50 Best American Restaurants near North Pekin

“Great staff, Tequila is an amazing waitress. She’s handling all of the things in the hole restaurant. She seems to be training a new waitress, taking a customer call on the phone seating and waiting on people doing a great job of multitasking all of it. She needs to have her own store or definitely a raise lol thank you for this experience tequila.“

“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!“

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

“Had the loaded pretzel, and the shipwreck Bloody Mary! So good, and great service from Tasha!“

“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.“

“As always, the food here is great. But the employees make everything even better. I can’t tell you how many of them go out of their way to make going to Culver’s a good experience. I highly recommend going to this Culver’s. It’s evident the workers really care.“

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

“Tenderloin is my favorite! With fries and Monterey Jack cheese to dip them in! They offer a good variety of ice cream for dessert too!“

“mushroom Swiss is delicious“

“We stopped in on route from Derby to Chard, having found you quite by accident on Google maps. What a wonderful surprise! A gorgeous little boho paradise with great food (the vegan tagine and broccoli and Stilton soup were delicious), and a warm and friendly welcome from the owner and from Xena the dog. It’s a long way from home, but hopefully we’ll be back!“

“We went for our first time on Wednesday, and had an awesome experience! I don't remember her name, but we were served by your amazing bartender. She went above and beyond, recommending food, drinks, and obviously enjoyed her job. The food was very good, but she made our date night special, and we'll be back to sit at her bar next time 💚“

“The food is easily a 10 out of 10. The service is exemplary, friendly and personal. I love eating there. The only con is the price of a Caesar salad, on our last visit my wife and I each got a Caesar salad to start our meal and the two salads alone was $25.00, everything else was inline with the service and atmosphere which is the best.“

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

“Had it for the first time this evening. the feta truly enhances the gyro and the fries were unique and I enjoyed the flavor. I highly recommend to give your business a try.“

“Our first time! The Brats are good. Loved the haus slaw but they only filled the container half way up which was disappointing. Was hoping for German potato salad too. Overall what we got was good but not enough food for $30.“

“I've been here a few times after work. When it's busy, it's loud enough that I personally struggle to hear others. I'm not a huge beer fan but can typically find something on tap that I like. Food has consistently been good. Service has varied based on how busy they are, but it's never been bad enough to not want to come back. Overall I've enjoyed my visits and would happily go back, especially if the Upside Brown is in stock“

“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.“

“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.“

“Have you been looking for a great burger and fries? Look no further. Best I’ve ever had!“

“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.“

“Traci and the entire staff at Clink went above and beyond to help host a wonderful bridal shower! From start to finish, she was attentive to emails and special requests that I had to personalize the shower. The event space is perfect for a large or small group and the bartender heather did a fantastic job as well! I highly recommend this venue if you’re looking to host a party or event.. I can’t say enough about how pleased I am with the choice! Thanks to all for a fantastic day!“

I really really want your garlic, horseradish cheese that you make, how can we make that happen?“

“food and service is horrible.“

“The best in Peoria!! I’ve never had anything that I didn’t like and the atmosphere is AMAZING!“

“Great airport here in Peoria. Actual terminal has 11 gates and is about 2 football fields long. Two places to shop after security. One is an all-in-one place which includes bar with TV’s, food to order, premade foods, drinks, snacks, T-shirts, and anything you need for flying. The other store is a small gift shop.“

“Friendly staff, delicious food, reasonable prices! Oh my, the german chocolate cake! 😋“

“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.“

“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“
