    Specials. Apparently they're all wrong so who cares, just completely ignore them. Be sure to ask when you get there. Or call in advance.

    Came on Friday night for the sole purpose that their website says they have $3.50 Absolute and Effen flavors. Perfect, my friend and I's favorite vodkas. Each had a few, total bill should've been around $20 for what we had. Bill was over $36. When I asked the bar tender about the special tonight, she looked over at her manager (who was out talking to people at the bar after she had just gone behind the bar to make herself a drink) and her manager said oh no that special is on "like Tuesdays or some thing. Not Friday's" i mentioned the website and she looks at me dumbfounded and said " Oh yeah that website has not been updated in like two years. Yeah absolutely not." And when I told her oh that's ridiculous that's the only reason we came, she sarcastically goes "yeah it'll be fixed tomorrow." Thanks lady. Was offered a free beer from the bartender, turned it down because I don't drink it. Bartender was great, not her fault but her manager didn't seem to care one bit and offered nothing to compensate (take off a drink or two, honor the special, or even a simple apology). See ya at Double J down the road

    Great bloody marys

    GOD DAMN I Love the bloody Mary's here, even better on the weekends with the extra calories (chicken chunk and slider).

    I visited here with a client since this is supposedly where they always take their customers. It's…read morea lively sports bar with a big food menu. I looked over the menu and I was in a chicken mood but didn't order their wings. I chose the Hilltopper, a grilled chicken sandwich with bacon and cheese. For some reason it comes on Texas toast while nearly all other sandwiches come on ciabatta or brioche. I switched to brioche. I chose the fresh cut fries as a side dish. When the sandwich comes out, I'm immediately questioning if I ordered the right dish. I wasn't impressed. There are no condiments and no LTO either, just chicken bacon, cheese and pickles, on a dry bun. The fries were clearly not fresh cut, as they looked to be similar to Wendy's. The taste of the sandwich is OK, mainly because of the cajun spices. While my colleagues enjoyed their food, selection is sort of limited here if you're avoiding fried foods, otherwise I would have selected the wings which they're sort of famous for.

I always can smell it when passing by on I-80! It's tucked away, but still gets good business. Our server was nice and attentive. We got our food quickly and everything tasted good.

I am mad at myself for forgetting our female server's name but we were served on Dec 17 around noon. She was a great server. Brother ordered mozzarella sticks which came out right away and were very tasty, served in a cute little cone server. Mother got four sliders off the appetizer menu although it was way too much food. We tried to order the kids portion of sliders but the server told us the restaurant would not allow adults to order kids menu items as their meal. The two sliders went to waste unfortunately. I got the grilled fish tacos but was a bit underwhelmed with the thinness of the fish. A bit rubbery. I ate one whole taco and tried to eat the filling out of the rest. My brother enjoyed his meal which was the Anthony's Favorite Gyros. I would come back again if I was in the area as the service was friendly and they had a very good selection.

    Boring sports bar in Joliet, with the usual okay drinks and fried foods. It gets busy, but it's…read moremore because of the games on TV, and having a place to watch these than anything here you can get. Anthony's is considered a sports bar. Obviously they have a crap ton of memorabilia. The menu is pretty expected and filled with classic greasy fried things. A pretty average looking place to be honest. It's almost as if this building used to be a chain like Applebee's or something. There's not a lot of charm, just loud TVs and yelling. Only a bit busy coming in. We were able to find bar seats. Has lots of great specials going on. It's $5.50 to get Jameson on Saturdays. As for the food menu it's pretty meaty. It's $11 for Hot Soft Pretzels. A lot of the rest of it is stuff like burgers. There's also pastas and pizzas. Seems like everything gets meat on it. The other stuff is pretty greasy as we saw on the other plates. For sure it's a great place for watching sports and other types of games. It's located by the Louis Joliet Mall so you can eat here after you go there. The area as far as restaurants is sucking and this is one of the better options for family, friends, or for whoever.
