Thyme Kitchen and Craft Beer - Peoria (IL)

2 /5 Van Der Karr Ryan (Ryan): We went for the holiday decorations and specials. It is a busy time of year so we made reservations for a late lunch/early dinner. When we arrived they were only about 1/3 full. From the start the service was so slow. It took 20 minutes to get drinks (& we saw what we believed to be two bartenders). It took over an hour for food and even worse was that none of it was hot. The presentation was great but not one dish was hot (we thought maybe they were waiting for something but no). We tried ordering a 2nd drink and they finally arrived with the check. We honestly didnt even get to order all that we wanted and sadly the check was more expensive than the very nice meal we had at the previous place. I did give it two stars (instead of 1) because the drinks were good and the food had potential. Unfortunately I wouldnt recommend going here. Its way too expensive for us to give a 2nd chance either.

4 /5 Jen Benningfield: Had a reso, waited 30 to be sat. Was seated in a corner facing a brick wall while 99% of the rest of the tables showed all the decorations. Once tables cleared we asked if we could move our own things over as it was later in the evening and no one new was coming in. Server was not to happy but said sure and really didn’t talk to use for the rest of the night. Was out of the vegetarian tenderloin, the poke bowl was underwhelming, the feta app was $16 with apples & 3 pieces of break and the chicken for $30 while tasty, was not worth $30. Drinks average about $15 which is $$ for Peoria. It was decorated great however.

4 /5 P (K): A lovely place where you can come with friends and family to get meal and drinks. They have a very nice selection of beer and spirits. They also have quite variety of food you can order. The staff here are very friendly. The atmosphere is very decorative especially for Christmas. Very nice place!!!

5 /5 ᗰคгรєlค ᗰ.: My husband and I just happened to be in the area and decided to have lunch here a couple weeks ago. Im a little behind on posting my pictures but the review is still going to be great. Upon walking in we were seated right away, there were quite a few people there but there was still plenty of tables available for a Sunday afternoon. When the waitress seated does she also brought us a large glass bottle of water and two glasses. As you look around the restaurant you notice that there is a loft with more tables and chairs where people are enjoying their lunch. We got the perfect little table, caddy corner right in the corner of the room. It almost felt as if we were the only ones there. We were greeted right away by a waitress and somebody that she was training, both ladies were very sweet. We told her that it was our first time there and she suggested we try and appetizer so we tried the Wisconsin cheese curds, they were beer battered, had white cheddar on the inside, and was served with ranch. They were great! We love going to places and trying different cheese curds and giving it a rating. These are fantastic I would come back just to have them again. For our main entree we both got the fried chicken sandwich. This came with pimento spread, fried onion, chipotle BBQ aioli, pickles, lettuce, tomato, and a potato bun. It seemed a little bit pricey to order this for $17 but I mean, it really seems like the going right now when you do go out to eat. Whike we waited we had some cheese curds and water (that came in a glass jar.) Honestly the water tasted fresh and clean but having it be room temperature water was very unsatisfying. I usually only ever drink water but I guess I could have asked if they had some ice. It just wasnt very refreshing to have it be room temperature. The chicken tasted great I never had one before with pimento cheese on it, it was a really nice addition. I didnt have any room for dessert this time but this was a great meal and we will definitely be returning to try something new on the menu next time!

3 /5 John Moore: Located in downtown Peoria,this place is not real easy to find due to poor signage in my opinion. We stopped in for a late lunch on a Monday and we were just about the only ones in the restaurant. The hostess seated us at a dirty table so our server noticed and had us switch tables. They have an extension Bourbon list so I started with an Old Fashion. They make theirs with Old Forester bourbon which is not my favorite. I should have asked for something different. My wife was pleased they had a nice Gluten Free menu so she ordered the Bison burger with side salad. I ordered their Smoked Meatloaf sandwich. Our meals were brought out by the chef and he noticed he put croutons on my wifes salad which is a big no-no. He also brought her a turkey sandwich? The server admitted it was her mistake so while I ate my sandwich,my wife waited about 10 minutes for her meal . My sandwich consisted of smoked meatloaf on a hoagie roll topped with mashed potatoes,crispy onions and smokey tomato sauce. It was very tasty but I did not really see or tasted mashed potatoes. When my wife received her Bison burger there was blood from the meat on the plate .not very appetizing! She said the burger tho was very good and cooked medium well. Thyme Kitchen offers a variety of unique food items as well as an extensive bar menu but they just need to get their act together.
