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!

Seeing the constant influx of customers right at supper time told me this place has to be good. Everything is sold separately and they have a little bit of something for everyone. This had to be the best chicken in town. Crispy outside and juicy Inside makes for a great tender (or tendo as they call them), these come with some of the best pickles and toast. Honestly, I could probably have used a few more pickles but that's me. You can choose your heat level too. The potatoes with dill were so good! Portions are decent too. I saw someone leaving with what looked like a milkshake that I'm getting next time. It looked like the perfect way to cool off on there hot summer days. I think I'll have to try a burger next time.

Review Visit: April 18th, 2016…read more This place definitely garners the attention it deserves. On one of my many trips (with a friend that didn't like being in photos), we stopped for pizza at the recommendation of many people we knew. We walked in on a sunny afternoon with empty bellies and high expectations. We were greeted by a friendly staff and a post-lunch winding down of the restaurant. There were a handful of employees who stopped in for a bite to eat but they all were wrapping up to go back to work. We were seated at a table and given menus and some waters. My friend and I have similar taste buds, so we quickly settled on the Chicken Bacon Ranch pizza. If memory serves me right, I got my half of the pizza with jalapenos. I do love me a bit of a kick to my food. With the lunch rush past us, we got great service as we were really the only ones in there after about 10 minutes. Our waitress was prompt with everything and just great. It wasn't long before our pizza was brought out to us and boy did it look good. It's not stranger on this blog that I love pizza and Garner's was great. Each bite was full of flavor and each slice being exactly what our bellies needed before we started exploring Bloomington. About the only complaint I would have is that Garner's is in a weird location. It seems to be a newly-built area and I am not entirely too familiar with Morton but it seems to be in a weird location. When my GPS was taking us here, I had doubts the address was correct... but I am glad that I was proven wrong. Garner's was worth the hesitation while driving there.

The bathrooms were clean with Cintas dispensers for soap, tissue and towels. We had two three meat specials. Catfish, chicken wing dings and rib tips with fried okra, collard greens and the other with green beans and candied yams. The chicken had a dry rub on it. We couldn't really taste it, but they were well cooked well. Fried hard and crunchy with a tender fillet inside. The rib tips were good but seemed more like mini ribs. They were tender but didn't fall apart. The greens were a bit spicy but so good. The fried okra melts in your mouth. The candied yams were sugar sweet and full of flavor. The green beans had bacon in them. Overall it was a great meal. Go enjoy You won't be disappointed!

The new Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers just recently opened up in Peoria! This place has been…read morenonstop busy since opening. On opening night alone, the drive-thru line was literally two blocks long. I had friends who waited about 45 minutes in that line, and they said the chicken was still hot and fresh when they finally got it, they were very satisfied and honestly, that's impressive. When we ate here for the very first time there was so much activity behind the counter, I'm talking at least 20 employees! Happy employees who enjoyed doing their job, it was refreshing, and they all had great customer service! Despite the fact there were so many people and how crowded it was they were able to make it run smoothly and everyone was still so kind! The food is pretty good overall, and I know a lot of people are huge fans of Cane's sauce. I truly believe some folks go there just for that sauce alone! The coleslaw is sweet and crisp and the garlic toast is always hot and buttery. Would be nice to see them have some sort of a dessert on the menu board down the road! The drive-thru setup is also really unique. Instead of just a window, they actually have a door where employees can walk out to deliver food. I've never seen anything like that before, but it seems more convenient and probably makes things run more smoothly during the rush. I love how they decorate their restaurants with the disco balls and the Cane's mural with the bricks somewhere located in the restaurant. I find that there's usually at least one unique table too. I like how they're all unique in their own ways but similar at the same time! Prices are decent, the chicken is fresh, and the hype is real. If you're thinking eating out for dinner, go get you some Cane's!

So today I tried to get the special of buy one get one free. But when I tried the lady said with a smug attitude that I had to get the card yesterday in order to get it.

The food is mid anyway, chik fil a is right next door and so is Popeyes. But they have now lost my business forever and you should never go there either. The way they treated a disabled vet is just mind boggling.
