Food was okay .. service was pretty good. BUYER BEWARE! Prices on the menu are mot accurate and they know it. I won't return on principle. Suggestion to the business .. invest in digital qr menus you can update. Charging any more than the menu suggests is a good way to lose customers. I doubt the 5 of us return. read more

I have been there twice to eat. Oh my goodness, I will start with the wait staff. Each lady was incredibly attentive and very complementary of the food. The first time I had the Italian Beef and it was amazing! Steaming hot and juicy, the flavor was superb. I had crispy fries with it and they were perfect (at least the way I like them)! I brought half home and when I warmed it up in the oven it was as good as the original in the restaurant. Today I asked about the tenderloin! It's hand made, and so huge it does not fit in the bun. The toppings I ordered were raw onions, pickle relish and mustard. I could only eat about half or less than half. The crispy fries were again outstanding, and brought half of them home. I cannot say enough about the wait staff and the food! I usually go around 1 p.m. and there are plenty of tables available. They also serve homemade pizza which I haven't tried yet. Whoever is leading the food and cooking should get a gold star. There are not too many bar/restaurants that serve quality food at this level. Kudos to all the staff!!!!!!!! read more

I ate here a couple of nights last week when I was in Peoria for a conference. I was really disappointed in the hotel, but finding this gem across the street was the highlight of my trip. Good food and an absolutely awesome bartender with a great personality and who was on top of everything. I'll definitely be back in the next time I'm in Peoria. read more

Happy hour disappointment. Went for happy hour planning to return for dinner with friends. Ordered two 250 beers one bud one ultra. Went to leave to pick up my buddies and was charged four dollars for the ultra. I asked what's going on.? they replied Ultra is not a 250 happy hour beer . Why didn't you tell me? Oh well. Well, oh well this person did not come back for dinner and will not come back again. I do not like to be ripped off and treated Rude. read more

In town for a conference and a group of us decided to give this place a try. I was one of the ones through the door. I hear a man yelling "how many?" Server tells him like 12-15. He then shouts something about no call ahead and how "super disrespectful" that is. 3 of us heard this loud and clear. When I questioned the server about who said it she acted like it hadn't been said. I asked to speak to the man that said it and she again denied anything was said. The 3 of us that heard it walked out. So sorry that we tried to bring some business to you. I assure you, it will never happen again! read more

Nice bar and restaurant. Plenty of TVs for the game. I usually come here whenever in town. read more

The Fifth Quarter - After work cocktails - Sports Bars Near Me - East Peoria, Illinois

Love the fifth Quarter! They have amazing food! I either get the chicken tenders, pepperoni pizza or the tenderloin. They have amazing homemade fries! read more

A business colleague and I were recommended to try this place while in town working. First thing the waitress told us was that they only had pizza and calzones available. So we ordered calzone. Afterwords I asked if they had any appetizers available? She responded "yes", handed us a menus and walked away without waiting for us to place an order. Approximately 10 minutes later she asked if we needed anything as she continued walking past us and not even stopping to wait for an answer. I asked for an order of mozzarella cheese sticks. She shook her head no and continued walking away! The calzone was mostly all bread with very little ground up meat of some kind. I will never go back!!! read more

Went for lunch with a girlfriend on a Wednesday. Laura B was a fantastic waitress, very pleasant, smiling took our orders very well, food came out on time (of which I was not in any hurry). Had the bacon and blue burger which was fantastically made, and the onion rings were fresh and good and crunchy. atmosphere of the restaurant is great with big screen TVs for lots of sports will definitely come back again. Thank you Laura B. read more

Service is horrible here for both in-house and to-go orders. They take the phone off the hook when they're busy, so it's nearly impossible to make a call in order. Very disappointing and frustrating. read more

