“One World Café is an absolute gem! The vibe is warm, welcoming, and full of positive energy. The food is beyond delicious, bursting with fresh flavors and creativity in every bite. Whether you’re grabbing coffee, brunch, or dinner, it’s the perfect spot to relax, connect, and enjoy an amazing meal.“

“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.“

“Just got the Boneless BBQ Ribs with potatoes and green beans. To go. Absolutely delicious.“

“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!“

“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‼️“

“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.“

“Great food and always nice servers“

“mushroom Swiss is delicious“

“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!“

“Good food for a good price, nice servings. Service was friendly and attentive, atmosphere was casual, clean and comfortable. Just what you would expect from a sit down diner. If you can't find something great to eat on this menu, well lets just say there's choices! You will enjoy it.“

American Airlines & Peoria Airport are very fortunate to have such assets! Thank you :)“

“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“

“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“

“I love the fresh food at Lou's, and also I love how quickly they got my meal to me. They make their own root beer, and it's delicious!“

“Love their waffle fries and shoestring fries. Love how the tables are not crowded together. We had the prime rib special, chicken strips, BBQ burger, tuna steak (very spicy!!), and filet mignon. Called 30 minutes before arriving to make reservations, sat down with no wait time. This restaurant has a much quieter atmosphere than most other restaurants, in our experiences. A lot of cheesecakes on dessert menu... would love to see skillet cookie added there.“

“Great food, delivered by great people. Always an enjoyable experience.“

“It was amazing when there with my girlfriend like an hour before they closed, And we where still welcomed in had really great food and the pie is to die for, will be going there again for sure.“
