This is a must go when you’re in Joliet. Inside you can admire many stuff of the route 66 (plus Blues Brothers of course).
Food is really good, generous portions and reasonable price.
We had pecan pancakes and blueberry pancakes, either as good as they get.
Good coffee also.
Great staff, gentle and professional.

This diner is 2 short blocks from Harrah’s which is nice. We were greeted with smiles and good mornings from staff when we entered. We ordered the 2x2x2 breakfast and a breakfast sandwich on a croissant. The eggs with the 2x breakfast were a little over cooked. Great sausage links that arrived very warm. Yay! The pancakes were big and fluffy. The breakfast sandwich was tasty. The hash browns needed to be cooked another minute. We like them on the crispy side. Excellent service. Our waitress was on top of things. The vibe is an older diner with good food and excellent service.

Wasn’t sure how it would go. It was 7:30 on a Monday morning and it was empty. But the server was friendly, the order came out quickly and it was perfect!! Lots of Route 66 goodies in the diner. Great for Route 66 travelers. Y the way, I got the breakfast with Corned Beef Hash!!

Reminiscent of the 1950’s Diner along the nostalgically fabulous US Route 66. Open for Breakfast and Lunch only, “The Joliet Route 66 Diner” located in Downtown Joliet, just 2 blocks from the Harrahs casino.
My first impression was of how IMMACULATELY CLEAN the place was !! and the decor comfortably fit the theme of the diner. The waitstaff was kind and accommodating, with the understanding that they were very short staffed. The selections offered on the menu were plentiful and abundant at a very reasonable price and this place is kid friendly too. If you’re looking for a comfortable spot to have breakfast with a group or by yourself at the comfortable 14 seat counter or a quick take-out lunch this is the place. enjoy!!

The food and service are always outstanding! I have never had a bad experience at the diner. There is such a variety. The omelets won’t leave you hungry and the breakfast croissants are extremely filling. For lunches I enjoy the soup and sandwiches. The Chicken Tortilla soup on Wednesdays is my favorite. I like how I can get fruit instead of fries. Even though I love the fries, I’m trying to eat healthier. With the Turkey Club I can eat half and save the other half.

Formerly named The Joliet Restaurant, i was impressed with the food portions and cheap prices! There’s always daily specials, even mite of a great deal. I ordrered the hot dog special complete with chicken noodle soup and french fries $4 and coffee. My daughter ordered the kids breakfast special, 1 pancake, 1 sausage patty, and scrambled eggs with a drink, $4. Total bill $12+. Wait staff kept checking up on us and always filled my coffee and water.
Christmas tree was still up and we didn’t mind because we needed that festive spirit. Old school posters and retro toy cars were filled throughout the place.
Meter parking is $1 per hour in front the restaurant and small free library parking lot right next to the place as well. Connected to the hotel plaza and across the street of a library.
