Review Visit: October 29th, 2012…read more Chick-fil-A will Chick-fil-you-up. Living in the Central Illinois area, Chick-fil-a was only available via commercials and advertisements (or long drives). Luckily, the day came where the one in Peoria was built and opened it's doors to customers. Erin, Matt and I stopped in after a day exploring Bloomington-Normal and we were famished. It was a first for all of us and we were excited to try out the place that has rave reviews and good word-of-mouth. We luckily got to Chick-fil-a when there wasn't a long line in the drive thru or a packed lobby. Busy, yes, but not uncomfortably so. This place was swamped with people for months after it opened. We must've gotten extremely luckily with our timing. In the years since this visit, I still remember how incredible delicious the food here is. I don't remember what we all ordered but we all loved with what we got. That I do remember. The chicken sandwich was just what I needed after dragging my friend and girlfriend around Bloomington-Normal for the afternoon. I ended up coming back in 2018 with another friend who never had it and it was every bit as delicious as it was back in late-2012. I typically keep my reviews of nationwide chains short (barring some crazy story to share) due to many factors and this one is no exception. All there is to say about Chick-fil-a is that it is incredibly delicious chicken at a decent price. My only critique is that it leaves you wanting more after you finish your meal. Its that good.

Review Visit: September 14th, 2014…read more Thems some dang good biscuits. After exploring the The Nina and The Pinta boats that were anchored in Peoria, we needed some grub. I asked my dad if he had any specific place he wanted to try. He said he did not. I asked if he wanted to check out Popeye's and that's where we ended up going. It was a new eating experience for us both as Popeye's have just started to pop up in Central Illinois. I typically don't review big chains but I make the exception if they are new to the area. Popeye's is a fast food chicken slinging place. You order your food at the counter and either get it to go or dine in. We opted to dine in as we had the afternoon free. Plus, dining in is part of the experience. We both stuck with a standard combo since we didn't know what to expect. Our combos were fairly basic: chicken, fries, and sides. I opted for some coleslaw and a biscuit to accompany my main food. The place was a bit busy and we did end up waiting awhile for our food to come out. Frying chicken has to take a bit longer to cook than your usual fast food offerings. The wait was to be expected as the restaurant was new and still had that busyness to it that comes with any new place that opens. At long last, our food came out and it looked tasty and smelled delicious. It was about the halfway point through our meal that we broke the silence and said the same thing. This wasn't really worth it. Its not to say the food was awful. Its just that everything tasted so... bland? The chicken tasted like nothing despite the breading. There was a definite lack of spices in the batter or something like that. The french fries were alright, if not a bit soggy for my tastes. Again, that is just a personal preference on the fries. The coleslaw was forgettable but I feel that way about coleslaw in general. Its a side dish I like but not one I ever crave. Again, personal preference there. So, was any of this meal good? Yes. The biscuit of all things. Somehow that biscuit, despite being a bit dry as biscuits usually are, packed a ton of flavor in the puck-shaped baked goodness. I'm not a biscuit lover by any means but this place had me reconsidering that. The thing was just dripping (metaphorically) in butter-y flavor. I strongly debated getting one to go until I saw the line at the counter. We did finish the meal and sat there a little bit longer as we let the food settle. While we sat there, we discussed the cool ships we saw earlier in the afternoon and made some small talk about the lack of enthusiasm we had for our meal. We left and that was our experience. But was that my only experience with Popeye's? Nope. Going a bit off the usual path, I have been back many times with my friend Tim. He loves this place and will pick it as a lunch spot when we hang out. My experience with Popeye's has stayed pretty much the same since my first visit. Their food is just okay with the exception of two things. Their biscuits are my weakness and their new chicken sandwich, in my opinionated opinion, was awesome. I did eventually try it after the hype wore off and it was no longer a matter of life and death trying to order it. That chicken sandwich was seriously one of my favorites. The staff at the Popeye's Tim and I visit (we've visited multiple) do leave a lot to be desired. Each time we've gone, we've gotten less than the bare minimum effort from those working. It seems like none of them want to be there and doing their job is a painful process. We've never had an issue with our food but it does sully the experience when it feels like you are the biggest inconvenience in the world. The last two paragraphs don't factor in to my score but it is something to keep in mind if you are wanting to try Popeye's. I would revise the score to a 2 based on the poor customer service we receive when we go. No amount of love for their biscuits or the chicken sandwich can excuse the attitudes from the staff.

While Steak and Shake was started in Normal...the 2nd Steak and Shake was placed here alongside the Illinois River. The original SS in East Peoria sat about 100 yards from the current SS. A few years ago they tore down the originalEast Peoria SS and built this one. Most every SS is uniform in shape and size, but this is the largest SS! It features over twice the dining space as ordinary SS's. When the weather is nice out this SS features outside dining with a great overlooking view of the Illinois River If you have never been to a SS, it is kinda closest to diner fare. Very good burgers made in plain site on a large flat grill. Milkshakes made from real hard ice cream and some of the best chili this side of Cincinnati. Of course that's most peoples opinion. The food here is average for a SS. I've had pretty good luck with the service. Just depends on the time of night. Being they are open 24/7 and right across the river from downtown Peoria, it can get real busy between 12-3am. Overall I like this particular SS and it stands out as being a bit different from most other SS's you may encounter.

Placed order to go and there was a request to tip!!!! WHY???? This was to go and there was no special service that required it... All employees are already paid full min wage plus. So giving them a tip.... they do not claim it.... I did anyway because I do not want any issues with my order, you would understand if you watched "Waiting" and "Waiting 2"....

Shredding the patties like they were to be loose meat instead of fully formed. One had bacon and it fell off when transitioning to dressing station. It lost one piece on the floor and the other was caught on the stainless steel. The one on the floor was left and never replace so someone else who paid for a tip got screwed.... I get my order.... I ordered a Frisco meal deal.... They left my fries out.... I pointed it out and said " This is what I get for pre tipping you all?".... I got no answer.... I did get the fries shortly.... They were luke warm.... Went to get my soda.... Wanted RootBeer..... out..... Went to other machine....out.... Got a sprite and left.... Get home...Sandwiches not dress according to my instructions. Missing tomatoes and pickles. I ordered chilli.... Absolutely no spoon or crackers no ketchup for fries.... I sent a complaint in 3 days ago.... No reply. Nothing....
