My wife and I each had a poorboy sandwich, dinner salad, ice tea, and double baked potato. The poor boys were cold and the bun cold and soggy. I was surprised how tiny the sandwiches were as the price was $14.50 each for the poorboy plate! The house salad was good. Our waitress was pleasant. The...
Wow - I was really surprised here. Growing up, my dad brought home Marichkas' poorboy sandwiches, fries and pickles at least every coule of weeks. I remembered the sandwiches to big....tender cube steak grilled just right, awesome garlic butter sauce. I was really disappointed. The sandwich seem...
Used to eat here 7.to 10 times a year. Quality is way down and I propably will never return. My steak was grayish in color when cutting into it, the manager agreed. I think I could buy this quality of meat from the trucks that drive around in the neighborhoods.
Ok,my experience left me wondering why did i come here. waitress kim was absolutely adorable a pleasant suprise versus the overpriced foods
If you have never had a steak sandwich on garlic bread - You MUST go here! It's called a PoorBoy and boy is it good! Order with extra garlic juice, melted cheese and an order of the BEST onion rings you'll ever have! I can remember eating at this restaurant since I was a child and now that I am mar...
This restaurant has the best poorboys I have ever had! I have lived many different places (including Chicago) and I still savor the delectable taste of their poorboys. Being in the health feild I am quite particular with what I eat -- but even I say having one of these artery cloggers once a year ...
Great Food! The building could use some modernization & they defintely need to add a kids menu.
I moved from Joliet when i was eleven years old so I have not had a Merichkas Poorboy for thirty plus years, but my mouth still waters when I think of them. I would love to get their exact recipe.
I was just recently back in the area after being gone for a number of years for a family reunion. We all met at Merichka's for our famous poorboy sandwiches, and they are still the best in the world. Nothing can compare to them, I would give anything to have that recipe. Everytime I have ever though...
Best Long Island ice tea's in the area. Poor boy's good, too.
Merichka's is the best restaurant in the Will County area. Not only does it have the best poorboy's I or anyone I know has ever had, but their steaks are tops also. The overall quality is awesome. I will always be a regular whenever I come home and vist!!!
I am 50 and ate there as a kid prior to leaving the area at the age of 18. I've travelled around the world and nothing compares to the tasty poor boy sandwich. I only wish they could send me one.
awesome food best poorboys you will ever eat. not good if your on a diet, but a great meal
Love Love the poorboys!! Onion rings are the best too!!
Grew up in Joliet eating these "Poor Boys" and don't get back often enough. 1st one in over 8 years.Merichkas is still on of my must stops when back in town. Place is old but it goes with what they do and that is great food with outstanding service. Don't change a thing "It Works" GBales
The is one of the world's greatest place to dine. I kid you not. I have been around the world; I love Merichkas. My late parents would take us from Naperville to Merichlas every so often; what a treat; the Pooboy is still great (steak sandwich on a roll with garlic sauce). One of the best reason...
I went in there one day to try the food and the customer service was terrible. The quality of the food was not all that. there prices are too much.
