- LLeePhoenix / Arizona •16 reviews5.0Dined todayHave ALWAYS enjoyed eating at the Reserve in the Harrah's Joliet location. Over the many years , I've become good friends with several of the chefs and servers, and have never been disappointed with either food or service.

- LLaVerneVIPChicago / Illinois •2 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoCut 158 Chophouse is my favorite restaurant for special occasions. I had been talking to my husband about the restaurant after going there for the first time last December. Earlier this year, I made a reservation for our Valentine's Day dinner. We arrived at scheduled time and was immediately seated at a table on the second level of restaurant. My husband was very impressed over the great menu selections. The food, the service, and the overall ambience of the restaurant contributed to a perfect evening!More infoCut 158 ChophousePrice: Expensive• Steakhouse• Joliet•4.7

- MMary (Lou)Chicago / Illinois •2 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoMy husband and I went here for Valentine's Day. We happen to go about a year ago to Juliet's and was amazingly surprised at the restaurant, quality of food (real Chef), wait staff. It would be something you would find at an expensive, costly Chicago restaurant by far. The price of the food and drinks are also reasonable. Parking is easy too. Being a Joliet native and familiar with these surroundings, it is quite safe to be down there, as some people are not native and hear Joliet east side and think it is unsafe. It's near the Rialto Theatre. A must in my opinion!More infoJuliet's TavernPrice: Moderate• American• Joliet•4.7

The sound level was perfect, like most we are not a fam of loud noisy places. The food we are aware of what we are getting and just want it fresh and warm, and it was.

Discover Joliet
With a rich history as a working-class town, Joliet has mastered the art of the sandwich. This quick, portable and reasonably priced meal comes in numerous forms throughout Joliet from Reubens to burgers to poor boys. Thanks to the community's Slovenian heritage, your meal may come with kidney beans or other side dishes that reflect traditional Central European cooking. Another influence on Joliet dining is the city's proximity to Chicago. In Joliet restaurants, you can order your Windy City favorites without making the drive into the big city. These include gyros, deep-dish pizzas and all-beef hot dogs on poppy seed buns. Although diner food reigns supreme in Joliet, that's not all this community has to offer. Steakhouses are the Joliet favorite for fine dining.
