First, our waitress was outstanding. Very courteous and helpful. Our flat iron steak was perfect. Cooked medium and very tender and seasoned perfectly. Our potato salad was really good. read more

We arrived around 8 pm on a Friday night. We got right in with no wait. The restaurant was not crowded. Our waitress was attentive. Our beer was cold. The food came in a timely manner. Will definitely return. Both entrees were delicious. read more

So I get at sweet peas is I get the pretzels bites and it was good and I got pretzel chicken waffles fries with honey mustard Coke

The jalapeño popper chicken sandwich was fantastic! I should have split it with my wife. She ordered the pretzel battered chicken tenders. Both portions were very large. The couple we were with enjoyed their food as well, one had the special grilled cheese of the day, and the other a Hawaiian chicken type entrée. We didn't have time for dessert or drinks, but the entrées were all well liked! read more

What an adorable place! The coffee smelled amazing but we just ordered sandwiches to go and they were tasty. I'm a vegetarian so naturally I got the Lisa Simpson! Yum. The burgers coming out of the kitchen looked amazing! We will be back! read more

The highs: The gal holding the door open for all the senior citizens. I tipped her. Thank you. The lows : great that you clean the bathroom floors, very bad that they are slippery, like ice. Please consider using degreaser . ( Law suit waiting to happen) The pork tenderloin sandwich that I had wasn't great in fact , Casey's general store has station makes them better and bigger for less $ The little room gets colder than cold when the air is on , uncomfortably so. Poor engineering by the builder. All the hard surfaces ( glass, metal ceilings, walls make for a very loud Environment, everyone has to shout over everyone. Makes conversation unpleasant. Parking is very poorly planned, lack of handicap spaces is annoying. Placement of pick up " to go" orders in the lot is very poor. Our table was sticky , they washed it off for us prior to serving. The floors, chairs and menus were clean. Tolerable : The waitress did ok, not great, had to get my own water once, Food was good , same as a dozen other places in this price range. I am old and might give it a second chance next year, but am in no hurry to rush back. read more

No im sorry but we don't live in geneseo so for us to go to sweet peas is a little drive .. this is our experience.. the food is typical nothing special.. nothing id want to do again .. the ribs were so over done like they had been sitting all day.. the chicken looks like you get out of a frozen package.. if I wanted to eat that I'd stay home.. the staff seemed like we were an afterthought.. I'm just saying .. if you're wanting a good meal this is not the place.. read more

It was a great place to go after our 5 hour drive. We stopped in got a cold one and something to eat. Good food and good service! Nice pub atmosphere with friendly people. read more

Holy smokes where to begin. Came here on a busy Friday night on game night nonetheless. Service was spectacular. I ordered the Jalepeno Popper Mac n Cheese. Add Chicken. If that ain't the best thing on the menu then I can't wait to try what is. Also tried the chicken strips and those were also 5/5. I never order pasta for dinner but I certainly glad I did this time. The picture doesn't do the taste justice. read more

Stopped at this spot (Sweet Peas) on one of our trips back from IL to IA. Had never been to the area before however driven by it hundreds of times. Decided to jump off interstate 80 and try something new. Cute and clean with welcoming staff. Service was very quick but food was well prepared. We got the Smokin'n Burger (brisket and bacon on the burger), the Jalapeño Popper Chicken sandwich (pretzel battered). The chicken sandwich was huge, crispy and juicy. Burger also juicy and delicious. One of my kiddos got the PB&J and it was also a decent sized portion, especially for a child and she enjoyed it. Got the fried pickles which were perfectly fried and salty. All together a great experience and always feels good when you're able to try something new and be rewarded with it actually being worthwhile. We will definitely be coming back as we live in Des Moines but travel this route to see family regularly and often are looking for a good place for a pit stop. read more

A good bar and grill off 80 in geneseo Illinois - had to charge up car for long trip back to CA, was hitting up fast food until saw the sign, food good known for its chicken tenders - full bar and reasonable prices. read more

Not only is the food absolutely amazing, but the service was phenomenal. Our server at this location, Megan, was incredibly kind and genuine-- and very helpful. The prices are another highlight of this location. The portions of food you get at the price its sold at is mind blowing. Great atmosphere, not too loud. Thank you Megan for giving my family and I the best dining experience we've ever had! read more

Food was delicious as usual and the service was very efficient. Nice place to eat and it offers a lovely atmosphere.

Good food and great service. It's actually really hard to find both of those qualities in one location anymore, so I was pleasantly surprised. This was a quick stop off of interstate 80 while traveling, and I reckon I'll be stopping by again. read more

Went here for lunch with the in laws on a weekday after noon.... I ordered the chicken sandwich with the bacon cheese and raspberry pepper jelly.... It was good. My mother in law got the same sandwich. The father in law ordered the pork tenderloin..... ummm it wasn't good.... It was about 1/2 thick including the breading. Clearly a low quality frozen product.... My father in law said it was dry.... He ate very little of it.... You would think the waitress would have noticed and inquired about the meal.... Nope not a word.... So not order this sandwich... read more

