Meeting an old friend for lunch in Peoria, and Weaver's seemed like a decent option. It was more…read more At lunchtime on Monday, the place was busy, but we were still seated immediately. We ended up staying there talking for a couple of hours to catch up, and the staff was friendly and accommodating. While there are lots of great options on the menu, both of us chose the BPT - Breaded Pork Tenderloin. I've eaten a lot of breaded pork tenderloins in my time, but none like this one. The usual approach is super thin and huge, making the bun look tiny. While this one wasn't much larger than the bun, it was at least an inch thick, so it was more like eating a fried pork chop sandwich, but with the meat tenderized. The meat was well-seasoned and very flavorful, and the crust was extra-crispy and crunchy. The Honey-Lime sauce (one of three sauces brought to each table along with Ranch and Tyler's Sauce) is delicious and worked great with the pork. Fries were good, as was the cole slaw (which had a nice kick from some very freshly-ground black pepper). And I'm always happy when a place has Guinness on tap.

Once inside and once outside...the food was fantastic. Definitely get the frilled shrimp inside a carved out oineapple...my all time favorite. Also had the shrimp roll, lettuce wraps and parmesan whitefish. All top notch. Dinner service both nights was incredibly quick..we ate and were having our tables cleared in under 45 min....and got sat right away even on Labor Day Weekend with no reservations....though it was pretty busy. TBH the community doesn't deserve a spot this good, and we were lucky enough to search it out and find it! Do yourself a favor and hit this place up if you're in the region...everything else qround doesnt even compare.

Service 5 stars. Waitress did not rush us and answered various questions about the drink menu offerings as well as the food menu. A lot of appetizers to choose from. The manager or owner stopped by the table twice. Not exactly sure who he was as he didn't introduce himself. Just asked how we were. Food 3 stars: I settled on the fish and chips. I liked the light breading on the mild fish and it wasn't greasy. The sauce was great too. Coleslaw was lackluster and the side of fries were seasoned; however, they were not crisp and were flaccid. The other guests said the same thing about the fries. Overall the food could have been hotter in my opinion, The others had the Tenderloin, a burger and Caribbean chicken sandwich. Fries are the side that is included with the sandwiches. A blackberry mule, blueberry lemon martini. Arnold Palmer, Pepsi and MGD bottled beer were the drinks ordered by the guests.

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!

I have to say, I'm a bit disappointed…read more I'm disappointed because in my 46 years on this planet, this was probably the best meal I have ever had. Which means everything else is downhill from here. I started with the Buffalo-style chicken wings. They claimed they were "jumbo and juicy." I've heard that line before, so naturally I was skeptical. Then they came out. They were absolutely true to their name. Huge, ridiculously juicy, and coated in what tasted like some kind of cornflake-style breading before being fried to absolute perfection. Crispy. Crunchy. Juicy. Every bite had that perfect crackle on the outside without sacrificing anything inside. Then came the steak. Now, I cook a mean steak myself, and I'm rarely impressed when I order one at a restaurant. Most of the time I'm sitting there thinking, "Yeah, I could've done this at home." Not this time. This was a 14-ounce New York strip cooked medium rare, and I would have been proud of myself if I had cooked that steak. It was so flavorful that asking for salt would have felt like a sin. But somehow, the steak wasn't even the whole story. The mixed vegetables were seasoned perfectly. I hate okra. I'm not exactly the president of the squash fan club either. I ate every last bite. Then there was the potato. I don't even know exactly what they did to this thing. It was cut in a way that somehow allowed it to get crispy all over, inside, outside, probably spiritually too, and then covered in a sauce that soaked into all those little crispy layers without ruining the texture. For dessert, I had a limoncello and the tableside crème brûlée with blueberries, pineapple, and marshmallows. The chef came right to the table and torched the crème brûlée and marshmallows in front of me. The fresh fruit and toasted marshmallow were perfect with the rich custard, and taking little sips of limoncello between bites gave you that hit of sweet citrus that reset your palate just enough to make you immediately want another bite. The service matched the food. Friendly, fun, attentive without hovering, and they even boxed up my leftovers for me. So, sincerely, thank you to the chef and the entire staff. You gave me one of the best meals I've ever eaten... and an entirely new reason to have a midlife crisis.

Not a huge portion, but came with 2 sides for $16. A great deal for the price. I chose onion rings and beans from a decent selection of sides. I would pass on the beans, but the rings were crispy. I requested a couple extra of the tiny cups of sauce, it was good (KC style). Service was friendly, but not bothersome.
