The server was very nice at first but she was slightly pushy about us ordering right away. It was my friend and I's first time and there was no one else in there. The place was very spacious, clean, and there's a digital jukebox that you can pay for music (otherwise, it is eerily quiet). Restroom was not clean despite it looking like I was the first person in there for the day. My friend ordered a burger and fries. She did not like the taste of the burger and thought the fries were undercooked. I ordered the Dizzy bowl (Wednesday special) which was mashed potatoes topped with corn, cheese, and chicken bites. I thought it was good but I had stomach issues shortly after finishing it. The server was very attentive at first with the drink refills. However, once the food was delivered, she vanished. She disappeared in the back and went out for a break outside. Once she did return, she continuously kept trying to clear off our table despite us not being done. All in all, it was okay. Worth exploring as a fun drinking place with food options but not as strictly a dine-in place.

Ordered 3 tacos to go (a chicken, beef and pork) done street style. Explosive flavor for each and each distinctly different tastes. This was 6$. Also ordered the homemade chips and queso for 5$. Seriously best chips and dip Ive ever had. Chips were cooker and salted perfectly. All food packaged fantastic to go. Extremely impressed. Tuesdays 2 and after food is served...I shared the menu.

The first time I had the Italian Beef and it was amazing! Steaming hot and juicy, the flavor was superb. I had crispy fries with it and they were perfect (at least the way I like them)! I brought half home and when I warmed it up in the oven it was as good as the original in the restaurant. Today I asked about the tenderloin! It's hand made, and so huge it does not fit in the bun. The toppings I ordered were raw onions, pickle relish and mustard. I could only eat about half or less than half. The crispy fries were again outstanding, and brought half of them home. I cannot say enough about the wait staff and the food! I usually go around 1 p.m. and there are plenty of tables available. They also serve homemade pizza which I haven't tried yet. Whoever is leading the food and cooking should get a gold star. There are not too many bar/restaurants that serve quality food at this level. Kudos to all the staff!!!!!!!!

Not real busy, but I did notice that there seemed to be several "Door Dash" pickups while we ate dinner. We had good service. Our waitress was attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. We ordered 1/2 rack ribs (4 stars), 1/2lb Brisket (3 1/2 stars), Brunswick stew (4 1/2 starts), and Chili Con Carnie (5 stars). The house made barbecue sauce was the highlight of the meal (5 Stars). The ribs were very good and fell off the bone. The sauce made them exceptional. Brisket was tasty, but a little dry for my wife's liking. In hindsight, we probably should have ordered the brisket "chopped". The waitress indicated that the "chopped" brisket was more "fatty". The Chili Con Carnie was very very good. Not something that you see at a Barbeque place often. I highly recommend. The key lime pie was very tasty and better than what you get at most places. Although not quite exceptional. Worth a try though. Overall, we liked the Blue Duck Barbecue Tavern. Great location and lots of character. Very good ribs, excellent homemade barbeque sauce.

Review Visit: February 17th, 2015…read more Silver Bullet in name only. There are no werewolf threats here! In fact, they don't sell anything gun related. Just yum related. Silver Bullet is a nickname for Coors Light. Which, in talking to friends, used to be hard to come by in this area back in the day. So maybe this place is named as a tribute to that beer? The Silver Bullet has been in East Peoria for as long as I know. As a kid, I remember this place being here, because I would visit the Co-Op Store next door (music store) to pick up some cds and music memorabilia. It was called Silver Bullet, Too at one point, but I am unaware if there was a second location. Once my friends and I turned 21, we started to visit this place, so the Initial Date is a bit misleading. My friends and I have been here many times before and after the photo you see above. Each time has been a great memory filled with deliciously cheap food, great drinks and a friendly staff. My friend Maria and I actually spent NYE 2016 here, counting in 2017 and despite it being slow in the bar, we had a blast. So what does the Silver Bullet offer? Well it has really good bar food at bar prices. I would actually come here with an ex-girlfriend just to get a good meal and shoot the breeze for a few hours. It has slots, a pool table or two, slots and some golf gaming machine. I will say that what I expected was a dumpy/low key bar since it's in a strip of stores and the outside is kind of plain. But once you step in, it almost has a restaurant feel as it is more upscale and everything is in really great shape. There is even a Beer Garden/Patio that you can go out and enjoy your beers while smoking or taking in the great Illinois weather. Sorry, this blog post has been all over the place. To me, Silver Bullet is like a real life Cheers bar. Just a fun and friendly place to go for some food and libations. So if you need a good bite and are in East Peoria for some reason, check out Silver Cheers... I mean Silver Bullet for an enjoyable time... Unless you are a werewolf! Hoooowwwwllllll!
