151 Springfield Ave, Joliet“Went there for the first time today. Super friendly. Very fair prices. Not a lot on display but asked about a few things and they brought it right out for me to look through.”
“Excellent selection of neat old things like tools, hardware, household items and collectibles. Always fun to explore. Danny is very knowledgeable on many topics. Whenever I need anything, I stop at Big John's first. A satisfied customer for many years.”
“Went last week Wednesday and the service is amazing! The owner Sommer, is so welcoming and friendly. I would definitely recommend purchasing furniture from here if you're looking for well kept antique furniture!?”
“Although I did not purchase anything, I thought this store was cute and quaint. I enjoyed walking around and looking at all of the items. It is filled - I mean jam packed - with antiques. They have everything from silver spoons, paintings, and jewelry, to a letter from Robert F Kennedy. I overheard the gentleman behind the counter say that the store has been around for something like 40 years! No wonder! If you're in the area and you like antiques, I'd stop by and take a gander. You might find something you love.”

1395 N Larkin Ave, Joliet“This place is clean compared to other Restore locations, good selection not just old donates furniture from the 80s reasonable prices compared to other places and friendly staff”
“I’ve gone here a few times. The people running it are SO friendly, I bought a lamp from them that was missing a piece on top and even though I was willing to buy it without the older gentleman behind the counter went above and beyond finding a replacement topper! The prices are fair, and it’s not just some junk store. There are clocks, tea sets, tableware, plenty of lamps, and tons of cute vintage decorations. Highly recommend if you collect anything previously mentioned. There are also records downstairs! And if you need anything to hold said items, they also sell display cases. I’m not sponsored but tbh if you want to shop local vintage this is the place!!!”
“The employees are knowledgeable and very friendly. It is a calm and welcoming environment with a wide variety of beautiful crystals, jewelry, incense, candles and many other things at a good price.”
