    Everything I ordered.

    Ordered 1/2 LB burger and cheese cube's they were amazing. And they came out fast. The bartender is always cool here. There always seems to be a spot to sit at the bar. Always the most random conversations going on here.

    The catfish fingers here are great! We came to this Irish pub with a large group--13 of us, I believe--& went away very satisfied. My favorite item was the fried catfish appetizer. They were lightly battered & delicious. Others in our group had high praise for the fish & chips. I was not as happy with my ahi tuna poke.

    Happy 60th Karen!

    The firepit is the centerpiece here. I dig it. Especially if you want to just hang for a drink or few with friends. The service was good, as long as you're willing to flag the servers down. There's a bar outside and one inside....so you're not far from a drink. The fire makes this place for me. The food I can take or leave...reg pub grub.

    Pretty good staff. Food was ok. Nachos are HUGE. Prices seem a bit high but it is a friendly place.

    Food was OK, the waitress we had was horrible. Very standoffish when we walked in and the service was SLOW!

    Took forever to get waited on. Took forever for "cheap bar food". Nice atmosphere! Maybe back for a drink but no more than that.

    In the past, we had went out for their English breakfast. It took forever to get food. Went out…read morewithin the last 30 days and to complete turnaround! Waitress was attentive, food was served promptly cooked, wonderfully, and served hot off the grill. Best meal I have ever had there! I don't know why the complete turnaround that really had a wonderful time!

    Review Visit: February 13th, 2018…read more What does the Fox say? Arrroooooooo (in a British Accent)! What does that translate to? It's a bit long-winded, so bear with me. *In a British accent* "Hello, savvy reader. If you love some good British food and are in the central Illinois region, The Fox is right up your alley." "Their entire menu is British-themed and so is the pub. While the pub itself isn't overloaded with British things, you can tell it's got a British vibe while not being too gauche." "The food is delectable. Exquisite." "Mmmm, yes." Wow, the fox had a lot to say! Do I agree with the Fox? Yes. My friends and I came here and loved every bit of it. The service was fantastic and the place felt welcoming and friendly. I ordered the Chipotle Beefeater Brisket and it was phenomenal. We sampled my friends Hummus and while I am not big on hummus, we all agreed it was great. Everyone gushed over how great their food was. Another perfect example that bar/pub food is the best food. I sadly didn't get a ton of photos as I was focused on hanging out with my friends. I will snap a few more the next time I go. Be aware that if you do visit that they have Trivia on Thursdays nights. We tried to come here on one of those nights and it was packed and they suggested we come back another time due to it being too busy. So if you need your Bangers and Mash or Fish and Chips fix and are in the Peoria area, this is the perfect place for you.

    I recently booked a work dinner reservation for 15 and the hostess was easy and pleasant to talk…read moreto. The reviews from the guests were that the dinner and service was perfect! Being a waitress in my 20's, I know how a big party can be a struggle. The reason I picked Thyme was due to some dietary restrictions. Thyme serves all. I recommend Thyme for business meeting lunches and dinners. Make a reservation ahead of time so they can accommodate your needs. Love to see old buildings brought back to life, Thyme, in the old Sealtest building, sits in the warehouse district of downtown Peoria. The eclectic atmosphere is inviting. The food is traditional yet exotic, yet farm to table, yet mysterious! We eat with our eyes, then smell, then taste. Good job Thyme!

    This was our second time here. The first visit went off without a hitch, food was good and service…read moreequally good. Second time coming back we brought the in-laws from our home town in Arizona. Keep in mind we are new here and excited to embrace this new city and all its food places just like this. It was a Tuesday night and they were busy, not so busy that we had to wait for a table, we got right in. The blond girl that was to be our server came to take our drink order. I was on the fence for a few items so I asked the server, "When the cooks in this place get a moment to themselves to enjoy a dish, which is it they usually get?" She assured me without a doubt it was not the burger I was comparing but the duck reuben. Being a fan of both duck and Reuben's I was like, " oh hell yeah, sign me up". So I replied I'll have the Reuben, mom got meatloaf, dad got the burger, wife got the poke bowl. We had a few drinks enjoyed each other's company and then our appetizers came, the cheese curds!! Holy smokes these were legit the star of the evening! If you go I recommend these! Our food came out after and we began to eat. This is the point it went south! The server all but vanished. Usually you can't get a bite in before your asked how is it? Well we needed silverware, napkins, salt and pepper, basic accoutrements. Nobody came. My Reuben..... BORING!! This was the smallest plate of food I've ever seen. The duck was overcooked and dry, there was not a good ratio of slaw to dressing to duck and it was lacked all the way around. I was hoping to ask for some more dressing to bring some life to it but the server never came. Mom wanted salt and pepper for her meatloaf, but the server never came. Finally I was able to get S&P from a busser! The poke bowl was kinda a joke as well, huge bowl of rice and peas and about 3 or 4 small bits of tuna. It was good but not balanced and completely underwhelming. Folks are boomers so yeah considering mom needed to help meatloaf says a lot. But still no server! Finally she came back with the bill. At which point I had to mention that this was by far the WORST Reuben I have EVER had!! She giggled. I said SERIOUSLY, that was wack AF, and you never came back to check on us so I couldn't even attempt a save by dousing it in dressing! She ignored that and disappeared, yup the shitty Reuben was still there on the bull and nobody cared! Moral of the story, you're gonna gamble here. I would love to try again but when you can get a Reuben at One World that blows it out of the water EVERYTIME for a fraction of the price I would second guess giving your money to this business. Bummer, I love the building, I love the ice cream factory throw back! And the ambience is super nice! Service and portioning need a lot more investigation. Hey owner this is your queue!! Make a positive change here.
