ive been coming to this place since i was a kid and have never ordered anything besides their famous delicious poor boy! usually with some onion rings to ahare for the table. nice old school establishment and has a old school small bar area. the poorboys seem a little smaller than they used to be but still tasty especially with the garlic butterine! plenty of parking but can get busy friday and saturday nights so you might have a wait. never had a bad experience there i definitely recommend

Our server was super friendly and attentive. Although it was crowded after adding our names to the waiting list we were actually seated sooner than expected.

Amazing sandwich. Every time I visit I want to try something new, but just can’t. The poorboys are that good… and always have been.

I went to JJC in 81. I met some new friends that I visited yesterday. I was asking for an old fashioned grinder like we used to get. But he couldn’t remember. But he asked me if I remembered Merichkas, I did after I looked it up. 40 years later I had their awesome poorboy again. Almost like trying for the first time again.

Great little local restaurant. The wait staff was good and the food was different from other restaurants. We are in the area every year or so and always stop here for a good meal. You have to try the Poorboy sandwiches.

I’d give this a 5 star if the prices weren’t so high! Come on, almost $22 for 1 sandwich with potato. Wth. Great po boy with cheese and onion rings. But $62 for 2 sandwiches and 1 order of onion rings!!! Geeeezzzzz. Go to Paradise Pup in Des Plaines for the best cheeseburger you’ve ever had. And that’s only $8.99!

Extremely clean restaurant!! Our server was great, the drinks were amazing and the food…… WOW, the food! It was excellent!! My husband and I both had the chicken poor boy sandwich (with fries and soup) and I can say, any poor boy I have from any other place will have VERY big shoes to fill!! (And I’m sure those shoes won’t be filled!!) We can’t wait to go back and try something else! I highly recommend giving them a try!!

Been way too long (few years) since I’ve been here. Took my daughter’s for a poor boy lunch. Phenomenal as always! Love their house salad dressing too! Delicious. Our waitress Barb was great too!

If you like old school, this is the place. The poor boy is their claim to fame. It is a ground steak with garlic butter called butterine. It comes wit sliced homemade pickles. The taste is heavenly but it will sit with you for a day or so. The onion rings are fantastic. The only problem is they give you too many. If you like old school relish trays, they have them. The menu is pretty big, serving steaks, fish, and burgers. I wish I could try it all but the poor boy is so damn good. The service is always great. If you are in the Chicago area, make the trip.
