Made an order online picked up they had given me the wrong meal, called immediately and was told they would replace my order , next day they were closed and I don't live in town. Waited to come back to work went to order my replacement order and the lady that is working this morning is extremely rude , has no people skills and dose not belong talking with customers. I said never mind keep the replacement order my family will no longer be coming back sad to see a place that was great get ruined by rude people like her.

This is the best breakfast place in central Illinois. Let's be honest ... it's nothing to look at ... it's not in the best neighborhood ... inside it has some faded pictures of John Wayne and the seating is your standard 4 -person square tables. When it's full, it's loud. So, if you are looking for a quiet, romantic breakfast place, this isn't your place! However, if you want some great breakfast food and super friendly, attentive service. .. this is the place! My coffee was always full and Whitney was always smiling. The star of the show was the food. I got the chicken fried steak breakfast ... big portions, homemade gravy, crispy hash browns and two deliciously scrambled eggs. And this might sound a little silly, but the white toast was perfect! I'm serious ... it was perfect! If you want breakfast, the Busy Corner in Pekin is the place to go!!!

During my recent visit to Busy Corner for an Olivia graduation gift, I felt pressured to finish my meal quickly. The owner and waitress both asked if I was done before I requested the check, which I found somewhat abrupt. When I mentioned my concerns to the waitress, she became argumentative, which struck me as unusual given the two inquiries about my status. In a somewhat amusing twist, she neglected to include a tip for herself. Initially, I intended to provide a substantial tip, but I AM NOW GLAD SHE CHOSE NOT TO TIP HERSELF!! I suggest that the staff focus on developing a more empathetic and customer-centric approach, which may ultimately result in improved gratuities.

If you want pancakes that will absolutely blow your mind then you need to go here. I don't know what they do but you will never be able to find pancakes as good as they are here.

They burned the corn beef hash, the American fries were burnt. Waitress had an attitude after we complained to her that she said she would be right back... but that didn't happen. She got busy bagging up a to go order, etc. We sat there for 10 minutes no coffee no water.. nothing. Not sure why I still tipped the waitress $7. The person I was with asked me to meet them there. I prefer Ernies and believe me, I will not go back to Busy Corner.
I got the breakfast haystack with a coffee and it was absolutely dynamite. Honestly, the coffee tastes great and the food was awesome. The server was quick and accurate with my order, not to mention very friendly. I'm definitely gonna become a regular.

The Signature Sandwhich is without a doubt the best burger I've ever had. This was certainly the best meal I've had in a good while and can't wait to try more options.

Very pleasant, hospitable restaurant with all day breakfast and nice lunch options. All 5 adults were happy with their selections so much so they decided to come back the next day during a two day soccer tournament. We got there around 1 pm and everything was still available and well made. Pekin is lucky to have this place.
Kid-friendliness: We had a 9 year old and a 7 month old. Both were welcomed and treated with patience and smiles.
