Magpie's Joy of Eating 753 Ruby Street, Joliet, IL 60435

"I went here with my sister a little before 6pm on a Thursday. We had talked about trying this place since it had opened. It is in my neighborhood and I had heard good things. We were seated right away and a bottle of water was placed on our table. There were glasses already on our table with what could have been melted ice or possibly used from the people before us, we weren't sure, so we waited for a server to ask for new glasses. After about 20 minutes of several servers walking past us and never being acknowledged since being seated, we ended up leaving. Not sure if we would go back, it was a bizarre experience."

"Delicious food! I had the 3 soups and was pretty filled, even though it's an appetizer. My friend had the grilled cheese and homemade chips. The chips were burned but she didn't complain. I recommend a reservation no matter what time you go. It was a bit noisy but fun!!!"

"Great spot for lunch! Great food great service! The soup trio is the soups of the day. The soups are 4oz each. That and a side of fries and I was completely satisfied! Definitely worth the stop!"

"Our dinner entrees were delicious and the wait staff were very helpful and provided great service. Everything on the menu is handmade with that gourmet flare. Locally bought products, including the wines. Very accommodating if you have any food allergens. And the desserts were delicious."

"While we missed Thayer’s, we were so glad to see its staff and some of its food (along with some new additions) return in a unique environment. The burger and soup were just as great as I remember, and we loved seeing art for sale on the walls. Highly recommended!"
