From what I understand this is a family run business & those are my favorite places to eat. Walking in this place is small with a table & 2 chairs. There's more seating outside. We were promptly greeted by everyone. Since it was my first time, it was nice to not be rushed to order. Questions are answered. I had the Italian sandwich & this was the best one I've ever had (those are my go to sandwich). The mix of the meats with the peppers & onions was nice. The bread was perfect. Next time I will get the Italian beef. I tried a bite of the hubby's & boy was it fantastic!

I ordered 1 coney dog with mustard and an Italian beef kit with 1lb of beef, rolls, provolone cheese and a little cup of Giardiniera. The coney dog was amazing! The flavors of the dog, mustard and coney sauce are a perfect mouth watering combination! The Italian beef kit is fantastic. The beef can be microwaved or heated up on a stove. The beef has some unique flavors but is really good and salty. Highly recommend this little restaurant to get some lunch or dinner.

It took me awhile to find this place, but I've been to Lenny's 3 or 4 times in the last couple…read moremonths and I've loved it every time. My favorite thing so far is the Philly chicken sandwich (think like Philly cheesesteak but with chicken instead). It's wonderful. I've found the service to be good as well. It doesn't take too long to get food, and the employees have always been helpful. They also were willing to load my sandwich down with a ton of toppings when asked. There are plenty of good sandwich places in Galesburg, but even in a relatively crowded market Lenny's stands out as one of the great ones.

Beef shish and kafta kabob, with rice, salad, and hummus with pita. Outstanding flavors and fresh food will dominate your order. If you are craving mainly hummus, be warned theirs is a bit more dry and pasty, but clean and good. The meats, rice, and pita hold the line. The staff is chill and will help you. Very easy parking also makes this a smooth visit.

Review Visit: September 15th, 2013…read more Jersey accent not needed to order here. Out of nowhere, Jersey Mike's appeared in East Peoria. I only knew this because I got a flyer in the mail offering a free sandwich for the grand opening of Jersey Mike's. Matt got the same flyer in the mail, so I asked him if he wanted to check the place out. He agreed and we found an afternoon we were both free to redeem our free sandwiches. We got lucky as there wasn't a long wait for us to order our food. The coupon we had was for a free sandwich but we also grabbed some chips and soda to round out the meal. From what I remember, ordering a sub here is like any other sub shop. You pick out what sandwich you want from the menu and then you can customize it to your liking. Matt and I placed our ordered, waited for our food and took a seat outside. I grew up eating Subway in my late teens and early 20s so I am all too familiar with eating and ordering sub sandwiches. It wasn't until I started to travel that I realized that sub sandwiches have more to them than the mass-produced stuff they have at Subway. I've tried Head West, Firehouse Subs, Snarfs, and a few others. Once I tried these places, I haven't had Subway since. It's just my personal opinion but I feel these smaller chains do it better. Does Jersey Mike's do it better than Subway? Yes. Yes it does and then some. Jersey Mike's is easily in my Top 5 for places to get subs. Despite not remembering the specific sandwich I ordered, I do remember being amazed at the softness of the bread and the quality of everything smashed in that small crevice where the bread was split open. Each bite was full of flavor and everything tasted as if it were cooked fresh. It was with luck that I got another flyer in the mail. It was an offer that any money donated to the local firefighters earned you a free sandwich. I took the offer down there, threw some money in their firefighter tip jar and quickly scooped up my free sandwich. I remember being amazed at how good it was and that my first trip wasn't a fluke. If you like subs, you owe it to yourself to try Jersey Mike's (or one of the ones listed above). If you don't have one near you, I would encourage you to see what smaller sub shops are in your area and to try them out. Sometimes its a nice surprise when you try the stuff that isn't known nationwide.

Tucked away in the Twin Tower Plaza at Fulton and Madison, this cafe can be a little tricky to find…read morethe first time. There are two entrances, one on Madison and one on Fulton. The Madison side is easier to spot since it has a larger sign, but when I visited those doors were under renovation. I walked around to the Fulton side, which does not have a big sign but is still open. Look for the glass double doors near the corner, then step inside. It feels like a small indoor walkway or hidden plaza. Once inside, stay along the left corridor and you will see a green fence on your right that marks the entrance to Cultured Grounds. The moment you step in, the space feels welcoming and calm. There are cozy couches, a colorful rug, and sunlight streaming down from the tower above that naturally brightens the room. It feels peaceful, inviting, and different from most downtown spots. They offer sandwiches and salads ready to go, along with a simple menu that includes my favorite avocado toast. It came with arugula, tomato, and a sprinkle of everything bagel seasoning that added great flavor. You can ask how you would like your toast or customize it a bit, which I thought was such a nice touch. I ordered an almond milk matcha and it was smooth and balanced. You can choose sweetened or unsweetened, and they also offer soy and dairy milk options. The seating setup is great with couches, high top tables, and regular tables near the counter. There is also a shared food court area near the other entrance if you want extra space. It was lively but not loud on a Tuesday morning, the kind of place where you can sit back and enjoy your drink without feeling rushed. The charm alone will bring me back, and next time I am buying one of those salads to go.
