Let's Eat!

Dining in Peoria is a special treat. Whatever your tastes, we’ve got the food you’ll love. From fast food to fine dining, you’ll find it in Peoria.

Beyond the standard franchise fare of Olive Garden, TGI Fridays, Lone Star and others, we’ve got plenty of unique local dining establishments for you to experience. For instance, if you’re downtown and want a relaxing, elegant atmosphere try Jim’s Steakhouse. In Peoria Heights, you can’t go wrong with Seven on Prospect, Jim’s Bistro, Cyd’s Peoria and Vonachen’s Old Place. For a well-regarded, new upscale restaurant and wine shop visit French Toast. These are some of our personal favorites.

However, if you’re mouth is watering for authentic Italian cuisine, visit Johnny’s Italian Steakhouse, Rizzi’s, Basta or Paparazzi.

For an entertaining dining experience, try a Japanese steakhouse such as Sushi Gawa or Yamamoto Japanese Grill and watch the masters in action.

In the mood for seafood?

Our seafood restaurants include Jonah’s Seafood House:  2601 Oyster Bar in East Peoria and Fish House in Peoria – all are excellent choices for true seafood lovers.

Where good food and good music go hand-in-hand
