50 Best American Restaurants near Germantown Hills

“Visited Germantown Grille for the first time today. My husband and I like to take little road trips for lunch on Fridays. Your lunch did not disappoint, the Dixon Cod sandwich was delicious and the haystack oh my. Half is for supper tonight. We will be back, I give you a 10.“

“Food is really good but they are very short staffed and the day we were there they couldn't handle the crowd without becoming rude. Waited 45 minutes for someone to take our order and when we asked if we could get someone to take it the service quality tanked even more. No one to take people's money, so people had to stand in line to get their checks. They do not combine their tips, keep that in mind.“

“Food and service are always excellent, hands down best fine dining in Peoria. Inspired menus, extensive bar, welcoming atmosphere and dim lighting make it the perfect date night landing. Get the Brussels sprouts.“

“Just ate here for the first time and the Meat Lovers Skillet Breakfast was Awesome & so was the Service 😋 Going back next Wednesday for All You Can Eat Fried Chicken !!! Bon Appetit“

“Kimmy the bartender was unbelievably awesome talk about service with a smile.. Food was exceptional and timely great addition to downtown Peoria..RECOMMEND VISITING 😀“

“Food was fantastic. Service was amazing. Even the other guests were wonderful. Met the coolest lady from Littleton.“

“Rhythm Kitchen has always been a staple in downtown Peoria for a couple of reasons…excellent food and awesome atmosphere. It’s cool that they just keep getting better and better. A group of us went there last night for dinner and it was absolutely outstanding! Service is always so friendly and you simply cannot replicate the Rhythm Kitchen vibe anywhere. The gumbo ya ya is an absolute must have, jerk chicken is crazy good and the meatloaf is classically delish. Even their grilled cheese is fantastic! And if you even think about leaving before dessert, you’re out of your mind. We were trying to be polite and share among the group, but there was a “survival of the fittest” mentality bubbling up at the table and let’s just say we were lucky to leave as friends. Few places leave you with the need to go back the very next day, but I gotta say, I need to go back…like now.“

“had a birthday lunch with about 15 close friends. my sister had ordered creme brulee for everyone for a dessert. very nice“

“Hey y’all RANCH AND HONEY BBQ CHICKEN WINGS IS SO AMAZING AND THE KOOLAID IS WONDERFUL OMG ILL DEFINITELY BE BACK“

“Great food with an awesome staff“

“I went for lunch today and had the catfish, dinner salad, and Cole slaw. It was an actual channel catfish, cooked with the most perfect crust that was not at all grease on it, the salad had the freshest salad greens, slices if cucumber, and tomatoes, with delicious croutons. The cole slaw is made there, is creamy, and I fell in love with all of it. The owner is a perfectionist and the food is too quality! I have not found anyone else in Peoria that serves this quality of food. I will be there at least once a week! Highly recommended!!!!!!!!!!“

“As someone who has lived and worked in the Peoria area for many years, I truly appreciate locally owned businesses that consistently provide outstanding food and exceptional customer service. Chicago Grill is one of those special places. I have been enjoying Chicago Grill for years, and it never disappoints. The food is consistently fresh, flavorful, and generously portioned. Whether you're craving authentic Chicago-style pizza, Italian beef, gyros, hot dogs, or one of their many other menu favorites, everything is prepared with care and served with pride. What really sets Chicago Grill apart is the friendly, welcoming atmosphere. The owners and staff make you feel like family and genuinely appreciate every customer who walks through the door. It's refreshing to find a restaurant that takes such pride in both the quality of its food and the experience it provides. If you're looking for authentic Chicago-style food, generous portions, and genuine hospitality in Peoria, I highly recommend Chicago Grill. It has earned my business for years, and I always look forward to my next visit.“

“Definitely will have to visit again, so so good!“

“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!“

“Love this Club!!! Great food & View‼️“

“Our first time here this afternoon/evening. We were just looking for a place near the Civic Center before a show. Great food, friendly staff, very nice atmosphere. Our server, Wes, was great as well. 10/10 would visit again when we are in town.“

“Best food, reasonable prices and great service by Judy.“

“This is the first time I've ever been in this burger brand, so I ask The cashier (Jocelyn) to recommend me something from the menu, and she was so kind to recommend me The spicy chicken sandwich, The place is clean, service is fast.

The place is packed but not as loud as I expected.

All the employees smile at you when they see you.

The food is good, good taste.

THANK YOU JOCELYN.

make her manager 🙏🏻🤣“

“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.“

“The food was delicious and had a real homemade touch. It was some of the best chili I’ve ever tasted, and the french fries and chips were delicious. The architecture is beautiful, and it is very interesting to learn the history of the place from the menu.“

“Strong food ranging from traditional bar food to some more unique/healthier options (like the Irish Stew). The true distinictive of Kenny's though is the long list of bands they show off.“

“Man, I love this place! Food is ALWAYS on point. This is one of the few casual dining places that I feel like if the employees aren’t making at LEAST $19/hr and if not, I’d be embarrassed to be an operator. Every single time I come in here, I am greeted with a smile and I feel like I’m getting the best meal in the area. I really hope your crew is making what they deserve, because they absolutely and unequivocally deserve it. During these times where fuel is $5/gallon, the crew should be living like kings and queens. I don’t think I’ve ever waited more than 6 minutes for my food, and I’ve been coming here since this store opened. I applaud the staff.“

“Atmosphere is welcoming and relaxed, with excellent options for both indoor and outdoor seating. The cocktails are consistently well-made, the burgers are outstanding, and the beer selection offers something for everyone.
What really sets Clinch apart is the staff. Everyone is friendly, attentive, and genuinely seems to enjoy making guests feel welcome. Whether you're stopping in for a drink, dinner with friends, or a night out on the patio, Clinch delivers a great experience every time. Highly recommended!“

“Best breakfast shoe I’ve ever had ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I highly recommend Kep's Sports Bar & Grill. The bar was very busy the day we visited on Jan. 28th 2024. The waitresses worked very hard to keep our drink glasses full and our food was served hot and delicious. I was very impressed with their chicken sandwich. It was very delicious and huge. It was the best chicken sandwich I have ever had. The atmosphere was fun but relaxing. The bar was very clean. Looking forward to ordering their chicken sandwich on our next visit to Kep's Sports Bar &Grill.“

“Everything, the last 5 times our order was wrong or something was forgotten when call and ask get attitude, been going for years that's why so many chances but after almost $50 for chicken and spaghetti that says $32 on their menu online I think it's time to be done.... horrible horrible customer service“

“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.“

“good food , good drinks, good people, good times“

“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.“
