“please you have to get to maples and have their delicious food waitress are super nice very clean inside food is outstanding my wife and I love their food“

“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!!“

“The chicken is fantastic! Super friendly staff as well! We will definitely be ordering in the future!“

“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!“

“Amazing service and amazing food!“

“Had dinner here 2 nights in a row due to work. Food was really good. The wings were excellent! Some of the best I've ever had. The Ruben was good. Just know that they chop the meat, then toss it in the sauce. So the texture is different from a typical sliced beef ruben. But the flavors are there. Fries are crispy. Excellent beer prices. Service is fast and friendly. Atmosphere is nice. Its a typical sports/outdoorsman type bar with alot of animal and fish mounts on the walls. Plenty of TVs for watching your sporting event of choice. Large wrap around bar and a center fire place adds a cool touch. Bathrooms are clean and well lit. I'd definitely stop here again for lunch or dinner.“

“The treat my daughter like she’s family she even got an Easter basket“

“Thank you so much for catering our Christmas gathering. The meats were great, the pastas were excellent and the price was fantastic! The kids are already asking when we can do this again!“

“Our first visit to the Riverfront will definitely not be our last. The food was out of this world and the drink selection was just as epic.You can't go wrong with the classic sports decor which makes this a great place to watch any game. Friendly owners, friendly bartenders and the friendly staff makes this place top notch all the way around. 100 Stars“

“Best Prime Rib in the Illinois Valley! Dare I say the best prime rib I’ve ever had? Highly recommend, but definitely make a reservation.“

“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.“

“Had a wonderful meal this morning, February 6, 2026. The food was absolutely delicious delicious. The service was wonderful. The bathrooms are so clean clean and smell smell so fresh everything is improved 100% we’ll definitely go there again. It was just wonderful.!!! You can certainly tell there’s a new manager👏👏👏“

“Extra Crispy Sweet Chile Lime wings were awesome!“

“Seated quickly. Restaurant was fairly quiet and clean. Staff was very efficient and friendly. Food was hot and fresh but portions seemed smaller than what I remember and my chicken and waffle fries were chared to the bottom on the skillet which gave the meal a slight burnt flavor. Girlfriend has always ordered chicken and broccoli Alfredo but our waitress says the company removed broccoli from their menus which seems a bit odd so she settled for the chicken Alfredo which was OK. The manager at this location is always very friendly and occasionally walks around checking on customers which is great. Overall our experiences here have been fairly good and we would return .“

“Great and fast service . Very friendly good food and shakes are amazing“
