When you walk in you feel it's 1980 all over again. There was a party of four and one guy ib the party was named Eric and kept on spilling beer on my buddy and the waitress I believe her name was Kim just laughed each time and walked by us, not sure if see had all her marbles. Prices were above average. I'm sure this is a awesome hangout for seniors and Bradley alumni but as far as return visit sorry I want to keep my youth and a dry pant leg. read more

Food is consistently delicious and staff is always friendly. Definitely a hidden gem in Peoria! read more

Khaki Jack's - Amazing grilled chicken tenders! - Burgers Near Me - Peoria, Illinois

Jack's was a complete surprised. It's a bit difficult to find, tucked inside a strip behind a gas station. The front door is quaintly set to close not by the traditional spring; but rather by a bucket and pulley system rigged as a kludge. Ultimately, it looks like you're about to walk into a dive bar without redeeming qualities. And then you get hit, like Dr. Banner by gamma beams, and your experience changes. The staff, and particularly the owner, are incredibly polite and eager to see you (Even as a stranger.). Immediately upon being seated, you're provided a bucket (I like any meal served in a bucket) of peanuts to shell and enjoy while you wait for food. The menu is typical bar food; but seems to be very well done. I had an ostrich burger, and found it flavorful, well-prepared, and really above and beyond typical bar fare. I was really pleased with the experience, and am excited to go back. Well-priced, great food, and a great dive bar/greasy spoon atmosphere makes this an unexpected treat. read more

I just met with the owner, Jack. He's a nice bloke. The cheese burger was huge. The pizza was vary generous with the toppings. The salmon salad was wonderful. I learned that I love ostrich burgers. Several other reviews said they have sweet potato fries. I was disappointed to find that they do not. I'm from Indy, but if I come to Peoria again, I'll stop in and have a meal with my new friend, Jack read more

Khaki Jack's - Ostrich burger! Excellent choice for those that want to eat healthy. Very tasty - Burgers Near Me - Peoria, Illinois

Food was outstanding! Service was great. We sat at the bar and ordered bloody Mary's which were made to perfection. Not just vodka and tomato juice they had all kinds of extras which rocked! Definitely coming back. read more

Love it! Good food. Great atmosphere and you get to throw peanut shells on the floor! I will keep coming back! read more

Best chicken sandwich in the city! Fries were fantastic as well. Informal, peanut shell on the floor atmosphere. Been going for 5 years and the food is always good. Service is a little slow but still a worthwhile stop due to food quality and modest pricing. read more

One of my go to places! From burgers to salads (salad seems like a sad word for the edible art that it is), the food is always fantastic. With a cold beer and a bucket of complimentary peanuts to enjoy while your food is being prepared, along with rubber necking to take in all the unique decor, Khaki Jacks is a favorite. read more

Very small place, so don't bring a ton of people unless you're ok with waiting. Fresh french fries are great, and I haven't had a bad burger there ever. Peanuts on every table, so if you're allergic this is not a place for you. read more

Just came here once and got take out, so I can't comment on the wait staff or bar. Had a beef burger and didn't find it too good. The toppings were good (grilled onions and grilled red bell peppers), but the patty tasted processed and frozen. It reminded me of a thick Wendy's patty. Burger and fries cost an average $8.50 and you get a ton of food for that, but for the same price you can go to Burger Barge, Kaydee Kats, Ulrich's Rebellion Room, Richard's, or even just Five Guys. All are better and cost the same. read more

Great atmosphere, friendly staff, good food! Make sure to scratch this Peoria bar off your list.

I have been coming to this place for years. They know what they are, stay in their lane, and produce consistent results. The menu is more diverse than your typical neighborhood spot. I am a fan of the bison burger and the ostrich burger. Great french fries. They have recently started accepting credit cards which is nice. There have been many times over the years where I did not go there because I did not have any cash on me. read more

Decent food. Burgers are overpriced for what You get. Fries are a do again though. Our waitress seemed to want to do anything other than help us. Living so close, I was really hoping to like this place. I give it a good, solid "meh" read more

Simply the best burger in peoria. For years I thought there was nothing better than Richards. I have the bundaburg with mozzarella, jalapeño bacon, sautéd onions, on a pretzel bun with a Guinness. read more

Burger was cooked really well. Was really hoping the jalapeno bacon was going to have some kick, but pretty much like regular bacon. The buns are fantastic. Waitress was really nice. I took my wife to lunch. She had a chicken sandwich with grilled peppers and onions. She really liked it. The fries made the meal! The table was really sticky, but I am working on the assumption that it was just my table. Rest of the place looked really clean. Not much walking room in the place because there are so many tables and chairs. Overall, nice lunch place. read more

Great place for a quick beer or bite! The burgers are yummy and the staff is really friendly.

Nice little joint with big juicy burgers. Great service. Fantastic food. Would definitely come back.

