Chicago Street Pub — Restaurant in Joliet

My best friend and her boyfriend dined here last night in celebration of their 3 year anniversary and I am just finding out that her bf endured severe food poisoning throughout the entire remainder of the night from the po boy sandwich he ordered from here. Not cool at all. Check your seafood before serving it, for real. Smell it, look at it, and think to yourself, "would I eat this?" If the answer is "no", DON'T SERVE IT. TO WHOEVER IS IN CHARGE OF THIS RESTAURANT: CHECK YOUR INVENTORY ASAP. Temp and date your products and call your vendors if you're doing everything right as a restaurant because this is severely upsetting. Common sense practices ensures you are running a safe establishment. If my best friend or her boyfriend don't call you tomorrow to resolve this, I sure will on their behalf. The health department will soon follow. Wow. THIS IS ONE OF THE MANY REASONS WHY RESTAURANTS ARE STRUGGLING. People don't get paid enough to care about the safety of customers and it shows. Joliet has one of the top culinary schools in the country and right next door is THIS. I don't get it. Now I know where to avoid....

The food tasted like frozen meals, not the good kind. The potato soup was pasty & gluey instead of creamy& gooey. The potato casserole was gluey and bland. Ketchup didn't help. The cost was cheap but foid tasted cheap too. Id rather have paid a little more for something worth eating.

The band was awesome, The Brothers Footman. So great! But people wanted to dance and enjoy the music. There were unused tables in front of the stage. The manager should've moved the table over so that people could have a few feet to dance. They were dancing in the aisles between tables and in front of the door. It made no sense why the business wouldn't address that. It was an easy fix.

I'd go back and give it another try. See another band or I hear they have comedy shows which is awesome. But...

I don't like to give negative reviews but I am one who relies on reviews. So disappointed in what i hoped be a place to add to our local list of restaurants. Took our neice here who was staying at Harrahs, and wished we had made another choice. Service was great. Craft beer selection was great. Food was not. Of course no atmosphere because it looks like I remember from years ago. Was really hoping the food would be great too but it wasn't. By the way, listing what you called cheesy potato casserole which sounds yummy but serving lumpy mashed potatoes with no flavor....very misleading. Also a note to theater goes, there is a limited menu on Rialto show nights . No more...
