Charged 5 dollars for me to make my own Bloody Mary. Then when it finally came was cold with no pita bread with spinach artichoke dip and no cocktail sauce with calamari. Waitress was really rude and it wasn't even that busy. Was walking away while we tried to order food. read more

Nothing special, but it gets the job done; generally a mix of recently graduated Stagg and Sandburg students with a healthy smattering of older locals with no clear memory of attending high school in the last several decades. Serviceable nachos and a nice reindeer head thingie on the wall behind the bar. read more

It's a good neighborhood spot. Has solid pub fare and the beer is cold.

Nice neighborhood bar with plenty of TV's. There's plenty of room to belly up to this bar and also decent seating in bar area. There's a side room with plenty of seating. The food is better than just your average bar food. They have a very good thin crust pizza and the wings are fab. Daily food specials too. Drinks are inexpensive. Very good service. I haven't had a bad bartender yet! read more

This place was very good!! The chili cheese fries were awesome!! I got a buffalo chicken sandwich which was good but do not share with the kids because it's hot!! However they have waffle fries which are so good and stuffed with potato! The service was excellent and the wait staff was very prompt and brought everything asked! Will definitely be going back soon read more

Joe Daniel's - Buffalo chicken sandwich! Hot!! So don't share with the kids, they also have awesome waffle fries! - Pubs Near Me - Palos Heights, Illinois

Just stopped for a late lunch here after volleyball at Palos Courts. We were very pleased with the friendly and casual sports bar/pub environment. The 4 of us all enjoyed our delicious salads and sandwiches! Our waitress was outstanding, keeping our drinks full and bringing our food quickly! We would definitely come here again, even our 14 yr old daughter. read more

went here on a saturday night. walked in and walked out. nobody working here had a mask on, and bar area was packed.

Had a really great time here this weekend! The crowd was very diverse as was the music. It closed a little on the early side for a Saturday (lights when on at 1) but other than that, we had a blast. Would definitely return. read more

I really enjoy the thin crust pizza - one of the best is the SW burbs. While all the traditional toppings are great - try the Mexican pizza. It is unique and quite yummy!!! read more

Always had a fun time here. Cold beer, mellow clientele, never an issue. Had the burger thought it was good. The wings, though, quite poor. Frozen and reheated. Considering all the wing choices, thought they would step it up a notch. No dice. read more

I went here for a birthday party. I had some veggie pizza which was ok, although it had hardly any sauce and mostly cheese. The crust was also very crunchy. I also had some pepperoni pizza which was very similar to the veggie- hardly any sauce and lots of cheese with crunchy crust. I dabbed some of the greece off with a napkin and the napkin was covered with it. The host asked everyone if they wanted to bring home any pizza and everybody stayed silent. The next day I felt nauseous and sick. Although the food was unsatisfactory, the staff were polite. They turned on some music for us and were just nice overall. I would not recommend the food at all. But if you are looking for the experience go ahead. If you want good pizza instead go to Joe's Italian Villa across the street. read more

I agree with other posters that it's dark in there! I think that it adds to the ambiance. Plenty of TVs, good beer selection and good food. I've been here several times and the food is consistently good. I really like the brushetta pizza - I've had it several times and never noticed "crappy processed parm. cheese" on it as another posted. Yes it does have blue cheese on it -that is what makes it unique and good. The chicken Cesar wrap is also good: homemade dressing, crisp lettuce and chicken has a slight grilled flavor. My husband enjoys the mini burgers which are always cooked perfectly. Overall a good place to grab a beer some bar food and watch a game. read more

Well, I've eaten here several times but lately the food is dynamite. I hosted a business luncheon here and let me tell you, the calimari for a bar was better than most restaurants. They must have changed their crab cakes because these were the real deal and the pizza hello! I couldn't get enough. This is a bar with a great pizza, unreal. My only complaint Mr. Daniels, why don't you deliver? A pizza this good should not be hidden. That's atrocious. read more

Cool bar, good music. Doesn't always have the most laid back environment, but it's never an offensive one either. Steak salad (something like that) is awesome. read more

Been here several times over about 8 years and the food is always terrible. Even the fries are tasteless. The atmosphere is good if you don't want the 20-something bar scene though eat before you go. Basic beer offering so look elsewhere if you like craft beer. Definitely won't be eating here again as it never gets better even though I kept trying. read more

Ok so to start..... I'm pretty sure I got hepatitis B off the toilet seat in the women's restroom. I also had fuego burgers thrown at me all night by some dude named Elmo I'm pretty sure he's an elk but some how managed to throw onions jalapeños and a patty at my head. Great service though Cody and benji are the best and the fajitas are fire. read more

Went in there today for lunch with a few co-workers, during what was obviously our lunch hour, and sat and waited for service. Nobody even came to give us a menu or say we will be right with you. Literally there was one other table of two in there so it wasn't like they were to busy. So we waited and waited and finally just got up and left. Went next door to Bon a Pit who has the really great, fast service. I'm glad we didn't bother the server because she obviously seemed too busy, oh wait we didn't get a chance to meet her! read more

