"This is my favorite restaurant in Peoria. We have been there for numerous meals and they have all been wonderful. Their Chipotle Salmon is my favorite and is always cooked and seasoned to perfection. Their steaks have been wonderful and although we lived in both Louisiana and South Carolina, I love the Shrimp & Grits at Magnolia's better than any that I had either in Charleston or New Orleans."

"The food was just exquisite. It had a unique taste, unlike the regular fare at the food chains. The ambience was pretty good. I would certainly recommend it to anyone visiting the Greater Peoria Area to try this restaurant out. Service is outstanding too.

Thank you,

"If you go on a Saturday night, 5:00 or 5:30 is the time to go! We were seated at 5:00 and FINISHED by 5:58! They didn't start to get busy until we left around 6:30 (we finished our drinks and dessert from 6-6:30). The steak (36 oz. ribeye, which we shared for a $7 split plate charge) was excellent! Note: the split charge only gets you an extra plate and steak knife-no sides. Alexander's Steakhouse has an advantage if you want to share a steak-for a $9 split charge, Alexander's offers a potato, bread, and the full salad bar to the extra person. My husband was looking forward to the bourbon bar, but was minimally disappointed. He hoped, since "bourbon bar" is part of the restaurant name, that they'd have more obscure bourbons. Overall, great!"
