Restaurants near Spring Valley

“A great restaurant, I mean GREAT. I would travel 150 miles to eat there and have.”

“Love spring valley bakery! One of my favorite places locally!”

“Great tamales all fresh I've been looking fir a good one for a long time at last ? ?”

“Don’t sleep on this coffee shop. ☕️ I stopped at The Daily Grind on Route 6 this morning, and I’m officially saying it: this place is a gem in a cornfield. Normally, I grab a quick coffee and breakfast sandwich from a national chain on the way to work. Same routine. Same “fine but forgettable” food. Today, I downloaded The Daily Grind app, shifted my route just a bit, and went for a pour-over of their Ethiopian beans (roasted in DePue) — and noticed they had a breakfast sandwich. Friends… I swear this sandwich is on homemade bread, with the meltiest cheese, a perfectly seasoned egg, and ham that actually tastes like ham. Not microwaved. Not “warmed from frozen.” Just done right. Here’s the kicker: coffee + sandwich + tip = about what I usually pay for a sub-par Americano and a chain breakfast sandwich. The Daily Grind is tucked into the strip mall off Route 6 and Dalzell Blacktop, almost directly across from St. Bede. Easy to miss if you’re not looking — but you should be looking. And let this sink in: Spring Valley now technically has FOUR coffee shops. Add this one to the DO NOT MISS list. Same owners as Spring Valley Bakery, and it shows. They do coffee and mornings right. Highly recommend. Go get yourself a cup.”

“After a rude experience at another restaurant, we called and asked if they could accommodate a group of 20+ people last minute. They had tables put together and ready when we arrived! Ali B. was an excellent server considering the amount of people and kids we had with our group. Thank you Jacks for good food & a good experience!!”

“Nice little mom n pop place to get quality coffee! They have the best chai lattes, I could drink them all day lol. Great service”

“Amazing food !! Highly recommend! Great owners”

“Food was good and your staff did a great job 01/23/2026”

“One of the best if not THE best Mexican-Bar Restaurant in the entirety of Illinois. I am from Los Angeles and we have one of the best Mexican food restaurants and I am fully confident and convinced Di-ga Tacos can hold up to any of the high rated LA Mexican Restaurants. I absolutely love eating at Di-ga Tacos as they have a huge variety of food and options. My favorite are the Carne Asada Nachos. They are insanely delicious and I could probably eat them every day. They also have a large refreshing drinks menu. The great part about the restaurant is that they also have a bar and available karaoke every Saturday. For the hot summer day they have ice cream and other cold snacks inside to cool down. But one of the most awesome things is that they cater to any event!”

“Tried their weekend buffet for the first time, and the food was delicious. The variety of offerings was extensive and impressive, and included many authentic dishes you don’t ordinarily find, like albondigas, pozole and menudo. The fruit was fresh and high quality, the tres leches cake was outstanding, and the rice pudding in the brunch offerings was the best I’ve ever eaten, as were the chicken fajitas. Everything was well and deeply seasoned, but balanced, and the entire meal was a refreshing change from the same old same old corporate chain tastes. THIS tasted like it all came from Abuela’s kitchen. We will definitely return!”

“For over 25 years, Angelo's Restaurant & Pizza has been one of my absolute go-to spots in Spring Valley. From the very beginning, Angelo and his family have treated us like family - even before I officially lived here. That kind of warmth and consistency matters, and it shows in everything they do. Their pizza is hands-down one of my favorites in town. And if you were ever a fan of Peru Pizza House (like I was), Angelo’s is probably the closest thing around... not the same, but that crust has a similar feel that really hits home. Pro tip: If you order from Angelo’s, you should try the Gyro Pizza (like a Greek sandwich). Gyro meat. Feta. Fresh tomatoes. Tzatziki sauce on the side for dipping. Absolute 🔥. One of my favorite menu items anywhere. And don’t sleep on: + Italian Beef Subs + Gyros + Chicken Parmesan All second to none. We’re lucky to have so many great food options in Spring Valley, and Angelo’s is definitely one you need to have on your list. They also deliver to Peru and surrounding communities, so there’s really no excuse not to try them. If you haven’t had Angelo’s yet… it’s time.”

