Where at, approximately, in Joliet?
Behind Aurora and Rockford, I think (?) its the fourth largest city in IL.
Depending on where you are going to be..... many options.
Chicken Spice for Chicken Chunks, Cemeno's Pizza for tavern style pizza that rivals some of the South Side pizza I grew up on (including Little Joe's and Vito/Nicks), there's Craft'd, MyGrain Brewing, Burger Theory and Hamburgerseria for designer burgers, but since you are asking for carry out I'd want to direct you to something close to where you'd be
Is the hotel near the mall, near 80? I can narrow the suggestions depending
