The service is outstanding, and our server was clearly interested in how we liked the food. We ordered a reuben with fries, chocolate chip pancakes, scrambled eggs, bacon and hashbrowns. The reuben was outstanding, with carrot in the clearly home-made sauerkraut. The chocolate chip pancakes were phenomenal as well, and the fries were very fresh and crispy. You know how most menu items today inspire a sort of "Wish it were cheaper" thought? Everything on the menu at Mike's is priced exactly what I would expect. Sandwiches are around the $5 to $10 range, and side items are reasonable. Some of the chain joints are charging $20+ for a burger now, and Mike's is under $9. Truly good food for a truly good price.

Now that their liquor license is in place, 'PopUp kingdom' has a great new flagship location in the…read moreheart of the Peoria baseball stadium/warehouse district. And we highly recommend a visit, especially if you are familiar with the brand! Like the BloNo location there are at least two entrances - the one further west is for a good sized hosting/ordering/waiting area while the one closest to the ballpark has more direct access to the bar area, but is way more space-restricted and will likely be a traffic jam on game days. If you're looking for a table, both entrances open to the rest of the cool 'industrial chic' dining areas in the form of a large street-level open concept dining area and a good sized split-level (up 3-4 steps) back room - which despite having wide entrances that make it feel part of the larger space, likely can easily be cordoned-off for private functions. One visit in and the lady and I (plus our friend and former Ptown bartender) can say that the food was every bit the same top-quality, large portion, methodically cooked and creatively accented sandwiches and wraps, served in old school pie pans with red-white check paper liners, that we are used to. The weekend special shaved ribeye Cali burrito was particularly epic, cementing what seems to be the first of the 3 or 4 things that keep the crowds coming back. The second thing is the creativity and discernment applied to bar side - in the form of the beer menu, which is initially focused on bottles/cans since they just received the liquor license the day before our arrival. Despite this there was a good mix of 'domestics' and at least 20 quality craft options from 6 or 8 fantastic breweries representing a good variety of styles but leaning like those at the original location - that is, a few more IPAs and 'sweet sours'. They also maintain a thoughtful and inventive cocktail list and will NO DOUBT start building up the whiskey/bourbon collection in the coming weeks. Although having high quality and fairly compensated employees helps immensely, the last thing that really drives their business is something we often say three times - location... In this case, it's literally less than a block from home plate. Easy to find. Easy to love. We'll certainly be back!

Seeing the constant influx of customers right at supper time told me this place has to be good. Everything is sold separately and they have a little bit of something for everyone. This had to be the best chicken in town. Crispy outside and juicy Inside makes for a great tender (or tendo as they call them), these come with some of the best pickles and toast. Honestly, I could probably have used a few more pickles but that's me. You can choose your heat level too. The potatoes with dill were so good! Portions are decent too. I saw someone leaving with what looked like a milkshake that I'm getting next time. It looked like the perfect way to cool off on there hot summer days. I think I'll have to try a burger next time.

We were excited to try Kuchie's On The Water for the first time, but unfortunately it was a…read moredisappointing experience from start to finish. My husband ordered the Jambalaya Mac & Cheese 'without the crab'. The server never mentioned that the dish was pre-mixed or that omitting the crab wasn't possible. When our food arrived, she set down a Lobster Mac & Cheese instead. My husband hates lobster, so there would have been no reason for him to ask for "no crab" if that was what he wanted. When he pointed out the mistake, our server, Kris, initially argued with him instead of fixing her mistake. She eventually took it back, but it was another 20 minutes before his meal arrived. By then, I had already finished eating, so we weren't able to enjoy our meal together. I also had an issue with my Hawaiian Chicken Sandwich. Because of a medical condition, I can't eat the bun, so I cut the chicken up and eat it with a fork. That turned out to be nearly impossible because the restaurant only provides plastic forks and knives. While struggling to cut the chicken, my entire plate ended up in my lap. Kris didn't seem very familiar with the menu, and the overall service left a lot to be desired. Everyone has an off day, but for a first visit this wasn't a good impression and they weren't busy at the time. Between the incorrect order, the long wait to fix it, and the lack of proper utensils, we left disappointed and will probably choose somewhere else next time.

My wife enjoyed the chicken but the breading fell off the chicken! The tenders are homemade. The chicken tenderloin had delicious thin white meat chicken but the breading was overwhelming. The potato salad is mustard based and really good! The chunks of potatoes are a good size. The tater tots are your standard tots. The fries are basic frozen crinkle cut. The salad bar is nothing fancy just basics with French and ranch dressing. The salad bar does have coleslaw, apple sauce, banana pudding, and potato salad. Overall we liked the ambience and the vibes here. Good spot for a breakfast or lunch,
