Suggestions for Family-friendly places near Peoria

Jim M. • March 4, 2017Still one of my favorites in Peoria. Next to Bradley University, so has more of a big city palate. Nearby Thai, Vietnamese, Sushi. Craft beer, espresso drinks, best taboulah, chicken and waffles

Pete S. • August 17, 2014Tenderloin is delicious, as is everything else on the menu. Great for breakfast or lunch, and they even grow some of their own ingredients.

Chad T. • May 26, 2023Old Timer burgers are think, Juicy and flavorful. Highly recommended

Jessica W. • November 29, 2014If you're from the California area or have had the pleasure of having In'N'Out, this is the closest thing I have found to it so far. Awesome burgers with all the toppings you could choose!

Atomic S. • August 18, 2014A summer treat! I generally get the BBQ and the Chilli Cheese Tamale. The rootbeer is excellent (sweet not "spicy"). I prefer getting curb service and listening to rock and roll in my car.:-)

BC H. • September 26, 2015Absolutely best chili dogs in Peoria. Everything is great though. Chili cheeseburger, polish sausages both hot & mild, & great soft serve ice cream. Great prices too! Wish it was open all year.
