I feel bad for admitting this but I've lived in the area most of my life and didn't eat at Rax until this year! Wow, have I been missing out! I love salad bars and there just isn't a whole lot of them around anymore. My first time at Rax I got the salad bar and was excited to see that it was pretty fresh. My boyfriend got two roast beef sandwiches and said they were good! I've tried their broccoli soup and blt sandwich on a different visit and They were great too! I'm not a big roast beef fan in general and other items on the menu appealed to me more, so I can't comment on their signature sandwich. We loved how retro the dinning room is! Service was friendly too. Definitely a unique place to visit again!

I haven't had Rax since about 1994 when we still had them in St. Louis. Oh my, the BBC (my favorite), curly fries and vanilla shake tasted exactly the same from when I was kid!! I had a great weekend in town, having dinner on my first night in Joliet and then lunch before I headed for home at the end of this past weekend. I was so happy to be able to relive great memories of my childhood!

They make most of the food fresh, the salad bar is small but amazing, and the french fries r great hot, good cold, and ok re-heated. I hear great things about the baked potatoes, but I've never had one. Nice people and fast service too :)

Greatest thing that you have to be able to make a difference between an hour to get the most important part of my life
