This place 520 has become our family breakfast on Saturday mornings when we visit. The place is always busy. Sometimes we gotta wait on a table but they usually move pretty quick. On thus trip I talked to the owner as I was paying and told him how good everything was and how far we drove and had to drive home. Oscar is his name and is a great guy. As I was paying he fiddled with the register and as he gave me my change he slipped me a gift card. I was kinda taken back a little and we talked a little more then I went back to the table to finish our coffee to get ready to leave. I got to say the staff here is spot on. Never did we want for anything. The food was great and coffee was delicious. So we pack up the kids and go out to the cars to transfer bags and luggage when I turn around and here comes Oscar the owner. Evidently I dropped the card he had given me. He came right out and we talked a little more to the point I feel we made new friends with each other. I totally recommend eating here. You won't be disappointed. Bring your kids and family and enjoy a great home style breakfast. It's great!

We had the West Coast Benedict which came on a bed of hash browns topped with over easy eggs, hollandaise, bacon, and avocado slices, plus a sweet cinnamon roll bread on the side. Everything was perfectly cooked and full of flavor. I also had the avocado toast without egg and loved the side of fresh fruit. It made for a quick, healthy, and satisfying breakfast. The coffee was good and the staff was friendly and attentive. The place feels welcoming and full of life with families laughing and staff greeting regulars. The space is clean with cozy country style decor and a laid back vibe. There are two entry points for lining up and plenty of parking. It is right next to a walking trail if you want a stroll after that delicious meal. Came for breakfast but the lunch and dinner menu looks worth coming back for.

A Peoria native referred us to this breakfast restaurant so of course we had to try. There was a 15…read moreminute wait for a table. The hostess added my phone number to the list and we were seated after receiving a text. I ordered the On the Border skillet over seasoned potatoes, scrambled eggs and a side of pancakes. My meal was seasoned well and the salsa added a fresh element to the skillet. My husband ordered the Denver omelette with potatoes and pancakes. He's a harsh pancake critic but he gave these a great rating and I agree! Our food came very fast after ordering. I love that the establishment is on the smaller side; It gave a cozy, down home feel.

We said no, and she told us to sit, saying she wondered why we were "just standing there." While ordering, she was impatient, didn't make eye contact, and gave off a rude demeanor the entire time. When paying, she was holding on to the tablet which had a 20% tip pre-selected, we changed it to $1 due to the poor service. As we were leaving, she came outside, yelled for us to never come back, and flipped us off. We were polite the whole time, so this was shocking and uncalled for. Terrible customer service. Clearly caters to regulars, not new customers.

Not located on a corner but busy nonetheless…read more As I get back to exploring and the crazy of the world settles down, it's also time to try new items and popular favorites. My girlfriend and I were wanting breakfast and I was asking around what sounded and looked good. She suggested Busy Corner and I had thought she meant Cobbler Corner. Nope, there is a Busy Corner and a Cobbler Corner in Pekin. We showed up around 9am and it was still busy with the breakfast crowd. I guess this is why it's called Busy Corner. We parked in what appears to be a closed business' parking lot next door and headed in. Upon entering, I was shocked at how open the place is. With it being so busy, I didn't feel it was appropriate to take a photo from the entrance but trust me when I say that the dining floor is a square room with nothing but tables and chairs. A hostess (or something) came out from the back and nodded at an empty table for us to sit at. We grabbed the seat along the right wall and were given menus. Emily gave me a rundown of what she knew on the menu and her experiences here. She ordered her usual John Wayne breakfast skillet thing. I noticed a Bacon Waffle on the menu and debated on if it was a waffle that came with bacon or a waffle with bacon in it. Our waitress cleared the air on what it was when it came time to order. Can you guess what I ordered? BACON WAFFLE! It's a waffle with bacon in it. What a fun novelty. It took a little while for the food to come out due to how busy it was. Once it came out, I was impressed with how well the waffle looked with bacon in it. Emily's meal that the Duke loves looked just as good. I grabbed the syrup and poured a ton of syrup on both sides. I dug in and have to say this novelty of a meal is just that. I'm no food snob or professional but after a few bites, I knew the type of bacon they used didn't mesh with the waffle mix at all. I believe it was a hickory-type bacon used and it didn't go well at all with the generic waffle mix. Despite that, it wasn't bad at all. I put the whole thing down and each bite was just a confusing taste of bacon and waffle that tasted separately with each bite. Due to some recent food allergies, I had to decline the butter that came on the waffle. Maybe that would help bind the flavors together? While the flavor was odd, the portion size was huge. It was nearly as big as the plate it was served on and with my voracious appetite, I had only the waffle and the filled me up until early afternoon (and a whole front/back yard mow). Emily couldn't finish her John Wayne breakfast and had to take half home with her. As for why this place as a meal named or based on The Duke or John Wayne, I am at a loss to explain why. Maybe it's mentioned on the menu and I somehow overlooked it or maybe it's just a known fact... I will never know. If you know and want to share, leave a comment below. I had mentioned this place was an empty square. This works for jamming in as many tables as you can but also causes some slight claustrophobia-like feel because your neighbor sits a bit closer than a normal restaurant. With that in mind, it does make having a conversation a bit difficult due to everyone's voice filling the room. I repeatedly had to go 'huh?' 'what?' more so than normal. But... I'm glad my initial skepticism was extinguished once we sat down and had our food. Just goes to show that you can't judge a book by it's cover.

Emily and I dropped in around 10am to a pretty busy cafe. The baristas were super friendly and patient while we placed our orders. I got my usual americano with a monster cookie and Emily got their Campfire Cold Brew and lemon poppyseed jumbo muffin. We looked around for a place to sit and were lucky to get seats next to each other. This place isn't big so a few people can fill it up pretty quick. I think this used to be a post office and it definitely has the vibes of one, if it was. It took a bit longer, about 15 minutes, for our coffees to be ready. We were ready to sit and chill so the wait wasn't too bad but if you were in a rush, might be something to keep in mind. Any who, we had some delicious baked goods to keep us occupied until the drinks came out. I took a few sips of my americano and it unfortunately fell on the lighter side of how they can be made. While it was good, it was a bit light on the bitter that I like. Emily suggested I actually learn the style of americano I like and see if places can make it like that. But, Emily was also not the biggest fan of her drink, either. She wasn't a fan of the syrup they used in it and didn't like the aftertaste of it. We hung out until we were about halfway done with our drinks and long after our baked goods were devoured. I really liked the vibe of the place and got a really cool sticker of the store front but it looks like a stamp! One of the cooler stickers I've gotten out on my adventures. With there being three locations, I will no doubt drop in to another Eli's at some point. When I do, I will have to try out their other coffee offerings and maybe some of their delicious-looking food.

Our group was about 1/3 of the overall restaurant size (10 of us, i think they have capacity of 30.) Thankfully we had reservations and our group only had a small wait. Iris, the waitress was amazing. She learned all of our names to keep our orders straight, had no issue with individual bills (many places don't split it for 10) and kept us on our toes. The food was amazing. The kitchen managed all 10 orders well. Food came out hot , well timed and well flavored. The biscuits and gravy were my favorite, Home made biscuits, savory gravy with the perfect balance of spice and sausage. Next time I'll try the chorizo gravy. The Nutella french toast was good as well, just outshined by the biscuits and gravy. Around the table my friends had the horseshoe, crispy hasbrowns, benedicts and the Chicken Biscuit plate. All of it looked good and I can't wait to go back. It's truly a family-run joint and I recommend it.
