    Hot dog and fries

    The food is really gross not even if you're really hungry. Tasted like dry card board. The fries were so tasteless the paper they were in probably had more flavor. Hot dogs also mid

    Italian Beef

    I was surprised when I drove up on a Friday night before the Super Bowl and two cars were in the parking lot. My order was ready and the fries were already cold before I got them in the car. My tamale and hamburgers, I microwaved. But my disappointment of all is my Italian Beef on Garlic bread, with an Extra Beef. When did they change!!??? That was the BEST part of ordering the extra meat was the overly stuffed little sandwich. I am so disappointed with the drizzle of mozzarella cheese and a half soggy piece of bread. My childhood memory is gone. No worries I won't order it again. Nope! I guess new management. There was a time when you could barely get in the parking lot. This presentation is probably why no one was inside. The good ole days!

    Maxwell Street Polish with Fry

    My partner and I came here on Wednesday May 29th for a quick bite to eat. We ordered a polish with French fries. The polish was made Chicago style with a poppy seed bun, and they were generous with the toppings. The polish sausage itself was cooked to perfection. The fries were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. We took our order to go, and they wrapped it nicely with foil. It's also our first time coming here, and we are looking forward to coming back to try other items on their menu. There's plenty of free parking on premise, but it can be a bit awkward to get into the lot when cars are parked by the entrance. Other than that, I'd recommend this place to anyone in the area looking for fast food. They also have several other locations in the Chicagoland area.

    I've visited Joeys several times this year, and the majority of the visits have been great. I love the hot dogs and fries and the gyro with fries. Joey's Serves a very large amount of food for a cheap price so their food is a great deal. The food is cooked fresh, but there is a long wait, so I recommend that you order ahead on the phone. I would have given Joeys 5 stars, but unfortunately you just messed my order up this weekend. I attempted to call Joeys on Saturday night on October 9th 2021 at 6:30 to place an order, but your phone number with disconnected! When drove to the restaurant the first thing I noticed is that your young staff were not wearing face masks! Your employees should not be working around food without a mask! It's ironic that they remembered to put ear buds in to listen to music, but couldn't remember their protective gear. Secondly, my gyro meat was sliced too thick and it was chewy! Major turn off. Thirdly, we ordered and paid for 4 extra Pita breads that we did not receive! Sadly, we could not call and complain because your phone was disconnected. Pay your phone bill Joey's!!!!! Maybe you should hire a more mature staff and train them properly. Get it together Joey's!!!!

    Joey's will give you the feels of an authentic hot dog establishment. The photos on the wall are classic old Chicago (you won't see any diversity... but that's pretty accurate considering the chains began in Bridgeport). The food was flavorful... the veggie hot dog was delicious, although I haven't tried many in my life. The famous chicken Philly was hot, fresh, and simply wonderful! Their menu provides a lot of options. The Italian ice was fabulous! My kids and I are in the car because it didn't look like much cleaning occurs on a regular basis in the eating areas... but there are constant customers coming in. The service would be my lowest rating. The young lady who took my order and the orders I witnessed wasn't the most pleasant, but she was quick with the orders. There are public restrooms. Parking lot with lots of space. Overall, three stars. I would give my food 4.5, but the service and the fact they pretty much forgot my second order (we went back for a shake and the Italian ice after our food). It's worth a try, but if the lady taking your order isn't pleasant, please look beyond her and enjoy the meal! Sometimes people have a bad day.

    Soggy unseasoned burger grease tasted old. Fries unsalted. Higher than average for lunch at that quality

    Don't do the burgers! Not good! The fries are great. Service timely. Atmosphere adequate. For this diner, it would not be my first go to.

    Definitely one of the better spots to eat if your in the area. What you would expect from a,"Hot dog stand", type of place.

    Absolutely insane experience. Make sure you get a reservation because this place gets booked up…read morequickly and rightfully so. My wife and I ordered the bone marrow to start and shared a single cheeseburger with the bacon and egg add on. The bone marrow with the marmalade on the side was amazing. I loved the thick toast they gave on the side. It was the perfect balance for such a rich dish. The burger is probably one of the best burgers I've had in my life. The bun was nice and fluffy, the burger was juicy, the bacon was thick and flavorful, and the egg was cooked to perfection. For a couple of bites, we threw a little bone marrow and the marmalade on the burger and it took it to a whole new level. The restaurant was small and comfortable. A tad loud with the music, but I didn't mind too much. I would gladly trade that for the delicious meal we had. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great burger. Just make sure you get a reservation early.

    Arrived just as they opened at 10AM on a Friday and were the first customers in the door, but by…read morethe time we left at 11:30 there was a good sized line. Vibes inside are excellent and drinks are (very) boozy with a variety of booths, tables, and bar seating available. Burger with Egg and Bacon (4.25/5): Look, this is a great burger. Bacon is melt in your mouth and the egg adds a bit of creamy richness on top of the fatty, salty beef and cheese combo. The bread bun is pillowy, but I wouldn't wait in a line for hours for this. Bone Marrow (10/5): Now I would wait in line for hours for this bone marrow dish that absolutely changed my life. This comes with 4 HUGE pieces of bone marrow that you spread over fluffy, perfectly toasted Texas toast and pair with a beef cheek marmalade that exactly rides the line between sweet and savory. If you come here without ordering this, you're missing out big time. Green Salad (4/5): Nice, fresh and I needed some fiber. Nothing mind blowing, but a good change of pace. Crispy Fries (4/5): Very lightly crispy fries (reminiscent of light well for the west coasters), but the sauces are where this shines. Garlic aioli and mornay sauce (think white gravy) were rich, thick, and excellent! Key Lime Pie (4.25/5): Whipped cream on this INCREDIBLE, wish you could just order a bowl of that. I think they serve it slightly warmer than fridge temp (cool not cold) and it just melts on the tongue with really strong vanilla flavor. Pie itself is also good; nice strong tartness with the buttery and salty crust. Mille-Feuille (4.5/5): Chocolate sauce has a nice depth of flavor with the shattering crisp of the pastry. Pastry cream was a lot thicker than I expected, but super rich and delicious. Definitely a dessert to share.
