“Took our hungry wrestler here after a tournament and it was delicious! We had the lo mein, beef and broccoli and the spicy beef noodle soup.

“Everything is delicious & definitely the best ice cream / food parlor in Pekin. My only complaint is there is always a line & I feel that should have 1 girl/boy taking the orders & other staff preparing the orders. Service is slow cuz a person takes ur order & leaves to prepare…just holding up the line & time.some rude staff but know Mgr does her very best”

“I had the bourbon street burger and my husband had the ribeye withe garlic mashed potatoes. The food was good but the service was even better. Our waitress Hailey was very attentive, always checking to make sure our drinks were full and ect. I would definitely return and hope that she would be our waitress again. Keep up the good service Hailey.”

“Was a nice place. Was there for a concert.. I have to say the best part was the security. I actually was able to just enjoy the concert and not worry about any drama. Bartenders where fast at getting drinks out too.”

“Had our reunion here and it was wonderful! The staff was helpful, the food was good, and the prices were very reasonable. Definitely recommend it”

“Many of us locals have been supporting this business for a long time now and I believe the appreciation by the owner/s shows that with the low prices and superior food selection and quality all the way around. I especially like the vast variety of food choices and the hand dip ice cream station instead of the usual soft-serve that most places have. They were really thinking out of the box. Today I took my friend, Darryl out to eat at this Chinese buffet. He had never eaten such food and I figured it was time for him to escape from his comfort zone. He was very impressed and sure didn't step away from the table hungry. By the way the cherry on the cake was that they serve Mountain Dew. That is a must for Darryl wherever he dines. I had hot tea. Get on out and see for yourselves and spread the word.”

“Took a friend of mine that I haven't seen in a couple years to MacDuffs, I used to frequent McCritters, and told him, same owners, people, I kinda knew that on Sundays no food is served. So I called, she said just Pizza's. Good enough. I knew I wouldn't see my regular waitress etc. Lo and behold I walk in and there's Dee, a bartender that worked at Mccritters!! My friend LOVED the pizza! What food that was at McCritters, is at MacDuffs. I knew that, but not my friend. So good seeing Dee again, atmosphere was excellent, food, clean bar, went out on the patio, so nice!!”

“Lunch today was great! I’m on a restricted diet and they were very accommodating to meet my dietary needs. They have the best smashburgers! The food was delicious and service was excellent!”

“We have been going since they opened and it continues to be the #1 choice. The food and drinks are delicious and reasonably priced, the service is very fast even on a Friday or Saturday night and the staff are always so welcoming and friendly. Never once have we been disapointed by the food or the service. We love La Fiesta Pekin!”

“Small town bar with pool tables and gambling machines. Very nice people. Not always super busy but has its moments. The employees are great and really nice. It's one of my favorite places to go when I need a little me time. It's the only bar I know of now days that sell lottery tickets. My grandparents bar and grill sold lottery tickets when I was growing up. So it reminds me of home. Thanks potties for being here”

“One of my favorite watering holes in town. Great atmosphere, awesome mix of people of all ages and nationalities. Great mixed drinks. Also the owners do a whole lot for the community. Highly recommend this place if you are looking for a trouble/drama free evening. Google is asking about the food for some reason. This is a bar. No food. Just frozen pizza and some chips.

Wheelchair accessibility: Just roll right in!”

“Been eating at cobbler corner for years sorry to see Mike has passed Sophie and the kids will carry-on great food great people great price”

“Rolled up a little late after picking up some family from a delayed flight, and just so sweet and accommodating. The best food. And stayed open just to feed us. The best!”

“We went for the first time to Yesterdays. The service was great and food was amazing. Definitely will be going back.”

“There is one worker there that keeps us coming back , his name is Danny. He is always super welcoming and friendly, and makes super delicious sandwiches. He has great work attitude. That man deserves a raise for all his hard work. Thank God there are still decent workers out there.”

“They have the best chicken in Pekin and the surrounding areas that we've tried. Love that they have delivery as a option. We use Door Dash with no problems. Will order again.”

“Very nice video gaming locations. Clean, friendly staff, very respectful. Good clean fun!”

“My goto watering hole.. only bar in town that caters to the midnight crews who are looking for a brew or 2 after work. "Indoor" beer garden let's ya smoke a cig in the dead of winter & still stay warm. Cold beer still has ice chunks hanging on em. Pool table in the back to help pass time... I love this place & the bartenders who work there are a blast.”

“I have never really had bad food here. Service has been good for the most part as well. Biggest complaint would be we received boneless wings that were smaller than McDonalds chicken nuggets. Pizza Hut has better wings.”

“mushroom Swiss is delicious”

“Always great people, found some new drinks I like, thanks to the bartenders.”

“I’ve lived out of Illinois for about eight years now and stopped in for lunch today(Pekin). I ordered my usual favorite pizza burger. It was just as good as I remembered! The place hasn’t changed a bit. Everyone else’s food was just as good as always and the restaurant was clean and well kept for its age. Prices are still reasonable. I will return the next time I make it back to Pekin, IL.”
