“ Loved it. The restaurant is a little time capsule of the 80's/90's. The food is delicious and staffs are so nice. The restaurant was clean. There were some patrons. Music choice was 2000's-2010's pop. It was such a nice dining experience. No complaints from me. ”

“ Review Visit: October 27th, 2015 A more delicious Arby's, but stuck in the 90's. I had completely forgotten about this place since the one near me shut down while I was a kid. But then a friend mentioned one when I discussed going to Joliet. Man, talk about a trip down memory lane. I don't remember much about Rax from being a kid. But the interior was exactly the same. At least the one I was at hadn't been updated since it probably first opened. So that was a bit of a blast from the past as memories went from non-existent to somewhat blurry. On to the food. I don't quite remember what I ordered, but I do remember getting the BBC... and loving every single bite. I actually debated going back up and ordering more as it was that good. I even debated getting it the next day, too! Had the interior been a bit more updated, it would've gotten a solid 5, but it's hardly a distraction when you have delicious food to devour! As rare as Rax may seem these days, if you happen upon one... check them out! ”

“ Consistent service through out the years..one if the last remaining rax.Joliet treasure on Jefferson.which the would run roast beef specials again. ”

“ One of the last Rax in all of the world and who to think that a place like Joliet can hold that claim to fame. I haven't been here as much as I've drove past the store contemplating every time about trying it. Many of the coworkers have been here for decades which is crazy! There's a larger line in the drive thru than dining in. Dining in, this place has a carpeted dining room which is really different than most restaurants. The sun room dining which doesn't really exist anymore is such a treat to see. The cleanliness of this facility is top notch. I ordered a BLT sandwich which was really good. It's not one of their traditional items on the menu to order. Aspects of the restaurant I do feel like are outdated like their drive thru menu and some of the operating systems. Definitely keep this place alive! This place isn't slowing down. ”

“ Great food. Good service. Good ambience. Why go to Arby's when you can go here? This place is much better. Dining in is cool too. ”

“ We stopped by on a late Saturday afternoon in July to get a couple sandwiches to go for our dinner. I loved the nostalgia, ambience, smells, service at this Rax! You walk in and you enter a time capsule for my childhood! We ordered a big beef and beef and cheddar. Both of our sandwiches were delicious! We got a few packets of bbq sauce on the side. The roast beef is moist and delicious! I hope this location remains open forever. Everyone should stop by and order a roast beef sandwich ! ”

“ The only one in the State of Illinois! Got the large roast beef sandwich and twisty fries. Soooo good. I have no idea why Hardee's doesn't open more of these. ”

“ Ok, we went thru the drive-thru, so ambience can't be part of my review. That lets us focus straight on the food. Now, I remember Rax from decades ago. I've not had a Rax Roast Beef since 1989 or 1990. And a big pox on management for not showing any solid leadership - someone must have paid the C-suite to tank the brand, as they've shrunk mightily. One would think it's the food. Au contraire. We got a regular Rax, a King Rax, and Twisty Fries, along with a chocolate shake. WOW. I was blown away. It essentially tossed the Arby's roast beef into the garbage- the bun was warm, soft, buttery..... the meat? Spectacular. their BBQ sauce was less tasty than I'd remembered- the Twisty Fries were just spot on fantastic! Why this place isn't growing again is beyond me! The food is awesome, and we'll gladly make the drive from the NW Suburbs to Joliet to have this delectable roast beef sandwich again. Try it- it's REALLY good! ”

“ If you're looking for an affordable and tasty meal along with a nostalgic trip then you need to come to Rax. A friend and I made the trek out to Rax in honor of former spokesman Mr. Delicious. The inside of the restaurant is clean, spacious and has the old school sun room. The staff is friendly and quick to serve. I had the roast beef sandwich with fries and a drink. The meal is about what you'd expect from a fast food roast beef shop but it's fun to say you've been to an old chain that's still around. Check out Rax if you're in the area! ”
