Starters, Burgers, Wraps and So Much More!

A Utica, IL staple since 1958, Joy & Ed's Utica has satisfied countless customers with delicious sandwiches, burgers, seafood dishes and much more.

We can't even keep track of how many people have told us we make the best burgers in town! Everything we make is fresh, not frozen! Our burgers are homemade with fresh ground beef and our fish and chicken are all hand-breaded.


Indoor dining, group dining and take-out options are all available. Visit us at 113 Mill St or call .

"Highly recommend Joy & Ed's! Came from an afternoon at Matthiessen to eat here. We had a fantastic dinner! We had the deep-fried pickles for an appetizer! They were delicious! For dinner, we had beef tacos, bacon cheeseburger with tater tots and pizza. Everything was so good! Huge portions! Friendly staff! Great food! We will be back!"

"Quiet Sunday morning breakfast. 5 of us outside before the town got crazy. Staff really friendly. Biscuits and gravy were very good. Did I mention staff was great? Food took a while to come out but I’m not sure they were ready for the turnout they had. One of only a couple of places in Utica that serves breakfast. It was so relaxing we didn’t mind the wait at all. Highly recommend!"
