“Please, please, please put the Korean Beef Bulgogi on your menu. My husband had it Wednesday night and it was out of this world delicious!! I kept stealing bites from his dinner. The meat was so tender and the flavor was so unique. This dish won’t be found anywhere else in the Illinois Valley area. My dinner was also delicious. Our service was great and we really enjoyed our time in your restaurant. Did I mention how much we loved the Korean Beef Bulgogi? 😂🤤🤤“

“Went to C612 last night for the first time. I don’t think I’ve had better whitefish anywhere. It was fresh and cooked to perfection. I thought the prices were a little high until I saw the portion sizes. Easily 2-3 meals out of an entree. Great atmosphere. I’m surprised it took me this long to try it. I highly recommend and we will be back!“

“Best place we stayed between Chicago and Grafton, IL! We were stuck at Starved Rock lock for around 5 hours. We didn't get through until after dark (9:30-ish). I called and amazingly enough a guy named Chuck answered the phone! He said our boat was a little big for anything they had available but he could put us at their fuel dock for the night. He waited until we got there around 11pm, helped us get tied up then invited us to the bar for drinks and even opened the kitchen and made us supper! Seriously the best place we stayed. Fun, clean, not pretentious, extremely accommodating, and super reasonable prices! Thank you South Shore Boat Club - and Chuck - for your help and amazing hospitality!!“

“Best of the best service from Christy 👌“

“I normally love Culvers. It is the only fast food I eat. Today it was horrible. Fries were not fried properly. They were a gooey mess. My burger was not cooked in the middle. Threw it out and their food is not inexpensive. Waste of money and I'm still hungry. I will go back and if it isn't back to normal that will be my last time. Too bad. We have had a good relationship for many years.“

“Hands down one of the most delicious meals my husband and I have had. I had the Chicken Marsala, which our server recommended, and my husband had the meatloaf. Both dishes were incredible! Then we shared the Irish cream cheesecake for dessert, and it was to die for. Service and atmosphere were great, too. The next time we visit Peoria, we'll be back for another meal!“

“This is my Husband's and Mines second time at Jorge's and we highly recommend this place! We ordered their chicken and skirt steak fajitas each time! They are probably one if the best fajitas meals we ever had, no joke, hands down! The meat is so moist and rhe vegetables so fresh and vibrant! Please try this place out! You won't be disappointed!“

“Always great service! And Joanne working the register and taking orders was a rockstar always has every time I've visited! Five out of five stars whatever 10 out of 10 if I could I'm going down the list of their hot dogs and marking them off one by one as I finish them“

“Dont know what happened tonight. Ordered an old drink thats not on the menu but ive always got it, even thru last month. Ordered another drink and waited over 30 min. Sent mushrooms back because they were burnt, literally stuck to the dish. Heard kitchen staff holler "for real" lol. Ended up walking out after 40 minutes still no drinks. Biscuits finally came out after 25min. Manager and kitchen staff need some retraining. She didnt even come talk to us. Normally great. idk what they were doin tonight. BTW there was maybe 3 other tables. Hopefully management and kitchen staff get it together.“

“Arrived around two o’clock on a Monday afternoon. It was a warm and beautiful fall day so we chose to sit outside. It was busier than normal for a Monday, but we weren’t in a hurry anyway. The wait staff worked hard. I ordered the breaded pork tenderloin. My wife ordered the chicken strips. Each entree came with fries. Mine came with lettuce, onion, tomato slice, and pickles. Unfortunately, there were so many french fries that most of the onion, the slice of tomato, and the pickles were all buried, as you can see in the photo. I didn’t even realize they were there until I had eaten some of the fries. The fries were kind of bland, there was no seasoning on them at all. The breaded pork tenderloin was delicious and quite large. The chicken tenders entree was more than enough for my wife, so we brought it home along with half of the breaded pork tenderloin sandwich. Bottom line, I would eat there again, but I only gave it four stars because the french fries covered up the toppings for my sandwich. Attention to detail people!“

“By far one of the BEST, IHOP's aka U-JUMPS, (because I personally do not like to HOP, therefore U-Jump). Sounds better in person..Anywho, The food was literally still steaming when it arrived. This particular IHOP has regained my faith local breakfast chains. For once, the food actually WAS worth the price.
Our server, I think her name was Kelly. Anyway she was absolutely perfect!!.“

“Extra Crispy Sweet Chile Lime wings were awesome!“

“We stopped for dinner after traveling all day.. Brian took care of us from the time we sat down to when we left after having dinner and drinks. Brian was pleasant, outgoing and very attentive to us. He also was very pleasant to talk to! We received 5+ star service!! Our Food and drink were fantastic. If we are ever back in the area we would stop again. Thank you Brian for making it an enjoyable evening for us.“
