I was a little nervous hoping my 17yo picky non celiac son would find something he would like in a gf restaurant. I worried for nothing! He and I ordered the smash burgers and they were exceptional. He didn't even mind the "special sauce" which is amazing because the only thing he usually puts on a burger is salt. The warm chips were great as well. The wife got a "p-dizzle" flat bread. It was SO good. I almost forgot that we ordered cheese bites for an appetizer. They were served with a pineapple medley and a hummus dip. Holy cow were they fantastic! Their menu is quite large and we can't wait to go back. I was also impressed with the prices. Gf food is quite expensive and this place does a nice job offering delicious gf food at a very reasonable price! The service was a tad slow but I think they were short handed so that's totally understandable. All of the staff were extremely nice. And finally, the ambiance. The restaurant is bright and open and well decorated. The seats are very comfortable. Overall very pleased with everything. Just kicking myself for waiting so long to try The Queen of Squash out!

It's great to have fresh, clean, healthy food vs the never ending fried food and burgers. The ambiance is comforting and cozy. Our server, Bianca, was delightful, friendly, and personable. She wasn't rushed, got everything right, and made great cocktails! They were proportioned nicely and tasted great! My mom and I had 3 between the two of us. We got several dishes to try a variety and they were all great! I'd get all of them again. Flavorful and unique! Nothing was bland and all was tasty! Great job!! I'd definitely recommend for both vegetarian and non vegetarian. They have things for both. I really hope the Peoria area supports this establishment because the area desperately needs it. We had a great experience and will be back!

I'm not sure what the sauce was, but I couldn't stop eating it! Then went with the Asian tacos with brisket. Very interesting combination of sauces and brisket. I added the vinegar based bbq sauce for even more yum! Ended with the key lime pie. Definitely different than I was expecting, but very solid none the less. I highly recommend this place! Go get you some!!

Eating here has made us decide we will never eat BBQ again!!…read more This was hands down the worst BBQ we have ever had and in the running for the worst food! The wings were burnt chunks on a plate. There was more burnt, dry skin and meat than edible meat! The ribs were pretty much the same. Drowning them in the sauce did nothing to make them better!! Served with lukewarm fries and below average other sides, there was nothing redeeming about our plates. The cornbread muffin was good...but it's just two bites.

The service is outstanding, and our server was clearly interested in how we liked the food. We ordered a reuben with fries, chocolate chip pancakes, scrambled eggs, bacon and hashbrowns. The reuben was outstanding, with carrot in the clearly home-made sauerkraut. The chocolate chip pancakes were phenomenal as well, and the fries were very fresh and crispy. You know how most menu items today inspire a sort of "Wish it were cheaper" thought? Everything on the menu at Mike's is priced exactly what I would expect. Sandwiches are around the $5 to $10 range, and side items are reasonable. Some of the chain joints are charging $20+ for a burger now, and Mike's is under $9. Truly good food for a truly good price.

The owner/chef came out to introduce himself since he was informed that my wife and I were celebrating our 45th wedding anniversary. This was our first time ever at the restaurant and I am disappointed that while living in Peoria, IL for 50 years I never had been there before. Now it's the only place I will go out to dinner at when I am in Peoria. The address is actually listed as 3218 N. Dries Lane in Peoria, IL and is across from the old Landmark Theatre on Dries Ln. You can actually locate it off of University St. also.

The food was not of the best quality in general. It seemed (like everything else) average quality product to build the plates...leading then to average dishes. The food wasn't salted well nor particularly flavorful. Service-wise, we had to constantly try to find someone to provide for needs. Service did not anticipate needs or the service required.

My son and I both had a bacon cheddar burger with fries. It's served with candied bacon on a pretzel bun. Very good. My husband had the Philly cheese steak and Cajun fries.
