Anthonys Restaurant and Pub - (Near Joliet, IL)

4 /5 Marcos Betancourt: Decided to check this place out after leaving a show at The Forge in Joliet. Needed to find a place that was open late for food before heading to my hotel since I was coming from out of town and I found this place. Didn’t expect there to be security and a $10 cover to get in but I payed since I didn’t want to go for fast food. Turns out there was a UFC event they were hosting. Sat at the bar and was attended by Alison. She was friendly and checked if I needed anything quite often. Ordered the pulled pork sliders which were pretty good.

5 /5 Ethen: I got their house special burger with fries and a slice of cheesecake. The bartender saw that I didnt get much fries and got me an extra half or ¼ order for free to make up for it. Really great service. The burger was really good, and the cheesecake was awesome. The cheesecake was a bit pricey ($8) but the rest of the menu is reasonably priced so you wont be breaking the bank by getting it. Ill definitely be coming by again. The only gripe I have is I could taste alcohol in my diet coke. Maybe the glasses arent cleaned thoroughly enough. Not a huge deal but I dont drink so it was definitely an unpleasant surprise.

5 /5 John Churchill: Went here for dinner with my parents on a Sunday evening. The staff was friendly and we were able to get seated right away. Our server checked up on us often and made good recommendations for food and drinks. My mom got the Chopped Salad, my Dad got the baked Mostaccioli, and I got the steak sandwich. Everyone enjoyed their meal and the portions of food were decent size especially for the price. For a sandwich or burger expect to spend about $15-$20. Entrees a bit more, $20-$25. We didnt have to wait long for our food. Also there were a lot of TVs around so it was a great place to watch sports. Overall it was a great experience and I would recommend it to others.

5 /5 Jason McCauley: We stopped by here for something different and was amazed at the place. Great sports bar atmosphere and the food was served quickly and was delicious. Our waitress was excellent. We will be coming back here.

3 /5 Tony Zauner: I wanted to share feedback from our visit on August 3, 2025. We were a party of seven and were seated promptly, which we appreciated. The food itself was very good, and we enjoyed our meals. However, we experienced several service issues that made the visit feel longer than expected: Our server took our drink orders when we were seated, but about 10 minutes later returned to ask about appetizers, which suggested the drink order had been forgotten. When we placed our dinner orders, we requested certain modifications (e.g., no mushrooms, no onions). When the meals arrived, those items were still on our plates. The total time for the visit was about 2 hours and 30 minutes for burgers and chicken, which felt unusually long given that the restaurant did not appear busy aside from the bar and patio areas. I’m not upset—just hoping this feedback is helpful. If there were staffing or kitchen constraints that evening, I understand, but wanted to make you aware of the experience so it can be addressed with the team. Thank you for your attention, and we appreciate the good food.
