Chili Mac's 5-Way Chili Chicago, IL
This was probably the best chili I've ever had. Before I ate at Chili Mac's, I never knew chili would taste good with spaghetti. It's really worth it, especially if you're a chili fan.
Avanti's Italian Restaurant Peoria, IL
I've only had the chance to eat at this Avanti's a handful of times, but I think they have even better bread (if that's possible) than the one in Normal, IL. The prices are great and it's really convenient since there's three of them in Peoria and this one is especially close to the Bradley University.
Diamond Dave's Taco Company Normal, IL
Very good service. I really like the chips and salsa that they have. I also enjoyed the chicken fingers. The prices are great too.
Long John Silver's Seafood Bloomington, IL
There's almost always a good deal going on at Long John Silver's. You can feed the entire family for cheap. And there's always other foods if someone doesn't like seafood. I would recommend the chicken, onion rings, or fries.
One World Coffee & Cargo Peoria, IL
I really liked the atmostphere at One World. The murals on the wall were intersting to look at and the waitstaff was friendly. The food was unique and tasty. But the only bad part about my visits were the long waits I had to go through. It took over an hour after ordering to be served sometimes, and that wasn't even during the busy hours. The wait was so long once that I had to run to an event on the Bradley campus and arrived late. So I suggest that you clear your schedule before eating here.
Old Country Buffet Normal, IL
Very good service and selection. The prices are great too. One downside is that sometimes you might come at a time where some of the food has been out for awhile and isn't as good as when they first put it out. Other than that, it's a good deal.
Hooters Restaurant Bloomington, IL
I really enjoyed my experience eating at Hooters (and I am a female). It was very clean and had a nice, casual atmosphere. The girls were friendly and helpful. The 911 hot wings were really hot, a must for the adventurous eaters. I had the grilled cheese with fries and those were also enjoyable. Don't be scared and give it a try.
California Pizza Kitchen Chicago, IL
Who knew bbq chicken would taste good on a pizza? There were a lot of different pizzas and it was fun to try new foods. I enjoyed the atmosphere and the fast service. Be adventurous and try something unique and tasty!
Three Happiness Chinese Restaurant Chicago, IL
I've been going to Three Happiness for years with my family. Good, genuine chinese food. It's located right inside Chinatown, which is not exactly the cleanest environment, but it's probably one of the cleaner restaurants there. I hardly see anybody not oriental there, but it's probably because not a lot of Americans really go into Chinatown.
Kentucky Fried Chicken Bloomington, IL
The prices were good and the food was okay. The buffet looked kind of uninviting. Some of the food was mixed in with the other foods and some just looked like it was sitting out too long. It wasn't exactly sparkling clean in there either, but there's always carry out. For the most part, the service was good, but there was a cashier who asked personal questions, which I thought was a bit rude and annoying. Not saying that this person could represent the rest of the staff, but sometimes there can be a few bad ones.
The Great Steak & Potato Company Bloomington, IL
Fast, friendly service. You can even watch them cook your sandwich. Very filling, sometimes a bit messy, but definitely worth it.
Bakers Square Restaurant & Pies Normal, IL
I love getting dessert from here. It's the best. If you want to try something rich and decadent, I suggest you indulge in some french silk pie. And you can never go wrong with the good old apple pie.
Pizza Hut Normal, IL
Good prices and tasty pizza. The service is really friendly, but sometimes the wait can be a bit longer if they're really busy. (It's worth the wait though.)
Sirloin Stockade Normal, IL
This is a fun place to take the family and pretty good deal since it's a buffet. There are a lot of choices and my personal favorite is making your own ice cream sundae.
Diving Ristorante Italiano Bloomington, IL
I had a more pleasant visit than the previous reviewer. I've only dined at Divino Ristorante Italiano twice. The atmosphere was comfortable and beautiful. I agree with the previous reviewer that the food was a bit on the bland side. I especially thought the dinner salad was bland and the dressing was too sour. I might return, but I think it's a bit pricy for okay food.
Avanti's Italian Restaurant Normal, IL
I'm not sure if I put the average entree price down very accurately, but everything on Avanti's menu is pretty cheap and very tasty. Great, fast, friendly service, very affordable, and convenient location (near ISU campus). There's also a carry out area for even faster service and the dine in area is open until 11 most of the time.
Carlos O'Kelly's Mexican Cafe Bloomington, IL
The service was friendly and timely. The food was very good and not expensive. The only drawback was that we found a hair in the salsa.
Jake's Pizza Normal, IL
Jake's is a great place. They have friendly service and delicious pizzas. It's also great for late night eating since they have delivery until 3:00 AM. Definitely worth it.
Grog's Pizza Normal, IL
I really enjoyed the pizza from Grog's. It was fairly quick and cheap. The service was good and I would recommend to friends.
Ned Kelly's Steakhouse Bloomington, IL
I've only been to Ned Kelly's twice now, but I'm planning to return. It was friendly service and fairly quick even though I was there at extremely busy nights. The portions are huge and definitely worth your money.
