- CcathyChicago / Illinois •15 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoWe both ordered the steakhouse, burgers and fries that was very disappointed. There wasn’t more flavor. They were pretty bland, but I have to say the salad and the desserts were absolutely amazing. We took back a lot of food to our room to snack on later. The staff were amazing and it was nice and quiet. We were there to celebrate my son‘s 35th birthday overall it was a good experience. It was really nice too that the waitress brought out the chocolate cake for my son.More infoThe Reserve Steakhouse - Harrah's JolietPrice: Very Expensive• Steakhouse• Joliet•4.7

- RReneeChicago / Illinois •9 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoNY strip steak was cooked to perfection. Tender and delicious. My chicken Marsala was really good. Our waitress, Kathy, was attentive but not overbearing. She helped make our night special. Music was a tad loud but that was fine.

Discover Joliet
With a rich history as a working-class town, Joliet has mastered the art of the sandwich. This quick, portable and reasonably priced meal comes in numerous forms throughout Joliet from Reubens to burgers to poor boys. Thanks to the community's Slovenian heritage, your meal may come with kidney beans or other side dishes that reflect traditional Central European cooking. Another influence on Joliet dining is the city's proximity to Chicago. In Joliet restaurants, you can order your Windy City favorites without making the drive into the big city. These include gyros, deep-dish pizzas and all-beef hot dogs on poppy seed buns. Although diner food reigns supreme in Joliet, that's not all this community has to offer. Steakhouses are the Joliet favorite for fine dining.
