Richardsons Downtown Sports Bar and Grill - Joliet (IL)

4 /5 N G: I work in the area and have heard so much about this place, finally had to try it. I called in my order to eat at the bar. (I have a short lunch) Friendly phone service, and prompt service upon my arrival, warm, good food. Staff was attentive and menu reasonably priced. Will be back.

5 /5 Barb Sigel: Richardson’s Downtown Sports Bar and Grill – A True Hometown Gem From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with genuine smiles and quick, friendly service. The atmosphere at Richardson’s is exactly what you want in a hometown sports bar. I’m a sucker for a great sports bar and a solid smash burger, and here I found both. The food was excellent, the drinks were perfectly made, and the owners were actually out mingling with guests, something you don’t see often anymore. It gave the whole experience a personal, community feel. The outdoor seating is a huge bonus, especially on nice evenings. Between the great food, welcoming staff, and relaxed vibe, Richardson’s Downtown Sports Bar and Grill has easily earned a spot on my regular rotation.

2 /5 JMGK: First and last time eating at Richardsons. Going to a concert at the Rialto and group wanted a bite beforehand. Read reviews and thought it sounded like a good place. Nope, got there when it opened, tables and floors filthy, but thought must have had a busy crowd and no time to clean up after close the night before. Beer was cold, only good thing. Ordered appetizers first, Greasy homemade chips with a tiny cup of salsa, had to ask for a bowl. Ground turkey burger lukewarm, no seasoning at all. Beef was not worth mentioning, lack of beef, terribly dry and no peppers that were ordered. One of the drinks came with a fly frozen in the ice cube… gross Not sure where the photos came from on the website but not here…sad
