It’s been a long time since I ate at a diner that just kind of felt like home. As I observed people coming in to have lunch I noticed that a lot of people knew each other, it was nice to see them all talking to each other, and seeing the regulars meet up in the corner booth. We got there around noon and they were quite busy, every table was filled but we didn’t have to wait at all for a seat.
It was really nice to see the workers working together as a team. I watched three separate individuals bust a table. Somebody wiped it off, somebody straightened out the chairs, and somebody brought the menus and silverware for the next people to sit down. The customer service from every employee that I noticed was top-notch, it looked to me like they appreciated seeing the regulars that came in there too.
This is our first time eating here and I decided to try the country fried steak, it was fantastic and definitely a lot of food so worth the money! My son got the cheeseburger and my husband got a breakfast skillet. Everybody seemed to really enjoy their meal and we all agreed that we would come back again!
They have limited parking but it seems like maybe there’s always just that one last parking spot that’s open just for you. Would be really cool to see this restaurant be able to expand to a bigger building and a bigger parking lot in the future! Keep up the great work you guys and God will bless you!

This restaurant always has excellent food and outstanding service! They always have people dining in there, but always room for more. The menu is filled with lots of breakfast and lunch choices. Today I had their amazing chili and a gyro sandwich. My daughter had bacon, eggs, and pancakes. Very close to the Peoria Airport. Great for dining alone, with children, big or small group. Highly recommend this restaurant.

This place is why we live in Central Illinois. Friendly, fast and economical, The food is done the same way you ask for every time. It’s a throwback to years ago when everyone was about a smile, and great service.

A Rueben is an easy sandwich to make bad and a difficult sandwich to make excellent. I asked the waitress for a recommendation and this Rueban was by far the best I’ve had. My son’s French toast was gently crusted to a golden brown perfection on the high ends without being burnt and my wife’s simple biscuits and gravy were spot on homemade. I also had a cup of each soup. I came from NJ, the land of diners. I grew up working in diners, dives and restaurants. Just because a place is inexpensive doesn’t mean it has to taste cheap. This diner’s cook was spot on perfect and the waitress was beyond pleasant. You’d never even know the diner was packed full as attentive and responsive as she remained to each of her guests. One of the greatest dining experiences I’ve had in a long time. I will fly all of my family into Peoria just to have an excuse for a 45 minute trip to go to this wonderful establishment. Thank you to all the staff and owners for creating such a wonderful experience. This is what going out to eat used to be like! I wish I recalled my waitresses name but she knows who she is. After all, how many people order a rueban sandwich.

Diners. The very word is evocative of delicious food, friendly staff and cheap food. Does Bartonville Diner, after trying to come here for the better part of a decade strike those notes?

Yes!

My dad and I wanted to grab food and I was tired of our usual stomping grounds so I suggested we both try something new. We rolled in at 7am on a Sunday to try and beat the church crowds. The first thing we ordered was some coffee and water while we half-looked at the menu while cracking jokes and catching up on recent events.

On my way here, I knew I wanted some french toast. It’s been a long time since I had any and nothing was going to stop me from getting it. My dad perused the menu online and knew what he wanted ahead of time, too. We quickly placed our orders and got back to chatting up a storm.

My dad ordered the Country Fried Steak Skillet and I got the Thick French Toast. The food took a bit longer than expected to come out despite how quiet it was there but that wasn’t a problem as we were busy telling each other terrible jokes and sipping decent coffee.

Once the food came out, we dug in. The french toast was pretty plain, no real sprinkling of powdered sugar or that soft buttery dollop on top. No biggie as it was still good and it had a nice crisp crunch on the edges that I love and can’t replicate at home at all. My dad’s skillet looked good but also kind of goofy with a slice of cheese just slapped on top and only half melted.

The food was really good and the coffee was decent. Not the best diner coffee I’ve had but after two cups, I can say it was serviceable without any sugar or cream added in. My dad said he enjoyed his meal but has a preference for a certain style of country fried steak and this wasn’t quite it. But we both left with empty plates and full bellies with smiles on our faces. Not a bad way to spend a Sunday morning.

When I started my travel list, Bartonville Diner was added around 2014 or 2015. Well, after 8-9 years, I finally got to cross it off my list as many failed attempts to try it out. The time it took to try it out wasn’t due to the lack of trying. Many plans were made to come here but life happens and plans can go sideways. I’m finally happy to have tried it out and hope I can drop in with my friends that live nearby before too long.

Found this place while on a road trip because we wanted breakfast in the PM. Bartonville Diner filled the bill.

We ordered omelettes, but we saw some fantastic Midwestern fare being delivered to nearby tables. If I go there again, I might try the walleye.

The Popeye (spinach, bacon, and cheese) and German (ham, onion, green pepper, potato, and Swiss cheese) omelettes were great. They came with choice of hash browns or fries and a choice of toast or pancake. My hash browns and toast were great adds. I did notice that people who ordered dinner items also received a basket of fresh-baked bread. The service real butter and good coffee.

If I had to change anything, I would use real cheeses rather than the “cheese food” kind of cheese for the omelettes.

A thing to note is that while I could tell the building has once been a fast food place (based on the structure of the building), the inside and outside truly looked like a diner. The dinner has been there at least 20 years.

I would go there again!

Small town family diner with truck stop portions. Incredibly busy place that gets you in, gets you fed and gets you out. Portions are massive, food is hot, fresh, and delicious, staff seems a little hurried and a little hard to pin down but otherwise a great experience.
