Great service and food always friendly staff
This was not Peoria but in the East Peoria location.
I was in there today on September 8. While I was there an older gentleman I am assuming he was the owner as he was behind the counter went straight up to the older lady that was working in the establishment. When he approached her he got in her face and started yelling loudly at her where anyone and everyone could hear. There were other employees there also they were younger. I am sorry but if that is how you run your establishment...read full review

The Original Wonderdog is a local hotdog restaurant known for its unique take on the classic dish. The restaurant serves hotdogs sealed in the bun with a mix of relish, onions, ketchup, and mustard, offering a distinct flavor profile. While some customers have found the hotdogs to be less than satisfactory, others have praised the famous wonder dogs and the loose meat sandwich, describing it as their new favorite.
The restaurant has received mixed reviews, with some customers reporting the drinks as watered down, while others have praised the excellent and inexpensive food. The cleanliness and atmosphere of the establishment have also been a point of discussion, with some noting the lack of management presence leading to loud employees.
However, recent reviews have highlighted the comfort food experience, with one customer describing the food as "fantastic and uniquely different" and another stating that it tastes the same as the ones they had in the early 80s, suggesting a continued tradition for those seeking a nostalgic dining experience.
