Literally nothing my companion or I had was more than passably edible, including the water. At first I thought it was flavored but quickly realized it tasted like cleaning solution. When we asked for new glasses of water, the owner came over and insisted there was nothing wrong with the water and was rather nasty about it. I mean, it's tap water, not like they lost money on it. The burger I ordered was more of a ball than a patty, and still dry throughout. The flavor was okay, but the meat/bread ratio was extreme one way and then the other due to the odd shape. My friend's steak was very fatty and overcooked. The side of a baked potato oddly had some"thing" green and leafy inside it, like they used a dirty knife to cut the potato. Difficult to believe they wouldn't have seen a 2-inch piece of vegetable(?) on the knife though. My friend asked for butter and received a pile of little cafeteria-type butter packets, most of them already open because of how oily they were. When the bill came, it had two extra charges on it; one for an additional tax that the waitress couldn't explain, and the other was a credit card processing fee. I understand this charge is becoming more common, but it was on the bill before they knew how we were paying (cash) and because the overall experience was so negative, my friend couldn't help but wonder if it would've been removed if we hadn't specifically asked about the additional fee. One star for the very pleasant waitress. Even she seemed taken aback at how snotty the owner got with us over the water, and seemed appropriately embarrassed over the nasty butter even though we didn't say anything about it. After the issue with the water, we just ate what we could and didn't bother complaining about what was easily the worst dining experience I've ever had in Pekin.

Was excited to try this place tonight. Very few people there and we thought it was due to the Marigold festival. Ordered the salmon and my date ordered the steak. My salmon smelled rotten the minute it was placed in front of me. Date's steak was tough and tasteless. Got the veggies plate to replace my spoiled salmon. The ranch was so watery it wouldn't stay on my veggies. Run don't walk from this place. Absolutely the worst. A waste of our hard earned money.

I'm not a person to leave a bad review but this place is terrible. This was the worst meal I've had in a restaurant. I've never had to salt and pepper a steak before. My wife's salmon was rotten. I mean spoiled rotten, it stunk so bad. The drinks were good but everything else sucked. Never going

They have been doing a lot of remodeling inside and out the place is definitely looking better than it did a year or so ago, have new ownership.
Excellent drinks and great food just before a movie.Vegetarian options: May add protein to a large selection of options.

I was excited to try this place, but was disappointed. Ordered a baked potato. It was about the size of my fist & rock hard in spots on the bottom. The bread pudding was tasty but dry. The bathroom was gross & had to walk through a dry prep area that smelled of rot to get there. The dining are looked clean & servers were very friendly but not likely to return.

I went to Yesterday's after seeing recommendations all over my Facebook feed. I started with the French onion soup, which had an interesting flavor but I liked it. Often times, French onion soup tastes too salty and this one was a little more bland, could've used some more onion but I would 100% order again. For my main course, I got the ribeye with a baked potato and asparagus. The ribeye had SOOOO much flavor, I loved it!!!! I actually think it was bigger than what I ordered but I was okay with that, leftovers! Asparagus was perfectly cooked as well, with just the right amount of flavor. Service-wise, our server was brand new so she had to go back to the kitchen several times to ask questions. It was not busy when we got there, so we didn't mind. I wish I still lived near town so I could try their "taste of" nights. I hear they are a big hit!
