My date and I had a great time here. The food was excellent, and the atmosphere was very cozy and welcoming. I had the salmon BLT; a unique dish that was delicious and went great with the side of red beans and rice. We will be returning soon!

My personal favorite restaurant in Peoria. Get the gumbo, crush the muffin up and put it in the gumbo. It’s one of the best dishes I’ve ever had anywhere.

Total hidden gem in downtown Peoria! We popped in on a Tuesday night (jazz night!) and the little trio playing was AMAZING!! Seriously, so much talent packed into an intimate space, it felt like a private concert.

The food did not disappoint either. I had the salmon beet salad and it was fresh and delicious. Service was super friendly, and the whole vibe of the place with live music made for such a fun night. It's rare to find a place that nails both the food and the music scene, but this spot absolutely delivers.

If you're in Peoria on a Tuesday, check it out. Great food, great music, and a super cool atmosphere. Can't wait to go back!

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.
