Review Visit: March 14th, 2016…read more What do you think I ordered at Steak & Fries? If you guess some steak with a side of fries, you'd be incorrect. What did I order on this sunny spring day? I honestly don't remember. Between looking at my photos and looking at the website/online menu, I can usually guess what I order. Not this time. Let's take a journey as I try to remember. Based on the photo below, it appears that one of the things I ordered was a BLT but its on a hotdog bun. Yup, I am not making that up. That's exactly what it looks like. The other item I ordered was another BLT maybe with chicken instead of bacon? A CLT also on a hotdog bun. Weird. I couldn't even begin to guess what the other stuff on the menu would look like once served. Tacos on a hamburger bun? Pizza topped with ice cream? Who knows! The restaurant is located in CampusTown in Peoria. This area is full of eager college freshmen dodging traffic, the worst intersection in history and a ton of local restaurants. CampusTown specifically has a countless number of places to eat and Steak & Fries is one of them. The name is generic, the food is served in non-traditional ways and the taste was... pretty good. That I do remember. My girlfriend and I were taken back by the unusual way food was presented and then we were taken back by how good it was despite the oddity of it all. You can see on their website that our unique experience isn't so unique and is just who they are. If you know me, I am a fan of oddities. I've done some strange stuff over my lifetime and tries even stranger things. Nothing illegal. Just going against the grain to try old things in new ways and new things in old ways. So, I have a small soft spot for this visit as it was definitely one to reflect on and laugh about. I've kind of gone off my normal trail with this post. In the end, if you are in need of something different that won't break the bank, check out Steak & Fries for something different.

Review Visit: October 29th, 2012…read more Chick-fil-A will Chick-fil-you-up. Living in the Central Illinois area, Chick-fil-a was only available via commercials and advertisements (or long drives). Luckily, the day came where the one in Peoria was built and opened it's doors to customers. Erin, Matt and I stopped in after a day exploring Bloomington-Normal and we were famished. It was a first for all of us and we were excited to try out the place that has rave reviews and good word-of-mouth. We luckily got to Chick-fil-a when there wasn't a long line in the drive thru or a packed lobby. Busy, yes, but not uncomfortably so. This place was swamped with people for months after it opened. We must've gotten extremely luckily with our timing. In the years since this visit, I still remember how incredible delicious the food here is. I don't remember what we all ordered but we all loved with what we got. That I do remember. The chicken sandwich was just what I needed after dragging my friend and girlfriend around Bloomington-Normal for the afternoon. I ended up coming back in 2018 with another friend who never had it and it was every bit as delicious as it was back in late-2012. I typically keep my reviews of nationwide chains short (barring some crazy story to share) due to many factors and this one is no exception. All there is to say about Chick-fil-a is that it is incredibly delicious chicken at a decent price. My only critique is that it leaves you wanting more after you finish your meal. Its that good.

It's getting harder and harder to find restaurants that deliver both great food and great service every single time, but Smokin' Notes has never let us down. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and generously portioned. My personal favorite is the fried catfish, it's perfectly crispy on the outside, tender and flaky on the inside, and some of the best I've had. I also highly recommend the greens and yams, which are always cooked just right and packed with homemade flavor. If you're a barbecue fan, the pulled pork is another must-try. It's tender, smoky, and delicious on its own or piled onto a sandwich. The staff is always friendly, welcoming, and attentive, making every visit feel like they genuinely appreciate your business. Whether we're dining in or just stopping by for a meal, the service is consistently warm and efficient. If you're looking for a local barbecue spot with great food, excellent sides, and dependable service, Smokin' Notes BBQ is absolutely worth a visit. We'll definitely keep coming back, and it's a place we have no hesitation recommending to friends and family.

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.

None worked. A kid behind the counter said tap it several times..... I said I already did. I know how to work one of these. So another came out and fiddles and got one up and running. Placed order to go and there was a request to tip!!!! WHY???? This was to go and there was no special service that required it... All employees are already paid full min wage plus. So giving them a tip.... they do not claim it.... I did anyway because I do not want any issues with my order, you would understand if you watched "Waiting" and "Waiting 2".... I place order and wait. I am watching the youth on the grill cooking. He trades off with another. This other kid is just murdering the meat. Shredding the patties like they were to be loose meat instead of fully formed. One had bacon and it fell off when transitioning to dressing station. It lost one piece on the floor and the other was caught on the stainless steel. The one on the floor was left and never replace so someone else who paid for a tip got screwed.... I get my order.... I ordered a Frisco meal deal.... They left my fries out.... I pointed it out and said " This is what I get for pre tipping you all?".... I got no answer.... I did get the fries shortly.... They were luke warm.... Went to get my soda.... Wanted RootBeer..... out..... Went to other machine....out.... Got a sprite and left.... Get home...Sandwiches not dress according to my instructions. Missing tomatoes and pickles. I ordered chilli.... Absolutely no spoon or crackers no ketchup for fries.... I sent a complaint in 3 days ago.... No reply. Nothing.... People save you time and effort.... DO NOT PRE TIP!!! ALWAYS PULL COMPLETE ORDER OUT IN FRONT OF EVERYONE TO INSPECT... Horrible!!!