Our great neighborhood bar and grille. Joe Daniels has some great thin crust pizza... one of my favorites! They have other wonderful food choices as well. It is a little dark and sometimes loud but it is a bar! read more

Yet another poor performance for JD's. Ordered take out 25 wing special for myself and some friends. Ask for plain and all sauces on the side. We get back home to eat and watch ND play Michigan and there is but one small cup of sauce. It is the little things that they can never seem to get right and why I will not be back! read more

I think they have some of the best bar food around. The burgers and wings are great. Prices are reasonable, and the beer is cold. Clean place with a decent crowd. The only down side is the service could be a little better. Some (not all) of the waitresses and bartenders walk around with the biggest frowns and are not friendly. And they are sometimes really slow about checking on tables and seem to be in a hurry to run behind the bar to text on their phones. It's a flip of a coin as to if I will get a good waitress or not when I go into Joe Daniels. Overall though, it's a great place to hang out and have a drink with great food. read more

We used to come here quite a bit, never had a bad experience, things have changed. This place has gone downhill. Where do I start. The women's bathroom is god awful disgusting, I base a lot on a restaurant by their bathroom. 3 stalls & 2 of them were clogged and not useable. Stains on the ceiling not sure if it was mold or what it was but it was nasty. The server was nice but then I watched him chew on his finger nails and proceed to stick his hand in the condiments to put in people's drinks. I wanted to puke, he never washed his hands. My boyfriend ordered the burger medium, we were told it would be "pretty rare" it was well done. We both ordered regular fries, he "forgot" to put our order in that way so we had to wait for our fries which I'm not sure were fully cooked. Needless to say nothing about this experience was good & we will not be back. Completely disappointed. read more

Bar food and nothing else. Don't expect anything else then bar food and sometimes not well prepared. But, if you are drinking then you don't care.You just need something to soak up the booze. If you are going just for the food, then don't waste your time. The last time I was there , about two weeks ago with family, the kitchen was very confused. The food went back because it was missing parts of the order. i had a hamburger and it was just OK. If you can't make a good hamburger for a sober person, you can't make a good hamburger, period. read more

Been curious about the place for a while. Stopped in late after picking up son from Midway. Nothing is open late so we decided to stop in for a drink and food. It was late so the only choice was pizza. The pizza was great. Very thin crust which we love. I would like to go back and try the food. I would definitely go back for the pizza. read more

I have not been here in years and I probably will never go back. I met a friend for lunch and we sat at the bar. The place is huge and spacious with a lot of TVs and seating. The bar is big however there is terrible smell coming from behind it, like it needs a good cleaning or at least the drains do. The bathrooms are beautiful, newly renovated? The draft beer selection is limited so I asked the bartender about the bottled options. I was told "We have a a lot, they are in that fridge down there, you can look". She gestured to a half fridge on the floor that had about 3 ladies in front of it eating, since I wasn't about to interrupt their lunch to look at the beers I went with a Jake and Coke. The bartender was attentive though and checked on us frequently . The menu was extensive with typical bar fare, pizza and Mexican food. We split the spinach artichoke dip and each ordered the Italian beef melt. The dip was disgusting. It was almost sour tasting and it was served with tortilla chips and hunks of Italian bread. Now this was probably my mistake for ordering but I gave it a shot. It was obvious it was some cheap, store bought dip. The beef sandwiches were ok. Nothing special. But the gairdiniera was dry, like no oil in it. The bill was cheap. It's an okay place if you were going for a couple of beers, sitting down wind from the bar and avoiding the food. read more

This place is awful, I've tried quite a bit on the menu and never had a good meal. Only reason Ive given it so many chances is I'm only a few blocks away. drinks are overpriced, bathrooms are disgusting and service is subpar at best. read more

Should have had the pizza. Terrible service and subpar food. Ordered a burger requesting it to be cut in half. It was partially cut in half, no problem except no silverware was provided. We were sitting at the bar and I still waited five minutes for the bartender to cut my stupid burger so that I could eat it. The burger was just tasteless and unappetizing. I also had the baked French onion soup which was ok. My husband had a chicken sandwich that he reports was "just ok". He did not finish his sand which. The fries where crispy and good. We were here last Saturday around 7pm and only the bar side was open for seating. I commented to my husband how lousy the place was and that's when he informed me of the change in ownership. Unfortunately we won't be going back. read more

Stopped here with a group after a prior engagement that we attended. The main bar area was too full to accommodate our group, so we had to sit in the side room. That room has a bad ambience with bright lighting and very barren. Shared a number of appetizers, which were just so-so. Service was extremely slow, we had to repeatedly ask for the same things over & over before eventually getting them. On the up-side, the prices are very reasonable...but even with 7 hungry people we didn't finish our appetizers, they just weren't that good. read more