Basically, your average sports bar. Lots of tvs, lots of different things on. I had the tenderloin sandwich and it was absolutely fantastic! Lots of food for the price. The draft beer was cold, tasted fresh. My only complaint is that the onion rings were soggy and full of grease - almost like the oil wasn't hot enough. Other than that, I'd come back read more

LOVE their pizza and grilled chicken salad! The covered patio is a great addition and perfect for summer nights. read more

The Fifth Quarter - delish pork tenderloin sandwich. this is only half!! - Sports Bars Near Me - East Peoria, Illinois

Service was terrible. Another couple that sat down right before us received their food before we even ordered. Then it took 20 minutes to get our bill after we were done eating. read more

The 5 Q. Hey hey hey heyyyy. Hope and Michelle have been our servers for years. Always serve us graciously! Always great pizza pie, good prices on pitchers, and more. Outrageously beaut outdoor pat. (That's short for outrageously beautiful outdoor patio). Lots of 40 ups here but I like taking dominance with my younger crew (hehehe dirty mind) Great music on weekends, great place, great laughs, fun, and sometimes we get free shots! Our continual loyalty to this 1+1+1+1+1 Q is amazing and for an obvious reason. We love this Q. It's out home. It's our place. It's our life. (Review not over) They have a back room for parties and bigger events that is a nice space. However, you can also sit alone there by yourself and order motezeralla sticks. read more

Came in and sat at bar. Waited 5-10 minutes and never even acknowledged we were there. Bartenders asked people 3 seats down if they needed anything but ignored us. We walked out. Been wanting to try this place. Won't try again. read more

The Fifth Quarter has good, homemade Chicago style food. We are especially fond of the tenderloin and fries. The atmosphere is cool, lots of tvs with sports. The prices are decent, but if you are looking for genuinely friendly staff.......not so much. We dont sit in the bar and we never order alcoholic drinks, so it seems like we get less attention aside from a rehearsed "Hi how are you". We go back time and time again regardless! The outdoor seating area is very nice! read more

This place is god awful. Came in for lunch. Ordered a Pepsi and it was flat. Ordered the chicken strip lunch "special" for $7.99. The chicken strips tasted like they were fried in old grease and were rubbery. The fries had the same terrible taste as the chicken strips, so I assume they were fried in the same old grease. The only thing I liked was the bbq sauce that I had to smother my food in just to be able to stomach it. read more

Bar is ok. Called last call an hour b4 bar closed. An hour then refused to serve another drink tire rest of night. Very unprofessional

Decided to try something different. Noticed thru reviews that the pizza is talked about. It was funny because there was a juice machine churning some drink mix. Reminded the wife and I of a place at the old Pekin mall. The Orange Bowl. I said lets hope the pizza is better. Yeah not happening. The pizza is crap. The garlic bread bites had very little garlic flavor, but tasted 10x better than the pizza. Imagine the pizza they served in high school. Its better than this garbage. The poor staff was running their butts off. 2 waitress's for about 40-50 people all seated in various locations. Are you kidding me? Definitely won't go back, even if it was free!! read more

Good Italian beef sandwich with real deal giardiniera. Bartender was nice and attentive. Cool joint

Excellent sports bar and pizzeria. The foods feature some classic Chicago style sandwiches - Italian beef, Italian sausage, meatball, burgers, wraps, etc...They also offer "100% made from scratch" pizzas. I selected the Italian beef, dipped in aus jus. The beef was piled high and was very tasty. The wife had the Italian sausage, maxwell street style, which featured mustard grilled onion and a pickle spear. The pickle spear on the sandwich was a first for her but surprizingly she enjoyed it. Fries also came with the sandwiches. Food and bottled beer was reasonalbly priced. Five dollar pitchers - a special while we were there. Great atmosphere for a casual night eating out or getting together with friends. read more

