Now that their liquor license is in place, 'PopUp kingdom' has a great new flagship location in the…read moreheart of the Peoria baseball stadium/warehouse district. And we highly recommend a visit, especially if you are familiar with the brand! Like the BloNo location there are at least two entrances - the one further west is for a good sized hosting/ordering/waiting area while the one closest to the ballpark has more direct access to the bar area, but is way more space-restricted and will likely be a traffic jam on game days. If you're looking for a table, both entrances open to the rest of the cool 'industrial chic' dining areas in the form of a large street-level open concept dining area and a good sized split-level (up 3-4 steps) back room - which despite having wide entrances that make it feel part of the larger space, likely can easily be cordoned-off for private functions. One visit in and the lady and I (plus our friend and former Ptown bartender) can say that the food was every bit the same top-quality, large portion, methodically cooked and creatively accented sandwiches and wraps, served in old school pie pans with red-white check paper liners, that we are used to. The weekend special shaved ribeye Cali burrito was particularly epic, cementing what seems to be the first of the 3 or 4 things that keep the crowds coming back. The second thing is the creativity and discernment applied to bar side - in the form of the beer menu, which is initially focused on bottles/cans since they just received the liquor license the day before our arrival. Despite this there was a good mix of 'domestics' and at least 20 quality craft options from 6 or 8 fantastic breweries representing a good variety of styles but leaning like those at the original location - that is, a few more IPAs and 'sweet sours'. They also maintain a thoughtful and inventive cocktail list and will NO DOUBT start building up the whiskey/bourbon collection in the coming weeks. Although having high quality and fairly compensated employees helps immensely, the last thing that really drives their business is something we often say three times - location... In this case, it's literally less than a block from home plate. Easy to find. Easy to love. We'll certainly be back!

I highly recommend dining in at that location. I ordered online - easy parking and it has its own pick up entrance. Staff was friendly, order ready when I got there, and the order was correct. Food tasted great.

If you are craving mainly hummus, be warned theirs is a bit more dry and pasty, but clean and good. The meats, rice, and pita hold the line. The staff is chill and will help you. Very easy parking also makes this a smooth visit.

The salad was actually really good, unique sprouts and flavors but not too overwhelming. The shaved parm was a very good balance. The bakery had good options. We tried the orange spice cinnamon roll, which was just OK in my opinion. The cream part was a bit overwhelming but we have a pretty light palate. Overall, highly recommend this place.

From what I understand this is a family run business & those are my favorite places to eat. Walking in this place is small with a table & 2 chairs. There's more seating outside. We were promptly greeted by everyone. Since it was my first time, it was nice to not be rushed to order. Questions are answered. I had the Italian sandwich & this was the best one I've ever had (those are my go to sandwich). The mix of the meats with the peppers & onions was nice. The bread was perfect. Next time I will get the Italian beef. I tried a bite of the hubby's & boy was it fantastic!
