The Fry Spot - Peoria, Illinois

This place is oh so very good! The fries are crispy and hold up well to all the delicious goodness they pile on top. We had the Philly fries and the BBQ bacon ranch chicken fries minus the ranch add cheese sauce! Don't get me started on how ridiculous the cheese sauce is. Wow! Can you say packed with flavor. The portions are humongous well worth the price. The lemonade shake ups are the perfect compliment to a great meal. The customer service was super friendly and helpful with recommendations. The decor was also very comfortable. I highly recommend this place. We will for sure be returning customers! Updated...As we were leaving we were chatting with one of the workers. He was telling us about the dessert they had. He went back into the kitchen and brought us out a platter of their sweet potato waffle fries. So back to our seats we went! They were covered in caramel and marshmallow creme. It kind of tasted almost like a hot smothered funnel cake. All I can say is it was the BEST dessert I have EVER eaten in a restaurant! EVER!I was speechless. I am still a little short on words. Do yourself a favor and run to this den of delights!

4 stars for incredibly satisfying food for a very hungry person. We got the Buffalo Chicken Ranch Fry and we enjoyed it quite a lot.

I also appreciated the service. I had questions about the menu, and the person taking our order was very patient. When our food was brought out, the waiter served our to-go Styrofoam boxes with as much flourish as he could! Plus, he was attentive, and came back with utensils when we asked.

I couldn't give it 5 stars, because of the price. It's a place for French fries, with some stuff thrown on top. An order of fries at most restaurants is about $5. My order was like an order of fries and half an order of chicken nuggets, mixed together with BBQ sauce and ranch. I would think even $10 is too high.

I'm hesitant to come back because if how expensive it is. But, it's delicious and local, so I'd highly recommend!

Just ok, I guess. I had buffalo chicken fries. They were a bit dry and needed more ranch and hot sauce. Don't be fooled by the cheese. I added cheese from home, but still dry as ever. I could have made these myself at home. It was my first and last time going. I wanted to like the fry spot, but it was mediocre at best. I had high hopes after visiting Mr Fries in LA. I knew it wouldn't be the same, but gave it a try. French fries with very little ranch and buffalo sauce with 1 chicken strip cut in small pieces... nothing special to write home about. I am sorry in advance. This is just my opinion.

10/10 recommend! Very delicious fries with a good amount of variety to choose from! They even have pasta’s and a dessert fry! Owner is very friendly, staff is awesome! Boyfriend got the Buffalo chicken ranch fries he enjoyed them. I got the gumbo fries very GOOD. The sauce for the gumbo fries is perfect. The staff asked me if I had any food allergies as this one is cooked with shrimp, he even took out the shrimp for me as I do not like shrimp. So definitely coming back!

The staff was very friendly both times I've come here. So far, I've tried the philly fries, the buffalo chicken fries, and the asada fries which were all delicious. The regular portion size is very generous and I found the snack order to be the perfect size for a not-too-heavy lunch.

Had grilled catfish and shrimp jook box. Owner may balk at grilling the catfish cuz it can fall apart on the grill, but insist on it. It was out of this world. Seasoning was Cajun style but not blackened, just great bit of heat. Shrimp cooked just right, rice excellent too. Really enjoyed it.
Hard to find though, winter entrance is back corner of building facing both Walmart and Landmark, 4 glass doors labelled "Premier Event Center."

I was so excited to hear about them opening back up I went on the Grand opening day. I ordered the usual which is Philly fries. I also got a drink and a side of cheesecake which was good. It came out to be $28 which is a bit much but hey. I’m not sure if they have the same cooks or not but I could definitely taste a difference in the food. The meat was a bit overly greasy & there was no cheese sauce just regular shredded cheese. The main thing I noticed was the portion size was smaller. I even went back on old photos to confirm that lol. But I understand it was opening day and they might need time to perfect some things so I will be going back again to give them a try.

Pictured is the bbq bacon chicken(fried), surf and turf, asada, and buffalo chicken (fried) in 4 box option. Catfish and fried shrimp also shown. Fries were excellent, held toppings and were seasoned well. Catfish and shrimp were fresh and fried nicely. The orange sauce that came with it was very tasty! I ordered in person around 5 pm and it didn't take long at all for everything to be ready. I will return to try more menu items!