When we arrived there to get our takeout, it was obvious we were the only ones wearing masks, not even the workers were. On top of that, no one was social distancing and it was packed. We picked up the order, they didn't give us a receipt, which was shady, but at the time, we thought it was fine. And it did seem that way, until we realized that they forgot a part of our order, the ravioli, and had to call them to get it. They originally wanted us to get it a different day, but they didn't even have our information because we paid in cash. Speaking of prices, the prices online were different then what we paid. When we came back, it was the same lady we'd serve us before. She pretended not to recognize us. We didn't get a discount for the missing ravioli. Overall, the food's okay and the service's bad. read more

Would like to let anyone looking for a great place to eat n relax 5th Quarter is the place to go. We were there on 08/14/20 n had chicken strips n homemade tenderloin both were hot n delicious.

"A lunch to die for??" Every Friday a group of us coworkers go out to lunch. Today we made the mistake and chose the 5th Quarter. I had the Combo - sausage covered with Italian beef, grilled peppers and onions, nestled in a hogie bun. The sausage was quite tasty but the Italian beef was refrigerator chilled and was a bad contrast to the warm sandwich. Very disappointing but not as unlucky as my coworker Jonathan was. He ordered the 10oz burger, plain with NO cheese. When it came he immediately noticed that it had cheese. He mentioned this to the waitress and we explained that he is allergic to cheese. Eating cheese can cause Jonathan to go into anaphylactic shock. This is an allergy that needs to be taken seriously. She nonchalantly took it away and returned a short time later with his order. She stated that she had originally picked up the wrong order. He opened the bun and noticed cheese bits on the bun cap. Again he pointed this out to the waitress. She coolly said she would get him a new bun. While she was gone, he turned the beef over only to find more cheese left from where they had scrapped the original burger and then tried to serve it again. He showed this to her and she casually said they would make him a new burger; absolutely no shock on her face or apologies offered. Finally he was brought a burger without cheese. Instead of the 10oz. burger he ordered it was the small 5oz. burger. He took a few bites and then realized that they had rushed the cooking and the center was raw. He was then given a bill for $10.05. After some coaxing, Jonathan went to the register to talk to the manager. Instead, the cook came out to talk with him. The cook lightly referred to Jonathan as the "cheeseburger guy". They did finally wave the burger bill but still charged him for the $1.99 Pepsi. This wasn't our first time to eat there but it will be my last. Unfortunately Jonathan left hungry and we were all late getting back to the office. It is a bad enough to serve poor tasting food, but to disregard the health of customers is disgraceful. read more

The Fifth Quarter - Scrapped the cheese and reserved as a burger without cheese. No apologies offered. - Sports Bars Near Me - East Peoria, Illinois

See all

Overall not impressed despite my repeated visits, I keep coming back hoping for more! Food is lackluster. The polish sausage isn't a fresh raw sausage cooked to order, it's one of those pre-cooked Oscar Meyer kielbasa versions that is pretty much a big hot dog. Pizza is decent although they have a hard time getting the orders correct if you change anything from their menu options. Wings were forgettable. We have experienced some long waits inside when it's not busy, the bartender seems to go MIA completely if it's dead. Their tap and bottle selection seems randomly selected which makes it difficult at times to find good options. Definitely more of a family type place so expect messes caused by children and/or actual children running around. read more

Good prices and food. Atmosphere w little lacking. Cement floors, metal chairs. There was no jukebox/music playing and no sound on any TV so was kind of strange for a bar. Service was good! read more

Came in for lunch, it was my first time ever being here. They seem to have a decent beer selection but we just had water since we were here for lunch haha. We both got the chicken salad one grilled one fried. It was AMAZING!!! Def the best bar salad I've had! They have great ranch!! The service was great even though they were pretty busy for lunch and only 2 bartenders / servers! The girl were very polite and attentive! Will def be back!! read more

