Sitting at the counter is our favorite, so we can visit with our favorite waitress, Angelica! ....and the price is right!! Their pancakes are larger than their plates, hope you have a huge appetite and everything else is mighty tasty, nothing disappoints me here! read more

My parents took me here Friday night for the fish dinner. I wasn't expecting much for $7.99 but the fish was great! The servings are 200% bigger than you would expect and it was awesome. Service was friendly and fast. Place was packed and now I know why. read more

Eating a "works omelette" with hash browns right now. Its great. Older crowd, so you know its the place for breakfast. Definitely recommend, cute atmosphere. read more

This was the first time me and my wife. The cafe is a clean and busy with a lot of customers. As soon as we sat down the waitress took our drink orders and then gave us time go thru the menu. Not even couple of minutes has gone by and another person from the wait staff came by to make sure if someone has came by to take our order. That itself impressed us. When the waitress came back to take our order, she was very helpful and patient answering questions. We both ordered the fish fry plate and salad with some extra toppings. They give you 4 good size fish with your plate that were good. Now in our experience of going to restaurants of different types, they were always either good food and bad service or bad food and good service. It's rare to find a place that has great service and great food. We will definitely be coming back here again. Thank you Peoria Cafe. read more

My husband and I ate here for lunch on Saturday. We always try out local cafes, especially if they have good ratings. The service here was excellent as we were seated immediately and taken well care of throughout our meal. I ordered the chef's salad. It was huge and wonderful. The lettuce was so fresh I would have thought it was just picked. The other items--meat, cheese, tomatoes and eggs--were as tasty and fresh. The ranch dressing was really good. I'd order this again if I got back in town, but I put half of it in a take home container before I started. It's two meals for sure. My husband ordered the twin salads of tuna salad and cottage cheese. He raved about the fresh greens and the tuna salad. Two very full and completely satisfied people will look forward to a return trip to Peoria. read more

The only the reason I gave 2 stars was because the food was good. The service was absolutely horrible. My children and I sat down and waited 6 minutes before being asked if wanted to something to drink by a bus boy. Our server finally showed up 4 minutes later. The food came in decent time and it was good. Our server never came back to check on us. Ever. I had to raise my hand, like I was in school, to get water from the same bus boy who was cleaning a table. This place was not busy at all. Since she never came back I had to go to the counter myself and get our check. I won't go back. read more

This might be a good breakfast place...but even lunch should be good. The lady that was our waitress was too busy and had too many tables. I wanted to order from the children's menu, as being pregnant, I didn't want a big portion and didn't think it was a big deal but she did. So I ordered the grilled cheese. I didn't finish my food. Plus it was bland. I heard good things about this place but turns out it wasn't very pleasant. Charged $1.59 for ranch... and it was a big side that I barley ate a quarter of it.. just disappointed. read more

We arrived at 8:10 for breakfast and had to leave by 9AM for an appointment. Place was really busy. We were seated quickly and a server asked what we would like to drink. They didn't know we were in a bit of a hurry so all of the service is prompt! The husband was going to meet us there so we ordered a coffee for him. After looking over a lengthy menu, our waitress arrived, asked if we knew what we wanted, saw the coffee and vacant chair and asked if she should wait. I told her we needed to order so we did - Croissant breakfast sandwich, she happily offered to change my French toast to regular wheat instead of Texas style toast (+1egg, 2bacon), and the 2-meal (2 eggs, 2bacon, 2cakes). As soon as she walked away, the husband arrived. She saw him sit down, came over after giving him a few minutes and took his order (cornbeefhash, eggs and hash browns I think). We were served our food barely 10 minutes later - including the husband's late order and everything was cooked correctly and tasted great. Coffee refills are offered generously. Love the syrup in the mustard dispenser - no gooey mess! The waitress checked on us and we really had a very nice family breakfast. Two noteworthy reasons for the 5 stars - I never worried we wouldn't be able to finish before we had to leave...the service is so terrific! And when it was clear to our waitress that we were finished eating but my iced tea was low, she offered me a refill, which I accepted and then asked me if I wanted it in a to-go cup!!! This is a first for me and a very welcome service enhancement. On a hot Saturday morning in Peoria, with errands ahead of me, of course I would like some iced tea to join me. The cup was really big too! Don't overlook Peoria Café. Especially if you're a local. We need to take care of our small, home-grown businesses, especially in this part of the city. You won't regret your decision to eat here. read more

