An appetizer order of Calibites.  Haha..
Tamara M.

We have eaten at the Burlington Boathouse many times, in the restaurant and for carry-out. Over the last 6-8 months the place has declined. The food portions have "significantly" decreased and their food freshness is lacking. It's sad to see a place wilt like they have. The salad dressing is so watered down it doesn't even cling to the salad. We got tenderloin and a grilled chicken sandwich, neither sandwich was big enough to fill the bun and they both were pounded so thin. What was the absolute worst was an appetizer order of calibites (breaded cauliflower). The picture speaks for itself. Last warning: Everything we ordered cost more than the price reflected on their website. The calibites are listed for $8, we were charged $10.

A hidden gem. Good food, great service. Our server, Marah, gave us some of the best service we have experienced in awhile. One thing they need to do is update their website (thedockrestaurants.com/burlington-boathouse-menu) with their full menu. We looked at it online and discovered the one they hand you when you arrive has more options, including a variety of pizzas! It is definitely worth the drive.

The restaurant is huge. There is a full bar with seating. There are a couple of televisions above the bar to watch. There is also a decent-sized dining are in the bar area and a larger, separate dining area just off of the dining area. The staff there were friendly. This pub has a country, downhome feel. They serve pub style food, including steaks, burgers, salads, soups, fish, tenderloins, wings, pasta, fish and chips and meatloaf. Additionally, they have a full-service bar with signature cocktails. Be on the lookout for their daily specials. I got me a Popper Burger with a side of fries. It took about 15 minutes for me to get my food, and it was very delicious. It was fresh, hot and flavorful. I highly recommend checking out this hidden gem. They have some savory drinks and delicious food.

The restaurant isn't well marked, but it's on the side of a Speedway gas station just off I-70. I saw good reviews on Yelp and had to check out the food for myself. The restaurant dining room is pretty dated, but clean. The staff is Midwest, small town friendly. We were seated quickly and immediately our drink orders were taken. Water was on the table quickly. Our server checked on us frequently. Service was great. I had a burger. The $8.90 burger comes on a huge fresh sesame bun with generous helpings of lettuce, tomato, onion and pickles. The burger itself was just ok. The burger also comes with a side and I had coleslaw. The slaw was some of the best slaw that I've had in a long time. I love a good coleslaw. My husband had the breaded pork tenderloin which is prepared in house. The breading was well seasoned and the pork tender. Again the lettuce and tomato toppings were generous. The pork tenderloin gets high marks. The restaurants gets a steady stream of local regulars and traveling truckers coming in for breakfast. The portions are generous and you're not going to leave hungry. Prices are really reasonable. There is plenty of parking and the restaurant is easy on and off the highway.

It could have been an off day for the kitchen team. I do suspect however that the food quality, and preparation is consistent and it just didn't quite meet what I would consider a four/five. I have travelled quite a bit throughout the world, had some really awful things and some high end, highly rated meals/places. It is simply decorated, and was reasonably clean. The server staff was friendly and effective, no issues with any of that. They even calmly managed to navigate a power outage that occurred, fortunately right after we got our meals delivered. I got a BPT sandwich and fries, and ordered a side of coleslaw. The slaw was actually pretty well done, crispy, just enough sweet to balance with the tang of vinegar. Where they fell off a bit on execution (or product choice) was the BPT. It was more of a fritter (likely frozen) vs. a pounded actual fresh pork tenderloin cut. It was thin, a bit "bready" throughout (not just coating). The bun was a tad bit stale, but they had toasted it as a good move to counter that. My wife got a turkey ranch wrap with fries. The name could easily be changed to ranch and hint of turkey wrap. The turkey prep is small cubes (may or may not be a Sysco bag of cubes type product), and there was simply too much ranch dressing, the cheese and vegetables were lost in a too wet, undisciplined glop inside of a spongy tortilla. It looks okay, but just doesn't hold up in actual eating. I wish them continued success, but I don't think we would be likely to stop again as we pass through the area.

Ate here two nights in a row because there aren't many other restaurants in Peru open for dinner…read more(Dillinger's is closed). Had two great experiences. This place feels more like a bar that serves food than a restaurant, but don't let that discourage you. It is very well air conditioned (bring a jacket or sweater and wear long pants!) and, surprising for a bar, was actually quiet enough for conversation without raised voices. Our waitress the first night was Jillian and we loved her! She was extremely efficient and friendly and had helpful info about breakfast options. The wine was a generous pour, the fried cauliflower was a pleasure, and the hamburger very good. The desserts are made in house (try finding that at any other restaurant!) and we were lucky that it was Boston cream pie the first night we ate there. Sooooo good!!!! On our return visit, I had to restrain myself from getting the cauliflower again and had the brisket, which was a special that night. Perfection! Smoky, melt in your mouth meaty goodness. My dining companion said the salmon with bourbon glaze was the best salmon he had ever had. And he has lived a long life. The menu also includes fried gizzards (which I was told are frequently ordered) and fried baloney. The prices for everything were reasonable. This place is clearly popular with locals, who come in to have a drink and buy lotto tix from the vending machine by the door. Everyone was friendly and in a good mood. The folks at the next table struck up a conversation with us on their way out. If there is only one place to have dinner in downtown Peru, at least it is a great place!

We stopped in this restaurant while on an antique run. Fantastic food and the service was the best…read more I had the breaded tenderloin, my wife had the barbequed pork sandwich. We enjoyed everything about this place, the feel, the look of the decor, as well as the service. Very very nice and we've eaten at a lot of restaurants all over the continent but this one takes it all. I've found that all states and countries have their own cuisine and way of fixing it but try to find a tenderloin , it doesn't exist in most places, even California doesn't know about it and here I thought they knew about everything. Trust me, if you want the experience we had you need not look any further but be sure to call in a reservation if there are more to your party and double check that you have reserved, that's always a good habit to acquire. As busy as this place gets you have no one to blame but yourself if you drop the ball, after all, what part of the word "Reserve" don't we all understand. Great place to eat and we'll keep coming back when we're here. Thanks Booker.

The dining rooms are filled with an eclectic blend of farmhouse decor. There is a homey Midwest feel with soft country rock playing in the background. The bar is downright cozy and adorable. The menu offers a mix of burgers and sandwiches. There is also a dinner menu. Our server told us that the burgers and tenderloins are fresh and hand prepared. The tenderloins are a favorite. I had the Bbq burger with fries. The burger was thick and topped with bacon, onion rings and bbq sauce on a Brioche bun. The burger was delicious. In addition, the battered fries were perfectly cooked and seasoned. They were crispy and not too much salt. The tenderloin was good. The breaded coating was well seasoned and accompaniments were fresh. The staff is welcoming, friendly and attentive. An event room is available for weddings or parties. There is a kids menu. The place is pristine. There is free street parking in front of the restaurant. Bookers is well worth the trip.
