It's not very often that you get to patronize a local restaurant that not only has phenomenal food but also one of the most positive and pleasant owners you will ever meet in this neighborhood. I'm so glad that Joey G opened up his vision for the rest of us. Such a great little local spot!

Easily the worst mac and cheese I've ever had and quite possibly the worst thing I've ever gotten from a restaurant. Whatever substance they're passing off as cheese is truly vile. It reminds me a lot of school cafeteria nacho cheese, but with a much more off-putting flavor and texture. It's significantly worse than any boxed mac and cheese or frozen mac and cheese from the grocery store.I rarely waste food, but this was the first dish in years that went straight in the trash after a few bites. I will certainly not come back to Joey G's, I can't support a business that has such little integrity that they're willing to serve this to paying customers. Seriously, go anywhere else in Chicago for mac and cheese because it can't possibly be as bad as Joey G's.

I won't get this again. I make better Mac and cheese and frankly the blue box does too. Plus I asked for panko and didn't get it.

My partner and I went to Joey G's on a Saturday afternoon and stepped into cheesy mac heaven. Here is what we ordered:Classic Mac & Cheese (small)Cheeseburger Mac & Cheese (small)Cheesy Fries (large)Italian Beef w GiardinieraScoop of ice cream (chocolate chip cookie dough)Free Italian butter cookie with a $5 purchase We felt like little kids, giddy and delighted. It is fast casual; order at the counter and seat yourself. The cashier did bring our food out to us, and our food came out freshly made to order in tin foil containers, which were then placed in bright yellow baskets. I love Joey G's diner feel. Taking all the leftovers from our meal was super easy, all we had to do was ask for lids.My partner, mid-bite of a forkful of cheesy pasta, said "this is the best mac n cheese I've ever had." We've been wanting to come here for about a year, and finally trekked to Ukrainian Village. The restaurant is right at the corner of Western and Augusta. We found free parking easily along Western.We wanted to try a specialty mac and the classic mac so we could compare against a control. The cheese was creamy and nothing that I could ever recreate on my own. I can't wait to try the jalapeño mac and the Buffalo Chicken mac, and the chicken bacon ranch mac. They use the corkscrew rotini/fusilli noodles and it just catches and holds all the cheese. Their mac n cheeses was drool-worthy and the smalls came with two pieces of garlic bread.Another note about their Italian Beef. I mean, WOW. Move over Portillo's, maybe I've been living under a rock but their Italian beef here I would dare say was actually my favorite. We ordered it wet with giardiniera and I am still thinking about it. Their Monday special is an Italian Beef sandwich (limit two!) for ONLY $5.95. I am trying to clear my Mondays just for this deal.Joey G's is all the rage, get your Mac (fusilli) & cheese fix, plus your Italian Beef fix, and just get here stat! You can choose an Italian butter cookie from the counter with an order of $5. And coming back to the feeling of nostalgia and being a kid, my partner and I ended our meal by sharing an ice cream cone and nibbling on cookies. It does not get better than this :)

Nice and friendly service inside. I appreciated how I was handled and treated by the cashier. Very efficient but still treated like a patron. The Mac and cheese options were extensive and I tried the Italian beef and 7 cheese. I didn't love their base Mac n cheese and all of the options were just the base plus other things. When I want Mac n cheese, I'm usually looking for something richer and more full and I just didn't get that feeling. It's hard to describe but it felt thin like velveta vs a proper roux and cheese. I doubt they use velveta but probably a lot of American cheese which has its place don't get me wrong, but I think I would've preferred a harder and sharper cheese in the mix just to make it more interesting and give it more of a mouthfeel.

+Let's begin by saying If 0 stars was an option that would absolutely be my choice. I was excited to try this new restaurant and its variety menu. However, after my meal today I would HIGHLY discourage anyone wasting their hard-earned dollars by choosing this place. I ordered the Mac Daddy Dog and the original Mac n' Cheese. This is honestly the most disgusting meal I have ever ate in Chicago. For starters how are you going to be known for your Mac n' Cheese and it's not real Mac n' Cheese with FLAVOR. This tastes like a five-year-old who made this after school without parental supervision. It's nowhere near AUTHETIC!! Disgusting even with no flavor. Now on to the hotdog, flavorless, and over consumed by unnecessary ingredients. This is nothing but a gentrified hotdog! Who puts pickles on hot dogs? A typical hotdog that's appears to be from your nearest gas station. This meal was so awful, I didn't even finish it. Nor did my friend, he was also disgusted. I immediately put everything that was uneaten which was all of it, back in the bag, then a garbage bag and disposed of it outside because this "food" is not even worthy of sitting in my home garbage can. $32 of trash. . Pros: Food was ready, and the French fries are delicious.Seriously, do not waste your money here. Joey G's Mac n' Cheese is only going to be good if you're highly intoxicated or off some serious drugs unless you just naturally have no taste buds because I promise, the mac n' cheese has no flavor.

If all your looking for is great food, this is the place to go, if you want great food and service you hit jackpot!It may be Joey Gs but it felt more like going to uncle Joeys cause you were family by the time you left! You fry a free cookie just for ordering, you have 22 flavor options for spectacular ice cream and let's talk Mac and cheese!The classic was this perfect blend of mamas Mac, baked with a perfect crisp top and gooey soft Mac inside. Elevate this with the ridiculous amount of toppings and you e got Joey Gs Mac and Cheese! Located right outside the boriqua area he has a phenomenal chorizo version that cannot be overlooked. The flavors explode in your mouth and leave you so satisfied.I had the privilege of going on a Saturday where the special was baked crab, and I'm not talking imitation this was chunks out of the shell crab that was buttery flaky and fresh! I expected it to be just on top with a bit but it turned out to be mixed through, for the price I paid I was beyond happy with the quality of the meal I got! If you're on the fence, make sure you stop by and prove me right!

They have WAY more than just Mac and cheese... The woman behind the counter was so nice. All I had was ice cream but it was incredibly good, and a good value too! I want to come back and get an Italian beef!

They have a totally awesome and insane menu with every kind of mac and cheese under the sun. I have tried a couple different things but the jalapeño mac and cheese is my absolute favorite. The service is wonderful. Employees are kind and food is quick. They also have a great dessert selection of ice cream and cookies!
