Inside we were seated immediately and the booths were very comfortable. Service was great. Very attentive staff. The waitress suggested we try the "award winning" Mac and cheese. It was seriously delicious! It has huge chunks of bacon in it, with a ritz cracker crumble on top... Highly recommend it, as it was our fav part of the meal! My son and I both had a bacon cheddar burger with fries. It's served with candied bacon on a pretzel bun. Very good. My husband had the Philly cheese steak and Cajun fries. Large portions and everything was good.

I'm not sure what the sauce was, but I couldn't stop eating it! Then went with the Asian tacos with brisket. Very interesting combination of sauces and brisket. I added the vinegar based bbq sauce for even more yum! Ended with the key lime pie. Definitely different than I was expecting, but very solid none the less. I highly recommend this place! Go get you some!!

Eating here has made us decide we will never eat BBQ again!!…read more This was hands down the worst BBQ we have ever had and in the running for the worst food! The wings were burnt chunks on a plate. There was more burnt, dry skin and meat than edible meat! The ribs were pretty much the same. Drowning them in the sauce did nothing to make them better!! Served with lukewarm fries and below average other sides, there was nothing redeeming about our plates. The cornbread muffin was good...but it's just two bites.

I would've liked some more greens or something light to cut through the brisket and barbecue flavor. The sweet potato fries were excellent!! Seasons is very spacious and has a cute setup.

He answered questions and offered suggestions. Their website for what beers were offered must have been out of date because we tried to order 2 or 3 and none of them were available so that can get frustrating when trying to order but otherwise service was great! Atmosphere was a fun, laid back vibe...fun chalk board over the bar that displayed different drinks. Big bar area that pretty much ran the length of the room. Give this place a try I was told it's been around since 2016!

We started with a Hot German Pretzal with THICK cheddar cheese, and then each got an Illinois CLASSIC: the HORSESHOE!!! Becky said that the restaurant has the best kind of chrispy fries and her horseshoe was delicious! Mine was too. For desert, we got the GOOEY BUTTER CAKE, with vanilla ice cream. It was as sweet as Becky the night we met, but Becky stuck around a lot longer than this cake (LOL!). A scrumptious way to end the meal. We WILL be BACK!

Oliver's is advertising special menu items for February. They list Jumer's Cinnamon Rolls. Please…read moredo not order these. They DO NOT represent Jumer's or Peoria. Anyone who is from here will be OFFENDED by the poor, miserable attempt. First of all, Jumer's Cinnamon Rolls are made with Bisquick. Oliver's is using plain (and I mean PLAIN) pizza dough. Jumer's also uses a lot of butter inside and out. I didn't detect any butter at all. Shame, shame, shame. I expected more and I'm sure Oliver's will redeem themselves, but they need to take Jumer's out they mouth.

Local Tap Craft Kitchen and Ale House in El Paso, Illinois, has quickly become a culinary standout…read moresince its 2022 opening, blending community roots with inventive Midwest flavors. Owned and Managed by Aaron Thomas with his really great team. This family-friendly alehouse prioritizes local partnerships and menu creativity, earning its place as a surprise standout in central Illinois' dining scene. Culinary Highlights The menu shines with elevated bar classics, including Ropp Jersey Cheese curds sourced from Normal, Illinois. ~a crispy, creamy nod to regional agriculture.  Wings tossed in bourbon-Sriracha glaze and lemon-pepper buffalo rub draw regulars, while the Italian beef sandwich, paired with sweet potato fries and maple mayo, offers a sweet-savory twist. The showstopper is the custom steak-blend burger: certified Angus beef smashed on a brioche bun, smothered in American cheese, and served with loaded fries-a "step above" typical pub fare. Surprise Standout Culinary Chronicles' sleeper hit is the maple mayo dip, a sweet-smoky companion to crispy sweet potato fries. While rumors swirl about its cult following, the dip exemplifies The Local Tap's knack for balancing familiarity with innovation. Community and Craft True to its name, the restaurant champions local breweries such as White Oak, Riggs Beer Company, and Casper Brewing. Also, fostering a patio-to-indoor vibe that's equally suited for family dinners or friend gatherings. Weekly cocktail features, like the raspberry Long Island iced tea and barrel-aged Old Fashioned, underscore their bar program's versatility. With its commitment to Midwestern flavors, community ties, and dishes that surprise even seasoned foodies, The Local Tap is a destination worth the drive. As Osborn and Thomas expand their culinary playbook-including this week's chicken cordon bleu ciabatta with white wine cream sauce-the restaurant solidifies its role as El Paso's flavorful heartbeat.
