A friend and I went here on a whim on a Sunday morning around 10:30am. We had planned to go to the nearby Biscuits Café, but it had too long of a wait. Peoria Café was also quite busy, but the hostess told us we could be seated immediately at the counter, so we took her up on it.
We got coffee almost immediately; there was a woman seemingly designated to coffee duty, which I appreciated. We got frequent water and coffee refills. However, it took a long time (maybe 20 minutes?) for our server to take our food order due to the busyness. I didn't mind since my friend and I were sipping coffee and catching up. Once we did order, the food came quickly.
I got a half order of cream chipped beef, which turned out to be one whole biscuit. These were BIG biscuits. I would say each half was bigger than your whole average biscuit. I must have looked surprised because the server laughed and said she gave me the smallest one. But hey, I wasn't complaining! It was not the best creamed beef I've had, but it was good and so was the price ($7.79 for the half order). My friend got French toast with baked apples and enjoyed hers too.
The cafe has a very casual, family-oriented diner vibe. It did feel a bit hectic inside, and I thought it was fairly loud, which was distracting for me while trying to talk with my friend. But overall, Peoria Café had good food, fair prices, and friendly service.
I love this place!!! Been coming here on a regular basis for the last year while I lived locally (temporarily). The staff has always been professional but friendly.
The food is great and they have unusual (yum) options like menudo.
My wife's favorite place for menudo, when we are this far north. Today I had a pastrami omelette that was pretty good, Swiss cheese and pastrami, how can you go wrong. My wife had the chorizo and eggs, it's Friday so no Mendo, but there wasn't much flavor today. Most of the time you can't go wrong eating breakfast here but today was just not their day.
On the good side was our server Liz who has a wonderful personality and attentive.
So, because of her I went from a 3 star to a 4 star rating for today's experience.
Check the pic. Honest mom n pop spot that lets you know they are short staffed. Now mind you were had waited and hour n half at the hipster Hash brunch and no table so I wasn't expecting much.
Friendly staff that sat my brother and I right away. Not 1, not 2 , but 3 staff came and asked for our drink order within 5 minutes. This was already better than standing outside in pouring rain just to get mimosas at Hash.
Menu has all the breakfast favs. French toast, pancakes, bacon, etc for under $10. Food came out piping hot including a big bowl of grits. Food was yummy good. Service was quick and efficient. Recommend if you get tired of the 2 hr waits at the more popular brunch spots
