Restaurants in East Peoria

“The absolute Best BBQ we have ever had, everything we ate was so amazing!! Huge portions of everything , & affordable. We recommend it 100%”

“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!!”

“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!”

“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!”

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

“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”

“We stopped by the market today on an impulse. After we made our purchase, the owner followed us out and gifted us a case of Stella Rosa. Apparently all customers got one. What a wonderful gesture. Thank you so much. It's my birthday and we were on our way home from a disturbing doctor's visit. The kindness is much appreciated.”

“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”

“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!”

“This is a fun positive atmosphere. Always friendly prompt service. Great food and staff!!!! John Lisa and Courtney are always on their A game.”

“Stopped by while in town.. so pleasantly surprised to find such a delicious brunch place. Our server Makenna was super sweet and efficient.

Wheelchair accessibility: The entire place is.”

“Had an outstanding lunch at Carrigan’s Pub today! Pork tenderloin was a generous portion, seasoned and cooked perfectly! Fries were crisp with just the right amount of salt. Very reasonably priced… Highly recommend!”

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

“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!!!”

“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”

“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!”

“We eat here about ounce a month, YOU'LL NEVER Be DISAPPOINTED!

Parking: Getting a pitcher of margaritas is cheaper then 2 large glasses, only way to go.

Kid-friendliness: Yes kids welcome 😁”

“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.”

“The best tacos in East Peoria.”

“stopped in for lunch, great food as always!”

“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! 😁”

“Very good boba drinks and fast service”

“Peoria Illinois. We arrived 5 minutes before closing. They had to special make my shrimp. I felt bad that they had to do that, but they were apologizing that I had to wait! We told them we had traveled 10 hours and they went out of their way to make sure our order was exactly what we wanted. They were working over to make our meal! I hope Long John's appreciates those hard workers! This positive attitude made our day!”

“Best place in EP with the friendliest staff”

“friendly bar and fun people”

“I have been going to taco John’s in ep a lot this past month and everytime I come which is usually later with the night crew they get my order right every time and have the best customer service. Super cool people they deserve some recognition”

“The atmosphere was a gas station so 3 stars there. But I haven't had godfathers pizza in a long time and it brought back some good memories. It's a comfort food. Although I like local pizza joints, I'd put Godfathers in my to 3 big chain pizza places.”

“Give @TheHoleShot a follow!! Great Owners, Tenders, and friends. Beers are always cold, and slots are always hot! Cum on down to the March 30th open jam celebrating my 33rd birthday party ! Jam starts 7-?! See you there!”

“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.”

“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 🫶🏿”

“some of the nicest ppl go here”

“I've been coming here for years, I never have a bad experience.It's great place to eat. And the staff go out of their way to make you feel welcome and happy. I love coming here.”

“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”

“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.”

“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!”

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

“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”

“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.”

“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”

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

“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!!”

“First Time eating at Dac's tonight with my oldest son. Everything from the initial call I made to see if we could get I'm to dining in was phenomenal. The girls were great on the phone and in person. The food was amazing! The prices were good and we even ended up with leftovers. Would highly recommend and will definitely be going back. Also loved how quickly we were taken care of, especially on a Friday Night when we walked in starving and we walked out stuffed! Well done Matt and staff, well done!”

“Fantastic & uniquely different meat sauce over a steamed weiner & bun. 😋 It taste the same the ones I ate in Early "80" at the corner of Forest Hill & Gale. A tradition continues for those who want it.”

“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. ☆☆☆☆☆”

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

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

“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!”

“Best boneless wings in Central Illinois!!”

“I like this location. So far Everytime I've walked in, no matter the staff member they were friendly, inviting, and professional. I know some locations are hit or miss, and I'm sure everyone has different experiences, but this location so far is the best in the city.

Vegetarian options: Choose no meat”

“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!”

“They have an awesome staff and support local charities”

“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!”

“Nina was our waitress and she made the entire experience so pleasant. She was friendly & visited with us, as well as, attentive without being annoying. We enjoyed our evening and will definitely return!”

“good portions ablittle cold with no way to heat so better to be able to take home for extra heating mostly nice people lots of teen age hires so be patient

Dietary restrictions: be careful with a make line no way to rule out cross contamination for allergies but clean overall for food preferences ingredients all separate

Kid-friendliness: it's more of an adult food bar set up like subway make your own bowl picky kids probly won't love

Wheelchair accessibility: has wheelchair ramps and blind friendly sidewalks but semi dangerous busy area to bring blind people to because of how busy would recommend take out , for people who become over stimulated
doors are kinda heavy, and the buttons are super slow and have been broken before”

“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...”

“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.”
