Highly Recommended 14 Dinner Restaurants Near Peoria, Illinois

Lawrence Holst Amazing food and atmosphere!! Great service too. It was very close to our hotel so we ended up going here 3 times in 10 days because it was so great. Highly recommend!

Shan B This was our first time going to Last Chance Bar and Grill and they were very busy for Mother’s Day but the customer service was incredible! The ladies were running around like crazy trying to take care of everyone and did a great job at it. They also had wonderful food that was served fresh and their hand cut fries with actual cheese not nacho cheese was delish! Hometown feel with great food.

Nicole B. We had a company Christmas Party here and the staff did a wonderful job keeping up with drinks orders and refills. Their salad bar has a great variety with refrigerated plates. We ordered an abundance of food including shrimp cocktails, calamari, fried mushrooms, potatoe skins, onion rings , sautéed mushrooms, sautéed onions, a variety of steaks, skillet cookies, cheesecake, and more. I only got a few pictures. Sorry. The parking lot is big enough for semis and RVs as long as they are not too busy.

James G 9-20-25 Been here several times over the past couple years and each time its a great experience. The food, atmosphere, service and patrons are all great! It can get very busy at times so be prepared to spend some time waiting on your order but believe me its well worth the wait. The fact that its in an over 100 year old church is awesome in itself. Well definitely be back soon!

Michael Regilio Our waitress was perfect. She was friendly, attentive, and 100% accurate. She also quickly brought each of us waters and the drinks we ordered. Our group had nachos and onion rings as appetizers. The nachos were great with lots of toppings. The onion rings are the super thick kind and had a slight kick to them which just arent the kind we prefer, but they were cooked perfectly and probably would have been great to someone. Our group had ribs, ribs & chicken strips, and two Roadhouse Deluxe burgers. The ribs and ribs and chicken looked good, the ribs were saucy, our dinner partners didnt comment on the taste though. I ordered my burger medium, and it was perfectly cooked. It tasted good too. I really like Logans French fries. My girlfriend who had the other burger ordered well done and hers came out medium rare or maybe even rare. We didnt complain as she didnt want to wait for a replacement and I have a feeling they would have happily made another. Overall, considering everything was priced well, it was good.

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!

Dianna Kimbro Lovely late lunch. I had a baked potato and the shrimp and lobster soup. Very tasty. I receive my order with 5 minutes. Both my hostess and waitress were very professional and courteous. Would definitely eat here again.

Todd Merritt We had our family of 10 in our group which included a five and a two year old. The restaurant was extremely busy on a Saturday evening. The servers seemed to be taking care of many other customers so there was a bit of a wait on extra drinks or water refills etc. Appetizers and food arrived in good times after ordering. The filet and shrimp with asparagus I had was fantastic. Other family members were happy with their orders as well and several of us took left overs home for another meal. Great atmosphere. Will go here again.

Chris Kraszewski Holy cow is the service fast! The poutine to start was delicious. Then the entrees can out it record time. We were in and out in 40 minutes. There was no rush and we could have stayed longer but we ate our food and left. I recommend this place for some good BBQ.

Kelly Heimlich We had a great dinner here last week! My aunt and uncle brought us here. There was a bit of a wait which seemed crazy for a Monday night but we survived. lol Our food was amazing. I was disappointed that there was only one Irish cider on tap but at least it’s Magners. The place was packed and really loud but we had a pleasant dinner would definitely go back again when we are in town next.

Norm B Amazing. Absolutely incredible. Nothing better in Peoria. Service top notch, food was impeccable. Steaks were top notch, appetizer amazing and desert was delish.

Victoria Armbrust We love the wood fired pizzas. My husband easily split the jalapeño popper pizza. It was excellent. The freshness of all the ingredients was incredible. We will be back!

ᗰคгรєlค ᗰ. This was our first time going to Los Cabos Cantina, Jesse seated us and was our waiter too. After seating us he was gone for a brief moment came back and took our drink order, they brought us some chips and salsa right after. When he was taking our order it was almost as if weve known each other for years. He was very friendly and comfortable. The salsa was really great, when you let it sit in your tongue for a second it warms up, had great flavor! We decided to get a small bowl of queso and that was great too. We only had to wait maybe about 10 minutes before our meal arrived at the table. Presentation was really nice especially the tacos. I had ordered a tamale and asked for the toppings on the side. When he came back to the table and noticed that the toppings were not on the side he immediately tried to fix it. And Im not pointing that out to say that they made a mistake but to say that he tried to fix it in many ways. He offered to go back and get a new one, take it off the bill, and even after I tasted it, if I didnt like it he would bring another one out. I decided to just keep it as it was and it actually tasted really great, it was really nice to taste somebodys tamales that had lots of flavor! You can tell that they put their heart into making these tamales! I too make tamales so I definitely appreciate the art & that and the fact that they took the time to make it very flavorful! While we were eating I looked around the restaurant and really appreciated the decor that they had it actually felt like you were in Mexico enjoying a nice dinner! The decorations, the bull head, the seating, everything was all very comfortable, it felt very authentic and I loved it! Overall the food tasted great especially the Birria tacos. I also love the fact that theyre redoing the entire parking lot so its going to be real nice to be driving through there in the future. Just parking lot was known for being really bumpy and lots of potholes and stuff so that was definitely appealing to see a new parking lot! We really enjoyed our first experience here and well definitely be coming back in the future! ¡El servicio fue excelente y la comida fantástica! ¡Muchas gracias!

Sunir Majilya This place is absolutely amazing. The beer is really good and the food is amazing. The staff is very polite and the they have both indoor and outdoor sitting with great ambience. The outdoor sitting is perfect for a cool summer evening. Their shandy beer is a must try.
