Childers Eatery - War Memorial (Grand Prairie) - Peoria, Illinois

Idk how anyone could be unhappy here. The best food we've had in a long time. The drinks were also great! We came two days in a row.

Day 1 we sat at the bar for morning bloody Marys and a cocktail coffee before we had a wedding to attend. Our bartender said as great. Id say the only disappointing thing that day was another waitress had taken our order and after only one drink, that wasn't finished brought us out check. We had to specify we were there to relax and drink (we were at the bar) and that we weren't yet finished, she seemed a little less than thrilled. But otherwise really great.

Day 2 came for breakfast and sat at a booth. Had some great hot tea and another bloody Mary. The shrimp and grits were absolutely amazing! I'm so sad we live over 2 hours away, otherwise this would be our favorite place every weekend.

To the staff. U are each so kind and seem to really love your jobs and that refreshing so keep up the great work.

Absolutely ideal breakfast spot! Nicely decorated, spacious outdoor dining in season, great service, delicious food and amazing cocktails and craft beers.

My son and I came in while shopping. It was busy but not full. We both ordered the Smoked Gouda Shoe. While we ordered, we mentioned our desire for an appetizer. Our server so wonderfully suggested the Bacon Wrapped Gouda. It was piping hot when we got it, and came with 2 dipping sauces. Tip: use both. The plates came and they were so so good!!! I’m always pleased when I come in here! Tip plenty and tip in cash!!!

Over the past years I have frequented different Childers locations and menu items. This morning we came to the grand prairie location. The quality of the food is amazing. The kitchen staff is on point! I’ve had my dish at other locations and it is still good but the quality of the dish wasn’t as good as what the kitchen produced this morning. Thank you.

There are 4 locations in my area, I have eaten at each one of them over time. I usually get the Bike Rider( eggs, sausage or patties or bacon, hash browns, Belgian waffle or French toast or pancake pancakes).The food is always fast and hot. On Sundays there is usually a wait at any of the locations because the food and service is so good. I highly recommend eating at either of the Childers Eatery.

Love this place. Food is great. Reasonably priced. Atmosphere is nice as well. They were a bit short handed this time and I still didn’t feel neglected in any way. Servers were doing a great job. The salmon, bacon, and Avocado over toast is a favorite of mine.

It was my first time eating at Childers Eatery, I had heard about them on the radio so I wanted to go and check it out. My son and I went on a lunch date on Friday afternoon, when we walked in it was a little quiet we were actually wondering if they were open. Someone approached us ask us if we would like a booth or a table and we chose a booth. There were two other families in the restaurant. I do like how the area was nice and open and the waitress was very friendly! The menu seemed a little bit small but my son and I both decided to get the chicken and waffles, I was impressed that it came with bacon usually you don't see that in other restaurants. We both decided to add a side of eggs to our meals. Of course it was more food than we could eat but it tasted fantastic especially the chicken! We will be returning!

French toast burnt … served with that side down. One bite after difficulty cutting it… burnt taste. Checked underside. Asked to be redone… again served burnt side down turned over and showed waiter… switched to waffle. Took forever to get replacement food. Took an hour and a half for breakfast. Replacements cheerfully done but poor F/up
