“Another one not to miss! Rhonda made our lunch a blast! She was patient and so fun!We had a group of 8 ladies drinking and being very needy. Food and drink were great! Thanks for a wonderful afternoon! Take the trek out and enjoy, you won't be sorry!“

“Good service. Friendly. Pretty good menu with possibly daily specials. Tasty food and ample portions.A little difficult to spot the entrances in the dark, but there's one in the middle of each long side. Nothing fancy inside and the floor is painted concrete, so it's a bit cool in cold weather, but it should be nice in the summer. Screened in outside dining for warmer weather, too.Worth a visit.“

“It was my first time visiting here and it was such a splendid experience! I went for lunch and the food was delicious. I got the salmon salad which came with candied pecans, carrots, and cranberries and a smoky blue cheese dressing! For $16 the plate was huge of salad and a decent sized salmon piece. The waitstaff were immediately kind. I would love to go back and try the quiche. I will be back again. Thanks for making us feel welcome for lunch!Vegetarian options: There are salad and soup varietiesDietary restrictions: There are salad and light options availableParking: Free 3 hour street side parking but when busy it is hard to find parkingKid-friendliness: I would not think that this would be a place for kids, this is an appropriate place for celebration dinners, wine nights, ladies evening night out and date nightsWheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp outside“

“We had the most amazing dinner tonight at Rhythm Kitchen! It was our first time and the food was amazing- there’s something for everyone! The atmosphere is so special and the staff is truly wonderful; our server was especially great with our very active toddler. Great food made by great people served by great people in a great atmosphere that is family friendly, we can’t wait to come back soon!“

“The best oysters I've had in a long time! Excellent service, the food was spectacular Maple Leaf Farms Duck, Steak Diane, scallops, Chicken Orleans. Outstanding dessert, Chocolate Mousse, Panna Cotta. I was here for my birthday and Chef Todd cooked my Cherries Jubilee tableside! The owners are hard working hands on and very personable. The cocktails, Old Fashion,Gin Royale, Manhattan classic cocktails made perfectly. I cannot say enough for the all around experience of this establishment.“

“Decent food good vegetable soup just dont give enough of it maybe try all you can eat soupWent back to Jack's last night ordered the fried chicken which was great but I was disappointed with their vegetable soup was Luke warm at best but what I didn't like was the addition of broccoli an cauliflower in their vegetable soup it overpowered the other veggies in the soup didn't taste like the soup I had gotten before my suggestion to you guys is leave the broccoli an cauliflower out of your soup thank you“

“We have been to Weaver’s twice with big groups and the food both times was excellent and so was the service! Recently just there Jan 7, 2023 with a group of 12. Our server did an amazing job! Food came out much quicker than anticipated with that big of a group and was excellent! If you haven’t tried the lemonade shake ups- they are awesome! I recommend Weavers if you haven’t tried it you should!!!“

“Brisket nachos, brisket Mac and brisket sandwich and fries was soooooo good. Came out quick!! Good flavor not fatty. First time here and will definitely be back! Waitress didn’t come back and ask how things were she was busy behind the bar doing stuff. But when she brought the bill she thanked us. People were friendly. New go too atmosphere was great.“

“Finally, after looking for memorable fried chicken in Peoria, Illinois, I found it right here at the Bartonville diner. It's not for looking, because I have eaten fried chicken at eight or 10 other places and search. Things I like about this venue is the old-fashioned venue that I've missed for so long. Also, the service is provided with a cheery smile! Follow the fried chicken dinner with a huge slice of carrot cake and a scoop of ice cream. I highly recommend the Bartonville diner! Their menu is huge, so don't just go there for the fried chicken.“

“My husband and I stopped in while in town today, for our first time!! Great food, wonderful drinks and outstanding service! Carrie P waited on us and she was wonderful! We own a restaurant in central Illinois and we appreciate hard working staff that pays attention to detail and are a joy! We will absolutely be back!“

“I’ve been a regular to this place for the last five years, and it never fails to impress. The food is consistently delightful, with a perfect blend of Middle Eastern flavors that tantalize the taste buds. Their fries are, without a doubt, the best in town—crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside. What makes Khoury’s stand out is the combination of quick service and friendly staff, which makes every visit a pleasure. It’s refreshing to have a fast-food option that doesn’t compromise on health or quality. The fusion of tastes here is a delight.“

“One of the best-kept secrets in Peoria! The atmosphere was wonderful, and the service was the best we've experienced anywhere in the area or for that matter anywhere. And the food? Phenomenal is the only word that comes to mind! This may sound crazy but the scalloped potatoes were simply fabulous. My Delmonico steak... I've eaten at restaurants that charged 5 times the price and I'd take this steak over theirs hands down. My wife had the wild boar and she raved over it. I simply cannot recommend it enough.“

