Whiskey River Bar & Grill Joliet

I was in Joliet, Illinois for a job orientation.and how blessed I was to be placed in a hotel with the Whiskey River Bar and Grill in it...
Sandy, her husband and Cherie made my stay here more than enjoyable. The Food was amazingly delicious.
The conversation and environment kept me from actually putting all my stuff back in my car and calling it quits several times....
I recommend you visit this little hideout at the Clarion in Joliet as you'll be pleased with everything from the front desk, room service to house keeping.
They really try to make your stay they best they it can be... What a special place this hidden gem is... Philip Race

Such a letdown to have the front desk clerk attest to great food and receiving poor service and a horrible lineup of food.
We were kind enough to order at 6:30 (knowing they stop serving at 8), and didn’t receive our meals until 8:15.
The staff is absurdly rude, the cook is unfortunately undertrained, resulting in horrible food prep and quality.
We received a 1 CUP SIDE of Mac and cheese AFTER WE PAID FOR a $14 meal. The nachos consisted of chips, chicken, cheese and tomato. My sauce for cheese bites was missing, as well as the sauce on side for bbq chicken sandwich. They did not serve croutons, but instead bread CUBES, used for stuffing!

Food was pretty good.
Candied bacon was excellent, wings were heavy on the breading.
Bartender was friendly but lacked experience a she had to consult a chart on how to make an old fashioned. I think this place just needs some more time and then it will be pretty good.