Friday Fish Fry is AMAZING!!! This is the place to be on a Friday night if your looking for great fish and chips in the valley. The food and service are both top notch! read more

Great place for breakfast and awesome staff

I love this place. Home cooking and good portion sizes.... egg benidict's are not on the menu, but they have it!! Just do not know why they put tomatoes on it. Chicken fried steak great!! read more

Food was good & affordable, which I love. Many of the staff were on their phones & didn't seem happy at all. However, Annie was amazing, so friendly, & helpful. She even asked us if there's anything we would change about the food & have us a hug on the way out. This small cafe is perfect for a quick yummy breakfast. read more

My 5 year old daughter and I stopped into this place for breakfast while we were waiting for our car to get fixed across the street. This was our first time here and I have to say I love, love, love this place. First, if you are feeling overwhelmed by things going on in the world or people being unkind to each other on social media this place will remind you that people are still kind to one another, you can feel loved and you won't be able to help but leave with a smile. My daughter and I sat at the counter which is right in front of the huge open kitchen. The first thing you'll notice is the friendly customer service. Everyone one on staff, even the cooks, are friendly. The next thing you'll notice is the way the staff gets along. It is literally like you have been invited over for a meal with a big, huge family. They talk and sometimes bicker just like family, but it never makes you feel uncomfortable because you can honestly see, just like with family there is a love for one another. The next thing that you will notice is the people around you. All talking and enjoying each other's company. Chatting and laughing with the staff. Talking about everything from politics to ball games but all with big smiles on their faces even if they are disagreeing. I can only speak to breakfast because that is what we had but it was amazing!!!! Hot and big portions. My daughter got the Mickey Mouse Pancake with bacon and hot chocolate. Our server, Annie, even gave my daughter a second helping of whipped cream on her hot cocoa. I got the 2 eggs, bacon, hash browns and half order of biscuits and gravy. Everything was cooked perfectly, hot and tasted great. Another thing that I thought was great was that no one was on their cell phone, religiously. Sometimes people would take a call but generally people seemed to be just enjoying one another's company. I gave our server a 100% tip, which I never do. That, alone, says a lot about what I thought about this place. Go check it out. You'll love it! read more

Good, quality food every visit!!! Large portions! Very busy, but never a wait! Will return frequently :-)

Well I have to say today will be the last time we eat at the Peoria Cafe. The eggs weren't cooked to order, hash browns weren't even cooked, very cold. I watched the kitchen from were i was sitting and noticed that they dont take the time with their orders. To busy to cook food the way it is ordered, dont send it out. Really need to slow down and cook the food better. And i also noticed the waitress eating bacon and licking her fingers then going over and picking up the toast and putting the butter on. Never washed her hands after eating. Good Bye Peoria Cafe. Beatrice. read more

No fancy decor or fancy creative anything-infused dishes here. Just what you'd expect from a family style restaurant: kids meals that are more than enough food plus a drink for 3.49; thick french fries that are crisy on the outside and fluffy inside, and a Friday night fish fry that trumps Long John Silver. I really liked the coleslaw. Mike's clam chowder was lumpy and won't be ordered again. The kids liked their meals except the picky one who refused to eat the hot dog after she heard they don't sell many. "I've had some better hot dogs from a gas station," she said. The wait staff was quite friendly and attentive. The prices are good and the food is predictable - so if you're in the area and need a place to sit and chat, this cafe fits the bill. By the way, they have some of the freshest iced tea I've had in a long time. And I'm really picky about my iced tea, if you haven't noticed. read more

