Reviews Merichka's

First time here. I love places that have a solid family history. We got what they are known for, the poor boy steak sandwich. The thing that makes this different is the garlic butter it is applied to the meat, not the bread. Unlike garlic bread that can be inconsistent flavor, this flavor is consistent throughout. Its a party in your mouth with each bite. We didn't get anything on it, to get the full flavor of the 6 oz round steak. Next time I'll add the mushrooms. They offered cheese, onions, or mushrooms. It comes with thinly sliced pickles. I have to say it adds a nice touch, considering I'm not in the pickle fan club. The sandwich is a nice size and will get me 2 meals. I ordered fries and my husband ordered onion rings. The fries were ordinary, the star was the onion rings. The presentation was appealing, they were crunchy, and nice light rings. You could bite through the onions, cooked perfectly. I hate biting in an onion ring and the whole thing comes out. It's served with ranch dressing. Our friends recommended the double baked potato. It was good but I think it really didn't go with this sandwich. My husband enjoyed it though. The atmosphere is homey, and comfortable, The service is very good and attentive. The onion rings are pricey but worth every penny. This restaurant has been around forever and does not need my review, but they have a great place, and we need to spread the word! We drive 60 miles round trip and we'll be back!

Merichka’s is such a Joliet go to. Food is good and always good service. I personally prefer the Yodel burger over the poor boy. The pork chops are giant so definitely expect to be here a little longer so they can cook it all the way through.

Have loved it forever, just 4 stars as the price is a bit much for poor boy. Yes it's good but a bit much The food and service is great. Though I usually don't order anything besides a poor boy. Double baked potato and an onion ring app...
