Josh’s On The Square

Very clean and new, Plentiful setting, great location parking front and back of building. I hope they get there kinks out. The fries were cold and hotdog bun was also cold and soggy. We ordered the 2 dogs and fries drink combo and split a tamale, price about $ 12.00. I am hoping it’s just getting the service off the ground, and the food will be good .
I respect the sign Josh has hanging saying service will take time after your order i think it said 15 – 20 minutes and he was right it took that long but at least we were warned.
I will be back to give them another try

Great place for burgers, hot dogs, and fries. Its very clean and the staff is very nice. Im glad they finally came to Deerfield

Ordered a dog to take back to my office. Was a little surprised when the cashier mentioned that ketchup was standard since I wouldn’t expect that on a Chicago dog. Turned out, she misheard me and though I had ordered a hamburger. We got it straightened out and I left pretty quickly with my hot dog, fries, and drink.
At the office, I pulled out the fries, which had managed to return both heat and crispiness and then pulled out the hot dog. The dog was loosely wrapped and when I pulled it out, the actual hot dog and bun remained in the bag, leaving me with an empty wrapper in my hand. The dog’s opening was down, so when I pulled it out, the tomatoes and pickles (and some of the mustard, onions, and relish) stayed at the bottom of the bag, well, on the napkins which were at the bottom of the bag. A simply matter to reassemble the hot dog, but Josh’s needs to work on their wrapping and packing technique.

Just had the best chopped salad with Chicken Gyro. The chicken Gyro meat was so tasty, and I loved getting to pick my own veggies and toppings. So good! Kids and husband also loved their burgers and fries! Definitely coming back!

First time and it might be love… fries were good and the hotdogs were fresh (what do I mean? When I bite a hot dog I want a snap not mush) fries were good (could have been hotter) and the food took a while to come out. Next time I am doing the salad bar as it looks exceptional.

Very clean, friendly service with the same tasting items like Josh’s Northbrook site. Easy parking
Just opened

Love this place and also the Northbrook location. The whole family loves it and I love the healthy options too — Turkey Burger with Lettuce bun and avocado. It’s a local favorite hot spot already!

If you love supporting a great local business, you’ll want to stop by and say hello to Josh! Yep, he’ll be there. But, in case you miss him, since he’s probably at his other location, his photo is in a frame by the soda station to welcome you. And, there is a lovely sign on the wall sharing the story and thanking you for coming to his establishment.
We used to come here when it was Tom & Eddies. It’s funny how a new restaurant can come in to the exact same space and make it warm and friendly and super family-​focused, like you’re dining with Josh’s family.
We ordered up two kids meals (under $ 6). They each came with a cheeseburger, refillable drink, and a very large order of fries. The burger, a regular sized burger sliced in half, ended up being too small for my hungry boys who are 10. For smaller tummies, the burger is a great bargain. I ordered up a their famous brat. It was nicely seasoned. My hubby ordered up a plain grilled piece of chicken in a pita. It was a great healthy alternative. The portion size was fantastic, no weird seasonings, and the chicken was tender and grilled to perfection. Chicken pita = the bargain menu item.
Fun décor. Several TVs on the walls. Self-​serve soda machine (which my kiddos love). We were smart to get there at 4:30pm because at 5:30 the rush came in, and an empty restaurant went to full very quickly. Lines get long fast. Congrats to Josh for opening his second location, and I wish him the best of luck… though I don’t think he’s going to need it here :-)

How can a hot dog joint screw up a hot dog? Let me tell you. First over charge. At $ 3.15 each, two dogs, fries and a drink will set you back around ten dollars. Too much. Second make the hot dog on a cold un-​steamed bun with one end bordering on stale (it was hard).
I also tried an Combo dipped with hot giardeneria. It was good and bad. The good was the Italian sausage. Wonderful flavor and a nice little char on the sausage. As good as Johnnies. The bad was the rest of it. The bread was way to dense hiding the beef sausage flavor. The beef was nowhere near as good as the sausage and it wasn’t dipped or juicy like I asked for it. I hate a dry beef or combo. I ended up eating the sausage without the bun and just kind of picked out the beef and tossed out the rest. Oh and don’t be so cheap with the giardeneria!
More good stuff was the burger. Great beef flavor. Would go back just for a burger. Fries excellent.
I know Unilocal folks love this place and his other joint in Northbrook but for the hotdog lover in me it was not ‘happening’. I’ll drive to Portillos in Buffalo Grove for an less expensive excellent hot dog every time.

I have been to Josh’s in Northbrook on more than one occasion. It was recommended to me by another local business. For fast food, it is of very high quality and the service is efficient and impeccable. I was excited when I heard that Josh was going to open a location in Deerfield. I knew that he was going to bring his quality to our neighborhood. As it happens, he was raised in Deerfield. We chanced upon his establishment on the opening day, just checking to see when it was going to open. Things were a bit crazy but despite a slight problem with our order, Josh himself was there to take care of things and made everything right. The food was absolutely delicious, no surprise to me, and we look forward to many more return visits. There is nothing better than a place with good quality food and good people who will stop at nothing to provide you with exactly what you are looking for in a restaurant of this nature!
