“It was lunch. The food was better than okay, but it wasn't super great. Same with the service. Waitress was polite but didn't come around as often as needed. The restaurant itself seemed tired. Usually it's very upbeat and happy. Nonetheless I would return. The pricing for the lunch specials were a welcome surprise and unexpected. Great for large groups if you call ahead!“
“Had the AYCE wings and shrimp. Found it rather rude that the waitress had to sternly tell us that there is no sharing and no take out. A: that is pretty standard practice B: we both ordered AYCE so why would we share? The food was good, waitress was okay with refilling drinks, the AYCE program could use some work with the service. Why do you need to know what my refill choice is when ordering the first entree? Restaurant was clean but outdated.“
“Great food! Awesome little restaurant bar in Peru, IL....nestled near the Illinois river and right by the train tracks! Margaritas were $10 Wednesday night! AND....they were sooo good!!!! I had coconut shrimp. Very good.Always great specials. Wonderful attentive staff! Can't beat this place!!!“
“Best bar I have ever been in! Very laid back atmosphere, engaging and friendly people, with a bartender that is equally friendly, welcoming and hilarious to boot. Makes you feel like you had been coming there and are known for 30 years! Very fun place! Definitely making the 80 mile hike again to come back soon!“
“The food is 5 stars. The service is 5 stars. The ambiance with a cool sports bar vibe is 5 stars. My wife and I dined in at the bar on a Monday afternoon. The bartender provided good service! I ordered a cheeseburger with pepper jack cheese with fries. My wife ordered a cheeseburger with American cheese and fries. My wife had a sprite to drink and I had a water. The soda is 1 dollar!! Both our burgers were fantastic, tasty, and juicy! The burgers are 1/2 lb burgers! The frozen fries here are awesome ! We loved our lunch and we will be back!“
“I just walked in and the bartender is cute and ask me what I needed sweetie. I like a girl that calls me sweetie. The place is small but comfortable. Seems like a Kool little hangout if your looking to talk to a pretty girl and not be looked at with disgust. Like most bars. Can just hang and have a beer. They don't hit you like a bunch of jackels looking for fresh meat. Like some clubs I've been too.“
“Rips Chicken offers the best chicken around. The crispy skin and perfectly cooked interior make each bite a delight. Served on a simple paper plate atop a slice of bread with homemade fries—though fry freshness varies—the chicken is consistently piping hot. Be ready for a wait; it's undoubtedly worth it. Remember to bring cash, as cards aren't accepted.“
“What a pleasant surprise! From the outside it has the look of a dive bar. Inside it is recently decorated and extremely clean! Owners are super friendly and attentive. The food is standard bar fare but really good. I opted for the tenderloin sandwich and my better half opted for the build-your-own burger. We will definitely come back!“
