50 Best American Restaurants near North Pekin

“My son and I stopped for dinner, his choice. They were shorthanded but was pleasantly surprised by the service by Robin and burgers were good! Definitely recommend!“

“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.“

“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 had breakfast there , it was great!“

“We were told about this place by a nurse in the Peoria hospital. The food and service was amazing.“

“Our first time in and it was great!! I was in a breakfast mood so I got the lumberjack breakfast : cinnamon roll French toast, 2 eggs over medium, hash browns, sausage and bacon! we also tried the biscuits and gravy which were great and the biscuits were really fluffy! He got the bacon cheeseburger with fries and we also had a chicken quesadilla for an appetizer! Generous portions, food came out promptly and everyone was really nice! We can't wait to go back!“

“Good food/Thanks, Chefjohn C.E.C., Hunt“

“Had our reunion here and it was wonderful! The staff was helpful, the food was good, and the prices were very reasonable. Definitely recommend it“

“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!“

“Superb food#best atmosphere 👌“

“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!“

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

“outstanding food and I wish she was open more than a few days but I understand ♥️♥️♥️“

“Honestly, this restaurant was adequate. There was nothing, overall, that left me impressed. It was all just okay, and I would be hard-pressed to return when I can get exciting or excellent, or really good somewhere else.
Limited menu and small portions for the prices. I think I got a dozen fries, if that.
Fairly good service was the upside.“

“I had the jerk chicken and it was amazing! service was great and food came out fast. what a great experience!“

“It’s been years since I’ve been here and it’s still a cute place to dine for lunch. I love the atmosphere! Monica gives great service and has wonderful lunch options.“

“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.“

“Cranwills was delicious as always. I try to make a stop at least 1 time a year when im in the area. Love the coney dogs and they are the same i have been getting since a kid with my dad. Was even suprised today that they gave me a sundae to celebrate my 38th birthday. Was such a sweet thing to do and i didnt expect they would since i never knew they did anything for birthdays.

Wheelchair accessibility: There is no inside to this building (for customers) so it is wheelchair accessible in that you either stay in your car or you can get a wheelchair up to the few outdoor tables under the awning. Getting to the tables might take a little help to move the tables a bit to get through depening on wheelchair size.“

“I tried the St. Louis Style Ribs with baked beans, cornbread, & fried pickles. Delicious BBQ. Friendly & attentive staff. I'll be back! The BEST! (2022) 🦆 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I had always wanted to try this. Brought my family in tonight from an hour and half away to try and I have no desire to come back. The service was so so bad. We saw her when she took our drink order, when she brought the drinks out, when she took our order, and when she delivered our order 75 minutes after ordering. The wait time for the service in the kitchen was extreme. The restaurant was not busy at all. Not once was a drink refilled without one of my family members going up to the bar to get it refilled. It was very apparent the waitress did not care about the service to our table and it was very disappointing. Employees in the restaurant were not welcoming nor friendly. Food was very mediocre, nothing impressive. Shake was okay. I do not recommend kuchie's on the water at all!“

“Pizza was great! Loved the hummus dish.“

“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.“

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

“I would travel an hour and a half again just to eat here!! And I've only had the appetizers! I look forward to trying more from the menu on my next trip! And to be inside an old beautiful church makes the atmosphere so cool. Love it!

Parking: Besides street parking there is a very large parking lot across the street.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“mushroom Swiss is delicious“

“Good service. Friendly. Pretty good menu with possibly daily specials. Tasty food and ample portions.A little difficult to spot the entrances in the dark, but there's one in the middle of each long side. Nothing fancy inside and the floor is painted concrete, so it's a bit cool in cold weather, but it should be nice in the summer. Screened in outside dining for warmer weather, too.Worth a visit.“

“Last Saturday we had a celebration of life for my son. Rail House was one of my son's favorite places to hang out. We had more people show up than we expected and our server Melissa was a total pro!! She was kind, thoughtful, and handled all our needs beautifully! Our guests had a great time. Thank you so much to everyone who helped make this event more than we could have hoped.“

“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.“

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

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

“A wonderful night. The waiter misheard my order and corrected it straight away, which I was really grateful for. But then he brought the most decadent turtle cheesecake to make it up to us, and the taste alone was so worth the wait. I really recommend the lamb, it melts in your mouth, and I think tastes the way a good steak should. I really thank the staff for showing up for us at every point, as we were positive we made a reservation for the dining room but ended up at the bar upstairs. They found a way and quickly sorted us a table when it was obvious that it was difficult to do so. It was refreshing to be treated so kindly by everyone involved. Needless to say, we'll be back.“

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

“this is one of the places I remember going to as a kid with my Dad and it hasn't changed one bit great hospitality and wonderful comfort food“

“fantastic food, great quality, friendly staff“

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

“Went with some friends on Wednesday night for Wing Night and was not disappointed. Ordered 10 mild wings that were crispy and had heat, but not much, and that's how I like em. Drinks were competitively priced, and the bar tender was super friendly. Great place with good atmosphere. Will be back this weekend to the band.“

“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.“

“the bartenders is awesome“

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

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