Crazy Joe's Diner — Restaurant in Kankakee

10/10 would NEVER come again. Took almost 2 hours to get our food, we sat down around 3, ordered our drinks (waited a good 10 minutes for them). We ordered cheese sticks, BEST part of the meal. I ordered a buffalo chicken sandwich and fries (cheese on my sandwich was so burnt I had to take the top of my sandwich off and my fries were burnt and hard. I got an order of cheese sauce on the side and it looked like they put it in a microwave and it got burnt to the edge of the bowl), another person order an omelette that barely had meat in it and never got his side of gravy (probably would of taken 20 minutes for that alone), another order a steak burrito (was made messy and didn't taste like steak at all, her fries were burnt as well), the 4th meal was liver and onions (onions were slightly burnt). Not worth the 2 hour wait and $50 price tag. Aside from the food, our server Tina, was a new girl. I understand learning things at a job, but she forgot a lot of items (we had to remind her of the cheese sauce which they could of kept, who the drinks and food went to, she plain forgot about the gravy but by the time we noticed we already started eating). It took her 3 times to add everything up, to where I pulled my phone out and just did it for her and she still couldn't figure out the correct total. We walked out of there around 5. If I could, I would of just walked out paying for my cheese sticks and Pepsi. I barely ate my fries, didn't use my cheese sauce, and only ate the chicken. The person who ordered the burrito ended up taking a couple bites and asked for a to go box. If you like crappy food and have almost 2 hours to wait, be...

Crazy Joe's Diner in Kankakee, Illinois, is a must-visit for anyone who appreciates a hearty, home-style meal. This classic diner was packed when I arrived for lunch, but thankfully there was additional seating in the back room. Despite being the only server on the floor, my waitress was incredibly friendly and attentive.

I opted for the Hot Tenderloin with mashed potatoes and gravy, and let me tell you, the wait was worth it! This wasn't just any tenderloin; it was a massive, hand-breaded masterpiece, cooked to perfection and served with a generous helping of creamy mashed potatoes and rich brown gravy. The portion size was incredible, and the flavors were spot-on, reminding me of my grandma's cooking.

While the wait time for food was a bit longer than usual (about 30 minutes), the delicious meal and excellent service more than made up for it. Crazy Joe's Diner is a true testament to Midwestern hospitality and comfort food. I'll definitely be...

We ate here twice because the food is that good. The first time was dinner. I got the grilled pork chop, and it was absolutely phenomenal. The flavor was out of this world. It was good-sized, and I couldn't get enough of it. I gnawed every bit of it until nothing was left on the bone. My husband got the meatloaf and said it was really good, also. The waitress, Kelly, was a breath of fresh air and so very helpful and accommodating to our needs. We were so happy with our food and service that we went back for brunch a few days later. Their hash browns are so good... crunchy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Great freshly made French fries. My husband's omelet was great, and my burger was tasty as well. I will be dreaming about that pork chop until we ever get back here. If we're in the area again, we definitely will eat here again. For the price, you...
