    Review Visit: September 22nd, 2015 3 points for delicious pizza. Out of bounds for late night zaniness. Hoops. Hoops is quite the odd place. It's on Main Street in Peoria, so it's easily accessible. They are open until 5:30am. They serve many types of liquor, beer and varieties of pizza. They have available space upstairs. The pizza itself is super delicious. Lots of positives and now, the negatives. Do not come here after the sun goes down. Stuff gets weird. I've been here many times since turning 21 (back in 2008). There are cops always parked next to the building since there is always something going wrong in the general area at night. The clientele goes from business/normal people during the day to the odd ones at night. This one time, a bunch of my friends and I were there and this lady stops by our table and is convinced my friend is her nephew. So she offers to buy us food and drinks and just continues to increase her creep level. Getting really close and touchy-feely. Creeped us all out to no end. We booked it to Richard's as soon as she went to the bathroom. She makes an appearance in the slideshow below, if you are curious about her. I just don't know what it is about that location that does a 180 after the sun goes down. It's a great 'by the slice' pizza place though. So if you go, make sure it's for lunch or an early dinner. Unless you want a free show of something always getting weird.

    What a find. Across the street from the Marriott downtown. Great vibe and service. Got a Long Island best ever. It is small and very busy. The pizza was awesome but in Central Illinois we cut out pizza in squares. A must try.

    So... This place surprised me to the core! Hole in the wall bar with the FRESHEST salad I've ever had, CHEESIEST calzones, and a twice baked spaghetti that took me bake home. This was wonderful food! I encourage anyone to give this place a try.

    Salad is fire. Eat it with their ranch. They make it themselves good stuff! I've been to Hoops a few times before visiting today I tried nachos and salad just know one order is big enough to feed 3 people!!! They are huge. Sister tried the Philly cheese sandwich said it was good! Meatball sandwich is what my niece got she said it wasn't very good. Over all experience was good!

    Hoops is a Peoria staple. It's not fine dining and probably not going to be the best pizza you've ever had...but it is REALLY good and its reliably good everytime. It's always served hot and pretty quick, great quality ingredients, always cooked perfect, affordable and generous portions. They run good drink specials (and week day pizza specials) and there isn't one thing on the menu that isn't delicious. They don't get the respect they deserve for their italian beef sandwich...if you haven't tried it I highly recommend it. Hands down the best homemade ranch dressing in Peoria also! My picks...italian beef nachos (hold the lettuce), pizza (duh), pigs in blankets, italian beef sandwich and stromboli.

    Calzone

    This place is great dive bar in downtown Peoria. Open later than I will ever see. Bar with probably 10 stools and probably 10 tables. They serve pizza by the slice as well as a full menu. Value prices. Friendly staff. Lots of bottle selection and full bar. Probably 6 on tap . Right across the street from the Marriott and one block to the Civic Center. Love finding these by chance..... Just saw it when I checked in and said.... Yep..... My kind of place...Wish I was on the corner in my neighborhood.

    Pig in a blanket and 1/3rd Stromboli!!

    Great hole in the wall kind of spot where you can get a decent slice. Open for lunch.

    Meeting an old friend for lunch in Peoria, and Weaver's seemed like a decent option. It was more…read more At lunchtime on Monday, the place was busy, but we were still seated immediately. We ended up staying there talking for a couple of hours to catch up, and the staff was friendly and accommodating. While there are lots of great options on the menu, both of us chose the BPT - Breaded Pork Tenderloin. I've eaten a lot of breaded pork tenderloins in my time, but none like this one. The usual approach is super thin and huge, making the bun look tiny. While this one wasn't much larger than the bun, it was at least an inch thick, so it was more like eating a fried pork chop sandwich, but with the meat tenderized. The meat was well-seasoned and very flavorful, and the crust was extra-crispy and crunchy. The Honey-Lime sauce (one of three sauces brought to each table along with Ranch and Tyler's Sauce) is delicious and worked great with the pork. Fries were good, as was the cole slaw (which had a nice kick from some very freshly-ground black pepper). And I'm always happy when a place has Guinness on tap.

    We were visiting from out of town and wanted to try a local place and had heard great things about…read moreWeaver's. From the get go the atmosphere was great, there was a short queue (but it was a Friday night, so it's to be expected), but we were quickly shown to our table. Our server was Connor, who was great from the start and was very flexible with our large group who had a few dietary preferences/requirements. One of our favorite things about the menu is the focus on utilizing local businesses and serving their products. As most locals know Bill's Lemon Shake Ups are a staple in the region so when I saw that on the menu I had to go for that, and with multiple flavor choices I was excited to try. I ended up settling for the tenderloin sandwich, but I was certainly interested to try a lot of the menu. The amount of pork was HUGE and it was flavorful and paired with the honey lime sauce it was a 10/10! The bun alone was phenomenal, and I couldn't recommend this meal enough if you are a schnitzel or tenderloin fan! That sauce is definitely a star of the show, paired with the sweet heat seasoning available at the table next to the S&P the meal was the perfect combination of sweet, spice and tasty! Everyone else enjoyed their meals as well and there was little left by the end. The nachos were customized to account for a dietary preference so this is not the standard, however they were delicious and a huge portion. The pizza was thin crust and was excellent too, so no notes across the board. Thanks once again to Connor for accommodating us and being so patient with our party. You can also purchase any of the three major sauces that they have in house, so I proceeded to buy the honey lime which we'll be enjoying for the next few weeks, if it makes it that long!
