Restaurants in Peru

“Visited for the first time this week! Absolutely loved the dishes we had! You could taste the freshness of all the veggies and the combinations were unique and delicious! Will visit again when in the area!”

“This place has a great atmosphere, delicious food, super friendly staff, and top tier service! 10/10 would definitely recommend!”

“Best homemade sandwiches in town. Fast service, great staff.”

“Amazing service with friendly staff! The atmosphere is very nice as it’s not super quieter or super loud. Great selection of alcoholic beverages and the food is absolutely fantastic! Keep up the amazing work! :)”

“random stop after appt at hospital. food was good. 1 blt club onion rings 2 Ruben with fries. 3 French toast and berries All good. But the desserts. best have had in years!😋”

“Wonderful 5 stars ! The best Mexican restaurant I have visited!”

“Wife and I went on a Wednesday night since we had a rare night with no kids at the last minute. I’d heard good things around town and now I know why. It hit all the right notes. Contemporary style, welcoming and knowledgeable staff and excellent food. 612 Bowie Pasta for me, Caprese Salad with Chicken for the wife and Bruschetta as an appetizer. We should’ve had leftovers with the generous portions, but it was just too good to stop eating! Highly recommended!”

“Amazing service and amazing food!”

“"You can't go wrong with the special" wise quote from my grandparent. It's served... Me well over the years. This place has great lunch and dinner specials as well as drink specials. They offer a full bar, plenty of variety on the menu and friendly service. Convenient location. Plenty of parking. Good prices.”

“Always great service and food!”

“Great, old school diner. Places like this are why we moved out of the city. The food was good and the people there are very nice. Will be going back again, hopefully for years to come. ☺”

“I have been to Wahlburgers twice now and both times the food was EXCELLENT. Today, however, takes the cake. When I arrived and looked for what I wanted on the menu it wasn't there. I spoke with Ben behind the counter and he told me that specific item had been removed from the menu. I was visibly disappointed so he told me he would make it up for me! He said he may not have the exact dressing but he could pull something together. I was so excited and incredibly thankful because he did NOT have to do that. He went above and beyond and I thanked him again and again. The food was fresh, everything tasted delicious and I will definitely go back again!

Vegetarian options: My salad was a street corn salad. It included romaine lettuce, chopped up red and green pepper, parmesan cheese and shredded cheddar cheese with a delicious dressing.”

“OMG best freaking walleye ever”

“Dont know what happened tonight. Ordered an old drink thats not on the menu but ive always got it, even thru last month. Ordered another drink and waited over 30 min. Sent mushrooms back because they were burnt, literally stuck to the dish. Heard kitchen staff holler "for real" lol. Ended up walking out after 40 minutes still no drinks. Biscuits finally came out after 25min. Manager and kitchen staff need some retraining. She didnt even come talk to us. Normally great. idk what they were doin tonight. BTW there was maybe 3 other tables. Hopefully management and kitchen staff get it together.”

“Great food the people that are working there that run the place are fabulous and I have never been disappointed in a meal”

“Was my first time stopping in today for lunch, and the food and service was amazing! Even when they were very busy everybody was kind and quick. I had the BLT and pistachio muffin, and an iced coffee, it was super good!”

“thank you very to the ladies that we’re working last night my wife and I showed up literally at closing because she wanted to try the labor drink that she seen on TikTok the ladies that were working, never heard of the drink, but even though they were about to close, they looked at all the ingredients in the drink and made it for her. Happy to say earlier today we had the baby don’t know if that had anything to do with the drink, but I could honestly say that is great customer service”

“Best Prime Rib in the Illinois Valley! Dare I say the best prime rib I’ve ever had? Highly recommend, but definitely make a reservation.”

“The girl with the blond and black hair with a septum piercing deserves a raise because she overheard me talking about my lost glasses and swiftly delivered them to my to my table. Give her a raise.”

