Thanh Linh Vietnamese Restaurant

This week I visited Thanh Linh, located on West Main Street across the street from Bradley’s campus. They are open Monday through Saturday from 11am – 8:30pm and closed on Sunday. This restaurant is a local Vietnamese restaurant that offers a verity of classic Vietnamese meals and buffet.  They offer the lunch buffet from 11am-2pm Monday through Friday and a dinner buffet Friday and Saturday. I went with some friends for dinner this week so I was unable to try the buffet, but they said it is one of their most popular meal options. After going through their menu a few times I chose the Sweet and Sour Chicken and Chicken Fried Rice. For those of you that have not eaten here before the plates of food are enough to feed two people! (I did not know this before ordering.) A plate overflowing with Chicken was placed down in front of me, and another plate with a mountain of Chicken Fried Rice placed next to it. The chicken was fried perfectly to a crisp and when mixed with their sweet and sour sauce offered the perfect amount sweetness to the chicken. The Chicken Fried Rice was just as delicious and had a lot chicken in it making it even better. Thankfully it was so good because I took home the left overs, which was enough for lunch the next day. Overall I would give this 5 Thanh Linh’s out of 5!

    I have only heard good things about this place! I have never been but I want to go during the lunch buffet. I heard it's super cheap too, especially for the amount of food you get! I'll have to try it before I leave.

    I've only been there a few times. I'm originally from Peoria, and I've only ever been there while I've been a student at Bradley. Pretty much outside of the Bradley community, not a lot of people in town have even been to Than Linh, which surprises me because I think it's super good!

    I've never been to Thanh Linh before, but I've always wanted to try it and it's so close to campus! I've always heard really good things about it, plus the picture you posted look awesome. Who doesn't love big portions!? more to take home!

    Thanh Linh's spicy lemongrass chicken is amazing. My RA freshman year used to talk about it all the time. I tried it and I can't agree more. Not to mention, I think their crab rangun is also really spectacular.

    I think their spring rolls are the best in town. The perfect balance of ingredients instead of all cabbage.

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

Image
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

Image
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 ...
