Restaurants near Mckinley Woods County Forest Preserve

Have ALWAYS enjoyed eating at the Reserve in the Harrah's Joliet location. Over the many years , I've become good friends with several of the chefs and servers, and have never been disappointed with either food or service. KUDOS.

We had an awesome time! Food was great! Our server was the bomb!! TIFFANY IS INCREDIBLE-we would return just because of her. She was great at checking in on us, she was attentive, she was funny and engaged with us! She definitely is a gem!

Cut 158 Chophouse is my favorite restaurant for special occasions. I had been talking to my husband about the restaurant after going there for the first time last December. Earlier this year, I made a reservation for our Valentine's Day dinner. We arrived at scheduled time and was immediately seated at a table on the second level of restaurant. My husband was very impressed over the great menu selections. The food, the service, and the overall ambience of the restaurant contributed to a perfect evening!

My husband and I went here for Valentine's Day. We happen to go about a year ago to Juliet's and was amazingly surprised at the restaurant, quality of food (real Chef), wait staff. It would be something you would find at an expensive, costly Chicago restaurant by far. The price of the food and drinks are also reasonable. Parking is easy too. Being a Joliet native and familiar with these surroundings, it is quite safe to be down there, as some people are not native and hear Joliet east side and think it is unsafe. It's near the Rialto Theatre. A must in my opinion!

Dana's chicken was delicious, thin and crispy outside, tender inside. Side juliann potatoes were baked cheesey and scrumptious! The sauce on the green beans was delicious 😋 Definitely a must. We also enjoyed the SW eggrolls along with three accompanying sauces. The cashew sauce was very tasty along with the cilantro ranch. Our server was attentive and pleasant.
