Ordered the fried chicken, and it was good. They do a very good job of keeping the chicken very moist without drying it out. However there is really no spices or herbs in the batter. The pineapple cheesecake was delicious. Service was fine but they really need to turn the lights up a bit because it's really a little too dark inside.

Craving coffee for the last couple of hours. Was looking for a specialty coffee shop, but wanted to grab a large cup sooner than later. You know, the coffee at this Dunkin' Donuts is actually quite good. Reasonably priced, and the service was excellent.

6. Dock Rotz

Minooka seems to be an odd mix of farmland, industrial complexes on the outskirts of nowhere. To find any food here other than McDonald's was a welcome discovery!
Dock Rotz is a cool little bar several miles from the Interstate. It's modern and clean, so don't worry that your driving a ways just to find an old, dingy members-only bar. This place is fun and the staff and locals are very welcoming.
The beer selection is decent with some beer styles on tap, even having a Belgium style Tripel. The menu is pretty standard bar food including burgers, sandwiches and a few entrees. I went with fish and chips; the fish was very good quality.
Overall, a very nice outpost to grab a drink and a good plate of food.

I've been to a lot of Chinese Restaurants and the Dragon Inn's General TSO's sauce is the BEST I've ever eaten. Better crunchy chicken is dining in but excellent for carry out as well.

I really enjoyed this restaurant. We didn't wait long. The food came out very fast. I got oatmeal and it was hot and very good. The hash browns were very good and not greasy at all. I will definitely go back. Much better food than Grandma's pancake house.

Fat boyz always has awesome food no matter if you eat there or if you get take out! My favorite are the calzones, breaded ravioli, the sampler, and of course the pizza! Only place we order pizza from in Minooka! They also have an awsome connection with the high school!
