The waffle was crispy and they used real fruit. My husband had the brioche French toast. The French toast was loaded with fresh strawberries, bananas, and pecans. We had a great dining experience here. Our server was nice and friendly. I highly recommend Childer's Eatery!

I had really high expectations for this place and unfortunately they fell flat for me…read more To start with the good, we got the immunity juice and that was amazing, our waitress was also very nice! Unfortunately this location didn't have alcohol, which was not what we were expecting but also wasn't the end of the world. I got the best breakfast in Peoria and it also fell flat for me, the biscuits and gravy had a weird taste to them and the hasbrown and eggs have virtually no flavor. The sausage patties were really good though! My friend got the avocado toast, and it's not a mash, it was just a few slices on a piece of toast, which normally wouldn't be a huge deal except the avocado wasn't ripe so it was really hard to then mash down on to the toast. I don't know that I would go back to a Childers eatery and if I did I may not come to this one. The menu items looked soooo good and I was just a little disappointed in the food itself.

I used to work in the Towers and went to Donna's Downtown Deli all the time. Still try to get in…read morethere when possible if I'm in the area. Amazing sub bread. I haven't had any sub there I didn't like, including veggie (one of my favs) like Per E., all the way to tons of meat and mayo. Their sub dressing is amazing as well. I would often get breakfast there, which was tasty but not amazing. Egg was prepared to order, but in microwave (at least when I last ate there) yet didn't taste bad at all. I got it on croissant and really liked it. Better than any fast food place around. Bread bowl soups hit the spot during the winters. Needless to say, I put on weight working in the same building as a place that tasty. And, the service was always great and happy. The owner worked in the shop, so they really cared about the customers.

The veggie sub at Donna's is delicious, and quite an awesome deal.

I don't think it can get much better for a healthy, fast, and cost effectively filling vegetarian lunch in downtown Peoria, so it's my new favorite.

And if you're going to be too cheap to hire more people then you turn off delivery & sell cold subs only. Several people walked out due to the slow service. I don't blame them, just you. One thing you can do is cut your subs correctly.

Review Visit: September 15th, 2013…read more Jersey accent not needed to order here. Out of nowhere, Jersey Mike's appeared in East Peoria. I only knew this because I got a flyer in the mail offering a free sandwich for the grand opening of Jersey Mike's. Matt got the same flyer in the mail, so I asked him if he wanted to check the place out. He agreed and we found an afternoon we were both free to redeem our free sandwiches. We got lucky as there wasn't a long wait for us to order our food. The coupon we had was for a free sandwich but we also grabbed some chips and soda to round out the meal. From what I remember, ordering a sub here is like any other sub shop. You pick out what sandwich you want from the menu and then you can customize it to your liking. Matt and I placed our ordered, waited for our food and took a seat outside. I grew up eating Subway in my late teens and early 20s so I am all too familiar with eating and ordering sub sandwiches. It wasn't until I started to travel that I realized that sub sandwiches have more to them than the mass-produced stuff they have at Subway. I've tried Head West, Firehouse Subs, Snarfs, and a few others. Once I tried these places, I haven't had Subway since. It's just my personal opinion but I feel these smaller chains do it better. Does Jersey Mike's do it better than Subway? Yes. Yes it does and then some. Jersey Mike's is easily in my Top 5 for places to get subs. Despite not remembering the specific sandwich I ordered, I do remember being amazed at the softness of the bread and the quality of everything smashed in that small crevice where the bread was split open. Each bite was full of flavor and everything tasted as if it were cooked fresh. It was with luck that I got another flyer in the mail. It was an offer that any money donated to the local firefighters earned you a free sandwich. I took the offer down there, threw some money in their firefighter tip jar and quickly scooped up my free sandwich. I remember being amazed at how good it was and that my first trip wasn't a fluke. If you like subs, you owe it to yourself to try Jersey Mike's (or one of the ones listed above). If you don't have one near you, I would encourage you to see what smaller sub shops are in your area and to try them out. Sometimes its a nice surprise when you try the stuff that isn't known nationwide.