I and a group of 30 (or so)retired military members decided to have a lunch at the Fifth Quarter (East Peoria IL) one Saturday afternoon this week. The staff there ensured that a good time was had by all and I would highly recommend them for any size of gathering. The Fifth Quarter has an outside patio that is covered and surrounded by a low wall and fencing. Inside is a typical sports bar. Both areas are inviting and spacious. Our group stayed mostly on the patio area but since it is a rather large area there was enough room that we did not crowd the other patrons that were out there. We had scheduled the meeting and management had enough waitstaff on hand to tend to the additional influx of people. Our main server was hugely pleasant and efficient. Orders were taken, drinks refilled, and moneys were exchanged promptly. I never saw her make any errors and was impressed because tending to us had to be similar to herding cats. She was GOOD! The Fifth Quarter has a pretty extensive menu and most meals that day ran to about $15 or less (tip included). I never heard anyone complain about portion size or quality and all I can say is that my mushroom and swiss burger (with hand cut fries) was excellent. With fountain cola and tip my bill totaled $13 and change. After dining we lingered and chatted for about 45 minutes to an hour and never felt pressured to move on. To the owners, managers and staff of the Fifth Quarter, thanks for being such gracious hosts. read more

I went in for a beer and some food, I never was given or asked if I wanted a food menu. The bartender was brief and non friendly. I would never hire her at my bar. I drank a tall beer quickly and left. With nothing from the fake tender of why I was leaving so quickly read more

As far as the place in a whole 1 star is not fair, but if I could give the bar tender in this place Leslie less than a star I would. We came in to enjoy some dinner and drinks as a party of 3, and as usual we always attract a crowd that ends up meeting us. I consider myself a person that can get along with anyone and am always courtesy to the wait staff and bartenders, but this particular bar tender was NOT A NICE person from get go, she is rude and hateful to customers and proceeded to tell our table she was not speaking to anyone at our table and that she had personal issues, WOW! Granted we had 1 person that needed to leave and seen to it he did, but even after she continued to be RUDE. Needless to say we wont be back and its a shame especially the people that we like to bring into businesses and the money we spend. Waitress was doing 3 things at once and was still courtesy and prompt as much as possible. Good thing she was our server and not the bar tender or there would of been NO TIP. I spoke with several people that go there on a regular basis and they were QUICK to say that Leslie is an unfriendly B#$@# and that a couple of the guys boycotted the place because of her for over a month in hopes she would get fired. Small business owners need to know when 1 of their employees is making an impact good or bad and that is why I am writing this review. Advice- fire the nasty attitude and gain someone that can work a crowd without a breakdown- ITS THE HOLIDAYS!! read more

The food is just ok. The atmosphere is great for watching sports or hosting a happy hour. They have a lot of televisions and an decent selection of beer. The pizza wasn't great (it was much better at Vertucci's -- which inhabited the building prior to this restaurant). The salad was really not worth it. The chicken wings are not bad. I'd go back to watch a game, but not if I'm hungry. I'm hoping the food will improve as the place matures. read more

The outdoor patio was nice for enjoying our beer and pizza. The Supreme Pizza was great! This was one of the best pizzas I've had, the ingredients were all fresh and the cheese had a unique flavor. I thought it was nice for a sports bar, our server was friendly and kept our drinks fresh. Overall great food and service. read more

We came in here a few weeks ago, and enjoyed our rather large pizza with their super Nachos and cheese with all the toppings! My bill with 4 drinks was only around 30.00 not including tip! We'll be back! read more

$40 for frozen pizza and Walmart jalapeño poppers we ordered and had to remind to bring to the table. Asked for a box and still had to wait as they chatted with other people. Ordered all drinks at the bar. Service lacks. Food is frozen on a griddle. read more

If you like dining in a filthy place that smells like a freshly cleaned crime scene, you've found the place. Bathrooms are filthy, they use styrofoam cups which I think is ridiculous. Food is mediocre so is service. Used to like it a lot more when it was Vertucci's, seemed that the staff was much better back then, there seems to only be maybe 1 or 2 of the servers that used to be there when it was called Vertucci's. read more
