“A delightful saloon. Fast service and friendly staff. Be sure to ask to speak with the owner, Shawn, about his days playing basketball. He loves to talk about it and will give you a free shot if you listen for longer than 5 minutes.”

“This was such nostolgic place. The smell the amazing waitresses. The food was amazing. It hit the spot this place is so cute and just can’t get over how good the food was. 10/10 would recommend.”

“As we all know, Rip’s chicken is clearly the BEST. Have you ever thought about ordering Rips as a catering service? Not only was the service great, but the food was amazing. My wedding guests raved about it for weeks. We still hear about how much they loved the food. They make the best homemade Pasta and the chicken, as always was so good. They offered so many different sides to choose from and everything turned out perfectly. They had a nice setup and their girls kept the guest tables clean the entire time they were there. Seriously, by the end of the night I don’t think I saw one plate or empty cup on a single table! The owner works seamlessly with the venue and Rips staff to make sure your dinner services are top notch. I would 10/10 recommend Rip’s Tavern in general, but especially for an event. Thank you Rip’s for giving our guests a wonderful dinner experience!! 🐓🤍💍”

“Best of the best service from Christy 👌”

“Hands down one of the most delicious meals my husband and I have had. I had the Chicken Marsala, which our server recommended, and my husband had the meatloaf. Both dishes were incredible! Then we shared the Irish cream cheesecake for dessert, and it was to die for. Service and atmosphere were great, too. The next time we visit Peoria, we'll be back for another meal!”

“Please, please, please put the Korean Beef Bulgogi on your menu. My husband had it Wednesday night and it was out of this world delicious!! I kept stealing bites from his dinner. The meat was so tender and the flavor was so unique. This dish won’t be found anywhere else in the Illinois Valley area. My dinner was also delicious. Our service was great and we really enjoyed our time in your restaurant. Did I mention how much we loved the Korean Beef Bulgogi? 😂🤤🤤”

“Stone jug catered my wedding this past weekend and the food was absolutely perfect! My guests raved about it the entire night. We ordered the brisket, mac & cheese, beans, and potato salad. The price was also very fair per person. Please, if you’re getting married in the area, check out their catering it’s 100% worth it !!”

“My boyfriend and I eat here whenever we're in the area! I love the Anaheim, and he always gets the Cleveland!
Fries are always crispy, and the cheese lacks the cheap nacho cheese taste, meaning it's amazing.
The small seating is rarely an issue. Please eat here. They deserve the business! Fantastic dogs at fantastic prices.”

“Don’t sleep on this coffee shop. ☕️ I stopped at The Daily Grind on Route 6 this morning, and I’m officially saying it: this place is a gem in a cornfield. Normally, I grab a quick coffee and breakfast sandwich from a national chain on the way to work. Same routine. Same “fine but forgettable” food. Today, I downloaded The Daily Grind app, shifted my route just a bit, and went for a pour-over of their Ethiopian beans (roasted in DePue) — and noticed they had a breakfast sandwich. Friends… I swear this sandwich is on homemade bread, with the meltiest cheese, a perfectly seasoned egg, and ham that actually tastes like ham. Not microwaved. Not “warmed from frozen.” Just done right. Here’s the kicker: coffee + sandwich + tip = about what I usually pay for a sub-par Americano and a chain breakfast sandwich. The Daily Grind is tucked into the strip mall off Route 6 and Dalzell Blacktop, almost directly across from St. Bede. Easy to miss if you’re not looking — but you should be looking. And let this sink in: Spring Valley now technically has FOUR coffee shops. Add this one to the DO NOT MISS list. Same owners as Spring Valley Bakery, and it shows. They do coffee and mornings right. Highly recommend. Go get yourself a cup.”

“We were undecided on where to go eat when a friend of ours recommended this place. We were not disappointed! The food was good and the customer service was excellent!! The girl behind the counter was even nice enough to offer us some banana bread with cream cheese she just made that morning:) highly recommend.”
