Dillinger's is located downtown Peru, Indiana. It is off the beaten US 24 path. You will find it…read morein a building that was probably built in the 1880's. Allegedly, in 1933, Dillinger robbed the near by police station of guns and ammo. Hence the name...Dillinger's Bar & Grill. Dillinger's is a smaller but wide open restaurant. An inviting bar is centrally located. The wooden floors, ceilings and hand-hued beams are probably original to 1880's business structure. The facility is simple and sports a lot of Dillinger references like the table tops. I found the team here to be very friendly and willing to serve. The menu is fairly large with lots of Dillinger coded menu items to choose from. The prices were very reasonable with decent portion sizes (i.e. no highway robbery here lol). We started with the onion rings. They had a thick piece of onion and equally thick batter. The batter had a bit of a beer seasoning, slight oily taste and a moderately crunch. Really good tasting ring! The side salad was small with a nice mix of simple side ingredients - tomatoes, onions and cheese. My wife had the Wheelman wrap. She said it was loaded with tasty turkey and bacon flavors. She liked the fresh taste. The fries were thinner and crispy. I ordered the Silent Shot breaded tenderloin. It was very thick and juicy. The pork taste really came out nicely. The breading was thick like the onion rings - slight crunch and slightly oily. The sandwich came with all the usual toppings. The Cole slaw was also very tasty. The small slaw pieces were almost diced. The mayo base was slightly sweet with a hint of vinegar. It stuck to the slaw pieces without being soupy. Overall another interesting, out of the way place, with good drops and service... to dine and experience some Americana.

Food was not good! Bar food. They tried to do steaks. They were awful. Stick with bar foodread more

Domino's Pizza - Build your own pasta with veggies. Called to request robust pizza sauce instead of marinara to make it dairy free.

I just picked up my order. My pizza was not cut into slices. It was one big slice. I am not…read morehappy that they forgot to run the cutter through the pizza.

Dominos was never my favorite pizza except for one location I frequented years ago. The good thing…read moreabout Dominos is they're open later than other restaurants. It's one of the only delivery options in Peru, especially at night, and it's more affordable than the competing pizza chains. Online coupons are budget helpers. I hadn't ordered from here in quite a while. I did a few times when I first moved to Peru. Things were chaotic, and I was hungry. I was eating a bit of dairy here and there, but I've removed it completely again for heath & ethical reasons. That being said, there are not many plant based options, but thanks to some helpful websites that do the homework for me, I was able to easily figure out what I'd like to have. For what I got, this seemed a bit pricey, but it was really one of two restaurants open for delivery. Even though nothing was available on local delivery services, after issues from them all, I'd much rather order straight from a restaurant and not have a middleman to mess everything up. I'm low on groceries and really just wanted something to eat. I will only utilize this in emergencies, not just because of the small selection but the service isn't as good as it used to be. I used an online coupon to order the Mediterranean garden veggie sandwich and a build your own pasta. I called after I placed my order to ask for the robust pizza sauce instead of their marinara on my pasta since the pizza sauce has no dairy, and there isn't anywhere online to make a substitution request. I was on hold for nearly six minutes, listening to several schpeels. I hung up and called back and got someone right away who was vet nice and accommodating over my request. My sandwich had banana peppers on it, and that was something I requested for them to leave off. They're just something I can't eat anymore the older I get. The veggies were pretty sparse and sloppy. Seeing how I didn't get the cheese, it would have been nice to get a better amount of veg. I scraped most of them into my pasta and turned the bread into garlic bread. I don't remember the sandwich being very stellar even when I had it with cheese over a year ago anyway. Dominos' pasta primavera was actually really good in the past. It just needed garlic and black pepper, but since I didn't want dairy, I did a build your own tonight. As I said, I called to request robust pizza sauce instead of the marinara. The pasta looked far better than the sandwich, especially after I doctored it up with what I had in the house. I'm full, and it was semi healthy even though it lacked much of a protein source. Even doctored up, and I'm a pretty good cook, it was just okay. Overpriced, yet not as bad as what I checked out on the site of the other pizza place that was still open. Again, something I'd reserve for emergencies when starving. I really just need to move to a real city with better options. While the man who answered the phone was great, and I have had some awesome delivery drivers from here in the past, this one left my food on the porch for the no contact delivery as requested but sent no text and didn't call like I'm accustomed to receiving from this Dominos. I also always add "Please call, don't knock" to my orders. And for pre tipping over 30%, it was a little disappointing there was no notification or thank-you. Luckily, I had the tracker and kept an eye out. I'm sure there is a high turn over, so the people I had before may very well be long gone. This Dominos isn't awful, and I'm grateful there was at least something I could eat. I just won't be a regular. If you're in Peru and want something late, which really isn't even "late" by my standards, it's a decent choice. I'd go for the pasta before their pizzas and bread which can be greasy and lacking flavor. Another bonus is that, with the exception of 2020, (not sure about later) this Dominos is open on Christmas. I don't like making someone waiting on me on holidays, but it's good for those who WANT to work those days. A good driver I had Christmas Eve 2020 was a lifesaver when I didn't have food in the house and was explaining how he was bummed corporate was not allowing them to work that Christmas Day. I do have to say they are almost always super fast. That's why I was afraid to be on hold too long. There was a chance my dish was already being made. Dominos is open until Midnight. They're competitor across the street is only open until 11. I believe the other chain nearby is only open until 9 or 10.

