“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? 😂🤤🤤“

“Best place we stayed between Chicago and Grafton, IL! We were stuck at Starved Rock lock for around 5 hours. We didn't get through until after dark (9:30-ish). I called and amazingly enough a guy named Chuck answered the phone! He said our boat was a little big for anything they had available but he could put us at their fuel dock for the night. He waited until we got there around 11pm, helped us get tied up then invited us to the bar for drinks and even opened the kitchen and made us supper! Seriously the best place we stayed. Fun, clean, not pretentious, extremely accommodating, and super reasonable prices! Thank you South Shore Boat Club - and Chuck - for your help and amazing hospitality!!“

“Best of the best service from Christy 👌“

“The chicken is fantastic! Super friendly staff as well! We will definitely be ordering in the future!“

“I normally love Culvers. It is the only fast food I eat. Today it was horrible. Fries were not fried properly. They were a gooey mess. My burger was not cooked in the middle. Threw it out and their food is not inexpensive. Waste of money and I'm still hungry. I will go back and if it isn't back to normal that will be my last time. Too bad. We have had a good relationship for many years.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Amazing service and amazing food!“

“Our first visit to the Riverfront will definitely not be our last. The food was out of this world and the drink selection was just as epic.You can't go wrong with the classic sports decor which makes this a great place to watch any game. Friendly owners, friendly bartenders and the friendly staff makes this place top notch all the way around. 100 Stars“

“Had dinner here 2 nights in a row due to work. Food was really good. The wings were excellent! Some of the best I've ever had. The Ruben was good. Just know that they chop the meat, then toss it in the sauce. So the texture is different from a typical sliced beef ruben. But the flavors are there. Fries are crispy. Excellent beer prices. Service is fast and friendly. Atmosphere is nice. Its a typical sports/outdoorsman type bar with alot of animal and fish mounts on the walls. Plenty of TVs for watching your sporting event of choice. Large wrap around bar and a center fire place adds a cool touch. Bathrooms are clean and well lit. I'd definitely stop here again for lunch or dinner.“

“Best Prime Rib in the Illinois Valley! Dare I say the best prime rib I’ve ever had? Highly recommend, but definitely make a reservation.“

“Great place to have a weekend meal after a long week of work! The grilled steaks and chops are awesome. The salad bar is wonderful and hard to find in other places. The service by there waitresses are right on! Great place to eat!“

“Dont know what happened tonight. Ordered an old drink thats not on the menu but ive always got it, even thru last month. Ordered another drink and waited over 30 min. Sent mushrooms back because they were burnt, literally stuck to the dish. Heard kitchen staff holler "for real" lol. Ended up walking out after 40 minutes still no drinks. Biscuits finally came out after 25min. Manager and kitchen staff need some retraining. She didnt even come talk to us. Normally great. idk what they were doin tonight. BTW there was maybe 3 other tables. Hopefully management and kitchen staff get it together.“

“We had Mickeys bring their food truck to our wedding and everyone LOVED it! They offered a wide variety of food and had plenty for all. The food was so delicious especially the Annie’s Tacos! We highly recommend!“

“Best of the best service from Christy 👌“

“Very good service the are very nice people and kindly“

“Extra Crispy Sweet Chile Lime wings were awesome!“

“A-hole move on my part, didn't realize Applebee's closed at 10pm now. I placed an order at 9:40pm😬, I am so sorry. I haven't been to Applebee's for a bit. Staff was amazing they were so sweet even though I felt horrible. The Chicken Shrimp Bourbon was amazing.“

“The quality of our local steak and shakes have significantly improved along with the staff. Much cleaner, tastes better, and even seems more filling than it used to. On top of that the new company policies like banning microwaves, beef tallow for their fried goods, and grass fed beef for the burgers. It went downhill a while ago but I can definitely say it has done a complete 360 and has honestly been one of our families favorite quick fast food locations now. Definitely better than McDonald's.“
