My fiancée and I stopped in for brunch on Saturday, February 7, 2026. We live in the area and our curiosity was piqued every time we drove by. We were greeted by a friendly hostess who seated us at a table and handed us menus. Our waitress arrived and took our drink order. We ordered coffee and water. She inquired we wanted a cinnamon roll because they had a few left. We agreed and the coffee and cinnamon roll arrived soon after. The cinnamon roll was delicious. A lot for two people. Shortly after our breakfast arrived. It was quick. We dove in and ate everything on our plates. The food was definitely homestyle. Very tasty and delicious. The service was excellent. We will return in the future to try more of their food, read more

Peoria Café completely won us over. The food was hearty, comforting, and honestly way better than anything we've had at other restaurants lately. Let's chat about Annie. Oh, Annie!! She is the best server we've ever had, truly!! Friendly, kind, funny, and somehow reading the table like she has a sixth sense. Before we even ordered, she thanked us for supporting them -- which immediately made us want to order everything on the menu just to make her proud. She made us feel like VIP regulars even though it was our first time. If every restaurant had an Annie, the world would be a much happier (and better fed) place. We'll be back. read more

Peoria Café has the best grits I've ever had. They're super creamy, actually seasoned, and don't taste like plain mush like a lot of places serve. The café itself is simple and cozy, nothing fancy, just that local spot energy where the food hits and you feel comfortable right away. Honestly, good grits are hard to come by out here, and this place nailed it. I'd go back just for those alone. read more

This place definitely deserves a visit. My pregnant wife and I are new to the area, and still trying new local dining options to support our community. We visited this dinner on a Friday, I had their fish and chips (their Friday special) and my wife had the Philly cheesesteak with onion rings, we shared a waffle afterwards. I genuinely love the idea of their open kitchen and watching the chef cook our food. You can tell he loves his job and that itself reassured me we were going to get some good food. We got our money's worth for sure, the food portions were plenty and very delicious, and had leftovers to take home. You get a free refill on drinks. All and all, we were both happily full, and for sure excited to go back to try more from their menu. read more

Jenny is a remarkable server who always checked on us to see if we required anything, took orders with precision, and created a warm atmosphere that made us feel like part of the family. I would certainly return for Jenny's service. read more

I have been coming here for the better part of 30 years and I love this little family owned restaurant! Breakfast is always so good, lunches here never disappoint, and I just had the fish fry last night and it was amazing! Service is always so one point too. Perfect family- owned diner with a nice little "corner" location. Not too far off the 101 freeway, right down the street from downtown Peoria.... This is always my go to for weekend breakfast. read more

This place was great! We drive by all the time. The restaurant was super clean and our waitress was lovely. All of our food came out steaming hot, which was amazing! My husband was able to order a plate of wings for breakfast lol. He loved that! And I had an omelette, biscuits and gravy and a huge vat of cheesy grits!!! read more

The tables were clean and ready for your needs and the patrons were polite and friendly. Highly recommend this place! read more

If you go in the fresh baked cinnamon roll is a must! I ordered the croissant sandwich with hashbrowns and my husband ordered the French toast with bacon, but did not receive the bacon. He also ordered a side of eggs and a side of grits. The food its self was just okay, other than the cinnamon roll I would not eat what we ordered again. The service was great! We didn't wait at all for a table and food came out super fast! It's a large size restaurant and very clean. read more

FRIDAY FISH! Been here multiple times and always had great food and service. I will say for breakfast on the weekends it is always busy and loud. This time we ordered fish through door dash. The fish was amazing. Super white flaky huge pieces with a very light golden crispy coating. Tartar sauce was great. The coleslaw was perfect for me everyone is different on how they like coleslaw. I would say a little more coleslaw would have been appreciated cause it's so good. So so good. read more

I made an online pick up order and when I went in hostess was very rude telling me " YOU HAVE TO PICK UP YOUR ORDER OVER THERE" very rudely. The person that hand me the order was very rude. I'm not sure what it was the vibes in here were not it and I didn't even eat in there simply placed a pick up order. For the food not worth your money at all. NEVER AGAIN! read more

Wanted to try a local spot and have heard good things. The experience was ok, just very basic. Love supporting small local businesses, this place just won't be a regular for us. The food was ok. I personally did not like my hashbrowns, weren't cooked all the way. read more

Solid diner food, reasonably priced. It's not fancy but the portions are generous. Meatloaf and cheesesteak were good. Service was good. Ladies restroom needs some water poured down the J trap to clear the smell. read more

We got the veggie omelet. And the Mickey Mouse Pancake, it's such a good idea to get the kids interested in eating it. Both meals were delicious and staff was so kind read more

