This is a staple must go when we are in Peoria. Our friends started going every time they were…read morethere and invited us since it's the first time traveling with them. The restaurant was able to accommodate our party of 20 as we sat outside with live music going on. We were the last to get there as we came from an event at the convention center. I noticed they had gotten the same waitress as they had the last time. She was awesome and was on top of everyone's orders and refills. I ordered the shepherds pie and it's the best one I've ever had. The flavors were very comforting and had depth to it. I also love the amount they serve. It was a lot for me but the value was great. This is definitely added to our list when in Peoria.

The food was mid. I had fish and chips and it was pretty bland. The menu selection wasn't the best.read more

It has an ambiance all its own. Are the faded plastic tablecloths nostalgic or tacky? I'm going with nostalgic. I enjoy grilling my own food but they will cook it to your order if you wish. The Texas Toast is so good! I don't know how or why but it is the absolute Texas Toast to be found. There is a good selection of entrées to choose from. Sides are excellent and the salad bar is always fresh. The beets are my favorite, even people who claim that they don't like beets enjoy Alexander's beets. The homemade salad dressings are so good! My favorite is thousand island. Service is very good. I only wish I had room for dessert tonight. The skillet cookie is what dreams are made of.

I had the lamb with green beans and my guest had prime rib with baked potato. We both had chicken soup. Our meal were very delicious and we enjoyed the experience. My tip is to arrive early, we got to the restaurant at 5 pm and the place filling up. Another option is to make a reservation.

Kinda small, not busy, but the waitress was extremely friendly and pleasant to talk to. I ordered the roast chicken..everything looked great, but the chicken was really tough (and no steak knife to use to cut it). The carrots were still really stiff...not cooked all the way through. The potatoes are definitely homemade and really good. My dad got the salmon and cleared his place with ease...he must have enjoyed it. And his girlfriend got the mushroom risotto and ate all but two bites, so I'm sure she likes her's too.

Often times, French onion soup tastes too salty and this one was a little more bland, could've used some more onion but I would 100% order again. For my main course, I got the ribeye with a baked potato and asparagus. The ribeye had SOOOO much flavor, I loved it!!!! I actually think it was bigger than what I ordered but I was okay with that, leftovers! Asparagus was perfectly cooked as well, with just the right amount of flavor. Service-wise, our server was brand new so she had to go back to the kitchen several times to ask questions. It was not busy when we got there, so we didn't mind.

We tried a few different appetizers (spicy green beans are a new favorite)... but I don't think I've ever been out with a group that was 100% satisfied and surprised (all around)...
