50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Peoria

“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.“

Fried ice cream is again the best around! Service is wonderful, staff very attentive and friendly! We thoroughly enjoyed our meals today! We’ll definitely be back!“

“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.“

“As someone who has lived and worked in the Peoria area for many years, I truly appreciate locally owned businesses that consistently provide outstanding food and exceptional customer service. Chicago Grill is one of those special places. I have been enjoying Chicago Grill for years, and it never disappoints. The food is consistently fresh, flavorful, and generously portioned. Whether you're craving authentic Chicago-style pizza, Italian beef, gyros, hot dogs, or one of their many other menu favorites, everything is prepared with care and served with pride. What really sets Chicago Grill apart is the friendly, welcoming atmosphere. The owners and staff make you feel like family and genuinely appreciate every customer who walks through the door. It's refreshing to find a restaurant that takes such pride in both the quality of its food and the experience it provides. If you're looking for authentic Chicago-style food, generous portions, and genuine hospitality in Peoria, I highly recommend Chicago Grill. It has earned my business for years, and I always look forward to my next visit.“

“As a person that grew up on this type of food. this is the most authentic and most savory food in the area. the rice is very good and when u get the mixed grill, the kebabs melt in ur mouth delicious. the falafel is the most on point in the area of peoria. even the sald is soooo good!!!!! the kebbah is seriously the best I've ever had. the shawarma is so good it just makes u wanna come back for more. I would 100% recommend this place for the best mediterranean food. better than khourys and kebab g. compliments to the chef!!!! 😍💯❤️“

“We have eaten in or we have preordered for carry out at least 2-3 times a month. Never had a bad pizza since they opened about 8 years ago(2015) at Peoria North location. The Pizza is always HOT! You pick up your pizza from the bar, and if you get there and your pizza is not ready from a call in, they offer you a drink from the bar as a complementary, wait. 5 stars any way you ask!!“

“everything. you can even get carryout by the pound. one of the hosts said alhamdulillah to me on the way out. For a Muslim to openly give that blessing and to a non Muslim is testament to his love for humanity, respect, and compassion for all humans. Alhamdulillah to you to Sir and your restaurant.“

“I have eaten here twice now and the food is fabulous. The service is great and your food comes out fast even when busy. The manager is really friendly and makes you feel welcome.

Everything tasted amazing. We ordered the Hawaiian Roll, topped with really fresh!!!mango, and it was so good. We also tried the Catching Fire if you like spicy food, you will definitely love that one.

“Brasky’s was a great place to enjoy karaoke with friends! The food was delicious and the beers were cold! The Onion rings were my favorite! We had a fabulous night out! The owner visited our table and was outgoing and friendly! Highly recommend!“

“Famous Wok has the best orange chicken in Illinois
But before I buy the orange chicken, I make sure I get my favorite side, rice.
The orange chicken and rice have the perfect seasoning and sauce in Illinois.
It's not just about the food, it's also about the experience, and they truly succeed.
When my amazing experience ends, I know the only thing that can get me out is bringing some home.“

“Hoops has a filling salad and GREAT pizza!“

“I had the fish and chips, or I should say fries. They were excellent. Nice light batter on the fish and the fish was perfect. The fries were obviously natural and good fries. I would have liked them a bit crunchier but were good. They have a very good selection of Irish/ English beers and they are very good. The table however was a bit sticky. I asked for a wipe and the waitress said it wouldn't make much of a difference because it was the finish. After the wipe the table was significantly less sticky. Make of that as you may. The food was good the service good and my meal enjoyable after it became less sticky. I'll go back and worth a visit. Over all nice“
