10 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Peoria Heights

“absolutely amazing, pulled pork! So I stopped by the local Trefzger’s bakery, and I could smell the meat cooking from there, I went in for a sandwich, but decided to buy a pound of their pulled pork. So, I get pulled pork everywhere we go on vacation and otherwise, and I’m very picky! Let me tell you when I got this food home. This pulled pork is absolutely scrumptious! and the price was definitely reasonable! The guy that waited on me was super nice and does his job very well! Our family will definitely be back for more and we will spread the word to everyone because when you find a place like this, it’s good to let them know how good of a job they done and to tell people so they can enjoy the good food also! Super job everybody on a scale of 1 to 10 you get 100 thank you for the great foodParking: I parked on the northside and noticed most of the parking areas had signs on it for other businesses so I had to park on the street but I’m not sure there may be parking on the southside parking lot area but I just didn’t come in that way, wasn’t a big deal at all. It’s definitely worth it park wherever you have to even if it’s a block and a half away ha ha“

“BEST BBQ I’ve had in Illinois some of the best I’ve had in the country. Staff is super polite very nice and totally awesome. I think the guys name was Anthony? And I don’t know the girls name but she was great. Food, service all around atmosphere, 10 STARS!!!!“

“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.“

“Good food. The staff was great. Didn't catch their names, but they definitely help by giving us their favorite dishes since we had never been there. LOVE all the different pictures on the wall of those who have or are serving our country and or communities. Very interesting to look at them “

“I Just moved up to Pekin IL from Kansas City MO where BBQ is one of the biggest attractions. I have to say 4 Corners Smokehouse is nothing less than perfect. I work at Gallery Ford of pekin and I went from getting lunch everyday for my self to getting my entire dealership lunch EVERYDAY!!Kid-friendliness: I brought my son in to try the different meal at 4 Corner Smokehouse. He didn't know witch sauce to choose from and Henry let him try samples of all 4.Wheelchair accessibility: The lay out of the restaurant and the customer service makes a hot meal very fun and easy to try for anyone with a wheelchair or walker.“

“I’ve been in the Midwest for about 5 months now and I’ve been looking for any food comparable to the northeast. With Dac’s smokehouse in Morton I FINALLY FOUND IT! Cooked perfectly, tastes incredible. Order was promptly made and hostess delivered it to me with a warm smile and a great personality! Place was extremely busy and every one having a great time!Outdoor dining is available and it has on street and lot parking!If you enjoy good food and great vibes come check this spot out!“

“Went there last night for the first time. I tried the pizza bread and my mom tried the pizza bombs and they both came out a little burnt on the bottoms, but we didn’t say anything just ate around it and was still happy with the food! We paid and walked out and after getting almost block away one of the waitresses came running out and said she noticed the burnt pieces still on the plate, she asked if we wanted a reimbursement or some money off the next time we came. We opted for the money off next time and she wrote down our name! We really appreciated her noticing the pieces and giving us those two options as other places probably wouldn’t have said anything at all. Whether it came out burnt or not we definitely would have been back either way. It was really good and I can’t wait to try other things on the menu!“

“Haven't eaten at this long established restaurant inside Northwoods Mall since it was a set down restaurant with waitress/waiters to wait on you. The experience was much different then as it is now after the restaurant was reconfigured into a walk up, order and set down yourself style with plastic silverware, etc. They have a very large menu and have weathered the pandemic ordeal well it seems or they wouldn't have been able to expand and continue in business. I'm sure they have done what is prudent with what today's customer expects. I'm not a today's customer, but more old school. They continue to be quite popular in this market and that is very good, since I don't like seeing any business fail. Just isn't proper to want that to happen. As I've become older I find that BBQ doesn't appeal to me as it once did and even upsets the stomach. I continue to hope that this condition was short term, but afraid not. This being said I found the BBQ today no different. I found it strange that they piled the meat and sauce on the tray and not on the bun. You have to place the meat on the bun yourself. The fries were some of the best I've had in a long time. Home made and very good. I long for the old style restaurant, but I'm just old and times are changing and one has to change or go out of business.“

“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“
