Reviews
"This place is worth a drive off old Rt. 66. Great memorabilia and selfie opportunities! The burgers and fries were good, but not exceptional so go for the ambience. The strawberry shake was delicious!"
"I loved the place. But you have to maintain the statues and paint them. But I liked the food place. We couldn't get in because they open at 11 in the morning and we went earlier."
"The Polk-A-Dot has been a staple in our Joliet family, and the number one place I take Chicago-based and out-of-the-country friends for a slice of Americana! Not just a pretty drive-in…they have legit good food (those mini corn hot dogs are GOOD!)"
"To start off, don't take my rating of 5 stars as set in stone. I'm rating them at five stars because the attraction itself seemed really nice. But they were not open when we were there. So we could not sample the food. It may be real good. But without trying it, I didn't think it would be fair to rate them less without at least trying to food first. So take my rating with a grain of salt. The attraction it self is excellent. I probably should give them 5 stars for the attraction itself. So five stars it is. I love the characters for the experience. As well as the photo opts. The Polk-A-Dot is also a very short walk across and steps down the street from the Braidwood Zoo. So it's kind of like two attractions in one stop. But be careful crossing the road if you walk over."
"What a fun atmosphere inside the dining room, parking lot and even the restrooms. The food is typical burgers, fries and shakes. We were very happy to have stopped here during our Illinois Rte 66 trip."
