Richards, the restaurant is closed.
A strip club is now in its place. Very surprised when I opened the door.

We came in with a large bunch (kids included) on St Patrick's day. They had a stand going upstairs as well. The staff upstairs were great about letting us hide our strollers and wagons away behind them while we went down for drinks and food. The staff was great and right on the ball with everything we needed! it was fantastic!

I’m posting this review for my Mother Jennifer who was in the restaurant the morning of Saturday November 5th — My family came in town for the final cross country meet for my Nephew and decided to have a nice meal before the meet. I left my tan Gucci purse at the restaurant in a hurry on accident. (Yes I know that’s my bad) I called as soon as I noticed and was told they FOUND my purse and would put it somewhere safe. So we turned around to head back. After 45 minutes we arrived back and a partner helped us. It seems there was a shift change in between us calling and arriving back at the the restaurant. He and a very sweet waitress searched all over with no luck whatsoever and did not understand why my purse was not in their safe or office. So he took our information and we went to the meet for cross country. We returned after the run and spoke to 2 different employees that said they BOTH seen it hanging on a hook. The bartender stated he had seen it as well but still no sign of my purse they claimed they found. Yet everyone here has seen it but no one “knows” where it is. The stories were not sitting straight so we called the police. The police met us at the restaurant and asked to view their cameras and they claimed they had a power outage so had no cameras to view. The police officer along with my husband and I both questioned why would you not put a purse away and instead leave it in plain sight. The bartender said yeah I know medications and keys and some other things were in there. He then stated where he would have put it if he found it which is funny because you knew what was in it so you clearly had it in your possession. The police advised them to question their employees and would be contacting people who look at liquor license since they could not let the officer view the camera footage. ALSO o hope you’re aware that anything stolen over $300 is considered a FELONY in Illinois. Considering the purse alone was just about 4 times that you’re in for a rude awakening if the police find out that it was you. PLEASE just turn it it and no questions will be asked. That purse was from my daughter and it held a lot of my important items. — We live three hours away and I had to go without my medication, I am a drug and Alcohol officer myself and the keys to my facility were in that purse, sentimental jewelry was in that purse, etc… you really did a number on me. We all felt with the different stories this was an inside job. We will continue pushing as long as it takes and I will continue posting reviews any chance I get. I’m not mad at the owners but I really really suggest you look into your employees and fix this. I hope whichever employee took my purse needed my medications more than myself.

Ok well that didn't make sense because you looked in the purse so was aware it was there and did not put it up. The police advised them to question their employees and would be contacting people who look at liquor license since they could not let the officer view the camera footage. We live three hours away. I had to go without my medication and I am a drug and Alcohol officer myself and the keys to my facility were in that very expensive purse. We all felt with the different stories this was an inside job. We were told to call the partner on duty when thebpurse was found after 5 which we did and he claimed he knew nothing about a missing purse. I hope whichever employee took my purse needed my medications more than myself and I hope Karma hits you hard.

Got the hamburger horseshoe and it was amazing!! Super cheesy and flavorful. I’ll be there next to try the burgers!

No one knew the special or how to make it. Was nothing like what it was supposed to be. And really expensive for what you got.

I love hot wings with all my heart so I know this review had to be made. Even though I chose BBQ this time I just want to say upon opening up my togo box that it was no mistake. You know how certain restaurants wings look slimy and undercooked? Not Richards… they literally have this method where they smoke the wings first and then throw in the grease after for a short amount of time to give the chicken a crisp effect. On the top of that the fries are seasoned!!!! Omg I even think they make a homemade ranch. So if you happen to be in that neck of the woods and craving some wings then, I would highly suggest stopping in! Oh yea sn I went on a Wednesday, they have a special where you get a pound of wings and fries only for $10. I’d say thats a steal.

Best smash burger around and the smoked wings are ???Glad they're back!

Wings and fries are good! Place is small and doesn't compare to the old location downtown, but that's OK because I'm happy the food is back!

Walked in was greeted right away by the server, who got our drinks right away and told us about the menu. She was very attentive. We kept it simple and got some old downtown Richards staples. Chicken tenders (frozen pre-made tenders, but ok)and cheese fries, Ribeye sandwich (cooked well and had good flavor) and cheese fries both were great and for a fair price, served hot, and fast. Atmosphere is more dive bar feeling, but ok.

Tried the smoked wings on Wings Wednesday. They are incredible! Best I’ve ever had. Tried the steak sandwich last week. Another winner! Lots of food for great price. Highly recommend

Just stopped by for lunch. I had the big kahuna, which is a special that better make it on to the permanent menu. A definite contender for the best burger in Peoria.
