“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!“

“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!“

“Amazing service and amazing food!“

“Only my second time there. First time was years ago in the evening. Loud bar atmosphere. 7/18/26 I was here at lunchtime. A lot quieter! Mostly bar type food. But, there are other nice options. Matter of fact both types of stuffed tomatoes were GREAT.“

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

“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“

“Came here with a friend and enjoyed my meal. Landon our server was amazing!! Made my whole week better one of the best Culver employees ever! This kid was moon walking with 100 percent energy at 10:00pm !! The kid is just a stud and a great culver employee.“

“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.“

“Very good service the are very nice people and kindly“

“Extra Crispy Sweet Chile Lime wings were awesome!“

“The quality of our local steak and shakes have significantly improved along with the staff. Much cleaner, tastes better, and even seems more filling than it used to. On top of that the new company policies like banning microwaves, beef tallow for their fried goods, and grass fed beef for the burgers. It went downhill a while ago but I can definitely say it has done a complete 360 and has honestly been one of our families favorite quick fast food locations now. Definitely better than McDonald's.“

“A-hole move on my part, didn't realize Applebee's closed at 10pm now. I placed an order at 9:40pm😬, I am so sorry. I haven't been to Applebee's for a bit. Staff was amazing they were so sweet even though I felt horrible. The Chicken Shrimp Bourbon was amazing.“
