“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.“

“Food was fantastic. Service was amazing. Even the other guests were wonderful. Met the coolest lady from Littleton.“

“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.“

“I went to Kuchie's for the first time. The staff was friendly and helpful for this first timer. I sat at the bar so i could get the full experience. Ok, I'll admit that I do like to people watch. My drink was good, appetizer (cheese Curds) vary good. My Pattie Melt was made with a swirled bread and all the typical fix-n's all the flavors blended together well, tasty! All in all Kat the bartender was attentive and professional. The rest of the staff was top notch. 5 stars I will go back along with spreading the word of my good times.“

“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!“

“Our first time here this afternoon/evening. We were just looking for a place near the Civic Center before a show. Great food, friendly staff, very nice atmosphere. Our server, Wes, was great as well. 10/10 would visit again when we are in town.“

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

“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!“

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

“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.“

“Very cool place to hang out, the servers were super friendly. The impressive thing here was you can order 1/2 pint glasses of beer for half the cost of a pint, it allows you to try more of the beer recipes and not over indulge. I sat outside both visits after sitting at the bar to take in the beauty of the place.“

“Clink staff is great. On nights when the Heights is packed and there are people everywhere, the staff stull do their best to be attentive despite the busy atmosphere (which is great to see). Caitlyn and Bridgete along with the hostest apologized for wait multiple times and gave updates on the status of our food and drinks often. Food came out hot and as ordered.“

“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.“

“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.“

“mushroom Swiss is delicious“

“Great food and always nice servers“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“some of the nicest ppl go here“

“friendly bar and fun people“

“the bartenders is awesome“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“My wife and I found this place a couple months back and I am yet to find something on the menu that isn’t delicious. Not only is it great food, it’s at a great price too. I’ve also stopped in for a couple of beers and enjoyed the atmosphere.“

“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!“

“good food , good drinks, good people, good times“

“Friendly service. Caters to every budget. Great food!“

“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.“
