This group covers the non-Asian restaurants, cafes, bars and food businesses that also appear in a mixed-cuisine food scene, including American diners, pizza, Mexican food, burgers, steakhouses and bakeries. Standard US restaurant norms apply: lunch and dinner service with a quieter stretch between, cards and tap-to-pay accepted almost everywhere, and a tip of 15-20% customary for table service. Fast food and quick-service counters expect payment up front and tipping is optional. Bars check ID for anyone who looks under 30, and the drinking age is 21 nationwide. Many restaurants in this group take reservations online through third-party platforms, while casual and fast-food spots are walk-in only. Sales tax is added at the register on top of the menu price and varies by city and state, so the final total is usually a few percent higher than the posted prices suggest.
The business lists hours on 7 days of the week. On most of those days it is open 11 am–10 pm. As with most places, expect changes around holidays; the phone number below is the fastest way to confirm. The listed phone number is (815) 582-4438. Many businesses also reply to text messages on the same number if it is a cell phone. More information is available on its website, richardsons81n.com.

Joliet is in Illinois, in the Midwest, where summers are warm, winters are cold and snowy, and most errands are done by car; businesses keep steady year-round hours with the usual holiday changes. US addresses list the street number and name, then the city, state abbreviation and ZIP code, and Joliet follows the same pattern; a suite or apartment number such as Ste 200 refers to a unit inside the building. The map link on this page shows the exact spot.

This place is great!! Stopped in for a few drinks before seeing a show at Rialto. Met the owner Marzell, super nice guy. Amazing bartender and waitstaff. Drinks were great! Would have loved to try the food, but we had just eaten a big dinner before heading to the show. The food that the people sitting by us at the bar received looked delicious and they were giving great feedback about the food to the bartender so I’m assuming it must have been good. I don’t live in Joliet but next time I’m visiting I’ll definitely go to Richardson’s to try the grilled mac n cheese, check it out on TikTok!!

2-13-26 Carry Out Order Today I was working late in downtown Joliet. I Googled restaurants near me and landed on Chicago Street Pub, but when I called to place an order, they did not answer. Then I called Richardson’s. Richardsons answered and stated 10 min completion to cook my order. So, I arrive about 15 min later, and they apparently had no record of my order. So, I had to sit for another 15 min while my order was cooked - Fridays are apparently bingo night, and that was fun to observe while waiting for my food. - Richardson’s generally struck me as a clean place.

Ordered a salad through grub hub. Got there and they advised that it is not a menu item. Okay but was through the link on your website but fine. Swapped for ultimate chicken salad. Received salad. Loaded with white onion, old carrots and dry chicken. Didn’t have the avocado or egg listed on the menu. Cost $19. Not at all worth it.

Met the owner when my go to spot was closed for the 3rd time in a row. I asked about the menu and he sold me as soon as he said “soulful sandwich”. It’s better than you could imagine. Warm, inviting atmosphere clean and very nice and presentable server and staff.

The food was wonderful and the service was even better! The portions were way bigger than I expected for the prices that we paid. If you haven't been to Richardsons you should take the time to visit. It will be worth it.