Pleasantly surprised by the Peoria Cafe. The food was very good (menudo and a Denver omelet), the price was great, and the servers were super friendly. Oh, and the food was prepared quickly! Would definitely come again. read more

Mash potatoes and gravy are nasty no flavor. Waitress only comes one time to table. Than bitch manager forces you to pay gratitude even though your waitress never comes back to ask if you need anything else. Starts arguing with customers. Would not recommend this restaurant. read more

I come here often, and I'll keep coming. The service is amazing! I have had wonderful and attentive service every time! My favorite servers are Meg and Robin--always so sweet! The only reason I give it four stars today is I was under the impression the fish fry was canceled for Black Friday. I was initially so upset at the thought of not getting my golden unlimited fish (I usually down about 8 tasty pieces). I consequently decided I would have to settle for Long John Silver's to satiate my fishy longing. But regardless, I needed my Peoria Cafe fix, so I came in for breakfast. Meg was my server, and she was amazing as usual, but she mentioned that the Fish Fry was still on! I was so shocked, and I know you're thinking "why not skip Long John Silver's for the yummy fishy goodness at the fish fry?" But I can't! When I thought the heavenly fish fry was canceled, I purchased a Groupon for Long John Silver's which would ensure I get an adequate amount of fish. Meg was so sweet and made my breakfast one to remember, but I know tonight when I'm dining on the mediocre fishy wares of Long John Silver's, I will be wishing I was 6 pieces deep at Peoria Cafe! read more

Worst breakfast we have ever had. We were excited to try it because the reviews were pretty good and it's close to Sun City where we spend our winters. Got the cheese omelet with home fries and a biscuit. It was cold and tasteless. The potatoes must have been baked and cut in little squares and barely cooked on the grill. Hubby got the hash browns..same thing. Cold and barely cooked. Honestly, Denny's is better if you want to compare it to something - and I won't go there unless it's the only place open. I cannot understand why there were any good reviews of breakfast. read more

Slightly crappy start to this little adventure...walking in my phone got (what the "man-friend" likes to call) "Glendale custom" aka-I dropped in walking in and shattered the screen. I have insurance and its only a phone so I got over it quick. We walked in and were greeted by an incredibly sweet older lady who later explained she stopped in for a meal one day and next thing she knew she had a hostess job in her spare time. THEN-if that wasn't charming enough we look out the window and see an older John Deere tractor with a grandpa and his grandson just driving to breakfast. Literally they could have served me dog food at this point but the charm had already won me over. And yet-the food was oober yummy. Very home cooked feel. Made me a bit homesick. The staff was awesomely friendly and the atmosphere was fun and light. Very small town feel. Being a small town girl I fell in love. Will be back, hopefully driving in on a John Deere. read more

My mom wanted 'fish fry' for her birthday. We're from the Lake Erie region and like a light, mild fish, lightly breaded. I called around and found that Peoria Café had their fish fry Fridays. The place was packed, but they sat us right away and were very efficient. We weren't sure, after reading the reviews about how big the portions were, if we should order the fish dinner for $7.99 or the all you can eat (think it was $10.99). The waitress said the $7.99 is a big portion, usually enough... so start with that, and if you want more, then I can bump you up to the all you can eat price. Very nice that you don't have to start at the higher price only to later find out it was more than enough food... which it was! The $7.99 meal is plenty! The fish was very good. Lightly breaded, not greasy, not fishy, light, flaky, meaty. Very nice. Comes with cole slaw (not the best ever, but definitely decent - we ate it all... it's a bit heavy on the mayo). Also includes choice of potato - baked, fries or mashed. Mashed may have been instant, it's been a while since we ate here, but I remember being unimpressed. Again, not bad, certainly edible, but not 'blow you away.' Fries were the same thing... so I've gotten the baked potato each time since. It also comes with rolls, but sometimes when we go, we have to ask for them... they are happy to bring them when we ask. The fish is why you should go and why you will more than likely return. IT's very good at a great price. The sides are fine. The service has always been super friendly and it's definitely a 'neighborhood' place. Everyone leaving on Friday night said 'see you tomorrow' - apparently they go there for breakfast too. A lot of waitstaff called customers by name. Cute. read more

amazing food! great service! cheap prices! will be coming back for sure!!!! read more

Stopped in for breakfast on a Saturday morning. They were very busy but service and food was excellent. Serving portions are huge and well worth the price. This place is a must do if your hungry for a quality comfort food. read more

Nice mom and pop place. Daily specials, etc. Good, friendly service and decent food.

