This place feels more like a bar that serves food than a restaurant, but don't let that discourage you. It is very well air conditioned (bring a jacket or sweater and wear long pants!) and, surprising for a bar, was actually quiet enough for conversation without raised voices. Our waitress the first night was Jillian and we loved her! She was extremely efficient and friendly and had helpful info about breakfast options. The wine was a generous pour, the fried cauliflower was a pleasure, and the hamburger very good. The desserts are made in house (try finding that at any other restaurant!) and we were lucky that it was Boston cream pie the first night we ate there. Sooooo good!!!! On our return visit, I had to restrain myself from getting the cauliflower again and had the brisket, which was a special that night. Perfection! Smoky, melt in your mouth meaty goodness. My dining companion said the salmon with bourbon glaze was the best salmon he had ever had. And he has lived a long life. The menu also includes fried gizzards (which I was told are frequently ordered) and fried baloney. The prices for everything were reasonable. This place is clearly popular with locals, who come in to have a drink and buy lotto tix from the vending machine by the door. Everyone was friendly and in a good mood. The folks at the next table struck up a conversation with us on their way out. If there is only one place to have dinner in downtown Peru, at least it is a great place!

Allegedly, in 1933, Dillinger robbed the near by police station of guns and ammo. Hence the name...Dillinger's Bar & Grill. Dillinger's is a smaller but wide open restaurant. An inviting bar is centrally located. The wooden floors, ceilings and hand-hued beams are probably original to 1880's business structure. The facility is simple and sports a lot of Dillinger references like the table tops. I found the team here to be very friendly and willing to serve. The menu is fairly large with lots of Dillinger coded menu items to choose from. The prices were very reasonable with decent portion sizes (i.e. no highway robbery here lol). We started with the onion rings. They had a thick piece of onion and equally thick batter. The batter had a bit of a beer seasoning, slight oily taste and a moderately crunch. Really good tasting ring! The side salad was small with a nice mix of simple side ingredients - tomatoes, onions and cheese. My wife had the Wheelman wrap. She said it was loaded with tasty turkey and bacon flavors. She liked the fresh taste. The fries were thinner and crispy. I ordered the Silent Shot breaded tenderloin. It was very thick and juicy. The pork taste really came out nicely. The breading was thick like the onion rings - slight crunch and slightly oily. The sandwich came with all the usual toppings. The Cole slaw was also very tasty. The small slaw pieces were almost diced. The mayo base was slightly sweet with a hint of vinegar. It stuck to the slaw pieces without being soupy. Overall another interesting, out of the way place, with good drops and service... to dine and experience some Americana.

I have dined in a few times since my previous review. The inside of this Burger King is modern &…read morepretty comfortable. Even though I long for the old days where trays could easily be dumped into trashcans, etc. I do like it here. Service varies. On one occasion I wasn't acknowledged at all. Other times I've received excellent and immediate service whether they were slow or busy. Sometimes food comes out fast. Sometimes it's slower but not excruciatingly so. There are times the tables, awkward trashcans, and drink station could use a little more attention being wiped down, but this restaurant is clean overall. I like the booths along the large windows. The other diners have been pleasant. It's not a rowdy or demanding crowd from my experience. There seem to be some regulars. Of all the fast food places available, I like Burger King the best. One reason why I like Burger King is that they have the Impossible Whopper. Even though it's been overdone or sloppy at times and never resembles a stock photo, it is something I can eat and veganize. Fry portions seem smaller than I remember from days of old and prices have definitely gone up quite a bit. It's about $10 for the Impossible with a medium fry and close to $12 for the large Impossible combo. There is a charge for water if you're not into consuming the fountain drinks. The regular cheeseburger patty isn't big enough to fit the bun and have also increased in price. You gotta love the signature sesame seed bun though. Despite minor flaws, this is a quiet place where I enjoy sitting once in a while even though I normally don't eat fast food. The overhead music is usually decent as well with a lot of 80s tunes.

The extensive menu has the hamburgers covered superbly, does a credible fish 'n chips, has a passable Mexican/American section, good salads... basically if you can't find something that appeals to you here, you need to try harder. The beer list (from a full bar) is also more than adequate. (3 Floyds, I'm looking at you!) And I've never had a less-than-generous sample on the occasions I've asked. Also worth mentioning is the service. I've never once had a bad interaction with wait staff. Patient, knowledgeable, helpful... doesn't matter if they're slammed or dead (and Peru certainly serves up both), the wait staff is great. The whole "this is not quite a sports bar" vibe also works somehow. Lots of reasons to head to Beef's.
