    Pearlys diner has a delicious menu particularly the BREAKFAST BURRITO! Located currently in downtown peoria as a food truck for breakfast and lunch with plans on making it a permanent spot in downtown peoria - which is so desperately needed in the area. It's right next to driftwood coffee and they support each others business . Camaraderie is great and hope this business continues to thrive

    I ordered chicken and waffles. The waffles were overcooked/burned. I was not pleased with the 3 dinners.

    This place is great! I had breakfast here twice in one week. The first time I tried the biscuits…read moreand gravy, and on my second visit I ordered the chicken fried steak. Both meals were outstanding. I haven't had chicken fried steak of this caliber in a long time. The coating stays perfectly crisp and doesn't fall off like it does at most places. It was so good that even when I was full, I felt obligated to finish it--I didn't want to disrespect the chef by leaving any behind. Service can be a little slow at times, but that's mainly because the place is always busy. You can tell many of the customers are regulars; the staff greets them as soon as they walk in and asks how they've been. It gives the restaurant a very welcoming, neighborhood feel. I definitely recommend this place!

    Seeing all the 5-star reviews gave my wife and me high hopes for this place, but unfortunately it…read moredidn't live up to expectations. We ordered the combination platter, chicken parmesan, and the super burger, along with a side of fries, two lemonades and coleslaw. Be aware, it's on the pricier side, especially once you add drinks (we didn't get refills), and the burger doesn't come with fries, you have to order those separately. As for the food, the super burger was subpar, it honestly tasted like something you'd get cheaper from Burger King. The combination platter was pretty plain and a bit greasy, the fries and coleslaw were nothing special, and the chicken parmesan was just an unbreaded chicken breast with very little flavor. Overall, not the experience we were hoping for.

    I swear to God, this is such an odd place! The dichotomy between old and young still perplexes me…read more The majority of the clientele is elderly....think 80+. The majority of the employees (the servers, at least) are 25 and under. Plus, this place gives off Greek restaurant vibes, like the kind where you can get a gyro, spaghetti, or chow mein all in the same place: jack of all, master of none. You think it's all going to be tasteless food, but you would be oh so wrong. Mom and dad (80+, but with it) ordered liver and onions, I got an open faced turkey sandwich, and hubs got country fried sirloin. Everyone agreed that their food was delicious. I can't speak to the others, but for me, the turkey was moist, not dry, and the gravy (which they drenched over my turkey without asking, thank you very much) had really good seasoning to it...not overly peppery like at most places. The mashed potatoes were soft, not chunky, my side of corn was very buttery and NOT served in a bowl of corn water, and my cranberries were from a can (THE BEST KIND, and yes I WILL FIGHT YOU on this). We all ordered pie for dessert and I should have went with everyone else and gotten Key Lime, but I chose cherry. It wasn't the greatest of flavor as, even though there were real cherries in it, it was predominantly cherry flavored goo. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised, and I would come here again. But only with my parents, because I think hubs and I were the only people under 60, lol. 10/2026

    Quantity for the price, 3 sides most entrees…read more Slow service even though the place wasn't more than 25% full. Another credit card fee restaurant on our do not do business with list. You have to read your check to find out after eating. I am tired of the tone and attitude I get when I call out the above. They don't like paying a service fee? Well, I don't like paying a service fee with a tip.