“This is a cool local spot. Order anything Mac n Cheese related on the menu and you will not regret it. The nachos were great too. It's a nice atmosphere with a friendly wait staff. It is also quite lively, at least the two times we went there, which can be nice.“

“Our first time eating there today and the food was delicious and cheap! I couldn’t believe the cheap prices and how yummy and fast everything came out to us. The soup was hot and fresh and so was everything else. We definitely will be back!Vegetarian options: There are veggie optionsDietary restrictions: The menu is HUGE and so many optionsParking: Plenty of free parkingKid-friendliness: definitely family friendlyWheelchair accessibility: There are no stairs but the front door is a little bit of a tight squeeze“

“My wife and I came here for our anniversary after seeing reviews for the place, and it exceeded all expectations. Even though we didn't have a reservation and they were fairly busy, they were able to seat us upstairs, where we had the room to ourselves.Everything from the appetizer to the dessert was prepared to perfection, and the staff ensured we had anything we needed without being overbearing. Everyone was friendly and helpful when it came to any questions we had regarding the menu. The prices were more than fair given how excellent each dish was.Can't recommend this place enough; my wife and I will certainly be returning when we come through the area again.“

“We ordered a catfish po-boy and a Philly steak sandwich with fries. The catfish wasn't thawed and so they took forever to make our sandwich. Wish they would have asked us to order something different. The Philly was basically like a chopped up Chuck steak with large slices of green pepper. The fries were okay.“

“My recent visit was a journey of mixed experiences, but one thing stood out: the exceptional service.The atmosphere is undeniably intriguing, setting the stage for a memorable dining experience. The energy in the air adds to the overall ambiance, making it a place worth exploring.Our server was the true highlight of the evening. They went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and satisfaction, making the meal truly enjoyable.As for the food, while it didn't quite reach the heights of culinary excellence, it certainly had its moments. There were some dishes that impressed, though none left me speechless.One minor letdown was the cheese accompanying the pretzel. It arrived slightly colder than expected, and the texture was not quite up to par. However, this was a minor hiccup in an otherwise enjoyable meal.Surprisingly, the root beer stole the show. It was an unexpected delight, adding a refreshing twist to the dining experience.In summary, Obed & Isaac's offers a unique atmosphere, exceptional service, and food that, while not mind-blowing, still manages to satisfy. With a few tweaks, it could easily become a go-to spot for a memorable meal out.“

“We were there on a super busy Monday. They were very polite and pretty quick to seat us. Our server had lots of tables but seemed to always be around when we needed her, which wasn't often. The pizza was really good and the kids burger looked to be fresh hand pattied. Try the rueben pizza, unbelievable ?. Can't wait to visit again.“

“If wanting eggs over easy don't go here. Can't cook eggs at all. Sent them back because asked for over easy and came out hard. Then got them back and whites wasn't even cooked. But they was under easy. Bacon ? was cold, toast didn't come with the meal. Waitress was too busy talking to friends. Just don't go!“

“Everything was delightful! I had the corned beef wrap a with side of tots. Everyone else in my group enjoyed their meals too. Staff were attentive and friendly! We got here early enough on a Monday(not many places open on Mon.), by the time we left it was very busy. I'd go back again for sure!“

“First time here, came highly recommended. Food was outstanding! Cream of mushroom soup was the best I’ve ever eaten! Heard people raving about the lamb sandwich, will plan a day to Peoria on a Wednesday so I can try it very soon. Keep up the great cooking!“

“I love Childers. Great environment, great food. Amazing coffee choices. The southern Benedict is my favoriteKid-friendliness: They don't skimp on their children's menu. They get a fancy brioche style bun for the burger. The chicken tenders are great, too.“

“We really enjoyed our meal here. Various burgers were had all around with no complaints and several compliments. Quantity was substantial fror me, 6'6" & 250#.Beers were cold & fresh.Atmosphere is that of a humble Irsh style sports bar. Pool tables, Several TV's, gambling machines.There is a dinning only side.“

