Its a shame about Binnies. They had good food but service levels were pretty poor. On more than one occassion I personally saw or had heard of people being spoken to poorly by the staff and management. People had to wait a long time for "fast food". The location was good during soccer season and the inability to capitalize on that was clearly costly. I'm not sure how a place can open and not make it a full year before throwing in the towel. I will miss the beef sandwiches and burgers there because they were excellent.

I just tried Binnies for the first time right before Christmas. Found the food to be pretty good at a decent price. Only a few other customers there during the lunch hour, though. Talked to the manager/owner(?) and told her I would definitely be back with my wife. She seemed optimistic and gave no indication at that time of any impending doom. Went back one week later, and the doors were locked. Another empty storefront to look at every day on my drive along Rt 59.

I thought Binnie's was pretty good. The problem is many people probably underestimate how many hot dogs and beefs it takes to profit enough to pay the rent and all the other overhead. Food has a pretty low profit margin and unless you're doing a land office business, it's harder to survive than you would imagine.

I'm pretty excited about chipotle and which wich! Plainfield needed more variety on the north end.

Which wich will be an awesome addition around here!!!!

along with Chipotle!!

Chipotle is going to over-saturate just like Krispy Kreme did several years ago and it will be the demise of the brand. There is one at 95th and 59 and another by the mall. I always liked going there because it was something you don't find on every corner...soon it will be like all the rest.

Been to Binnie's twice, The beef sandwich was good, (take out)
Dined in with a party of 9 after a football game and the quality of the food was bad, the buns were not fresh, and the customer service was poor, orders were filled wrong, it is no surprise to me that this establishment went under. I would be nice to see an authentic Mexican Restaurant go up somewhere in Plainfield, that is good and reasonable

Went to Binnie's once for take out, food was average and not good enough to go back and deal with the employees poor attitude. It was not the food that made Binnie's go under it was customer service. I hope that restaurants read comments that are placed here, I hate to see any business close anywhere. I have also been to Wild wild west, service was good food was okay I do like Baby back blues better for BBQ.

Food was good but took for ever to get it. My son FAV !!!!

Wild west bbq is really good!!!
the Nevis Brewery that just opened looks like a winner too!!
That delicia in that same shopping center takes forever to get food , even on carry out
try the carnitas!!

For delicious Italian food got o to Fat Ricky's on route 30 and 135th. Very good quality and delicious.....pizza, pasta, beefs, calzones.......etc.You won't be disappointed.

its very tough for any small business to make it without the local folks coming out o show support i own Bring it Home -"Again" resale in plainfield we opened just over a year ago and it has ben awesome..

I agree about Chipotle. The one in Jolirt started out good but food has gone down hill lately. Steak had all sorts of gristle last time we were there. Overrated. If the customer service is not good things will go downhill fast. Sorry to hear about those 2 going under. There is a which wich in oak room I have been to for lunch and every time I order a French dip the same employee complains about it. Lets hope this one is better.

Two more business leaving plainfield what a surprise...this is going to be a ghost town...

Now Plainfield has more of a reason to have Dick put his Portillo's in Plainfield . Best location Dick would be RT 59 & 135th Street

The village treated dick like dirt and he built in shorewood..

More gas stations are needed in the downtown area. There are limited options for fueling your vehicle and the pumps are packed at most of the other stations in town. Plainfield needs more gas.

The problem with hotdog stands and those type of businesses, is that they need to have bsusiness during the day to stay alive. If you do not invision that place as a place you would go to for dinner like a Culvers, Portillo's, Chilli's etc. people won't go enough to keep it in business. If the business is only looked at like a place you would go to after a little league game, or a quick bite on the run it can't survive. There are not enough business people working in Plainfiled to support the small local places and all the McDonald's, Culvers, white castle etc. The competition is to great. If we had more industry, it would create more business for hot dog stands, beef stands, and sandwich shops. Your regular blue collar fork truck driver, production worker etc. love those type of places for lunch, and support them. That is why it works in places like the city
