So I was on my way back on a road trip when we found this hidden gem.first off the owner was cool as well as the staff they seemed to be having a good day. So anyway the food was cooked perfect and the portions were bangin. The place was clean and had a wide selection of menu items. They have a great selection of desserts. If they had this in Wisconsin I would eat there 3 days a week. If you want a good meal and even more killer lemonade. This is your place get down there and see my guys. read more

Order a spicy chicken sandwich and I didn't finish it. I'm not sure what I expected, but a chicken patty with a drizzle of buffalo sauce wasn't it. It was good, just not what I thought it was gonna be. And my bun got soggy halfway through. That sucked. I'll probably order a burger next time. We had some chicken tenders too! They were really crispy and delicious! Def have to add the lemon pepper on those tendies next time around! The fries were great. Even better with that freakin' lemon pepper seasoning. Good choice for late night munchies! read more

very clean place, food is great! highly recommend.and definitely would come back again

Their gyro plate is packed full of meat, onions, lettuce and two servings of pita bread. Why? Because you can make two to three gyros out of one order!!! Now how's that for bang for your buck?!? Have you had a gyro cheeseburger? Well, if you haven't you are definitely in for a treat! It's literally a cheeseburger with all the fixings plus gyro meat. Mmm mmm so good!!! The establishment is clean and the employees are some of the nicest people. read more

I only go here for the crispy Philly steak & it always hits. The fries are sometimes nasty but the Philly is good read more

I got food poisoning from their chicken, I think they should start by making sure their food won't make people sick!!!!!

This place is nasty everything nasty the cheese fires the steak fries the sandwiches and burger everything is nasty I tried it all they icees be water down I rather go to baba on 4856 183rd St Country Club Hills, IL 60478 United States that's the best location read more

Baba's is my favourite place for a quick late night snack! They always have the best popcorn chicken and philly steaks. Great service too!

Food service was poor we waited for 20 mins for some cold food and they didn't give extra lemon pepper on the jack salmon dinner and fries like asked and the jack salmon wasn't good it tasted more like breading read more

Great cheesesteak & awesome lemonade! Very pleasant phone call for pickup! Was just passing through would definitely recommend for quick great food! read more

I've eaten here maybe twice, and although it has been about a year, I would say stay away from this place it's pretty scary. Oh yea, about the mean lady who works at the counter taking orders, you need to call Oprah so you can be a guest on Iyanlya Fix My Life! Issues! Girlfriend, Prayers changes things.... read more

good food. love the lemon pepper on the wings. nice staff. and I love the drink combos.

Second time going to this location, I've had nothing but problems this time. The first time it took 40 minutes to get my food ( 2 philly steaks) which is understandable because rona but it was ridiculous. Then I come back today and they rang my 15pc nugget order up for a 6piece which my 6 year old brother was very sad about. Then they missed my other brothers entire order of 2 pizza puffs and just gave him fries. The onion rings we ordered were extremely burnt. So we called and the lady on the line disrespected my brother for "yelling" when he was asking us where the receipt was. I have not had any worse customer service from anywhere ever. My family and I will not come back here. I wouldn't recommend this place to my enemies read more

Their food is good, but every time I order hot peppers, they give me BELL PEPPERS. Every other Baba's I've been to gives me the correct hot peppers. Only bad experience with I've had with Baba's though. They follow special orders, and food tastes good. Just man.. the bell peppers. read more

I brought chicken last weekend the chicken wasn't done all the way in the middle, I had to take my kids food off there plate take it back to them they dropped the chicken back in the grease and the fries that was left in there. I didn't see till I got home that this was the same chicken and they didn't replace all the fries and to know they didn't give me fresh fries and only half of the order of fries so I called and complained about it the employee apologized and took my name stating they will replace my entire meal when I came back so tonight I called to get my food from the other day and she asked if I had a receipt I told her no I don't they never said I needed the receipt just my name and give them her name which was "Country" that's the name of the employee from Saturday that I spoke with now today they won't replace my food without a receipt which isn't what I was told. I'm very upset about it because I spent $24.39 on some chicken that wasn't all the way done. Every time me or my husband get chicken it's the same thing "I shouldn't have to tell them to fry my chicken hard in order for it to be done all the way" if they don't know how to cook chicken thoroughly it should be on the menu at all they gonna mess around and give someone food poisoning like that. Therefore I won't spend another penny with them food cost to much and gas for me to have to keep running back and forth taking my food back in order for it to be cooked all the way. read more

