China King - (Near Vandalia, IL)

Jim Brown We shared the best pizza that we have had in years. The reopened restaurant has been refreshed. We were told that the new owners are the folks who run Charlie Parkers. The menu was reasonably priced and had a very nice selection. Open daily at 11, it was well attended by 11:30. A very pleasant lunch with an excellent staff. A real winner.

Whitney McInnis We had the best date night at Black Band Distillery! Their new small plate menu is phenomenal! The dumplings and bone marrow were some of the best dishes you will find in Peoria! My husband and I ordered 4 plates to share and a dessert and I couldn’t finish the desert! We also each had three cocktails and each one tasted just as unique and delicious as the one before! We were very impressed with the quality of the service as well. Our server described every ingredient in each plate and even knew where a lot of them were purchased from locally. This remains the most unique and impressive spot for our date night!

Tina I had a tenderloin and fries and my husband had a cheeseburger and fries. First time eating here and BOY will definitely be going back!

Michael Muncy With some encouragement from our FANTASTIC waitress, Alice, it was the first time ever experiencing a horseshoe plate. Do yourself a favor and check that out! Wow! Great place with great options!

Patrick Nance Go there for karaoke on Tuesdays and some days, Thursdays. Drink specials are pretty decent and the scene is pretty chill overall. The food is really good and the patio is absolutely fantastic for so many reasons. Definitely recommend for a local night out, damn good time 9.5/10 shots

SLP One of my sister’s coworker dropped by and after some time catching up, we decided to go out to grab a bite here. Unfortunately it was too late to order beignets, so we had moved onto the other items on the menu. I opted for the updated version of the tuna melt…. Instead it was chicken salad, which surprisingly was tasty and moist. Of course I was forced to sample everyone else’s food and the chicken pot pie was creamy and savory. It was topped by a flaky buttery pastry that melted in my mouth. I only sampled the sauce for the BBQ burger and it was delicious. Lastly the French toast with cherries was a great surprise. Maria was our server and was prompt and professional. Great food experience!