“A Hidden Gem with Delicious Smash Burgers and CheesesteaksReview:If you are thinking of dining at "The Office", rest assured you'll find something you like. Be aware while you can eat here for Lunch and Dinner it is a classic bar and grille ambiance...so if you are looking for a quiet ambiance where you can stare into your partners eyes...this isn't it. Expect people to be having a beer, laughing, joking, having fun...even the servers are engaged and having a good time. If you are wanting somber...go somewhere else.If this is your first time pay attention to the weekly food specials, which showcase the chef's creativity and the restaurant's commitment to offering something new. From what I've tried, the specials have never disappointed, varying greatly from week to week and aligning with the season's flavors.Now, let's talk about the main stars of the menu - the smash burgers and hand-cut fries. If you're a fan of burgers, you're in for a treat. The smash burgers here are perfection, reminiscent of the classics but with an irresistible twist that sets them apart (get them with the smash sauce or try the patty-melt). And those hand-cut fries? They're a league of their own, rivaling, if not surpassing, some of the well-known chains (five guys anyone?).BUT WAIT, there's more. ;) The cheesesteak here is nothing short of a hidden gem. Tender, flavorful, and generously portioned, it's a must-try for anyone visiting.As for the ambiance, as mentioned earlier it's what you'd expect from a classic bar - cozy, inviting, and perfect for a laid-back meal or a casual hangout for a cold beer or whiskey with friends.In summary, The Office on Main has won me over with its classic food offerings, especially the smash burgers, hand-cut fries, and cheesesteak. If you're in the mood for comfort food done right, look no further than this establishment.Note: I downgraded just a tad on atmosphere due to some weird items e.g. bathrooms next to grill area and sink outside of bathrooms.“

“Food was super delicious and great service and great communication and wonderful place to eat at for a great time with family and friends. Our sever’s name was Sarah K and she did a great job. I would highly recommend this place to anyone.“

“This may have been the best fried tenderloin I’ve ever had! Husband had a burger which was good also! The chips are waffle chips and very yummy! I got my fries well done and I usually don’t like thick fries but these were actually really good! Highly recommend. We got it to go which was good because it was very busy inside. I’m not sure how we’ve never tried this place before as my mom lives less than a half mile from here but we will definitely be back.“

“My "GO TO" suggestion is ..... IF you're in a hurry or looking for something lite and quick to hold you over till lunch (or a bit later yet) ~ order the "Small (or Large) Monster Breakfast Sandwich".It NEVER disappoints.“

“Stopped here while traveling through Peoria. We called when we were 50 minutes away and ordered ahead. We were greeted by the owners who were just lovely. The pizza was amazing. Best deep dish I've had! It was expensive but worth it. We will be back every time we drive through Peoria.“

“Perhaps the best place in the area to get a burger but they have soooo much more than burgers. Pizza, salads, wraps, Giant baked potatoes, great sides and tons of Beers, whiskies, ciders and cocktails. Great staff, friendly atmosphere, good prices, all around fantastic. Definitely recommend.“

“The Owner Ashley took very good care of us! Great food & drinks!This Business is definitely a destination to eat, drink & meet friends. Very clean, organized, friendly staff. Very cool memorabilia displayed in this bar, pub, restaurant.We shall be back soon.Eric J. Grimm.“

“I have eaten here many times for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. My favorites are anything on the breakfast menu, the onion rings, and liver and oinons. I never have enough room for dessert, but their list looks wonderful. Last night we stopped for dinner. I had liver and onions. For $10.25 I had a bowl of stuffed pepper soup, 2 slices of liver with grlled onions, fresh steamed broccoli, baked potato and a roll. Everything I ate was delicious. Wed nights is chicken night and Fridays is fish night. Try them out if you haven't. Great food and friendly service in a diner atmosphere. You can't ask for more than that in my book.“

“We absolutely love Kelleher's Irish Pub! We live about 40 min away so almost every time we come to Peoria we make sure to stop in for some amazing food. Their Irish Platter has the best combination of authentic tasting Irish food. .. my go to when I can't decide which meal to pick. I don't think we've ever made a bad or even an "ehh" choice tho. The staff is always friendly and inviting which makes the experience all the better! And... they know how to pour Guinness!“

“Fantastic food and a hard-working owner! Our first trip here for Easter Sunday brunch could have been a wash if we didn’t gather our patience and embrace the fact that any place as mobbed and behind as this just had to be great food. A fellow food lover in the line promised me it would be worth the wait and she was right. The issue was every owner’s nightmare—-staff calling out in a booked day. This owner kept a smile on his face even as he was clearly performing many jobs! Once our large party was seated, we enjoyed some of the best brisket, fried chicken, greens, and grits to be had in the area. Seasoned is the word, and to perfection. We loved the vibe of this busy spot, clearly a local fave, in addition to the great food. Doesn’t look fancy and isn’t pretentious despite cuisine worth bragging about. Can’t wait to go back for the regular menu and perhaps smaller non holiday crowd.“

“We have a very picky eater. A few months ago she wanted to go out to eat and get French toast. With an internet search, I found the Buttermilk Cafe. Because she is usually a slow eater, I put her order in before the rest of us had made up our minds. She enjoyed her food so much, that she finished ALL of her food as we were getting ours. She's always asking to go back. The reason I didn't give 5 stars is that a couple of weeks ago the baby had fallen asleep without eating breakfast. I wanted to have food in the car when he woke up. They wouldn't bring food to the car. :(“

