If you're looking for a seriously good grilled chicken sandwich, the one at Fatman Bishop's in East…read morePeoria absolutely delivers. The chicken was perfectly cooked, incredibly moist, and packed with rich flavor--exactly what a grilled chicken sandwich is supposed to be. No dry, overcooked chicken here. Every bite was satisfying and well-seasoned from start to finish. Sometimes a chicken sandwich doesn't need to be complicated. When the chicken is prepared this well, that's what makes it stand out. Well-balanced, satisfying, and consistently excellent from the first bite to the last. Fatman Bishop's nailed this one. If you're a grilled chicken sandwich fan, this is definitely worth trying. Five stars all the way!

Emancipation is a brewery not a lot of people have heard of because it's not close to anything of course. Has a surprising amount of variety on tap and in cans to go. They may not have a whole lot but everything is full of flavor and quenches one's thirst. Even with it being a smaller brewery it still has quite a lot. It's got several of their own beers on tap along with a few others. There's also more cans in a refrigerator. Has the basics along with a few interesting ones. More than just the IPAs and the usual. It's about $7 a pint. The Farmer's Favorite is the IPA and is a pretty good medium one that's crisp and smooth. Has a few things to snack on here. It's about $3 for the Krack Mix. Basically like Chex Mix but it's made locally. They also will let you bring in stuff. Great place that's pretty hard to find the first time going here. It's located on N. 2500 East Rd. a few miles north of Fairbury surrounded by corn fields pretty much. They're closed Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays.

Very disappointing experience…read more I really wanted to like this place, but unfortunately both the food and service missed the mark. The drinks were good and easily the highlight of the meal. The chicken schnitzel was also pretty good, but the mashed potatoes were incredibly bland. The $14 citrus thyme hummus was terrible. It had large chunks of beans, very little flavor, and wasn't the smooth, creamy hummus I expected. We actually mentioned our disappointment to our server. The $24 chicken and broccoli pasta was another major disappointment. It tasted overwhelmingly like onion, the broccoli was basically just stems, and there were no mushrooms, despite the dish being described with mushrooms. For $24, I expected much better. Our server never came to check on how our entrees were. Could have been because we raised concerns about the lackluster hummus. She was quick to bring us our check. Our total was $85.50 before tax for two people, which is a lot to spend when multiple parts of the meal were disappointing. They did offer us 20% off a future visit, which I appreciate as a gesture, but honestly, we won't be back. A discount toward another meal isn't much incentive when the first experience left us this disappointed. Good drinks, decent schnitzel, but disappointing food overall and poor follow-up from the server after we raised a concern. For the prices, I expected significantly better.

My hubby ordered a patty melt with curly fries and I got a chicken wrap with crinkle fries. Both entrees were good, but neither of us were super impressed with the fries.
