“My husband and I consider 2 Chez our favorite restaurant in Peoria! We have been several times and we always have a wonderful experience from start to finish. The bartenders are on top of things and very helpful with making recommendations and substitutions to ensure we love our drinks, the chefs are always willing to make things with small changes if needed, and the owner is often walking around talking to customers. Very cool vibes and atmosphere, feels upscale and fun while being reasonably priced for the experience you get. 10/10 recommend 2 Chez!!“

“My recent dining experience here was absolutely exceptional, earning a rare 11/10 rating from me, and I couldn’t recommend it enough for anyone looking to enjoy a fantastic meal. The standout for me was undoubtedly the Philly cheese steak, which was amazing in every bite. It’s clear that a lot of care and quality ingredients go into their food, as everything we ordered was delicious and tasted incredibly fresh.Not only was the food outstanding, but the service we received from our server Nikki added to the overall delightful experience. She was super sweet, attentive, and made sure our dining experience was nothing short of perfect.Another highlight of our meal was the fries, which were simply out of this world. Accompanied by the homemade dipping sauces, particularly for the chicken fingers, the flavors were over the top and left a lasting impression.I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a good bite to eat. The quality of food, coupled with the excellent service, makes for a dining experience that’s hard to beat. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, make sure to give this place a try. You won’t regret it! PROTIP: extra parking on the west side of the building and you can enter through the carryout door.“

“Such a neat place - Loved that this beautiful building has been re-purposed in such a perfect way. Enjoyed reading the history and the front of the menu too.Beer was really good and service too. Ordered the Jager Schnitzel, and it wasn't bad, but not very authentic, The pork was nice and crispy , but breaded with panko which I normally don't see on this dish - also the Jager sauce tasted more like a country white gravy with mushrooms. Came on a bed of mashed potatoes with spaetzle on the side. It just seemed like a very "beige" plate that could have been livened up with a vegetable or a little mustard in the Jager sauce.The menu looked good overall though and the atmosphere MORE than made up for the shortcoming from the meal. I would definitely return to try other items from the menu and sample more beers in this super cool venue.“

“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."“

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.“

Cod Dinner Plate

“Omg don’t know where to start. My first time going to this Culver’s was yesterday night my order was messed up and with no hesitation they made me another one well by time I pulled off and started eating I seen my replacement was also messed up NO BIGGIE because I 100% understood the new workers on that shift were trying their hardest and why would I make a big deal of it. I couldn’t resolve the issue then and there because by that time they were closed already but the staff was so nice on that shift you couldn’t help be be patient lol. Anyway I basically ended up going back today and when I tell you the CUSTOMER SERVICE WAS A 1 I am not over exaggerating. I am overwhelmed by the love and Correction they had and did for my order they almost made me cry. No one was rude about it they made sure it was correct and that I didn’t feel bad about bringing my incorrect order from yesterday. Not only that but I was given 2 free meal coupons on top of my corrected order it was so hot fresh and delicious and was so perfect for my cravings ‼️ I live about 20 minuets away from this location but I promise you I will never go to another culver I will drive to this location EVERY SINGLE TIME I love how they made me feel appreciated and valued as a customer I’ve never had customer service and fresh food this perfect ‼️ thank you manager Jessica and your crew for valuing not only my time but me as a customer service ‼️“

“Do not care for the parking situation. You must park across the street then hike over and around to the only accessible break in a fenced barrier across pavement, brick and rail road rails, then you can finally address crossing the street. Once inside I was met by a very nice matradee who asked if I had a reservation. No I said, just a seat at the bar. She told me to go right in. I did, grabbed a seat and waited a short time to order what turned out to be a very tasty wheat beer. 2/3rds of way through my second beer I was contemplating having another when I was swarmed on both sides by adult Bradley University persons. Being squeezed and boxed in, very rude, I left. Service was good, my beer glass was clean and nicely chilled. Then there's the hike back to my vehicle.“

“The staff at this Culver's was superb. We were there on a Sunday night an hour before they closed. We were a fairly large group of about 17 people. They were friendly and respectful. Even kept the ice cream machine up and going until just a few minutes before closing so the kids could all get their ice cream. I've never had a reason to complain about Culver's food and this was no exception. Hot fresh and correct. It is great that with all those orders they got everything exactly like we ordered it. Thanks to the employees for caring enough about your job to pay attention. Great place. Don't judge all Culver's the same. This one is outstanding.“

Do not pass on the fries for your side! Service is always excellent, but I could do without the weird lighting and TVs everywhere. Not a problem when it's warm enough to eat outside. And unlike some places, the wait staff doesn't forget you're out there!“
