Restaurants near Holiday Inn Express Pekin - Peoria Area

We had a wonderful waitress and experience at Jonah’s on Saturday night. My husband order shrimp with his filet and the kitchen plated fried shrimp instead of grilled. My husband didn’t mind, but the waitress noticed and was quick to make it right. The grilled shrimp that he ordered were going to be a 15 minute wait, so she gave us a free dessert instead. The food was amazing, and the service was top notch.

My wife and I celebrated Valentine’s Day on February 14, 2025. We both ordered the surf and turf (steak and lobster) from the special valentine menu which included baked potatoes and asparagus, as well as a salad. Both steak and lobster were a good size and were very succulent. As an appetizer we had baked goat cheese with garlic crostinis. It was also very delicious. The ambience was fitting for the occasion and the service was good. Overall we had a great dining experience.

The food, drinks and service were top notch. The decor seems a little dated but is in very good condition. Restaurant was clean and well kept. Our server was great. She was very friendly but didn’t over do it. This is our favorite place for steaks in all of Central Illinois.

Ambiance was very good! Service a little slow but OK. Food was very good. Had Barrel Burger was fantastic!! Spouse had fish and chips also very good. Wings were fantastic!! Beer was cold and imported from Champaign, IL. WE’ll be back!!