We stopped here while driving across I80, because of the good reviews and we needed dinner. The reviews were not wrong, the food and service were great. I ordered the chicken sandwich, beer battered with Swiss and mushrooms. I love fried chicken and this is definitely one of the best chicken sandwiches I have ever eaten. The baked potato was also great. My husband had the Hawaiian Chicken dinner and he said it was good. The service was on point and a very clean establishment. W equals definitely visit again if we needed to eat during our next I80 travels. read more

Food was very good! My wife and I both had the shrimp with raspberry chipotle sauce. Service was just as good. Pulled off I80 to charge our car at Casey's and walked across the street to eat! read more

Ate here for lunch and was seated right away by the host. The restaurant is a nice upscale casual restaurant. Today I had the SP Cuban sandwich with baked beans. The sandwich was piled high with pulled pork! I love pulled pork so I was quite happy. If there is one critique it would be there wasn't enough ham to give it a good Cuban sandwich flavor. Enjoyed it and will be back. read more

We eat here about once a month, both in person and take-out. Such a great family option in Geneseo with something to please most! Anything that is chicken and pretzel battered is a GO! Shrimp Dinner, Jalapeno Popper Sandwich and the Mozzarella Sticks are awesome. Servers are always friendly and even when busy we've been accommodated pretty quickly. Take out is easy and efficient! read more

I came here for a quick dinner on the way home and had my pup with me. When I entered I asked the hostess if he could sit outside and she and another employee said sure I don't see why not. I then asked if they had a gate to bring him in and she said no he can come straight through to the patio though. Ok no prob. I brought him to the patio quickly and with no disturbance. I sit at my patio table and very quickly I was not greeted by a worker who instead demanded "Is thst service dog?" in a very accusatory tone. Taken aback I replied, "No is there a problem, I was told he could be here" She then told me no he has to be OFF the patio in the brush, I look over and there is a gate and it's a unkept weedy exit area. I was upset and how rude this woman was treating me like I was smuggling in a fake service animal, I asked if there was a reason and she spat it was the owner's policy. Fine. I ended up taking him back to the car since the brush was very pokey. 1. Get all your employees educated on policies as important as that. 2. Put a Service Animal Only sign on the door. I had no idea and was treated as if I did something to harm the place. 3. Fix that lady's attitude. She really put a horrible taste in my mouth before I even could look at the menu and I'm only one person but I won't be back bc of her specifically and I want her to know that. read more

Best chicken tenders ever!! Their pretzel battered chicken tenders are super crispy, and their beer battered chicken tenders are super flavorful. Service was fast, and overall a great experience. read more

We've come to Sweet Peas twice now and I really appreciate their outside dining area. The service is always very friendly. The menu is full of appealing items; I want to try their famous chicken strips! The first time we visited, my flat iron steak was absolutely perfect. On my second visit, I decided to try another designated favorite and ordered the Cuban sandwich, which was much less impressive. Sweet Pea's fries are really good, and the fried bread that came with my mom's meal is delicious. My boyfriend and dad liked the bbq a lot. Sweet Pea's is a little bit out of the way for most QC residents, but it's definitely worth the trip! read more

*Wonderful waitress, Alexis, who was quick and efficient. *Our food came out in literally 5 minutes. *Taco salad was yummy and boyfriend's pork tenderloin sandwhich was also good. We stopped here on the way to Ohio from Iowa, we were both hungry and saw Sweet Pea's had good reviews! I'm glad we stopped in! read more

Sweet Peas Grill & Bar - Grilled Hawaiian Chicken, Jambalaya, and waffle fries . - Bars Near Me - Geneseo, Illinois

A friend and I were visiting another friend in Geneseo and had to kill a few hours before meeting her so stopped here for lunch. The food was really good! My friend had a BLT which was heaped with applewood bacon and waffle fries, both of which got a thumbs up from him. I ordered a pork tenderloin sandwich which is my go-to whenever I see it on a menu since it's a rarity in my hometown of Chicago. This one did not disappoint so I definitely made the right choice. It was a tough choice though because they have a lot of tempting dishes on the menu. Even though I love waffle fries I decided to go with a lighter side and chose coke slaw. It was the best part of the meal. It was very creamy and a bit on the sweet side but it was perfect to me. The service was friendly and the prices very reasonable. I look forward to my next visit. read more

This place is tucked away in a strip mall. The food is beyond excellent. We had appetizers and dinner. All excellent. The service is exceptional. We spoke with the waitress before we left and told her we loved the place and we would definitely be back. We had taken a day trip and randomly stopped. We live in Montgomery Illinois but we will make sure to stop again as we travel this way often. As we walked out the greeter handed us a take out menu and written on it was...Thank for coming! Stay safe! As we were driving back in the start of a snow storm. This place is well worth it!! Be sure to stop in. read more

Glad I found this place. Was staying at the best western next door and walked over for supper. Josh, the bartender was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu plus great to talk too. I ordered the jalapeño popper chicken sandwich with fries. The sandwich was amazing and I ate the whole thing cause I could not stop. Was talking to the bartender josh and stated that I was stuck on the road for my birthday. At the end of the meal, he brought me a cheese cake on the house to take back to my hotel. The staff is super friendly and the food is amazing. Will definitely stop here anytime I'm in the area. read more
