Bullpen Bar and Grill


This week I visited a restaurant I have not been to before, Bullpen Bar and Grill. This past weekend Bradley’s basketball team was playing in the Arch Madness tournament and my friends and I decided to go there to watch the game and get some food. This restaurant is located in the landmark center on North Dries Lane in Peoria. They are open every day at 11:00AM and close at midnight Sunday through Wednesday, and open till 1:00AM Thursday through Saturday. This restaurant is just like Buffalo Wild Wings with a sports bar type of atmosphere. There are big TVs on every wall, all playing a different game or sport. It is a great local place to watch a sporting event and they show the UFC fights there. They offer a verity of bar food link wings, pizza, and different sharable appetizers. One of my friends I was with recommended getting the chicken quesadilla. They are made to order and are a mix of copped chicken and a southwest blend of cheeses. It also comes with a side of lettuce and salsa. The blend of lettuce and salsa with the quesadilla was surprisingly good. The blend of cheese was much better then I thought it would be as well. Overall the food and the sports experience they provide, I would give this 4 bullpens out of 5.

    Hi Justin!

    I have never heard of this place, but I do love wings and I'm pretty open to trying to new places. It's really cool that it's open late because I have a weird work schedule and I work during normal dinner hours so it's nice finding decent places that serve after 8PM! I will for sure check this place out when we get back from Spring Break!

    Yum, Chicken quesadillas are the way to my heart. Hahah But in all seriousness they are actually my favorite thing to eat and make. I have had them with lettuce before and although it is not common it is yummy! My favorite combination is sour cream salsa and a dash of franks red hots on my homemade quesadillas.

    Might have to put this on my list of places to eat before graduation!

Geisert Dining Hall

This week I changed it up and decided to visit Bradley University’s finest, Geisert Dining Hall. This is the largest one of two buffet dining halls here on Bradley’s campus. They are located on North Duryea Place here on Bradley’s Campus. They are open from Monday – Friday from 7:15am – 8:00pm and Saturday – Sunday from 8:30am – 4:00pm. They serve food all day, but offer the most variety during breakfast, lunch and dinner times. The menu features international entrees, grill, deli, salad, and more. I went to dinner here this week and got a mixture of the options for the day at the different stations. This included steamed corn, butter noodles, French fries, bread sticks, honey ham, and chocolate chip cookies. I have been eating here for most of the four years I have been going to Bradley and the food here is eatable but usually not very good. Tonight’s meal was an average night. Most of the food you can tell is premade frozen, and then reheated. Surprisingly the best part...

Obed and Isaac’s Microbrewery and Eatery

This week I visited Obed and Isaac’s Microbrewery and Eatery, located at 321 NE Madison Avenue, Peoria IL. They are located right down the street from OSF hospital. They are open from 11am-11:30pm every day of the week. This microbrewery is very unique in that the building it is in used to be a local church before being sold and transformed into a brewery and restaurant. This is unlike any restaurant I have been to, especially in the Peoria area. The inside of the building has been updated and tables and a bar have been added, but the stain glass windows and artwork are still the same from the church. The stained glass is truly breathtaking on sunny days when it is fully illuminated. Aside from being a very cool building, they have some really good food. I have eaten here a few times and have tried a few different menu items, such as their burgers, flatbread pizzas, and German pretzels. This time I thought I would try something new and ordered their chicken and waffles. This is a fres...

The Blue Duck Barbecue Tavern

This week I decided to try a new place I have not been to before, called The Blue Duck Barbecue Tavern. My family and I are huge barbecue fans, and a few friends have recommended this place to me. My family came down this weekend and I thought this would be a great new place to try some new food. This restaurant is located on Southwest Water Street right on the river. They are open Tuesday – Saturday for lunch and dinner. This location has a very small dinning room and bar along the back wall. Since it is so small the wit time can be very long. Getting there before the rush of lunch and dinner will significantly cut down on the wait time. We started with the Barbecue Nachos appetizer. This blend of home made tortilla chips topped with your smoked pulled pork, cheese sauce, pico de gallo, spiced sour cream and guacamole. The homemade chips where incredible and mixed with the meat and other spices really made this dish special. For the main course I got the half-pound of ...
