New locally owned cheesesteak space doing many things right…read more I had my order to go. I picked it up and was eating it within 10 minutes so I feel that I can give this a decent review. Staff was friendly and efficient. From order to ready was under 5 minutes. They did a good job of packing things up making it easy to transport and preserve the quality of food. Highlight is the bread which they told me that they make in house. Good bun to meat ratio. Reasonable amount of dripping which I think is a good sign of a cheesesteak. This wasn't overly cheesy. If you like a high cheese to meat ratio, this may be a slight drawback (it wasn't for me) I went with 4 stars for 2 minor issues: Meat was salty: I don't mind a bit of salt but this was a bit much for me. I still enjoyed it, but would rather taste beef over salt Frozen lemonade wasn't as frozen as it could have been: this is pretty minor. Flavor was still good and I achieved a brain freeze. Would definitely eat at again.

I'll start with the biggest issue. The GPS location needs to be updated. I missed the place twice…read morebecause it's tucked in a corner on a one-way street. I had to circle around just to find it. There is free parking in front, and I believe there's parking on the side of the building too, but it wasn't obvious how to access it. I ended up parking in front and walking in. It was very quiet for a Friday night. There's a casino nearby, so I expected more traffic. When we arrived, there were two people already eating, and one more couple came in after us. The food came out fast and everything was fresh. We spent a little over $50 and ordered two slushy lemonades(strawberry and pineapple , a catfish dinner with fries and garlic bread, steak Philly egg rolls (3), and a six-piece boneless buffalo chicken. The bathroom was clean, but there is only one shared restroom. They were accommodating with substitutions on the egg rolls, which I appreciated. If you substitute, I recommend asking for it light. They added a lot of jalapeños, which was too much for my wife. The boneless wings were good overall, though one piece tasted like a gizzard. The buffalo sauce and ranch were both solid. The fries were good, but be aware they charge $1 for seasoning. We chose garlic seasoning, and it was literally just a few sprinkles. It tasted fine, but the upcharge didn't feel worth it. The catfish was lightly fried. I personally prefer it more crispy, so I'd suggest asking them to cook it longer if that's your preference. The garlic bread was soaked in olive oil. You could actually squeeze it and see oil come out. I asked for a remake. At first, the young lady said that's how it's made, but another gentleman, possibly the owner, stepped in and offered to remake it. I appreciated that. The bread itself was soft and good, but the garlic powder flavor was still pretty strong. The lemonade tasted more like the green bottled lemon juice than fresh lemonade. It wasn't terrible, just not what I expected. There was and chemical aftertaste. Overall, the food was fresh and service was fairly quick. They were willing to fix issues, which I respect. But flavor-wise, it was just okay. I've definitely had better, and it's not a spot I'd personally return to. TikTok reviews had me expecting more, so I was surprised. They are new to Joliet, so it may be worth trying for yourself. This is just my opinion.

The local community should patronize this small business for their great food and that little bit southern hospitality!

I learned they don't really do that. I give a one star ding because it was dinner time and they were out of hot chicken. I was going to try that and a burger since it was my first time in - I tripled up the smash burger instead. It hit. Big smashed patties overflowing the bun. Excellent griddle-crust and still juicy. Great size burger - I barely finished it with a side of cheese fries. Their slaw sauce was good, and the pickles were good. Seasonings good, not overdone. Lets talk about the cheese sauce because this did happen to stand out. This didnt look or taste like that Cisco canned sauce you find virtually everywhere else on the side in a plastic. These tasted less artifical and the fries held up to having a pour over. Packaging to go shows they care about their food getting home fresh. Really nice boxes - no chintzy paper wrappers and a sack.
