Restaurants in East Peoria

“Everything about this place was phenomenal. I am not from this area and came here because of the good reviews. They were not kidding!
Fresh squeezed orange juice: check. Fluffy (not gluey) biscuits and gravy: check. I'm going to run out of room here, so just believe me when I say everything was amazing. And if you are a coffee drinker, don't skip it! Thank you to Leah who was attentive and sweet! *And no, this is not a paid ad, I just really liked it here! *”

“Our first time in and it was great!! I was in a breakfast mood so I got the lumberjack breakfast : cinnamon roll French toast, 2 eggs over medium, hash browns, sausage and bacon! we also tried the biscuits and gravy which were great and the biscuits were really fluffy! He got the bacon cheeseburger with fries and we also had a chicken quesadilla for an appetizer! Generous portions, food came out promptly and everyone was really nice! We can't wait to go back!”

“Burnt ends and yams were delicious. Corn bread was dried out and tasted burnt.”

“We ordered online last night. Our order was ready for pick up on time, the food was hot and delicious! This is a great option for those concerned about wait times to be seated, etc. Thanks so much, Dac's!! We will definitely be ordering again!!”

“Came in tonight after a concert. Great time with Ro our Bartender who made us a late night pizza after the kitchen closed. Great service and will be back! Great pizza and cold beer!”

“Their offerings redefines taco expectations. Most places offer nondescript and predictable simple tacos. These are unique blends of flavors and generous portions. It’s a 15 mile trip for our family but one we happily make. It’s a destination until itself. I highly recommend it!”

“Have you been looking for a great burger and fries? Look no further. Best I’ve ever had!”

“Hot food cold salad bar and great service and may seats have TVs”

“Food was yummy! Didn't leave a morsel! Service gal was very caring and prompt. What a pleasant experience on a chilly blustery day!”

“Was recently at the Oyster Bar to celebrate my moving OUT of Illinois to the gulf coast of Mississippi. Service was great. Food was great. It was rather warm inside the bar. We were fanning ourselves and it wasn’t hot that day. Temp was only 84 outside. Oysters and drinks were fantastic. Felt the ceviche could have used a little less jalapeño peppers. They overpowered the other ingredients and that was all we tasted. Still had a great time!! My bill was money well spent!!”

“Came for breakfast the other day for the first time and had a wonderful experience. Our server Helena was very helpful, she was energetic and had a personable attitude. I enjoyed the skillet and will definitely be back!”

“I no longer even live in Illinois. But I always make it a point to go to a Michael's and get some subs, garlic bread, and some of their amazing cinnamon bread. You just don't find the bread density and sweetness anywhere else. That combined with pretty decent ingredients. Makes for something that I always seek every single time I make my way into Illinois again. Good deals and decent prices also definitely help. Everybody also loves their bucket of spaghetti which always comes out great and is always a good staple whenever we order the family feasts”

“Friendliness of staff. Also very helpful to a lady with a cane because of a hip replacement. But….your doors are very heavy and awkward for someone in my condition!!!”

“Not only is their food amazing and fast. The staff is amazing. We went today (me my husband and youngest son) after my son had a procedure to get tubes in. They where super genuine about how he was doing. The gentleman who works there (I didn’t catch his name) was such a sweetheart. He came up to talk to us and ask about my son. He also gave him a stuffie. Which made my son smile for the first time after his procedure. THANK YOU FOR THAT! The little gesture was greatly appreciated!”

“Absolutely some of the best fried chicken in the area. Either side of the river. The wait staff is great as is the salad bar.”

“From seeing all of the negative reviews it took me a long time to purchase a cookie. And my review is the ones that I have tried have been delicious and the size is well worth the money. I will be coming back again.”

“Best place around the area for food and ice cream everyone is so kind and nice”

“One of the best Mexican restaurants in the area. I've been there many times.”

“This is a great place to buy in larger quantities than normal grocery stores. They have some really super deals, you just have to browse. The quality of their meat is excellent and they have a huge variety. When you’re finished with shopping, you can eat there really cheap but good! Sometimes they have food samples to try also. The yearly cost is worth it!”

“Need better Management that doesn't drink or do drugs. I wouldn't recommend going in there with family or children or ordering anything off the menu.The day shift kitchen staff isn't good as they claim.The service is very slow and the food isn't all that great neither.There management isn't very friendly and unpleasant and racist as well.”

“Very good boba drinks and fast service”

“My 8 year old son wanted pizza and ice-cream so we visited Hucks establishment. The service with the lady in the kitchen was one of a kind. She was patient and willing. She didn't have an attitude and she helped us get what we wanted. As the pizza was approaching to be ready, the lady in the kitchen found me over the counter to ask which pizza I wanted and how I wanted it presented. With an awesome smile, she handed us our pizza and we went on our way to get ice-cream and leave. The attendant at the counter was also helpful with checking us out. We had a great experience. Thank you.”

