I'm not sure what the sauce was, but I couldn't stop eating it! Then went with the Asian tacos with brisket. Very interesting combination of sauces and brisket. I added the vinegar based bbq sauce for even more yum! Ended with the key lime pie. Definitely different than I was expecting, but very solid none the less. I highly recommend this place! Go get you some!!

Eating here has made us decide we will never eat BBQ again!!…read more This was hands down the worst BBQ we have ever had and in the running for the worst food! The wings were burnt chunks on a plate. There was more burnt, dry skin and meat than edible meat! The ribs were pretty much the same. Drowning them in the sauce did nothing to make them better!! Served with lukewarm fries and below average other sides, there was nothing redeeming about our plates. The cornbread muffin was good...but it's just two bites.

This cafe is located in downtown Peoria at the twin towers? You will drive right past it if you…read moredon't know what you looking for. My brother found this on Google. I was surprised no one had this business on Yelp. Appreciated the service received and the recommendations offered. I come to Peoria I ften and seeing a soul food establishment finally is good. The location is interesting. It's unfortunate it's not in a more "inviting" space. Maybe it's when I cam, but there weren't any other establishments open cept for a barbershop, which I will come to next time. Now my brother wanted to try this place out because of the reviews on Google. The food was good? Hmmm, per my brother, the chicken was to oily. The catfish was nicely prepared. Just a SMIDGEN to much salt. The Mac n cheese was good. The greens were good per my brother and me since we both ordered it. Foot traffic was steady in the place.

We celebrated my wife's birthday at Saffron Social, and the entire evening was exceptional…read more The food was outstanding from beginning to end. The steak was excellent, the lobster ceviche was creative and delicious, the carpaccio was beautifully prepared, and the scallops were truly extraordinary. The bread pudding dessert was the perfect finish to an already remarkable meal. A special shout-out to the manager, Mike, who was incredibly gracious and welcoming, and to our waiter, Adrian, who was absolutely wonderful. Adrian was attentive, charming, knowledgeable, and a great conversationalist. He made us feel genuinely special and was a big part of what made the evening so memorable. I lived in Los Angeles for more than 40 years and have been fortunate enough to dine at many highly regarded restaurants in the U.S. and around the world. Saffron Social deserves to be noticed in that company. This was not simply a very good meal for Central Illinois, it was an exceptional dining experience by any standard. Most importantly, my wife had a wonderful birthday, and we talked about the meal the entire drive home. Saffron Social is absolutely a restaurant worth seeking out, and we are already looking forward to returning.

I'm still trying to figure out how you burn the outside while having the inside be mush. While the size is big, the bread was not the right choice to hold the meat, swipe of mashed potatoes, I assume it was supposed to be fried onion strings & the glob of bbq sauce. I really love a good meatloaf but this is one of those that leaves you regretting your life choices. Damn.

The kind of place Anthony Bourdain would love. Divey, real, everything people have posted honestly…read moreseems true. The meaty pie slice I had (with a couple Buffalo Trace bourbons - good combo) was hot, crispy, light on sauce, cheesy and delicious. Not a place to go if you're looking for upscale, high end, everything is perfect. Very real Peoria, just tell staff what you want/need and they'll take care of you - it's a bar, not a fancy joint. I sat at the bar and the guy making the pies/calzones cared about the quality and it showed. Not a corporate Applebees etc. operation but, honestly, who wants that all the time.

We also really liked it and ordered the ghee roast masala dosa, egg kothu parotta, and one other dish I cannot remember right now. We also got naan. Everything was so good - I love dosas and this one was delicious, and we also loved the egg kothu parotta. I would absolutely come back here if I was in Peoria and I would eat here more if this restaurant was in my city. It's also cute inside.

It was a busy friday Night…read moreso Becky and I sat at the Full Service Bar, which was smack in the middle of an old converted church (georgeous stained glass!). We started with a Hot German Pretzal with THICK cheddar cheese, and then each got an Illinois CLASSIC: the HORSESHOE!!! Becky said that the restaurant has the best kind of chrispy fries and her horseshoe was delicious! Mine was too. For desert, we got the GOOEY BUTTER CAKE, with vanilla ice cream. It was as sweet as Becky the night we met, but Becky stuck around a lot longer than this cake (LOL!). A scrumptious way to end the meal. We WILL be BACK!

Kiddie corner from Bradley's campus, this is a great place for families making a college visit to stop. I've been many, many times and on this latest Peoria trip stopped for both a breakfast and a dinner. We had great, quick service both times and delicious meals. I HIGHLY recommend the appetizer sampler platter, it is my favorite thing on the menu! A trio of great apps including a creamy spinach artichoke dip with warm bread, perfect pico de gallo with tortilla chips and fresh hummus with warm pita triangles. Perfect for sharing or just having as a meal honestly! We also love the Mac n cheese and burgers! For breakfast, I recommend the Belgium waffle- it is so good!! They have a variety of typical breakfast fare as well.

I got the thai chicken pizza and it was SO good. The hot honey was a little sweeter than I expected, however the jalepeno balanced it well. The hummus also was hands down one of the best I have ever had. Still thinking about it. The only reason I didn't give this place 5 stars was the service. Everything was fine until it came to pay. I don't know if our server disappeared or something but we waited 30-45 minutes to get our check which was semi-frustrating. Anyways, 10/10 food. Very unique. Very different. I recommend!!!
