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.

I've been going to Schooners since I was probably younger than 5... so probably over 40 years…read more They've always had great food there. The wings, onion rings, burgers are all great. My son got a horseshoe and enjoyed it as well. The servers are always friendly, I'm not sure what her name is, but she's been our server the past 6 or so times I've been there and she's super nice. Always attentive and friendly overall. The atmosphere of the place... it's a bar/restaurant. It hasn't changed much in the time I've been going there aside from it being a non-smoking establishment now. Their beer garden area is great to eat at when it's nice outside as well (service is also very good out there). I don't have anything to complain about... I go there for nostalgia, the food, and to show my younger son that the old 'hole in the wall' places are some of the best to go to.

They do have something called a "horseshoe" though and the Illinois classic pork tenderloin. Food is exactly as described and a lot of it is hand/scratch-made! Everything hit the table hot and ready for consumption all at once, after hardly a wait at all. My party was six people and we ordered two orders of wings, a tenderloin, a ham horseshoe, onion rings, corn fritters, and mozzarella sticks. Everything was delicious. The tenderloin was perfectly crisp and hilariously huge. The horseshoe was messy and silly, a fun novelty as well. Service was absolutely great and the vibe inside amongst the patrons is jovial. I'd definitely come back for a pint and a tenderloin!

The bathrooms were clean with Cintas dispensers for soap, tissue and towels. We had two three meat specials. Catfish, chicken wing dings and rib tips with fried okra, collard greens and the other with green beans and candied yams. The chicken had a dry rub on it. We couldn't really taste it, but they were well cooked well. Fried hard and crunchy with a tender fillet inside. The rib tips were good but seemed more like mini ribs. They were tender but didn't fall apart. The greens were a bit spicy but so good. The fried okra melts in your mouth. The candied yams were sugar sweet and full of flavor. The green beans had bacon in them. Overall it was a great meal. Go enjoy You won't be disappointed!