Papa Johns Pizza - Leaking garlic sauce

I feel like I'm being a bit generous with three stars, but I'll roll with it since two seems…read moreslightly harsh. I hadn't had Papa John's in many years and never from this particular location. I'm left wondering what in the world happened to the quality. While the prices were lower than a competitor down the street if you order online and choose"deals," it's really not an inexpensive meal choice anymore. Better pizza than the competition across the way but not good. Papa John's used to have the best crust resembling a bread stick. Now it's flat and hard and dotted with puncture like marks. When did that start? Every other time I had Papa John's, the crust WAS the bread stick hence the signature garlic sauce included. I can't have them anymore, but I swear they used to place more than one pepperoncini pepper in the box along with the cup of garlic dipping sauce. They seemed to skimp on cheese and toppings even when extra toppings were requested. Floppy and messy. One of the pizzas had a cup of garlic sauce which was open and leaked along one side through the cardboard and all over the undercarriage of that pizza. When I gently opened that cup the rest of the way, it exploded and made a huge greasy mess. The bread sticks were soft and far batter than the crust. No flavor though other than the sauces you choose. Ten bread sticks, but some are small and oddly shaped. One cup of sauce per box. You can add extra sauces or get a deal on two extra cups for less if you click in the right place online. Even with their deals, two boxes of bread sticks cost more than a large pizza. I had to get two to get the price since I didn't want wings or the other sides. You're going to want plenty of extra sauce. Speaking of sauce, their cheese sauce is pale. It's spicy but the flavor isn't at all what I expected. The garlic is still the way to go, imo. They had a lot of other sauces they didn't use to have. I was hoping they had a salad on the menu. Nope. I also found it odd they don't have their own delivery drivers anymore. My online order was redirected to a Doordash tracker. My driver was polite and prompt though. I don't normally eat stuff like this, and after this experience, I doubt I would order from here again. Homemade or store bought seems more economical and the choice if you want flavor. I don't know what I was thinking and regret wasting money on this. My four legged pizza party dining companions were happy and had fun though. That was the only redeeming quality of this experience. The Papa John's I knew as a whole since the nineties is no more. Long gone are the days when pizza was a cheap dinner option on nights you don't feel like cooking or are having a celebration. Back when Papa John's had a simpler menu in simpler times, it was actually the best of all the chains. Sad now.

Boneless chicken tasted like chicken nuggets all of the chicken nuggets was not covered in barbecue…read moresauce, cheese sticks, tasted good, but were kind of cold, and the marinara sauce tasted more like tomato sauce then a marinara
