50 Best Vegetarian 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!“

“Had my first experience today with a friend for lunch. This was the best lunch I have had in the past 3 years. Wish I lived closer would be a regular at this lovely and friendly restaurant. You are going to be a great success.“

“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.“

“Everything about this place was phenomenal. I am not from this area and came here because of the good reviews. They were not kidding!
Fresh squeezed orange juice: check. Fluffy (not gluey) biscuits and gravy: check. I'm going to run out of room here, so just believe me when I say everything was amazing. And if you are a coffee drinker, don't skip it! Thank you to Leah who was attentive and sweet! *And no, this is not a paid ad, I just really liked it here! *“

“Just had breakfast there , it was great!“

“Very personable and I loved the real cheese Pizza! 🍕 One of the best Pizzas I've had in a very long time. Thank you for the great experience!“

“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!“

“The wife and I stopped here for Sunday Date Day for the first time. Great experience and great food! I eat a 90% meat diet and they were more than happy to switch it up, add another meat option (for upcharge of course) and keep the pita/rice and hummus. :) The food was great!.. I got the 3 Shish combination plate (1 of each) and it was very flavorful and cooked well. Nice crisp on the lamb shish and the other meats were spiced different enough to tell them apart. The seasoning on the chicken reminded me of growing up and having souvlaki at Festival in Grand Rapids, MI. Wife had the lamb shank special and really enjoyed it. I tried a bite of the shank and it was amazing. VERY tender...a perfectly braised shank! Sauces were good. Green had a little heat and was very jalapeno forward, the red had more of a Buffalo Wing vibe (maybe a mix of harissa?) and the tzatziki was very fresh... looser than I am used to but it was nice. :) Although I didn't have the pitas like the wife did, they are Illinois made in Skokie at Libanais, always a plus. Being 2 miles from home, we are sure to swing in again. Heck, it might be a common change from our normal Jimmy Johns lunch. :)“

“This is one of my favorite, clean restaurants in Peoria. great gluten-free options, high quality ingredients and friendly service. breakfast lunch and meal service. It's a gem!“

“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“

“Phenomenal service & delicious food!! 10/10!! Laura was speedy & efficient!!“

“great food good service“

“I've been going here for a few years now and everytime I go its just as amazing as the first time! the chorizo burrito is by far my favorite thing on the menu ive had, absolutely fantastic flavor and well worth the 13$ ! I'd recommend this place to anyone looking for great food“

“This is our second year in a row coming here when in town for an event. Best service from their amazing server/bartender Robin. Highly recommend this place!!! Worth the trip.“

“Had bad service on delivery and the driver lied to me. Pizza was wrong so I had to wait for my correct order and they made me give back the first pizza that wasn't correct and the driver said they will probably use it again. But I know they will just throw it away cause it was aty place for 40 minutes. Lies!!“

“Great food, consistently terrible service.“

“Tacos done right!! Need I say more? I am from Roanoke and will drive here for the best tacos around!!!“

“I ordered the pork chop there. A very dry and choky one with nice seasoning. Later spoke with manager there. Lied to me they were not frozen and they were fresh. I'm from the Philippines where they are fresh and not frozen. World of difference.“

“since Perkins is closed this is the place to go they have been busier since then it seems like! I know they're going to get a lot of their business though I have a feeling!“

“One of the best meals I’ve ever had! I get halibut every time I see it on the menu and this was hands down the best halibut. Lily, our waitress was super nice and friendly. Everyone at our table was very happy with the service and our food.“

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

“Hot food cold salad bar and great service and may seats have TVs“

“Best place to get a steak in Peoria with mouthwatering menu for those who enjoy lighter fare as well. Staff is always friendly and knowledgeable. Great place to take a date or bring the family!“

“Great atmosphere, great staff, and even better food.“

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

“Walked in and immediately smelled smoke, not the good kind. It smelled like an ashtray. We ordered fried green tomatoes and they were pretty decent. Then came the 3 meat platter, We had the chicken, pork and brisket. All the meats were pretty dry and had 0 smoke flavor. It reminded me of that store stuff you microwave. Pork was mid. The brisket was off tasting, more like pot roast. The chicken was the worst, no flavor at all and very dry. The baked beans and mashed potatoes were good. Don't know if it was a bad night or what but probly won't be back.“

“Hands down the best BBQ we’ve had in the Peoria area. Brussel sprouts are unbelievably good as well.“

“Excellent first time going to this place. Will be back and highly recommend it:) service and food were amazing“

“I am amazed by how well the atmosphere and the food and the drinks in the service are“

“service was amazing! our waitress was Ella. super nice, very helpful, stopped n checked on us frequently! food was amazing! so many drinks to choose from! just a little pricey (from what I'm use to. I don't go out to restaurants very often either tho.) will DEFINITELY be going back!“

“great food“

“We came in tonight to celebrate our anniversary. Our waitress was wonderful and food was delicious! Will definitely come in again.“

“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“

“The Chicken Philly Supreme is phenomenal — I’ll be daydreaming about that sandwich for days. The cheese fries were decent, but the real star was definitely that sandwich. Prices were reasonable, too. My only critique is the store’s appearance; the front glass doors were very smudged with fingerprints, which gave a bit of an off first impression. A little attention to cleanliness at the entrance would go a long way.“

“Great food! I got the Sheimp Mein Fun. It is delicious. Not too greasy and with large stir fry vegetables— crisp, not over cooked. Incredible service. I ordered and had my food with 5 minutes or so. They were busy with carry out orders… but still incredibly fast. The owners was very kind and the food hits the spot.“

“omg so amazing ! pizza and pasta was so good! New favorite place.“

“Amazing place. Great food, great service.“

“Best margaritas in the Peoria area. Enjoyed many Rita’s this summer outdoors by myself or with friends. Food is great and servers are very attentive, and always smiling. Going to miss the warm weather sitting outside sipping on my favorite drink!“

“no, no, no. N. O. NO no, no, please God no just look at all of the fake reviews that are all talking about whatever forex is! obviously don't eat here, if they have to pay for tons of fake reviews to flood their reviews page then they are probably trying to hide the real reviews... and I would have to say a hard no to whatever forex is that the fake reviews are plugging... the owner was a sloppy drunk at the barge and she treated her employees horribly, very unprofessional, it's been a long time since I went there but it use to flood and she would stay open, no power but the gas still worked so even with inches of water throughout the place she kept on cracking that whip at her staff to keep the burgers coming“

“I was very impressed!!! I really enjoyed the privacy curtains. The food was very good cooked perfectly! the service was perfect as well very polite and checked in frequently to be sure everything was good and we had everything we needed. I will be back and recommend to all my friends! If I had 1 complaint I guess I'd say the prices but in reality you get what you pay for all around here. It's worth it to me! I do not recommend this as a restaurant for kids. ☆☆☆☆☆“

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

“We had an amazing experience at Schooners ! Alyssa was our server and made sure our drinks were full. The food was delicious and amazing!“

“My party of 6 came in on a recent Sunday, now that they are open. We have been hoping a place like Donnelly's would open on Sundays. Their menu is shortened, but still has several of their all time favorites. We had wings, scallion dip, cheese curds, Waterford chicken, smashed burger, and a buffalo chicken sandwich. Everything was great!! We had great food, cold beer, and watched some football. What else can you ask for!! Everyone should come here for a fun Sunday-funday!!!“
