50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near West Peoria

“Walked in and immediately smelled smoke, not the good kind. It smelled like an ashtray. We ordered fried green tomatoes and they were pretty decent. Then came the 3 meat platter, We had the chicken, pork and brisket. All the meats were pretty dry and had 0 smoke flavor. It reminded me of that store stuff you microwave. Pork was mid. The brisket was off tasting, more like pot roast. The chicken was the worst, no flavor at all and very dry. The baked beans and mashed potatoes were good. Don't know if it was a bad night or what but probly won't be back.“

“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.“

“Everything about this place was phenomenal. I am not from this area and came here because of the good reviews. They were not kidding!
Fresh squeezed orange juice: check. Fluffy (not gluey) biscuits and gravy: check. I'm going to run out of room here, so just believe me when I say everything was amazing. And if you are a coffee drinker, don't skip it! Thank you to Leah who was attentive and sweet! *And no, this is not a paid ad, I just really liked it here! *“

“had a birthday lunch with about 15 close friends. my sister had ordered creme brulee for everyone for a dessert. very nice“

“great food super friendly staff and fast service and great price“

“The wife and I stopped here for Sunday Date Day for the first time. Great experience and great food! I eat a 90% meat diet and they were more than happy to switch it up, add another meat option (for upcharge of course) and keep the pita/rice and hummus. :) The food was great!.. I got the 3 Shish combination plate (1 of each) and it was very flavorful and cooked well. Nice crisp on the lamb shish and the other meats were spiced different enough to tell them apart. The seasoning on the chicken reminded me of growing up and having souvlaki at Festival in Grand Rapids, MI. Wife had the lamb shank special and really enjoyed it. I tried a bite of the shank and it was amazing. VERY tender...a perfectly braised shank! Sauces were good. Green had a little heat and was very jalapeno forward, the red had more of a Buffalo Wing vibe (maybe a mix of harissa?) and the tzatziki was very fresh... looser than I am used to but it was nice. :) Although I didn't have the pitas like the wife did, they are Illinois made in Skokie at Libanais, always a plus. Being 2 miles from home, we are sure to swing in again. Heck, it might be a common change from our normal Jimmy Johns lunch. :)“

“Husband and I absolutely LOVED our experience here. The food was amazing and loved all the flavor we've experienced. The service was outstanding on EVERY level. The family warmed my heart with happiness 😊❤️. We absolutely loved the Baklava too! What a beautiful experience this was. We're surely to return! Thank you KABAB G !!!!“

“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.“

“Just had breakfast there , it was great!“

“This is one of my favorite, clean restaurants in Peoria. great gluten-free options, high quality ingredients and friendly service. breakfast lunch and meal service. It's a gem!“

“This is our second year in a row coming here when in town for an event. Best service from their amazing server/bartender Robin. Highly recommend this place!!! Worth the trip.“

“I've been here a few times after work. When it's busy, it's loud enough that I personally struggle to hear others. I'm not a huge beer fan but can typically find something on tap that I like. Food has consistently been good. Service has varied based on how busy they are, but it's never been bad enough to not want to come back. Overall I've enjoyed my visits and would happily go back, especially if the Upside Brown is in stock“

“Just moved to the Peoria area and originally from
Chicago suburbs. Out of all the pizza places I’ve tried around here this is the BEST pizza by far!

The gentleman that was working was so sweet too and very personable!“

She went above and beyond, recommending food, drinks, and obviously enjoyed her job. The food was very good, but she made our date night special, and we'll be back to sit at her bar next time 💚“

“Today we drove from Bloomington, Illinois to your restaurant to check it out. It was well worth the drive. We really enjoyed our meals and the colorful ambiance. We are picky about our Mexican food, having lived in the Chicago area for most of our lives and with great Mexican cooks in the family. The food and great and the staff very friendly. We will definitely be back!“

“I ordered the pork chop there. A very dry and choky one with nice seasoning. Later spoke with manager there. Lied to me they were not frozen and they were fresh. I'm from the Philippines where they are fresh and not frozen. World of difference.“

“Kandace was our server Saturday and she was fantastic! Super friendly and professional. The food was great! We will definitely be back in the future.“

“Had bad service on delivery and the driver lied to me. Pizza was wrong so I had to wait for my correct order and they made me give back the first pizza that wasn't correct and the driver said they will probably use it again. But I know they will just throw it away cause it was aty place for 40 minutes. Lies!!“

I would 100% recommend this place for the best mediterranean food. better than khourys and kebab g. compliments to the chef!!!! 😍💯❤️“

“O my goodness I won 2-10 in gluten free crusts pizzas on a Facebook post. Thank you thank you! My sister and I whom I tagged to win in the post, went for lunch on Halloween and had 2 amazing pizzas!! And amazing cold beers with many choices of beer. The barbecue chicken and one with homemade sausage were both so delicious and the gf crust was amazing! The waiter was such a friendly, happy chap that we so enjoyed visiting with. My first visit and I’ll definitely return. Thank you thank you!!“

“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!!“

“service was amazing! our waitress was Ella. super nice, very helpful, stopped n checked on us frequently! food was amazing! so many drinks to choose from! just a little pricey (from what I'm use to. I don't go out to restaurants very often either tho.) will DEFINITELY be going back!“

“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. Prices are very reasonable. I tried the cherry crepes kijafa today and I would highly recommend them. I highly recommend this restaurant as well!“

“I was very impressed!!! I really enjoyed the privacy curtains. The food was very good cooked perfectly! the service was perfect as well very polite and checked in frequently to be sure everything was good and we had everything we needed. I will be back and recommend to all my friends! If I had 1 complaint I guess I'd say the prices but in reality you get what you pay for all around here. It's worth it to me! I do not recommend this as a restaurant for kids. ☆☆☆☆☆“

“Excellent food! Definitely recommend!“