“This was my first time here but it will not be my last. The crab legs, shrimp are all cooked in a bag filled with herbs and spices leaving you with a delightful meal full of flavor. We had very attentive service, the restaurant was clean, observed COVID safety precautions, and the food was delicious.”

“All I want & love is the fish & chicken. Good clean place - your standard long John silvers. The staff were friendly & helpful. Will definitely visit again when in the area.”

“We decided to eat here on our anniversary. I enjoyed the chicken fajita and my husband liked his beef chimchanga also. It had music playing in the background and made for a relaxing lunch♡”

“It’s been years since I’ve been here and it’s still a cute place to dine for lunch. I love the atmosphere! Monica gives great service and has wonderful lunch options.”

“Love me a wonder dog. Everything on the menu is good”

“Literally just left there & When I Tell Y’all Hailey In The Drive Through Did So Well That I’m Typing This And Haven’t Even Made It Home Yet ! I was a bit difficult I know because I do not eat here at all so I had so many questions and was changing my order etc ( not purposely being annoying ) but I just wasn’t sure , even tho they were busy not once did she get frustrated with me she was so nice and sweet about it and answered all my questions , even getting to the window she greeted me with the most beautiful smile and welcoming vibe I felt so valued as a customer because of her and my food is hot fresh and amazing for ! This was an excellent 1st experience for me and I don’t even live this way but I will drive 20 minuets just to come eat here again because of her service !! She’s so amazing I’m young myself & it’s hard finding people who genuinely care and it’s makes the company look so nice 🫶🏿”

“This is now one of our favorite places to visit. We have tried several things on the menu & everything was fresh & delicious. The staff is always friendly.”

“I was very impressed!!! I really enjoyed the privacy curtains. The food was very good cooked perfectly! the service was perfect as well very polite and checked in frequently to be sure everything was good and we had everything we needed. I will be back and recommend to all my friends! If I had 1 complaint I guess I'd say the prices but in reality you get what you pay for all around here. It's worth it to me! I do not recommend this as a restaurant for kids. ☆☆☆☆☆”

“some of the nicest ppl go here”

“friendly bar and fun people”

“Sarah was an absolute sweetheart! I'll definitely be back to see her 💚”

“no, no, no. N. O. NO no, no, please God no just look at all of the fake reviews that are all talking about whatever forex is! obviously don't eat here, if they have to pay for tons of fake reviews to flood their reviews page then they are probably trying to hide the real reviews... and I would have to say a hard no to whatever forex is that the fake reviews are plugging... the owner was a sloppy drunk at the barge and she treated her employees horribly, very unprofessional, it's been a long time since I went there but it use to flood and she would stay open, no power but the gas still worked so even with inches of water throughout the place she kept on cracking that whip at her staff to keep the burgers coming”

“We went at about 7PM on a Monday (CAT employees get a free drink with their meal on Mondays if they show their ID). The service was very personable and professional and the sandwiches were very good. I’m not typically a fan of hot subs but I loved these! I think it was a little overpriced but the free drink balanced it out.”

“Incredible pizza. Never had anything like it. Ordered it to go.”

“ROC has incredible ice cream/ atmosphere. Not to mention fresh new turf on the put course - highly recommend!!!”

“Service was very fast even tho they were slammed my hostess Laura was extremely nice my waiter who I didn’t catch her name had my food and order taking in 15 minutes”

“The best tacos in East Peoria.”

“I had tried the Italian beef sandwich it's was amazing.

Parking: Parking lot is very big

Kid-friendliness: It is a bar if it is also family-oriented.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes there is wheelchair access”

“Went to a local tavern for some drinks and slots. I found brotherhood in camaraderie that beats all. It really struck me when one of the regulars it had a little too much so they had one of the other regulars give him a ride home. They really look out for each other there. It was extremely uplifting to know that people still care about each other. I arrive a little too late for food but the drinks were great and 3 machines hit heavy. As far as my holiday weekend a celebration occurred.

thank you to the owners for such Open arms to a new patron in a special thanks to the bartender for making sure people got home safely!!”

“They have the BEST food and always have generous portions. Our daughter LOVES the hamburgers and my son always gets a hot dog. The gyros are PERFECT and if you want to get one of the best things on the menu then you want to get a Philly Cheese Steak sandwich. I tried a bite of my husband's last night and about melted in my chair. The best Philly I have ever had! The staff are extremely friendly too! We have never had a bad experience. Super Gyros is really a hidden gem in the East Peoria area! It's become one of our favorite places. The food is delicious, the prices are reasonable, and you always leave FULL! 😁”

“Best Chinese food around. Family run business that works hard to put out a great product. Always hot and always good! Garlic chicken is awesome...but I get garlic breath for days! Lol. Worth it!”

