American Restaurants near North Pekin

“Did was burnt and cold. Had black stuff floating in my hot water. Paid $3.50 for a cup of hot tea. Only got one cup cause waitress never came back and checked on us. There was only 4 other customers in restaurant. She stood by another table talking to them the whole time . Plus she was on her phone. Then when I paid the cook came out and asked how the food was. So I told him and her. The blamed it on the cook that was there on shift before. Neither one could take responsibility for their mistakes. This was just before midnight 4/17/24. It took us over 40 minutes to even get our food.“

“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!“

“Hands down the best lunch in Peoria for the price and food quality. It is amazing and the cost is not much more than a fast food combo. Try the shrimp and grits or the brisket sandwich. They even have a gluten free crustless quiche and salad combo.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“This place was amazing!!! I had the Parmesan Truffle Fries, Their award winning Mac and Cheese and Patty Melt. First off the Patty Melt was delicious ?. The bread was nice and soft. The burger was cooked to perfection and cheese was melted and tasty. It came with a delicious Thousand Island Sauce. 10/10 2nd the Mac and Cheese. I see why it is Award Winning. It was truly perfect. It was flavorful, Ooey Gooey, cheesey. It had little pieces of bacon in it that was divine. The bread crumbs on top were tasty and toasted to perfection. 10/10 best Mac and Cheese I've ever had, and I've had a lot!! Last but not least the Parmesan Truffle Fries. The Parmesan on the fries were jus a little to salty but still overall great fries. I didn't taste any truffle at all. It came with a Garlic Aioli sauce,. which was bad in my opinion. I couldn't taste any garlic and it had a little sour taste to eat. Fries 8/10 Garlic sauce 2/10. Shout out to the Chefs/Cooks in the back, they did amazing. The presentation was beautiful. Every thing that came out of that kitchen looked Amazing. Shout out to my Waitress Natalie she was awesome and very nice. Publik House 9.5/10 Sauce Game 7/10. Portion game 10/10 there was enough food to feed 3 people. Price game 10/10. Especially for the amount of food you get. They are 1 of my top 2 best restaurants I've been to.“

“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 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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“We’ve driven by this restaurant a few times and finally had a chance to stop in for a Sunday breakfast/lunch. Absolutely LOVED it. We had a Jr Tenderloin, salad bar, and an Omelette. The portions were huge. The food was quick. Tasty is an understatement- Scrumptulicious would be the way to describe it if that were an actual word. For this cafe it should be. Friendly staff. Good atmosphere. Very glad we stopped in and will definitely be back!! Very affordable as well. Well done Missy's Corner Cafe team. You guys nailed it!“

“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.“

“My wife and I have been going to all 3 local locations of Childers Eatery in the Peoria area for many years. The food is just as good today as it was when we first step foot in the Knoxville restaurant some 20+ years ago.The place is always clean and the food is comes out Perry quick. Great place to eat.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Had grilled catfish and shrimp jook box. Owner may balk at grilling the catfish cuz it can fall apart on the grill, but insist on it. It was out of this world. Seasoning was Cajun style but not blackened, just great bit of heat. Shrimp cooked just right, rice excellent too. Really enjoyed it.Hard to find though, winter entrance is back corner of building facing both Walmart and Landmark, 4 glass doors labelled "Premier Event Center."“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Was really good but for one person that gets a double cheeseburger a fry an a small drink to cost 17$ is just crazy as well as the fry was literally the smallest fry ever. I won't be going back. Sorry but straight ridiculous then to leave a tip na it was a one time occasion.“

“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.“

“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 have been to Kelleher's on many St Patrick's Days, but I had never enjoyed a meal. The Rueben was delicious. The corned beef was so tender. The buffalo wings had the perfect flavor. I believe the sweet potato fries were the best I have ever had. The service was amazing, and we look forward to returning.“

“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!“

“I Enjoy the park but I'd like to travel and see some other thing's very soon being in East Peoria living is getting boring I am intelligent smart and wise and caple of many things so I believe it's time for me to go to the East Coast somewhere like WASHINGTON D.C.“

“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.“

“Food is amazing. Their ranch is home made and everything tastes better drenched in it! Their bone-in oven seared wings. ? Also have the best bread sticks in town. Service is decent. Leah is the greatest waitress there, hands down! Atmosphere is chill and laid back. Doesn't matter what day of the week you go, you will always run into someone you know there.“

“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.“

“One of my favorite airports, simply because it's so easy! Parking is free, security is fast, people are friendly and there are only a few gates. You can literally arrive 30 minutes before your plane takes off and still make your flight. What's not to love?“

“Went with some friends on Wednesday night for Wing Night and was not disappointed. Ordered 10 mild wings that were crispy and had heat, but not much, and that's how I like em. Drinks were competitively priced, and the bar tender was super friendly. Great place with good atmosphere. Will be back this weekend to the band.“

“The Wednesday special of 20 wings for 13 is amazing. Can get bone in or out.. Will even bread them either way (if wanted).Their house dressing (don't know flavor) is my favorite. Don't normally eat salad but do eat theirs..Always get served by same person and she is best part of going there.Have had their large ravioli and it is one of the best Italian meals in Peoria area. The lasagna was one of my GF favorites.They also have fountain diet mountain dew. Which is only soda I want..Price is little more than Avantis but the servings are much bigger (besides the all you can eat).My favorite Italian restaurant in Peoria area. Been there a dozen times and will be back a dozens more!!Parking: Been there when they are packed and still had a few spots available.“

“Stopped in for a quick bite but got so much more! Morgan greeted us and was extremely friendly and efficient. She was preparing the buffet which had great selection in between helping everyone. Great portion size! I had the chicken rancher and could only eat 1/2. Wish I had saved room for dessert the cake looked decadent. Breakfast served all day which is always a plus.“

“We ate house burgers for the $9.99 lunch special. They came with homemade chips and a drink. Fries were an extra $2.50. The beef for the burgers are from Pottstown and ground in the restaurant. They have gluten free options. They have coke productsThere are lots of tv's with games on them. They have a gaming area for gambling,We enjoyed our food.“

“Best wing spot in the city. They always get the perfect fry (IMO hard/crispy and still juicy inside) that stands up to to sauces and doesn't get soggy. They have the most sauce and flavoring options available in the area. All that I've tried have been really good. They have classic flavors like mild, garlic parm, lemon pepper and they have really creative combos like jun jun and vaya pickle ranch. They fry a good fish too. Call in orders can be busy sometimes and may take a few tries. Pop in to order if you're in area, they're pretty quick.“

“Humble barr been there twice good place for a release locals were friendly as well so over all was nice size was small but more to say than most two pool tables couple gamble games for the most up been of a night wild adventures wouldnt be the best ideas but all and all was a nice place clean humble place to say for the most part“
