandwich, and a burger. Unfortunately, the food was nothing like I remember Checkers being. Everything was extremely salty--to the point it was basically inedible--and we ended up throwing most of it out. On top of that, they forgot the apple pie I ordered. What made it worse was the aftermath. The next morning, I woke up with a very upset stomach, and when I spoke with my buddy later, he said he was sick all day as well. Overall, this was a really poor experience. Between the quality of the food, the missing item, and getting sick afterward, I definitely won't be coming back to this location or any Checkers if this is the quality of food and service I will be receiving.

You know I have never really been to a Checkers, but we were out in Joliet and came to a corner…read morewhere our choice was White Castle (which I love) or Checkers (which I didn't have any history with). The Checkers was part and parcel with a gas station on the corner, so you have to get by that. We decided to be bold and try the Checkers - and we are glad we did. We had a cheeseburger (5 star good and really a surprise for flavorful and perfectly done) and a fried chicken sandwich (4 star very good, could only have been a bit crispier but overall excellent). The fries we shared were also good (3 stars as they have that crispy coating some restaurants like to put on them). Since we hit this place right at lunch time, everything was fresh for us. All in all this was an excellent meal. We wouldn't hesitate to stop by again.

First off, I'm what you'd call a soup granny -- I live for a good cup of soup -- and this Mr. Sub always understands the assignment. While other locations might toss out one lonely option, Joliet's got multiple soups every day like it's their full-time job. Chicken noodle? Chicken gumbo? Cream of chicken and rice? Yes, please. I'm basically one punch card away from moving in. The chicken breast salad? Fresh, crisp, and makes me feel like I'm making good life choices (even if I follow it up with fries). But the Gyro King Sub... oh my. That thing is what dreams -- and possibly Greek love songs -- are made of. It's full of meat, drenched in sauce, and served piping hot. Honestly, I'd write poetry about it if I could stop eating long enough to grab a pen. Joliet Mr. Submarine, you're the one. Never change.

It's unfortunate the prices have gone up so much but I do love ordering off their breakfast menu at any time of the day.

This place is always a place where people come to have protests or ralleys as well in front of the White Castle as well.

IT ALL ADDS UP…read more Download enough fast food apps, and you eventually *can* get what amounts to a free lunch. Recently, the generous people at Chick-fil-A loaded a few surprise rewards on my CFA mobile app (a free large drink, free bag of waffle chips) and that spurred me to stop here for lunch the other day.  This location on Larkin Ave in Joliet opened in August 2025, so it's still relatively new. Despite there only being a single car in front of me, the drive-thru wait exceeded 5+ minutes.  On a return visit, the drive-thru was somehow even slower and even the mobile ordering line (which is typically speedier) was a solid 10 minutes.  What gives? After my visit, I got yet another notification to complete a quick survey for -- you guessed it -- a free sandwich.  The carousel of freebies keeps turning!  Protip: always ask for "lite ice" in your drink, otherwise you wind up getting nearly 80% ice and only a few sips of actual soft drink.   * TL;DR * Prior to my posting, this Chick-fil-A only had two reviews: one 5-star and one 1-star.  With the median rating already sitting at an underwhelming 3*, this review will neither help nor hinder that. I've been to a handful of CFA's in the Chicago metro area, and this one is BY FAR the slowest.  Whether due to understaffing or a general lack of training, there seems to be no urgency in getting orders out the door.

All in all, this is an overall decent spot to grab a few tacos and enjoy a nice meal. The ambiance,…read morewhile nothing fancy, is decent enough and bright and cheerful. As for the ambiance of a Mexican restaurant, I prefer these hole-in-the-wall type places over a fancy type ambiance. For me, Mexican food is one of my favorite cuisines, but I have never associated it with a high-end, high dollar cuisine that needs a high-end ambiance. For me, the real star in a Mexican restaurant is the food. The service was friendly enough and again, the food was good. The asada tacos were good and I would definitely recommend them. If you are in the area, check them out.

I got the same feedback about my parents' tortas. I think they have a good concept though and hope that it comes to life a little more. As I said though, staff was the standout here. They were excellent. Food may need some tweaks but there's promise here. Location is modern for being in this casino. I hope to see it evolve more with flavor of the food.

Absolutely delicious and a large bowl, with a bit of fresh cilantro, onions and chip strips to add crunch and more flavor. The bowl of soup is a meal itself.

There's different seating arrangements…read moreto fit your comfortability whether it's a table, booth or single seat with a storefront view. Today we ordered a maple bacon milkshake, peanut butter milkshake, 1/4 pound grilled cheese burger on toast, 1/2 pound New Orleans burger and a shareable basket of parmesan truffle fries. Let's start with the positives, the shakes were well made and not overwhelmingly sweet and we liked that a lot. My husband's 1/2 pound burger seemed a little small and my grilled cheese burger said it would be on Texas toast but it seemed like it was sourdough bread and not really thick cut like Texas toast should be. I was looking forward to eating here because the pictures of the fries online looked long and thick cut, the basket of fries we got didn't look like that at all and lacked Parmesan cheese. The negative experience was the fact the water tasted weird. I took one sip and tasted a weird chemical taste but my husband and I didn't complain, we just paid and left. I don't know if it was the water or the cup but it definitely had a weird taste. Overall, the experience was ok. I think we had higher expectations seeing all the pictures online. The name of the place threw us both off because we thought it was a Latino owned burger joint with a Mexican twist but that wasn't the case at all.