“This is my favorite ice cream shop in the area. Rich and creamy ice cream, great sundaes, delicious shakes, and very friendly service. It is a cash only ice cream shop, so plan accordingly.”

“The spring rolls are absolutely delicious. There were plenty of options to chose from. I would definitely be back.”

“I'm originally from chicago, and this is the closest you will get to chicago mexican food.This is very authentic and the tacos are awesome, especially the shrimp cocktail.If you eat in here before and enjoyed it please comment and rates. Because this restaurant here is a treasure and it needs to be cherished.
And appreciated”

“Good quick place to get a good sandwich. Consistent quality with all other JJ.5 stars because it was as expected. Not that anyone has the expectation this is a Michelin Starred restaurant.

Vegetarian options: A couple of veggie sandwiches

Parking: Plenty of spots probably 20

Wheelchair accessibility: Wheel chair entrance.”

“CLEARLY illinois Valley's BEST Subway. Ingredients and bread is always fresh and service is the friendliest! Store interior ALWAYS appears spotless.

Too many locations use borderline stale bread and produce that look day old. One owner with multiple locations actually waters down the soda dispenser. Ugh.

Spring Valley is the ONLY location and fast food establishment I gladly use the tip option.
Employees deserve a raise!”

“Awesome🙏🏽!!! So since i moved to Georgia 6yrs ago, i havent found a good pizza place! So my mom called alfano's n ordered 10 chilled pizzas and they needed atleast 24 hours. Problem was she was leaving that evening! They took her order anyways and made what they could! They made it to my freezer 13 hrs later! Im sooo greatful for them! They are amazing just like they used to be. I only get papa johns, or pizza hut around here! Thank You again Alfano's! I'll send all tourist to you always! Yes, she also brought us some ravs from Mareta Ravioli!! My mom new what we needed down here! 😎 my family is so greatful for both of your yummy food we miss is soo much!”

“Gross negligence by crew and management alike. Orders are almost always wrong or missing items. Today, I spent an HOUR in this location waiting for my order. Special instructions on the order, per dietary restrictions. My order was picked up by another customer, and the staff offered to remake mine for the mistake. Once remade, the special instructions were not followed, and they had IMMEDIATELY lost my receipt/could not recall it/print a new one to confirm my previously entered order. The manager then came to WRITE DOWN my order, in front of me and told me he would personally remake it again. And AGAIN, my order was incorrect, with the special instructions still not followed. During all of this, the staff was generally unhelpful. Rude, short and too busy talking amongst themselves to properly care about customers, orders, or how they present the McDonalds brand/experience. So I wasted an hour. Left with a poor attitude from the staff and management on duty, with only a refund in hand. I worked at McDonald's for an extended period in the past. I have certain expectations for how things should be handled, and absolutely none of them are ever met at this location.”

“Best of the best service from Christy 👌”

“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 homemade sandwiches in town. Fast service, great staff.”

“This place has a great atmosphere, delicious food, super friendly staff, and top tier service! 10/10 would definitely recommend!”

“Please, please, please put the Korean Beef Bulgogi on your menu. My husband had it Wednesday night and it was out of this world delicious!! I kept stealing bites from his dinner. The meat was so tender and the flavor was so unique. This dish won’t be found anywhere else in the Illinois Valley area. My dinner was also delicious. Our service was great and we really enjoyed our time in your restaurant. Did I mention how much we loved the Korean Beef Bulgogi? 😂🤤🤤”

“Stone jug catered my wedding this past weekend and the food was absolutely perfect! My guests raved about it the entire night. We ordered the brisket, mac & cheese, beans, and potato salad. The price was also very fair per person. Please, if you’re getting married in the area, check out their catering it’s 100% worth it !!”

“This is my Husband's and Mines second time at Jorge's and we highly recommend this place! We ordered their chicken and skirt steak fajitas each time! They are probably one if the best fajitas meals we ever had, no joke, hands down! The meat is so moist and rhe vegetables so fresh and vibrant! Please try this place out! You won't be disappointed!”

“First time I walked into Club 55, I felt welcomed. Momma Nancy has a heart of gold! Jodi and Marianne bar tend together like a well oiled machine. They are amazing! Love the family atmosphere here. Always upbeat and lively. My new favorite place! ❤️”