Honestly so good. A really great variety of foods and the lemonade is the best I've had. I could eat at Baba's every day honestly. The line goes pretty quick, too read more

For my first. Experience I see your finger licking good lol It was hot fresh and a lemon pepper seasoning that they put on top reminds me of home where we had Captain Jay's Michigan and it's better I will be a repeat customer read more

Beware!!!! Today I visited Babas typically they are ok today they were awful! They gave me two different kinds of old dried up cold fries crinkle and steak my sandwich was mainly lettuce and tomatoes with hardly no meat and when I bought it to their attention the two girls wanted to argue about it - horrible!!!!! Check your food we're paying too much for them to give you garbage and the service sucks!!! read more

Came to Baba's on Easter being that half the restaurants were closed and craving a burger. I've had the lemonade here which tastes great but have never had the food. Went thru the drive-thru and it was hard to know when to order because I could hardly hear the person on the other side because the intercom's volume was low. They even got my simple order wrong because I had a hard time understanding them. It took a long time to get my food as I waited for my order in park for about 7-10 minutes and the woman working did not seem happy to be there. I had the double cheeseburger and a small order of cheese fries. The prices are great, pretty inexpensive. The food tastes decent nothing great. I think a little maintenance and repair on this place with go far. read more

Baba's Famous Steak & Lemonade - Double cheese burger, fries and cheese fries - Fast Food Near Me - Joliet, Illinois

When Baba's does it right it is awesome! But it rarely gets it right when you order from the drive thru. If you bring it back in because your order is wrong, they deny what you ordered. My husband and I like the steak and cheese sub with extra cheese with a little bit of mayo, it is yummy, if they make it right for you. My daughter gets the chicken sandwich, but she doesn't get what she wants. I will try ordering inside, maybe I will have better luck. read more

This was a first for me, I go by this place everyday, and they always have signs out front, hamburger and fries, $1.00, hot dog and fries, $1.00, Chicken strips and fries, $1.00, well last night they had a sign 10 pieces of chicken and fries, no not a dollar, but $5.00. First let my say I never knew chickens could come in small sizes, I can see how they caught him, he was too little to run away, The meat was OK but I thought it had a little bit of a fish taste, but sometimes you get that in the places that sell a lot of fish products, the fries were good The lady at the drive thru was very pleasant, it takes awhile to get your food, but they have a sign that says sorry for the delay but we cook all our food fresh, which is nice, knowing it did not sit under a heat lamp for hours. Not a place to take your lady on a first date, if your trying to make a lasting first impression anyway. read more

We moved from the South Suburbs to West Tennessee... I'm a vegetarian , but when I'd cheat.. you guys were where I went... I REALLY REALLY miss your amazing food, lemonades and staff! You should move to Dyersburg! There was almost no shut down here ! read more

Baba's used to be great. Management must have changed recently because the staff is all new and not very knowledgeable. We started out trying the drive-thru...no one answered so we went inside. It still took about 15 minutes to get a sandwich and two hot dogs. Perhaps there was a language barrier but it was difficult to order a 2 hot dog combo, even though it is a menu item with a combo number. We got the food home to find out the hot dogs were cold, buns were stale and they didn't include the pop. We'll never go back and certainly don't recommend Baba's to anyone we like. Just not what it used to be. read more

