Richardson's on N. Chicago Street in Joliet is a must-visit restaurant for anyone looking for gourmet sandwiches, soups, and salads. Their specialty items are also worth trying, and their catering services are top-notch. The private room rental option is perfect for hosting events or meetings. Richardson's weekly menus are always exciting, with new items added regularly. Their Cubans have become a menu staple, and the Moo and Oink Sandwich is back by popular demand. The Gumbo, Tidy Joseph's (Sloppy Joes), and Pizza Burgers were this week's special, which sold out quickly due to their deliciousness. Richardson's has extended their hours until 5 pm starting from June 6th, making it easier to enjoy their food for longer hours.
