My wife and I stopped in for breakfast Friday morning. I had the harissa eggs benedict with salmon. I'm not a breakfast guy, but this was by far the most unique AMAZINGLY flavorful thing I have ever had for breakfast. The chef did an absolute work of art on this creation! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!! The biscuits and gravy along with the bacon was really good as well. As for service, our waiter Andres was spot on, very polite and informative about the background of the restaurant thru small talk. Our bill was very reasonable and well worth every penny of it! Once again I highly recommend stopping by if you have an appetite for for something different with a great staff and atmosphere!

Service was very good. I'm more of a simple type. Of meal person. These meals were not what I'm used to and didn't recognize more than half the items on the menu. I got breakfast skillet and that was really good. Kind of pricey for a skillet but good. More...

Excellent spot for tasty American food. Staff is always super even when they have a full house. Service is typically great. The place has a nice feel to it. Reminds me of a cafe in Chicago I loved to visit. More...

Good food to be certain, but a little on the pricey side.I had an omelette with hasbrowns and bread. It was a make your own omelette that was $6. 99 before even adding anything in terms of toppings. Everything you added cost extra, so when all was said and done it cost about $12.I didn't go crazy on what I chose, so it was a little disheartening considering that's what you usually pay for an omelette meal WITH 5 or 6 ingredients. Overall, I would recommend their food, but I think I'd rather go to One World Cafe or June Bug's Diner. More...

The new menu (changed around March) isn't as good as the old one...lots of less options all around. Still a good restaurant though. They have fresh juice and a few vegetarian options. Make sure you check the hours because they close early. More...

Food was great, very gourmet. I had the began waffle. If you have a picky kid, let the waitress know while ordering. My girl didn't like the chocolate, cherries and whipped cream on her teddy bear pancake, so the waitress game her a plain pancake and didn't charge us for it. She was awesome

Good service. Wait staff needs to know a little about the menu. Some parking in a difficult parking lot. Hard to see from the road. Good hamburgers and fries. The crunch berry oatmeal is good as is the Cobb salad. Prices are a little high but the selection is good with some healthy options. More...

My mom and I decided to try Childers out because we are currently assisting my sister with wedding planning and she had selected Childers to be her caterer. Our first impression was that this place is a little on the small side.  We also ended up waiting quite a bit, first at the door and again after we were seated.  The place was very busy.We were definitely pleased with the menu.  My sister is vegetarian and there were several vegetarian-friendly items.  Even I was interested in trying a few of them.We ended up getting french toast (I think) and a frittata with steak.  Everything we had tasted amazing, but freshly squeezed juice was a little pricey, glad we also got water.Our waitress was very friendly, but obviously had several tables to take care of.  She was constantly rushing from table to table and seemed a little flustered.  We did notice a table or two that had been seated after we got their food and drinks before we did.  Could have been because we'd ordered specialty drinks, but did make us question why our section was so much busier than theirs.

This is a beautiful place with lots of seating. The tables are spread out enough that it doesn't feel like you are on top of other people. There is a good, healthy selection. This is an upper-scale place. Their special iced teas are good. Hamburgers are really good with quality meat. Prices are high though. Service was excellent. Ample parking. More...

The place was full, but we only had to wait for a few minutes.  Their website says "Peoria's Best Breakfast" and I feel that if you order the Shrimp & Grit Benedict, they're not braggin', but offering up FACT.  It was SO delicious!  And one of a kind too, which I always appreciate.  Their coffee was really good.  Hubby had the Greek Mushroom Omelet, and even though he ordered it withOUT the feta cheese, it was still great!  The service was awesome.  Just really, REEEEALLY wish they'd had cocktails too!  Would've made it even more perfect!!!

Very nice appropriately priced breakfast. Our waiter was courteous and professional. The place is very busy on a Saturday so come early. Very nice omelettes with a great variety of ingredients to choose from. Crispy bacon and personal hot coffee. Breakfast enthusiasts will enjoy. I liked that there were a couple vegetable options for sides. Parking a bit cramped up front. The back lot is much more forgiving. More...

Hadn't been to Childers in YEARS.My buddy suggested we have breakfast at Childers last Saturday.The parking lot was packed and the place full. Zero issues getting a table immediately followed by prompt service.  Waitress was awesome, can't ask for better.  Provided a pot of coffee and carafe of water.  PERFECT :) I like the new look of the place.  Also like the touchpad system the servers are using.I got a skillet, it was phenomenal.  Only complaint is the parking lot, no big deal got a spot just fine but it's not easy especially with a truck lol.

Had Peoria’s best breakfast there today. It’s my third time here and the earliest I’ve ever been. I think the early bird gets the worm here. One of, if not, the best biscuits and gravy I’ve ever had. The bacon, hash browns, and eggs were perfectly cooked. I was in and out within 35 minutes. Staff was more than pleasant and attentive. Will be back again to try something different! More...

Delicious and busy.  We drove from Morton because of the reviews on Yelp! The cheddar biscuits were fantastic, moist, and flavorful. The gravy homemade and the peppered bacon, thick. As someone with an egg allergy, this place has a fairly large egg-based menu.  It was a tad upsetting trying to branch out and order the breakfast quesadilla to be told it wouldn't be worth it since most of the filing is egg. Overall, we will definitely come again. More...

What a modern restaurant should be! I can order a plant based entre and you can order your bacon soaked pancakes. Either way we are being served by professionally trained, polite and efficient staff. I just attended father's day lunch with my Dad at peak service time and the wait looked immense but we were seated within 15min, and were serviced and done within the hour. Exemplary teamwork is the only thing that can get a restaurant to this place so my complements to the managers as well as the chefs.

As far as interesting food goes. They are spot on modern trends without thinking it's a premium to serve healthy food. A superfood Benedict is a great example of a dish laced with all the nutritional needs and tastes of a vegetarian, with a familiar nod to the English traditional staple. Sauteed kale isn't a common task for chefs dispute it's health benefits and while I have probably ordered 20 or more of these dishes I have never been served kale that had to be sent back to be cooked properly. When can you say that about your meat? Well trained chefs and great food. More...

My daughter and I only had 45-50 mins to sit down, look over the menu, order, and eat before a softball game. We arrived at 7am on a Saturday morning. We were seated immediately. Our waitress, Amy, was super friendly and helpful. I told her that we were in a little bit of a hurry so she took our order right away. The coffee was great, the food was so good and it came out very quickly and hot. The service was great. THANK YOU AMY! This will be our new favorite place to eat in Peoria. I can't wait to try other dishes and I hope we get the same waitress. More...