Decided to go in after hearing good things from my co workers. The inside and outside didn't look too inviting. From the big signs that covered most of the windows to the loud rap music the kitchen staff was trying to get the cashier to play, this place felt like a fish/rib joint that I would find in the southside/westside part of the city. I ended up with a gyro and fries ($5.59) and a lemonade ($2.10 20 oz.) to go. While they weren't skimpy with the gyro meat and fries, it wasn't anything to rave about. The meat was dry but, that could of been a result of sitting in the car for a 1/2 hour. The lemonade was great and was actually freshly squeezed. There's a guy in the back whose only job is to prepare the lemonade drinks. All in all, if you're uncomfortable with getting your food in a ghetto atmosphere, then skip this place. read more

A dirty kitchen and cross contamination of food allergens almost put my husband in the ER. The man left in charge barely spoke english. He gave me the managers phone number. He was uncaring at best. Never go there. read more

This spot is really good! I was referred to this place by many Chicago natives & I am satisfied with the food without a doubt since I'm from California. My only issue with this establishment is that NONE of the workers are wearing MASKS. We asked why they weren't wearing masks, "We ran out of masks." Was the answer I received. We're in a pandemic... masks are mandatory especially at restaurants. I feel worried about coming back to this restaurant. read more

Ordering food here is like pulling teeth, painful and takes awhile before everything's ready... having said that, the finished product is always good. I'll continue to order here when I have plenty of time and patience on my hands.... read more

Well, I'll tell you one thing. This place has good, quality, not-so-fast food. 1st off you are gonna wait for any food you order(cause they start cooking it when you order). But I was truly amazed at the Philly cheese steak they sell.(Their most popular sandwich and A MUST TRY). Totally fresh all the way around. 2nd thing is their FROZEN LEMONADE IS A MUST TRY! You'll be impressed on the 20 some-odd favors you can get your choice of. And lastly, I ordered some chicken wings on my second trip there just to see how they were. And I'm a chicken wing fanatic. They were very hot, fresh and just what you want when you have a taste for them.(I had them put lemon pepper seasoning on them and gave it that "special something") The staff is exceptional, nice.. A must try if your in the Joliet area... You cant miss it with all the neon in the windows. read more

Food was ok and it was quick, but no one was wearing a mask or gloves. Considering everything going on I won't go back.

Order through Uber eats and got under cooked chicken wings, so undercooked could not even break the wings apart! I will never EVER order from this place again. read more

Sad. I asked for fresh chicken and got refried old chicken. Unsatisfactory. So I tell the young lady the chicken is old and not fresh she says it's fresh. Smh read more

I am so disappointed with my last two meals from Baba's. I am not sure if the quality of meat has declined due to a switch in supplier or an intentional cost-cutting strategy but the owner should reverse course immediately! There is too much competition in the area for a quick lunch-fix for this establishment to take customers for granted with poor quality! I have previously ordered trays of good food to cater work events and funeral repass meals. I will remove this location from my list of meal options until a change has come! read more

Delicious!! I love their chicken tenders and French fries The BBQ Sauce is to die for. Called in one time to make sure they'd put cheese on the side for my French fries and they happily assisted me. Definitely will be ordering again. read more

What a disappointment. The burger isn't any better than a dollar store meat patty that's on sale. The spicy chicken sandwich is just a chicken sandwich with a ton of hot sauce slathered all over it. The shake is called Oreo but it's again a dollar store replacement. I would have given it a fractal score but one is as low as we can go. read more

Idiots work here. I called Wednesday afternoon for a pickup at 8pm Thursday night. I then called Thursday afternoon to confirm pickup at 8pm. Guess what. I show up at 8pm and food was not cooked. Had to wait another 30min. There's absolutely no coordination or customer service there. read more

Great lemonades. Recommend the cherry flavor. Cheese fries were very good as well. Fast and friendly service.

I just tried this place for the very first time and they failed!!!!! I was greeted by a lady that spoke English so terribly I couldn't understand her and she could barely communicate with me, I ordered a ribeye steak sandwich plain on garlic bread an order of cheese fries and a coke, I wish I would've checked the bag, I got back to work the sandwich had lettuce, tomato, cheese and so much pepper on it couldn't even taste the steak. A large side order of fries, no cheese. Was an absolute waste of time and money, NEVER AGAIN!!!!! FIRST AND LAST VISIT FROM ME read more