Went on a Friday morning to try this place out... it was awful. The bartender with what looked like an anchor tattoo didn't pay any attention to us and was extremely rude. She made it clear she favored the male customers at the bar by us.. and still was attentive enough to them either! The bar itself was cute and cozy - so it gets a second star. My friends told me it was really fun but I did not have fun and felt extremely uncomfortable. Always on her phone, the bar was a complete mess, and we received just plain awful customer service. Hopefully, if my friends convince me to try again we get the bartenders she raved about to get me in there in the first place! read more

This is truly a great neighborhood bar/restaurant. It seems like its more of a bar than anything at first, but the food is terrific. My favorite are the wings. They cook them perfectly, so the skin is crispy, and the sauce is excellent as well. Their menu is pretty big covering everything from sandwiches and burgers to pizza and even a Mexican section on the menu. I had the fajitas once, liked it a lot. Also had their pizza and it too was very good. It's a great place to watch a game, so many tv's. I'm also happy about the beer selection including many craft beers on tap and in bottles. read more

Definatly need a little updating on both food and bar. Food has became mediocre over the years, need to shake it up a little. Maybe put some couches in the front dinning area and some new tvs and rent it out to groups. read more

This place is great for lunch with friends or dinner with the family. There is a new menu with a list of salads, I tried an Asian chicken salad that was wonderful. The staff is very friendly and the interior is clean and cozy. One of my favorite places just got better! read more

We used to order from here all the time, but tonight was the worst ever. The pizza was so bad the kids wouldn't eat it. It reeked of Parmesan cheese and the sausage was sparse. What happened Joe Daniels, you used to be the best thin crust pizza in Palos. The other food we ordered was just okay not what it used to be. read more

The best taco pizza around. Their service can be iffy, so make sure they write your order down. Great, fresh Sam Adams, too. All in all, great bar food and a great watering hole to catch up with friends and watch a sports game. read more

This place used to be great but seems to have gone down hill some in the past couple of years. The food and drinks are always good, but the service is well below par. Great place to go grab a drink or bite to eat from the bar, but there's better options beyond that. read more

A nice place to stop in and have a few beers, the bar food is good and plenty of TVs to track different games going on at the same time. I like this place, I will go back there again. read more

One of my favorite happy hour spots. Lots of good food options here. Their thin crust pizza is really tasty, something about it tastes a little different (in a good way) compared to all the other pizza places on the southside. Get a group together on Monday nights for 1/2 price pizza (dine-in only). The sausage has a little kick to it. The bruschetta pizza is a nice option if you are looking for something a little lighter. We mainly go here for the burgers, though. The JD burger is one of the best burgers in the area, and it is huge. Good waffle fries, too. They also have a solid chicken sandwich served on garlic bread. The menu has a good range of items beyond your typical greasy, reheated bar food (soups, salads, sandwiches, etc). This spot caters to a wide range of age groups and is the type of place where both guys and girls would feel comfortable. Service in my experience has always been friendly and accomodating. read more

One word. HORRIBLE! I'll share my experience from the time I walked in the door for a party and as the evening went on. Getting there a little early for the party my wife and I decided to grab a drink at the bar. Two of the four open bar stools were wobbly. That same issue carried over to the chairs at the tables we were sat at. Then there was the wobbly hightop we later relocated to. Went to the bathroom and the door is covered in dirt and grease. It's pretty bad when the soap dispenser that should be clean looks like it came from a mechanics shop it was so dirty. As the place filled the temperature rose to the point of sweating and it was like pulling teeth to get them to cool the place down. The "smoking lounge" just outside the front door is a nice touch too. It's great to be eating food and having smokers walk in and out constantly bringing smoke in your face. I know bars have sports and music to play but when you have to yell at the person next to you to have a conversation I'd say thats a bit loud. I appreciated the leaking bucket my beer was in. The replacement one leaked too. Finally just got a towel from one of the servers. Let's talk servers. Or lack thereof. I saw six people running the floor. Three of which looked like they were in high school and could care less in what they were doing. I had to ask that the hightop be cleaned. That was after it took the kid three trips to clear off a few glasss and a beer bottle. We had to ask someone for menus, to take our order, to refill our drinks, get a box for our leftover food, and then get our check. This was all accomplished by three of those six servers. No one was assigned to tables. Two of the kids seemed to walk around aimlessly. There was clearly no manager running the place. It may have been the owner at the end of the bar but he was busy hanging out drinking with a few regulars. And whatever you do don't book a party event and if you decide to I'd get all the details first. Trust me on this one because our party hosts were shocked with some additional charges they never knew were coming after that three hour window. After two and half hours we left our party and went across the street to a newly opened place that was clean, comfortable, and had great service. I'd check that place out before Joe Daniels. Bar Rescue should pay this place a visit. read more