“We love coming here. Great service, really good food, and friendly staff. Their burgers and fries are way better than McDonald's and Burger King. So are the chili cheese fries.”

“Great food, delivered by great people. Always an enjoyable experience.”

“Shout out to Mike for helping us find my daughters AirPods. We called to report them being left behind or possibly falling out in the parking lot. When we arrived back at the restaurant this man was walking around the parking lot with a flashlight looking under cars & advised he checked with staff & at our table. Thankfully the AirPods were found (in my purse 🤦🏼‍♀️) but this man went above & beyond to ensure they were appropriately searched for when he could have just said “we’ll let you know if they come up” and left it at that. We are so grateful for this service! Also our food was great & our waitress was awesome!”

“We had a wonderful stay. The first day was incredible we ate at their restaurant I had the steak and everyone else their pizza food was super delicious. Steak was phenomenal. The next day my family and our friends decided to have some Japanese food at a restaurant nearby. I ended up having an emergency situation where I was in active anaphylaxis I begged my husband to just take me to the hotel which was right across the street. We came in the door asked if they had Benadryl and they asked if we needed an ambulance (husband said yes as I was saying no I’m fine, I wasn’t clearly fine at all) Everyone acted fast and got me Benadryl, water and kept my little one occupied while everything was going on. All this happened literally with in minutes. The ambulance came took me to the hospital where we sat for several hours to monitor me after receiving epinephrine. My friends watched our little one. I wish I caught the names of the staff members. Thank you for stepping in and acting fast and keeping everything calm. Truly appreciate everything y’all did for me that day. Very grateful my husband didn’t listen to me when I was saying no. Y’all are the best! Thanks for the amazing stay and the amazing riverside view!”

“No seating. Attempted to give my order to the wait staff, (who I will note wore impeccable whitetail deer outfits, had me fooled at first), but they ran off and we never saw them again.Naming is a little off, no coconuts in central IL. Like to support the local business so I’ll give them a 5 this time.”

“The food's pretty good here. I'm just not a big fan of nacho cheese which is something they try to put on everything. And for breakfast, I think they should probably try to find some kind of cream cheese variant or an alternative to nacho as I don't think nacho cheese goes very good with breakfast at all”

“One of the best pizzas I've had. try the fresh fried mushrooms too.”

“Cozy place and a trip down East Peoria high school memory lane. Loads of Reo Speedwagon paraphernalia on the wall from when they played in Peoria. PROTIP: ask to look at the EP yearbooks!”

“The service was excellent and server was great and very friendly! area for sitting was well kept up, 5 stars”

“ordered a 32 piece and were not disappointed! got Nashville hot and santa fe. Nashville wasn't very hot but still tasty. wings were great size and cooked perfectly. so juicy. fries also good. just needed a tad more seasoning. 8 out of 10 will order again!”

“Was very disappointed this time we waited a half an hour to get waited on then it took over an hour for a hamburger and fries and two orders of bacon wrapped poppers and another sandwich. I ordered my second drink and an hour later I finally got it. The couple that we were with come here all the time and they were very upset said they would never come back on a weekend. We have been here before and the food was great in the service was great this time not so much. Also our food all came out cold didn't say anything to the waitress because we are afraid to be another hour before we got our lunch.”

“They have an awesome staff and support local charities”

“Best boneless wings in Central Illinois!!”

“It's been awhile since I've been in this subway it looks like they had gotten a nice remodel. I noticed that it was very clean and the veggies were neatly stocked and fresh. The young man working provided great customer service. Sandwichs were good and tasted very fresh.”

“We ordered chicken for a family gathering and it was excellent! Order was ready when we arrived and the service was prompt and efficient. We’ll definitely order again. Thank you!”

“Food is always good and items are built with your choices of ingredients. Guac and queso are extra so item price can increase quickly. Make sure you ask for more chips if needed as I never have 1/2 enough in first bag. Staff were friendly and you get a welcome when entering.”

“Food was good and staff were friendly. The dining area was a mess and needed a vacuum or sweep, messy drunk area especially underneath the counter. Always seem to be out of the right sandwich bread even though there were loaves in the case? Maybe that's just display...”

“I recently stopped in to pick up a rice krispy I had orderd through the app with a birthday reward. When I got there I was told they were out of the item I chose. The manager was great and stepped in to tell me I could come back tomorrow to pick one up so I didn't lose my reward. She was so kind to help make my birthday a good one with Noodles& Co's delicious rice krispies. Great food, even greater service!”

“Fajitas Meal Deals 10/10!”

“Good service and great food!”

“We were at this location on Thanksgiving eventhough the location was very busy. The staff was kind and very patient.”
