    72. Moo Shu Pork, chicken and 78. Beef with Snow Peas, 14. Crab Rangoon Cream Cheese
    Peggy D.

    We wanted to try something different instead of going to our regular Chinese for carry out. China City was a pleasant surprise. I can't say enough about the food. The crab Rangoon was filled with crab and cream cheese. The wrapper was extra crispy. The Mu Shu pork came with five rice pancakes, hoisin sauce and the most yummy tender pork. Chicken and snow peas had lots of chicken and fresh pea pods with a few fresh carrots and bok choy. Fried rice was not greasy. I noticed no egg, peas and carrots which I was ok with. I will definitely go back! The dining room is closed off due to Covid19, so carry out only with delivery option as well.

    Best lunch ever!!

    This is a high end restaurant. It has a beautiful view from atop the Rhythm City Casino…read more The service was excellent, as expected. Our waitress was knowledgeable about the menu, thorough, and checked in with us at the right frequency (often enough to be helpful, but not so often as to be interrupting). The food was mostly good, but had some misses. I had the prime rib as my main course. I ordered it medium-rare. It was melt-in-your-mouth terrific. As far as I could tell it was seasoned very simply with just salt and pepper. Normally I am a horseradish guy--it was supplied with au jus and horseradish sauce--but the flavor of the meat was so good that the sauces actually detracted from it. The asparagus side was disappointing. It was prepared very well--looked like it was grilled--and was seasoned well. The problem was the quality of the asparagus itself. Granted that we are not exactly in-season for good quality asparagus, but I expect a high end restaurant to at least make sure the ends are trimmed adequately to ensure there are no tough bits left. My wife had the vegetable pasta and reported that it was good. My kid had the kids' pepperoni pizza. Again, I was disappointed in this. It was overcooked. He normally doesn't eat the crust anyway, but when I tried to eat the leftover crusts, I found them to be really hard. Also the pepperoni was seared to the point that it was hard and crispy. The desserts looked so good, I had to try two. The salted caramel cheesecake was excellent. It was light and fluffy, while still being rich and not overly sweet. I also had the lemon blueberry cake, which was a new addition to their offerings. This was good, but the cheesecake definitely outshone it. Prices were on the high side, but not outrageous. Overall, this was a mixed bag. I would eat here again on the strength of how good the meat was. I would definitely be interested in trying one of their steaks in the future. Given the prices, I wouldn't do it very often though.

I travel to Clinton a lot for work and am always less than impressed with the food options, this place was randomly recommended and wow, it's going to be a normal spot for me. We came in around dinner without a reservation and were immediately seated, by the window at that! The view was GORGEOUS. The dining space was bright and airy, very welcoming. It feels like a family establishment. Now the service. We were joking we literally had 5 seconds between each thing, they were BOOM BOOM BOOM. Drinks, apps, meal, dessert, I swear everything was out within 5 minutes from each other. Maybe some of the best service timing I've ever seen, we were amazed. The food, wow. For the middle of Iowa? This is it. The onion rings, the fried goat cheese. I was here for it. People at the table got the crawfish? boil and they all loved it, apparently the lobster Mac is some of the best the table has ever had, and I just got a couple sides - the asparagus and regular Gouda Mac - because there was so much food. Literally everything I had was so tasty. The cheesecakes were bomb too. I will absolutely be back every time I'm in town.

I ordered the Chef Queso Fundido based on his recommendation, and while I appreciated the guidance, the dish itself didn't quite live up to the hype for me. My bartender, Tina, makes a very solid Flor de Desierto -- easily the highlight of the drinks. However, the raspberry margarita leaned more syrupy than fresh, which threw the balance off. The restaurant is lively and energetic, with live music (a solo guitarist) and a packed house. It's clearly a popular spot and has a fun, upbeat atmosphere. That said, the overall vibe felt more like a "Mexican‑themed chain restaurant" than an authentic Mexican dining experience. If that's your style, you'll probably love it. For my personal taste, it just wasn't quite what I look for in Mexican cuisine. The staff were wonderful, but the food and overall authenticity didn't quite hit the mark for me.

