Bar located on the south side of Joliet. Eden Bar And Grill may look kind of sketchy but it's a lot better inside than it looks outside. It was remodeled a few years ago so it's not as bad as it was. Has better quality than expected. The drinks are better than the food, but it will be okay if you like greasy things. An unassuming place in a not impressive area. It's got a few parking spaces in front. The place doesn't get too crowded, which is good, because it's kind of cramped inside. Actually impressed how much better it looks inside. Maybe the crowd is tougher, but they're usually not violent. It has great happy hours like $2 wells and lots of other cheap cocktails. They have some fancier ones including even martinis. It's about $5 to get appetizers such as fries. The menu is pretty meaty with burgers and wings. Has the basic fried foods. There's mozzarella sticks and that kind of stuff. Amazingly they have tacos with jerk chicken, shrimp, or steak as meat options. There's not much for vegetarians, which is the only bad thing. A few salads are the healthiest choices. They won't sell many of these to be honest. For sure it was better than expected. It's located on Gardner Street just off Chicago Avenue in an area full of garages and industry. They're open late including weekdays and open later on weekends. read more

I need to update my review of the Eden Bar and Grill because Michelle is no longer the barkeeper. I didn't see her leaving, however I understand she was off like honeymoon pajamas. No concern, Amelia is as talented, perhaps more so. She embraces a party theme. The food menu is improved too. It now has a district Cajun theme. (See food menu photo.) As usual, this establishment welcomes everybody who comes in peace. It is just the perfect slightly dimly lit, clean local neighborhood bar and grill. Perhaps get off of your davenport and come in right now for the ongoing Kentucky Derby party. Big hat optional for men. Tell her I sent you. read more

There's one, of many, great bartenders at the Eden Bar and Grill this afternoon. Amelia may impose on you to try her latest shot she found online. I recommend you head her way now to try her 'Bend me over shot' in a frosted shooter. She's also serving homemade Italian gravy with pasta and meatballs. (I should've taken a photo of that too.) She's so nice and just the right amount of attentive, go there now. You won't be sorry you did so. read more

Dope ass vibe, loved performing here! Staff was really nice and the place was well put together, would definitely come back :)

I hate giving bad reviews but I have to stay honest :( Before I write this review, I want to honestly say that I hope this was just bad timing and the place is a whole lot better in the evening My coworkers and I came here during lunch. It was 6 of us and the whole place was empty! We were just standing around for a few minutes while the waitress was speaking to anothet employee. Then she came over and got us seated. We ordered our food and it took almost an hour for it to come. My burger was the most greasiest one I've ever had in my life. There was a small puddle in the bottom of my plate. My friend got nachos which I get is not the best choice to make but he was super disappointed with the dish. Overall it was not a great experience and it took us almost an hour and a half to finish our food. I will not be going here for lunch again even though we don't have a while lot of options near our Joliet FC read more

Eden Bar And Grill - Burger was greasy. The bottom of my bun was soggy and was dripping through :( - Bars Near Me - Joliet, Illinois

It's a nice place, recently remodeled, And nice restrooms, rare in local bars in the area. They book local live bands here most weekends, nice if you like live music because of a stage, lighting and sound system, Beats places that push a pool table aside and set up a band in a corner of the bar. This location is close to Chicago land speedway and rt 66 drag strip. Also close to the rt 53 exit on I-80 Also serve hood food as well when the kitchen is open. read more

Horrible place to be. There are so many bars in Joliet that are much nicer and more enjoyable. 10/10 do not recommend.

Use to go to this place with my friends all the time. Everyone waa so nice and friendly and itbwas a good time. Until recently where I was treated very disrespectful by a manager by the name of Toni. She was very rude and nasty towards me and definitely doesn't know how to talk or treat customers. All the other workers are cool and friendly. This lady is the opposite. I definitely no longer will be going to Edens. Nor will any of my friends after I tell them how I was mistreated. The owner is cool and friendly too. Such a shame her sister Toni is the opposite. Very disappointed with how unprofessional the manager was towards me and my friend. Eden if you see this. Please talk to Toni and let her know she is making you lose good customers due to her unprofessional, rude, disrespectful ways. Such a shame because I truly liked going here. read more

I would typically give this place 4 stars, but my experience this week is definitely only worth one, so I will give it an average 2 star rating. Although the crowd here can occasionally be on the rougher side, this place is a nice size, and often has good bands, DJ's and other entertainment. This week, we were planning on about 15-20 of us going in for a work Christmas party for a bunch of us coworkers and friends. We had heard there may be a certain DJ the evening we were planning on going....DJ Wayne Michael J from Joliet. Several of us are familiar with him from a wedding party and other events, and did NOT want to plan our event here if he was going to be the entertainment. Half of the music he plays is bad, he refuses to play what you request unless it's something HE wants to play, and is just a plain rude and low-quality DJ in our opinion. We called Eden to confirm if he was playing that night so we knew whether to plan our event there or elsewhere. We asked to speak to a manager or owner and the female who answered the phone said it was her. We inquired on who the DJ or entertainment would be that night, and she confirmed it was him, and asked why we were asking. I explained our concerns, and then the phone call became somewhat unprofessional. She accused of us wanting her to fire him before he even DJ'd there. We were not requesting anything of the sort. We just wanted to confirm whether he was scheduled there or not that night because he would have made the night un-enjoyable for many of us, and we wanted the chance to schedule our outing elsewhere if he was. We never asked for him to be fired or anything of the sort. Then the female said that our phone call was strange, and sounded personal and not of a business nature. We don't see anything strange about checking what entertainment is scheduled for the night of our work outing, and then explaining to her our concern when she asked about it. We simply did not want to plan our party there if it was going to be uncomfortable or not enjoyable because of the bad prior experiences many of us had with who she had scheduled. And yes, its somewhat personal, as well as business related,, because we've had personal bad experiences with that DJ, so I'm not quite sure why she became unfriendly and unprofessional at that point. Perhaps Eden doesn't care if they lose the business of our 15-20 person party that night, but this will certainly make us think before coming there regularly again like some of us do, or before recommending their place to other friends or coworkers...so they will have lost more business than just our party for this one night. read more