I love khaki jacks,you have got to try the fresh cut fries

Awesome burgers. My daughter had a hot ham and cheese ...and believe me it wasn't a small one. Even had real ham on it.

The food was good. The bartender-who knows maybe she owns the place-must have recently been chewed out for slowness. I was sitting at the eating area outside waiting for my friend to show up, when I had the gall to walk in the building 2 times. The bartender/waitress flipped out because she apparently thought I was rushing her. Now listen I have been a waitress and worked in the medical field so I have worked with the public for 42 years. You should be kind to people because that is what you do when you work with the public. Plus I am retired and not in a hurry!!! I said 3 words (wanted to tell her we had decided to eat outside) but she cut me off and angrily told me the many things she had to do. She didn't even know what I was going to say (because she wouldn't let me speak) stayed angry the whole time I was there. When I paid the bill she put my change down and did not thank me until I thanked her. She either needs to take an anger management class or a class in how to treat people. She lost a customer 7-27-21. The good news is that the visit makes for a great story to share with others because it was such an absurd experience. read more

Great food! If your a cherry coke fan they give you real cherry coke too, its not canned. Very good fries with malt vinegar. Overall a great place to eat. read more

This place is great.! My favorite entree are the wings! They are reasonably price, nice size, and if you like spicy food -- hot is recommended.! Don't forget the fries!! Only downfall, if they are busy, it can take a while -- but worth the wait! read more

One or my original favorites, everything on the menu is above average. Couldn't say they have the best of anything in Peoria, but everything on the menu is good. Good atmosphere, all the employees are always extremely welcoming. read more

spicy wings and alright burgers is the best way to sum up this place. there are buckets of peanuts on the tables and the floor is completely covered with their shells. the theme is australian although besides fosters and an ostrich burger - there isnt anything really australian about the place. it was actually pretty crowded when we pulled up so locals do like the place and id probably go back but not for the burgers. read more

Went in for the first time and it was average. I would say that it is a bit expensive for what you get. But where else can you get a burger made from ostrich? The potato skins were excellent. The best thing in the place would have been the root beer. While I wouldn't go out of my way to eat there, I might stop by again if I am in front of it. read more

We always have great food/service here. The lovely server has our order memorized. My husband always goes with a bundy burger, and I, the potato skins. Cheap strong cocktails make it even better! The owner is always around making sure everything is going well and is super friendly. read more

This place is awesome is so many ways, the food is great!!! the atmosphere is unique and very friendly. They make you feel very welcomed here. And I think the prices are very reasonable, if not a good deal. The food is exceptional, and they always have your food up quickly even during a rush. Great job Guys!! LOVE THIS PLACE read more

Had the bleu cheese burger and fries. Was fantastic. My wife had the italian sausage sandwich and said it was also very good. Love munching on peanuts before the meal came. Service was great. read more

What a pleasant surprise. The location, outside decor and even the sign will lead you to believe that this is a dive bar. You will be amazed once you step inside. Very clean, staff is friendly and the menu covers I was with a group of five motorcycle riders. We drove over 140 miles to try this place out. A couple of people in the group are hooked on Bison Burgers so we thought we would take a ride to Peoria and check out Khaki Jack's. We ordered several Bison and one Outback burger. They were outstanding, and the Fries! There should be a large warning label stating that these fries can be addictive. This is great little gem of a place. read more

Ate here for a late lunch last week. Waitress was great friendly and prompt. Kept our drinks full and good conversation. Had burgers, fries, wife had a Sammy. All were hot, fresh and taste great. Will be back. read more

Went there around 2:45 on a Saturday afternoon and asked if we could get food. The waitress stated "of course you can". I ordered an Elk burger and added jalapeño bacon and cheese. It was cooked perfectly. My son kept commenting how juicy and good his regular hamburger was. My other son had a ham and cheese which was ham sliced not lunch meat. We split the basket of hand cut fries between 3 of us and still had some left. I'm just disappointed that I have never eaten there before. read more

We went to Khaki Jacks on a Friday night with another couple. All the tables were full but they were very friendly so we had a drink at the bar and they got us a table within 10 minutes. The waitress was very friendly and answered questions about the menu. My wife and I both had the salmon salad and it was huge. Our friends enjoyed their meal as well. If you are looking for a place that is not a chain, give Khaki Jacks a try. read more

I went there for the first time tonight. I will make sure to go again. The other reviews were right, the staff and owner was very friendly and the food was great. Too bad it took our daughter and her husband ten years to introduce us to this place. read more

Found Khaki's by accident. But it was just perfect for the mood we where in. Just wish it wasn't 200 miles away. Would love to eat my way up and down the menu. Tell Paul M thanks. read more

I have loved this place for years..... have not been in awhile.. 2 words Canned mushrooms! So sad! What happened to my Sydney?

Ordered Ostrich as the waitress suggested. It was overcooked not seasoned at all and cost more than the other burgers. Waitress was pleasant but had too many tables so expect a long lunch. I'm not sure I would come back. read more