    Incredible seafood at very reasonable prices! Holy Crab offers authentic Acadian Cajun boiled crab,…read moreshrimp, scallops, and fish pots of several varieties and spice levels (cayenne & black pepper stands out more). They also have a few other Cajun specialties, including gumbo (one of my favorites) which has a subtly more Creole taste (tomato & paprika is more forward) and crispy sweet-corn hush puppies (reminds me of Paul Prudhomme's recipe which is more wheat than corn, and has sweet onion). I enjoyed our seafood boil dinner so much, I went back for lunch the next day. I got the Holy Crab sampler which features catfish, oysters, shrimp, a crab cake, fries, and I added a tilapia fillet. All of the fish was expertly prepared, and their batter is a rich and crispy sweet-onion batter with a dusting of corn to add to the texture. The portions were very generous for the price. I also got the egg fried rice, which was very tasty, and filled me up after a long day of walking around. For dinner, we went just after peak hours, and the service was fairly quick (for a seafood boil). It was much busier at lunch, but they were able to prepare and serve the food lightning-fast, even with a number of to-go orders being picked up during service. The staff are friendly, and checked on us regularly to top off drinks (we went with medium spiciness, which was perfect with iced tea). Holy Crab ended up being my favorite stop of my trip in Peoria. The food, service, and prices were all quite good. If I'm in the area again, I will stop here to eat for sure!

We were able to snag a last-minute reservation on OpenTable, and the entire experience was wonderful. Our waitress was incredibly attentive--our water glasses were refilled frequently, and even when the restaurant got busy, she made sure to check on us. We were seated in a cozy, intimate circular booth on the side, which made the evening feel even more special. What I'd Order Again: Alaskan King Crab Legs - Pro tip: Order these as a side to another dish instead of as an entrée--it's much cheaper that way! The crab was incredibly fresh, thanks to their flash-freezing process, and it really hit the spot. Lobster Bisque - HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! I added this last-minute when our waitress mentioned that people travel just to try it, and it did not disappoint. The freshly cracked pepper, along with the truffle accents, made this so flavorful and rich. Cocktails - The drinks were fantastic! I had the Tweed Jacket cocktail and really enjoyed it. What made it even cooler was that our waitress actually created a cocktail that got added to the menu when she started working there--so cool! Scallops - Perfectly cooked with a stunning presentation. While I've had better on the coasts, I was impressed given that we're in Iowa. Desserts (HIGHLY recommend the homemade coffee ice cream & tiramisu!) - The tiramisu was amazing, and I could tell it was homemade because I nearly choked on the cocoa powder (the ultimate test!). But the real star? The homemade coffee ice cream--absolutely phenomenal. What I Wouldn't Order Again: Jumbo Crab Cake - It was good, but it had that slightly "old crab" taste and reminded me more of snow crab than the rich, sweet crab flavor I was hoping for. Given that I'm from Seattle, my seafood standards are high, so this didn't quite meet expectations. Brussels Sprouts - Great flavor, but I prefer mine extra crispy, and these weren't quite there. 10 oz Filet Mignon - It was cooked to the right temperature, but it wasn't as juicy as other steaks I've had in Iowa. Good, but not particularly memorable. Other Notes: Shareable Side Dishes - One thing I really liked was that their side dishes are all shareable, so they feel more like appetizers than traditional sides. It makes it easy to try a variety, and I definitely want to explore more of them when I come back! Location & Accessibility - Even though Ruthie's is inside a casino, it's tucked on the side, so you don't have to deal with the cigarette smell. Parking is plentiful, though depending on where you park, it might be a bit of a walk. Bathrooms - The restrooms are located outside the restaurant on the right--not too far of a walk. Final Thoughts: Ruthie's is a true gem, and I can see why it's so highly recommended. The service was outstanding, the food was top-tier, and the small details--from our cozy booth to our waitress's personal touch on the cocktail menu--made the night extra special. It's the kind of place that turns a meal into a memory, and I can't wait to come back.
