The Queen Of Squash - Peoria (IL)

5 /5 Nate Heffron: Had a great dinner here! We all liked the food and drinks. Our favorite was probably our appetizer (shareable cheese bites). Will definitely be back next time we are in town.

5 /5 ericka arreola: Wish I lived in Peoria so I could enjoy this place more! They have a lot to offer even if friends in your party arent "clean" eaters. Their salads are bountiful and flavorful. I recommend trying a few things. You never know what flavor combos may surprise you.

5 /5 Allison West: We were passing through here and found this restaurant. If you are looking for gluten free, celiac friendly, dairy free, vegan, and/or nut free food that is DELICIOUS this is the place for you!! The food was amazing!! They are so careful and accommodating of allergies and perform gloves changes in between. We have lots of food allergies and they were so understanding, kind, and careful. We will definitely come back here when passing through again. Also, their venue is so beautiful and clean!! Such a plus! We had the nachos to start and they were unreal! Their house queso is dairy free and nut free and sooo yummy!! We got the child’s pizza, the California Chicago style crust pizza, and a delicious salad. Many of their dishes are plant based/vegan as well if that’s something important to you. Very grateful to have places like this. Definitely recommend checking them out!

5 /5 Liz Vincent: Celiac friendly and delicious!! The decor was adorable and the service was great. The owner (I think?) took care of us and was extremely helpful with our decisions. If I lived in Peoria, I would be a regular.

5 /5 R. Seamus “James”: My lady can’t have gluten, we always struggle finding places that have options for her. We were meeting an old friend of hers in Peoria, when she saw that The Queen of Squash was 100% gluten free. She was very excited. Now before I go much further, I am a hardcore Carnivore. I eat all the meat and Glutens. So, I was a little skeptical about a restaurant that seemed to cater to gluten free and Vegan. Over the years I’ve become accustomed to Gluten Free items, but they always seemed to have issues. I was pleasantly surprised by the food here. We started off with the Cheese bites. Which is much like Brazilian cheese bread, we couldn’t decide between the zucchini chimichurri or the pineapple salsa as a dipping sauce, so we paid for both. These were fantastic. It had a great taste, and honestly both dipping sauces were good, but it was agreed the zucchini chimichurri is absolutely the best. If you like cheesy bread stuffs, get this. You will regret it if you don’t. For the main course I opted for the P-Drizzle on a cauliflower flatbread. As copied from their menu: “a base of ranch and cheddar, topped with chicken, turkey bacon & turkey pepperoni and drizzled with tangy mustard BBQ sauce and our secret burger sauce.” Now, I was hesitant because Turkey Bacon, Turkey Pepperoni? To my bacon and pepperoni loving self, this seemed so wrong… The only thing wrong about it was me. This flat bread was beyond delicious. Honestly, the bacon and pepperoni didn’t taste exactly the same as traditional style, but that’s okay. It was still good and on this flatbread the flavors mixed with everything else to make it a tastebud sensation. Most surprisingly was the crust. If you’ve ever eaten Gluten Free items, they usually have a weird texture, it’s too dense/crumbly, or has a strange flavor. This did not. Over the last five years I’ve eaten a lot of Gluten Free items and tested them vs the traditional versions. I can say that this flat bread was so good, that I had to double check with the staff to make sure it was gluten free before I let my lady taste it. If you are gluten free, or if you are with someone that is gluten free. Go out of your way to the Queen of Squash. You will not regret it. My only issue is that it’s so far away from where we live.
