Friendly employees, friendly patrons. Food is great!! The OG Bacon and OG my daughter and I ordered were great. They come with one side, which we got, but possibly ordered the wrong one because it was more expensive so make sure you get the right one. A little pricey for a bar, but the flavor and bun on the burger ls was amazing!!

I would like to have given 5 stars on all the categories; however, Crusens on War Dr is better and I give Crusens on War 5 stars. Now if I were to compare Crusens on Farmington Rd against other Peoria Bar and Grill spots they get that 5 stars on everything. I think the place has that appeal that is good enough to go Nationwide and make it in the pond with those big fish. The blue print is there. The menu choices, the late night menu extends the hours to get something to eat, they keep great looking girls waiting tables who know how to take care of the customer. I think all of this is important, it is to me anyway.

Decided to attend “Emo Night” on 2/28/2026 with the band Louder Now. Doors were advertised to open at 6 with the band starting at 8PM. Got there a little after 8 and guests were corralled into a small bar area because there was an entirely different event wrapping up. Doors finally open after 8:40PM and previous event is cleaning up while band is starting to set up…clearly frazzled. By 9:45PM the band still hadn’t started and I had lost interest at this point. After a brief back and forth with the bouncers, I was able to get my money back.
Seriously poor planning on event coordinator’s part. Why on earth would you book two large events back to back? Not a great experience and don’t think I will be back even if the Ying Yang Twins are showing up.

We stopped in for our first time to get BBQ and check the place out. Lots of space and a great stage for the bands that come through.
I got the 3 meat platter and the wife had the QueShoe. The meats were all OK. Nothing special but acceptable. The smoked meatloaf was the best of the three.
It took a pretty long time to get food considering the low density when we were there, well over 30 minutes.
The waitress was nice but the bartender seemed to basically ignore her when she asked if they had a certain beer but did go get one from the back.
Nothing to make us not come back, but nothing that made it a place we HAVE to go to again.

I am in town visiting my daughter at college for her concert. The program doesn’t end until late, 830 or so. We were looking for a place to eat after the show. Crusens was open until 2am. I called ahead, around 5 and explained we would be at the restaurant at about 9. I had two questions. 1. Can my daughter eat there under 21 and 2. Would food be available. I was told yes to both. When we got there we were told, no my daughter could NOT eat. After explaining I had called they said fine. We sat down and waited 20 min. No one came. I went up to the bar and asked for a menu. I was handed one. After picking our food I went up to order. They THEN said, oh…no we don’t have dinner. Just aps. So basically we were lied to. I am livid. I called specifically to make sure we would be able to enjoy dinner together and were lied to and treated like garbage. 10 outta 10 do NOT recommend.

Absolutely an awesome place for a concert. They bring in some really good artists. Have been there for many concerts and I’ve never been disappointed. Staff is great and it’s always a good time. Will be back for more keep up the good work Crusens! Also look in to Jay Webb and Austin Snell!

I was there to see Ryan Montgomery who was supposed to be on stage at 8pm, with meet n greet starting at 7:30. After the meet n greet he disappeared and at 9:15 we left. No one kept us up to date on the show, we just assumed it would be close to on time. I understand this isn’t Crusens fault, but it was very frustrating considering i paid for tickets but didn’t see a show.

Was verbally accosted by a really drunk man at the door. The gentleman working didn’t say anything and I had to ask for a manager. I appreciate the manager/other staff listening to me afterwards but please don’t let this happen again to someone. It was very upsetting and I don’t think I will be back. I just wanted to hear a band I liked. 🙁
