    This is a locally owned place which makes it awesome! The owners/cooks/cashiers are always friendly. If you’re visiting/taking classes at the junior college or staying in the hotels nearby this is a perfect spot to stop for lunch or dinner. The gyros are delicious and they offer generous portions. If you’re feeling adventurous they are known for there wheezes! My goodness they are to die for. Super cozy inside and they have video game betting if you’re interested in that.

    Loved everything I've tried so far. The Philly cheesesteak with peppers and onions was excellent. Will continue to try the menu while I'm in Joliet. Friendly and helpful staff. Prices are like every other place right now, but this is better food than other fast food places. And the food comes out fast. Highly recommend this place!

    Great spot! They have a lot to choose from on their menu and I want to go back to try more of their stuff. I had the Philly Cheese steak and it was terrific. Prices are fair too and the drive though service was incredibly friendly. If you're in the area and looking for a spot to eat, this is it.

    This place is amazing. The service was delightful. The hand crafter burgers and gyros was delicious. This place is in a small town but it has big taste. This is a restaurant that deserves chains around the nation. I didn’t get their specialty Weezees’s but the double cheeseburger was top grade meat and top their taste. Thanks Jimmy K’s

    I always come here because I love the Italian beef sandwiches. They are packed full of beef and are delicious. Today I went in and noticed halfway through, I wasn't paying attention, the that sandwich is light. It had about half the beef it always has. I brought it back to the counter where a guy laughed and said..."yeah it is small" then he brought it back to the back to show the cook. The cook said they are portioned and there is nothing he can do. I bought that and a side of like 6 mozz sticks with a drink for a total of 17 dollars and some change. I didnt get any food and am still hungry. Rip off. Never had an issue before which is weird. And the cook refusing to fix an obviously small and underweight sandwich was the worst part. Sadly, I wont be back here.

    Well I was driving by and it was 12pm so I thought I could try this place as I hadnt seen it before. I actually saw it by accident when actually heading to the mcdonalds. There was no one in line at all or in the parking lot, which is kind of odd being lunchtime. But i love street food! I ordered a Polish with everything, Fries, Pepsi, and Mozzarella sticks. The polish was ok, not the best I have had, not the worst! Smaller than I thought it would be with a lot of mustard but it was ok. The fries were white and cold in the center, they were not cooked. I pretty much will always eat fries and not complain, but I couldn't eat these. The Mozzarella sticks and the sauce were great, it hit the spot!

    This is one of those places that thinks a hot dog without fries is worth $4. It's the same price as a ball game. Their tzatziki sauce is not very good. The only thing I enjoyed whatsoever was the gyro meat itself. Way too expensive for what they offer I think it's because they don't get a lot of business. Plus my tomatoes looks kind of old

    Ok food, nothing to write home about. I got an Italian beef, drink & fries and it was around $12 which I think is overpriced based on the amount/quality of the food. I can't see myself returning, but the employees were friendly.

    Come to this place every time I visit Joliet. Love the food. Restaurant is always clean. Staff is friendly and attentive to my needs on how my food is prepared. On a special diet. So glad I can still eat here after changing my eating habits. Kudos on the slot and beer addition. Can't wait to come back. You can park a semi (tractor and trailer)on the Street in front of the restaurant.

    Googled places to eat near me, and have never tried this place. I saw it had good reviews. I was pleasantly surprised. Bubbly helpful girl in the drive-thru. Gyro sandwich was hot and delicious. Also got the two hot dog combo. I get my dogs plain. Hot dogs and fries were plenty hot and satisfying. Will probably have to skip breakfast tomorrow. If I go back I'm going to try a meatball weezee. Or a chicken weezee. I also never give reviews.

  • 5/5 Danielle Z. 1 year ago on Google
    Definitely 5 stars. Staff is very nice and helpful. Food was top notch. Even my very picky 9 year old enjoyed his cheeseburger. Portion sizes are perfect. Burgers were very good. Can tell it was fresh and real. Will definitely be our stop every time we come this way.

    Pretty good. Asked for a char dog and they didnt really grill it that much. Food is not bad tho!

    Krista P was great! She gave me the lowdown on the chicken not being from a spit...but it was all tasty! I can see that she's not gonna be working there for long...she's gonna be something soon

    I came by for an Italian beef sandwich at 3 in the afternoon, they were out!? I settled for a meatball sandwich, honestly the worst meatballs I have ever eaten!! I threw it away after half of one!! You guys truly fell apart over the years, I don't write negative reviews EVER but this was truly awful

  • 4/5 Nicholas T. 1 year ago on Google
    Hit up this highway stop on the ride from 3 Floyd's to St Louis. Food was actually pretty good. Needed some unhealthy offerings after our tour at Floyd's. Wet Italian beef, couple of Chicago dogs, chocolate shake and a fried Oreo. Not going to say eating here will extend your lifespan but everything hit the spot. Service was fast and friendly as well.

  • 1/5 Sherman B. 2 years ago on Google
    Highly Ticked Off! I place an order online at 8:07 pm, it stated to be there by 8:37 pm to pick it up. I got there at 8:30 pm to find the doors locked. I called and the guy I spoke to stated their online ordering service doesn't work. Number one, why were the doors locked at 8:30 pm if your open until 9:00 pm?? Number two, shouldn't you fix your online ordering issue or at least give your customers a heads up on the actually web site itself?? My wasted time was pointless coming here.

    This little gem is tucked away off of Houbolt road. You almost can't see it from the street. The food is good. We've tried the gyros, and the chicken Philly. The first was better than the latter. Prices are reasonable. I'd go back.

  • 5/5 M M. 2 years ago on Google
    Yessss, great sandwiches.. relaxed with a couple beers and fed the slof machines. Very nice setting. Walking distance to a couple nice hotels. Will definitely go back!

    Went to drive through, just passing by this town. They have massive sandwiches. I recommend any of the WeeZees. They toast their buns and put a layer of cheese so it doesn’t get so soggy with the marinara sauce. Great customer service. Highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Santino C. 7 months ago on Google • 2 reviews
    Came into this place expecting a normal sandwich, but I got one of their”Weezees”, cheese curds, and Bosco sticks along with my friend. Everything tasted amazing, they have an innovative menu for all to enjoy, and the staff are excited to help you out whenever you’re unsure! Absolutely loved this place, but I’m only disappointed that they’re not closer to where I live !!