Tasteless fish nickel and dime you to death. .99 if you ask for lemon for your fish. They take food from customer who don't want certain thing and return it to kitchen to be reused. Seen this happen on two visits. Be careful what you ask for You'll be charged without being told. Tables sticky and dirty. A bit gross. read more

It does hit the mark! Chicken fried steak I recommend. Order the hash browns - the rest of the potatoes are mid. Needs some mimosas but 3 stars is decent woulda gave it a 3.5 if I had the option to read more

Local privately owned breakfast place. Service was great and food was good. Place was very busy - a good sign. Only issue was the place did not smell clean - almost like the 'dirty water' smell from a mop bucket. Not sure what it was but it was not good. read more

Great food and wonderful service. Loved Jenny and will definitely come back. The omelette is huge! The biscuits were way bigger than expected. Couldn't eat it all. read more

If your after impeccable vibes, great food, and amazing service you've found the right spot. Hard to find good diner food anywhere outside of the East Coast and Peoria Cafe has carefully cultivated their menu, and experience over decades providing exactly that. Although not much has changed over the years we have been coming here, that's a great thing and rare to have a staff and community so strong after so many years. We are here literally every weekend with our grandparents and it can get busy but is ALWAYS worth the wait (which is a testament to how amazing their food is) If you want to walk right in it's a bit less crowded during the week! 10/10 and I have never had a bad meal here. Highly recommend the cinnamon roll (when it's not sold out) Philly Cheesesteak(best outside of Philadelphia) Menudo, and Cowboy. read more

Service was really good.I had the philly cheese steak, which was awesome. My fries seemed burnt and a little old like they sat out for a bit. We'll definitely go back. Nice little diner, not open very long. We went right before the lunch rush, I would suggest you do the same. read more

My wife and I had breakfast there and it was excellent! My wife ordered the french toast and was very happy because they did not put cinnamon in the french toast like most restaurants do these days. Our server Jenny did a marvelous job - very attentive and friendly. 5 stars! read more

The food never disappoints but today's service from Jenny was top tier. I had the red menudo and it was perfect for Saturday morning.

WTH?? Since the new owner took over things have not changed for the better. They took away the rewards program for loyal customers!, They no longer offer to go cups for beverages. This should be a given here in this hot climate. They have the jelly containers full of Grape jelly. That is because nobody likes this crap. Strawberry, orange marmalade, blackberry should be available. There is a reason those jelly things are always full of grape. NOBODY eats it!! It really does not matter what you write in these reviews because the owner does not even check any of them. LOL They are lucky that the cooks are still putting out good food. The server staff seems to be an endless revolving door of servers. read more

Good food. Prices too high for a "paper napkin" diner. Here's why I'll never patronize them again.... after getting my coffee cup refilled (2nd cup) I got a phone call that required me to leave at once. I asked the server to please pour my remaining coffee in a "to go", styrofoam cup. Her response was that I would be charged additionally for the cup. Like .75.... read more

Everything I ever get from there is just so good. There is more than enough food to last for two days. Always hot and fresh I love this place. read more

My food was good no complaints on that. I was in a time crunch so I did not address this at the restaurant; however, I do feel it needs addressing. My receipt shows that I paid $6 for a side of fries. There was no price on the menu so I didn't know what to expect. The price one their online menu is $3.99. I looked at various items on the menu and guessed fried should be $3-4. I was SHOCKED to see $6.00. The only thing that was $6 that I could see were different meats. A salad was $5.49. Home fries I think were $3.99. Sorry but I think you are not being fair to customers with this pricing. read more

The abiance was relaxed and friendly, a good mix of people of all ages. I liked that I was seated promptly and my order was taken and good was served fast! Overall, I enjoyed my visit and look forward to visiting again soon. read more

Food was very expensive for what we got. Beans were not salted and obviously from a can. Scrambled eggs were greasy balls of eggs. Menudo wasn't the right price on menu, we expected 12.99 from menu and it was 15 a bowl for the small. The small! I will be eating home and opening a can for 5 bucks in the future . No thanks Peoria cafe. read more

The eggs were nasty. Over cooked. I had the biscuits and gravy didn't eat the eggs and hand fries. My server took care of me and made it straight. Thank you read more

This was our first time here after family members recommended it to us. Great menu choices, I ordered the Cowboy which was a country fried steak with hash browns, eggs and toast. It was pretty good! We also ordered a freshly made cinnamon roll, they are pretty big and it came out still warm from the oven. The service was great, our waitress stayed on top of our drinks and made sure we were good. Would definitely come back. read more