We paid our first visit to the Peoria Cafe tonight and came away extremely satisfied with our meal and our service!! The owner's daughter took great care of us and paid special attention to our questions and requests! The food (fish fry) was excellent and a great value! We will be going back again real soon and will spread the word to our friends and neighbors about our fantastic experience! read more

Went on Father's day which appeared to be one of their busiest days ever. That didn't stop the staff from providing amazing customer service and delicious and hot food. The bus boys took drink orders and answered questions to help out, everyone was smiling through the madness and the manager was doing a fantastic job seating people as soon as possible. Can't wait to go back on a slower pace day as well. read more

It's been awhile since I've been to the Peoria cafe. I've always had great service and love the ribeye breakfast meal. Went with my family three of us got Ribeyes one got the French toast. Two of us ordered medium rare and one ordered medium. All the rib eyes were over done no pink whatsoever. And only one rib-eye had seasoning on it. Mine was so well done and tough that I sent it back. Which is something I do not like to do. So what the cook did was literally slap it on the grill for probably a few seconds, it was so raw in the middle that the muscle was still there and you can pull it out. Another person had guacamole with their meal and it was rancid. The Taste was horrible, we all took a little taste just to see what was wrong with it. The owner came out to address our concerns and told us they had to throw the whole batch of guacamole out that they had made that morning. She did say they put too much lemon in it. I'm not sure if that was the case. But if it made her feel better to say that...... Obviously I will not be back to this establishment and will not be recommending it to my friends or family. I don't understand a cook that when something is brought back wouldn't try to do his very best to correct the problem. But to purposely provide someone with something that was so sinewy and raw in the middle and the outside is not even briwned is unbelievable. Obviously I did not eat any of it as I didn't want to be Ill. I just had the toast and my tea. Very sad to see what this establishment has come to. read more

Great food, great prices and great service... gotta come back for the fish fry friday...

1 st time for fish fry. Really good and plenty with single serving. Cinnamon flavor in batter. Very busy, but nice. I'll be coming back for breakfast.. read more

went there for breakfast. service was good, prices lower than many other breakfast places and the food was cooked perfectly. what more could you ask for? read more

The food was good. I ordered the Mexican omelette. It had a nice spice to it although the meat was still possessing much of the fat, which I did not enjoy. I also barely ate my home fries that were more like mashed potatoes because of how over cooked they were. Overall I didn't hate it. I'm not opposed to stopping by again. read more

The only meal worth eating here is the fish fry. The breading is light and they give you a huge portion! The mashed potatoes and gravy were awful. No flavor. The french toast tasted like toast with sugar on it. Eggs had no flavor. They even messed up making chocolate milk. We will not go back again. If my husband wants the fish fry he will have to order it to go as that is the only meal worth going for. read more

Was in the area visiting family and decided to stop in for breakfast. There was really nothing special about it, it was they typical breakfast and not that great. I got the denver omelet and hash browns with a biscuit. My omelet was really good. The veggies and ham were cut up into big chunks, which I prefer over them being diced, eggs were cooked perfectly and there was plenty of cheese. The hash browns were the typical hash browns, however, I felt the portion was way too big. I think I had more hash browns than I did omelet. My biscuit was dry and very, very dense. My husband and I are pancake freaks and we always get a side of pancakes to share with our breakfast. I'm assuming the pancakes were over stirred, they were pretty chewy and tough. My daughter got the breakfast burrito and said it was o.k. Probably won't return as its on the other side of town from where I live and we were not very impressed with the food. read more