“A staple of Pekin and one that has stood the test of time. Everything is great! Try ‘em all! My wife and ordered take-out and we were so hungry that I forgot to take a picture! This picture was taken right before we (my wife) gobbled it all up.“

“We stayed in Peoria for a night and wanted coffee for the drive home. Stopped at Eli's in Morton and we were very happy with our experience. The house coffee was amazing. My fiance had an iced latte which was very good as well. We had a breakfast sandwich and some scones. Everything was warm and fresh and tasted amazing. We took some bakery items home for family. It's a quaint little coffee shop. Very clean and neat. Highly recommend stopping in when you are nearby!“

“My wife was looking for a tea room in the Peoria area. In her search, the Emerald Tea Room came up. It was conveniently located in East Peoria near a few antique shops. It is open from 11 am to 2 pm Tuesday through Saturday. All of the food is made in house. The soups were excellent, great sandwiches, bread and desserts. It is family owned. The service was delightful.“

“As always, the food here is great. But the employees make everything even better. I can’t tell you how many of them go out of their way to make going to Culver’s a good experience. I highly recommend going to this Culver’s. It’s evident the workers really care.“

“Had brunch today with my family of 5. First time visiting, as we live out of town. Everything was wonderful. It was very busy, which indicated a good sign for us as we walked in. We didn’t wait long to be seated, the food was great, and service as well. Will definitely come back if we are ever in the area again! I ordered the pork tenderloin sandwich, which my server recommended when I asked her opinion between a few things and I’m so glad she did because it was one of the best I’ve ever had!Kid-friendliness: My children felt very comfortable in the atmosphere!“

“Great to-go phone service.. I realized I had gotten the wrong kind of wings..believing it was my fault..it was quickly fixed by daytime bartender at approximately 1pm.. Very impressed with his way of handling the situation and getting me what I needed in a short time frame.. I wish I remembered his name but I am very appreciative..I even tipped him again!!Give the man a raise..he deserves it!! Very professional and KIND!!! Thank you.. I'll definitely be back...“

“The food and service were excellent. I've never had a bad experience at roadhouse. My only criticism this time was the music seemed unusually loud. We were there at the dinner rush so the loud music caused conversations to be loud. It was just noisy. But not a problem. Definitely not a deal breaker for a great steak and fall off the bone ribs.“

“We were promptly sat. Our server came andtook our drink orders. He was fantastic!! Our appetizer come out followed by our salads. At almost the perfect timing. The steak was cooked perfectly and the chicken tenders were excellent as always. Will definitely be going back“

“First time ate here. The food was amazing. I has John Wayne skillet. Freshly made and delicious. I took left overs home and ate at least 2 more meals outta it. I got the all meat John Wayne skillet and best I ever had.Place was so clean and new and had about 20 tables.Price was unbelievably reasonable with skillet and toast for under $10.“

“This was the first time my wife and I had eaten at MD’s Sport Bar &Grill. I had the tenderloin with house salad,my wife had the fish and fries . Both meals were cooked to our delight. I would give this place a five star on all levels!!“

“Food is consistently good. Always such a great experience with either Mallory or Mary as your servers. Two of the best servers in the Peoria area at any restaurant. Had Mallory today, she is always upbeat and so friendly, & attentive…and it’s with all her tables not just us. You leave with a smile because of her… she spreads happiness and joy and who doesn’t need that in this world!? Again the food is always good but the service with Mary or Mallory is the draw and that keeps us as regulars. Thanks ladies for keeping us coming back and smiling.“

“That's a great bar down in East Peoria. Friendly atmosphere they got games. They've got one pool table they've got shuffleboard and a dart game. But the staff and the owners there they're just so friendly what a great place to go and hang out“

“Went with a friend for few beers and some food. Loved it. Had a lot of history to it and owner even shared pictures with us. Loads of beer and drinks choice and our food was really good. It really had a local bar feel to it which I think is great“

“I love Corelife and their healthy approach to food and beverages alike. I like the teas and broths they offer. They offer a good variety of dishes from bowls to wraps to salads. Place was super clean and staff was very friendly. They even helped me use their app to get points for free food!“

“The food was very good but rhe crepes weren't rhe best but weren't the worst I've had.the service was pretty good and i appreciate the work.Vegetarian options: Couldn't find any vegetarian food options on the menu. But there isn't that much things that i would find on the menu.“

“This was our first time there and we ordered for carryout. We had drinks there while we waited. The waiter was busy but very polite and helpful. Answered all of our questions(and we had a lot☺️)The food was fantastic and the portions are huge.We ordered the Papa tenderloin(on special on Thursdays) and the fish dinner.We will definitely be back.“