“Great time for a short trip or a long trip, very friendly”

“Been going here for many years, old school pizza place in a residential area. Great pizza at a low price”

“Mya always takes good care of us! And that boy Carter makes the best pizza! Always consistent”

“Best place we stayed between Chicago and Grafton, IL! We were stuck at Starved Rock lock for around 5 hours. We didn't get through until after dark (9:30-ish). I called and amazingly enough a guy named Chuck answered the phone! He said our boat was a little big for anything they had available but he could put us at their fuel dock for the night. He waited until we got there around 11pm, helped us get tied up then invited us to the bar for drinks and even opened the kitchen and made us supper! Seriously the best place we stayed. Fun, clean, not pretentious, extremely accommodating, and super reasonable prices! Thank you South Shore Boat Club - and Chuck - for your help and amazing hospitality!!”

“I stopped in there for the first time yesterday. Starbucks has always been my go to for coffee. I ordered my normal, a mocha. It was made quickly, the staff was very nice and friendly, and the mocha one of the best I’ve ever had! This will be my new coffee place when I am in Peru!”

“The cupcakes were amazing and she was professional in every way. Thank you!!”

“This pizza was top notch and delivery was fast. Definitely recommend to anyone”

“please you have to get to maples and have their delicious food waitress are super nice very clean inside food is outstanding my wife and I love their food”

“I normally love Culvers. It is the only fast food I eat. Today it was horrible. Fries were not fried properly. They were a gooey mess. My burger was not cooked in the middle. Threw it out and their food is not inexpensive. Waste of money and I'm still hungry. I will go back and if it isn't back to normal that will be my last time. Too bad. We have had a good relationship for many years.”

“It has a nice outdoor patio, our waitress was really nice and the food was very good.”

“Lizzy was such an amazing bartender/ server! What an awesome time my first time eating here, the food was so good 😊”

“Excellent gyro sandwich! Friendly service! 5 stars🤩”

“Nice folks. Green tea soy latte with SF caramel ! Yummy. Great for the ride home!”

“We all know jimmy John’s has great sandwiches but this location has the best employees as well! Our car broke down in the parking lot and they were more than accommodating, even to the point of offering assistance to help us get back on the road. 10/5 stars!!!! When you get the chance stop in to see Steve, Eric and Ian!!!”

“I was pleasantly surprised. The service was exceptional and the food ,I had chicken and a waffle. So artfully plated. I almost forgot I was at a chain restaurant. I'll be back!”

“We had Maria’s Pizza food truck for a private party a few weeks ago and I cannot recommend them enough. They were on-time, professional, and the food and service were amazing! Communication was top notch from start to finish and we received so many compliments from everyone at the party. Thank you so much! Highly recommend!”

“I only turned around in their parking lot. But let me tell you, it was quite the parking lot. The drive thru was so packed as well as the parking lot I foolishly decided to turn around in, I nearly had no choice but to park and enjoy a triple shot espresso venti probably some vanilla and caramel and more espresso coffee drink. Alas, I played chicken with a rambunctious car full of younger ladies surely looking to get their mocha joka venti caffeine fix on.... Not to be deterred... I won the footloose challenge and continued on to the Mental health facility down the road...”

“The server was great! We had a party of 13. She was amazing. The food was okay. The nuggets and fried pickles were good. I wasnt a fan of the chicken fajita pizza.”

“The establishment is satisfactory, however, they inadvertently neglected to provide me with an item. Consequently, I was compelled to return to retrieve it. Notwithstanding this oversight, the quality of the food is commendable.”

“This specific restaurant has stellar customer service. The manager of this establishment, a Ms. Victoria, went the extra mile to provide this consumer a satisfying experience. A welcoming attitude, good atmosphere, and very polite. Another Jersey Mike establishment in Bloomington, IL had failed to deliver a sandwich, even after receiving payment. But the manager at this location offered and proceeded to kindly replace the sandwich after hearing of this unfortunate incident, making up for the other locations' failure to deliver. This Peru location had no obligation to make up for another establishments' shortcoming, but these wonderful employees did. And that is going above and beyond. High praise and 10/10 stars. Knowing customer satisfaction is prioritized at this Peru, Illinois establishment, I endeavor to make it a place I frequent for a tasty and reliable sub.”

“The buffet is ALWAYS good but the food is even better when prepared fresh off the menu. So, if you want the buffet, go during mealtimes so you know that the food is fresh.”
