Restaurant

Flavorful, authentic Mexican fare from old family recipes. Menu of many options. Enjoyable, conversational atmosphere. We continue to enjoy coming here.

Best kept food secret in Batavia! It’s tucked away but totally worth the trip. Food is delicious and it’s family owned. The food staff is literally using a “momma’s recipe” for most everything they serve. Give it a try, you won’t regret it. 👍

BEST Pepes we have ever been to. A lot of food. The steak was moist and tasty. Stuffed tacos were loaded. A lot of specials also most days of the week. Out for a Sunday drive, stop in for Modelo 2.99 a bottle in a frosty glass. Yum yum.

Just your average Subway food. I just wish they had more seating area inside of the store.

We really enjoyed dinner here. My family I ate a fried chicken dinner for a decent price right before going to Mooseheart Lights. It’s a slow place but sometimes you want a meal out with the family and this place was what we needed.

Cheesy garlic bread had less than half the cheese it use to have on it

Awesome place to eat great service awesome food

Very good service this restaurant Great service friendly people Clean Restaurant best in town

When I get the chance to go there always good food

Save your money. This is my first and last time at a Pal Joey’s. First off- this place looks terrible. They used vinyl covers over those beer pong plastic tables. They have the same setup as Golden Corral; I wouldn’t be be surprised if they used the same tables and chair left over from when the Golden Corral closed. The open floor plan makes it extremely awkward as you can hear other people’s conversations against your will, as well as the kitchen staff in the back messing around. Food is - at best- bland. For an “Italian place” with “fine Italian food”, this was pretty upsetting. We had the wings and calamari to start. It’s mediocre bar food. That’s the stuff I’d expect from a dive bar. I didn’t know what to expect at a Pal Joey’s, so this was a first for me. Then the pizza arrived. The pizza was a joke. We got the pan pizza. It was like a focaccia bread with sauce and cheese. There’s no seasoning with the dough. Props to cooking it through, though. But man, $60 for two large pans of bread. Not to mention there wasn’t anything that kept the hot pans from the vinyl sheet, so at first our server just plopped it down on it, but then we slipped the small appetizer plates under. Overall, you can make your own opinions when you go if you’d like. But I wouldn’t return.

Holy cow this sushi is good. Some of the best I've had in the Chicagoland area. The poke bowl is really good too.

I've never had a bad experience here! The food is top-notch grandma's style cooking and the staff is always fast and friendly. If you're coming at peak times, expect a bit of a wait as the seating is limited. Definitely worth the wait, though! We always try to grab a table outside when the weather permits! It's in a good spot downtown, so not too much hustle and bustle or noise.

GREAT food, attentive service staff, extremely friendly and service oriented manager. He greeted us each time we came to eat and spent a few minutes talking with us. Bright, open atmosphere which is great for an early meal but not a fan of their extensive use of oak. Great looking brickwork by the kitchen and entrance! Their skillets are amazing, cost like $10 and are more than enough food for 2 people. Briana's is the perfect addition to historic downtown Batavia.

Authentic Mexican restaurant. The best tacos around and totally fresh.

100 times better than portillos. Support local business. Fresh Hand cut fries, great burgers and hot dogs, Italian beef as well.

Cheap food that tastes really good. I highly recommend the milkshakes!

A little slow sometimes but never screwed up my order

Great place to come for good food at a low price !

Food was so good! The service was friendly, attentive, and prompt. Came here by chance trying to watch a game. What a great find! We will be back. Boneless wings were incredible and the juicy Lucy burger was everything you could want it to be. We will be back again soon

My first visit and I enjoyed the food
