Yesterday’s Bar & Grill: Reviews & Ratings
We have lived in NY, Cali, Chicago and Atlanta and have tasted some of the most amazing food! I have been waiting to find my foodie fix in Pekin and tonight I was so surprised! Our crispy Brussel sprouts, Beet Salad, Pork Chop and beyond were just delicious!! Can't wait to come back!
I went to Yesterday's after seeing recommendations all over my Facebook feed. I started with the French onion soup, which had an interesting flavor but I liked it. Often times, French onion soup tastes too salty and this one was a little more bland, could've used some more onion but I would 100% order again. For my main course, I got the ribeye with a baked potato and asparagus. The ribeye had SOOOO much flavor, I loved it!!!! I actually think it was bigger than what I ordered but I was okay with that, leftovers! Asparagus was perfectly cooked as well, with just the right amount of flavor. Service-wise, our server was brand new so she had to go back to the kitchen several times to ask questions. It was not busy when we got there, so we didn't mind. I wish I still lived near town so I could try their "taste of" nights. I hear they are a big hit!
Great food with great prices. Located downtown, she has the best salmon in town, check it out!
We went to Taste of Spain tonight and I can't wait to go back. Chef JoElle Schramm is amazing! Every dish was delicious and perfectly cooked. The plating was perfect and the wine choices were great. Not what you would expect from Illinois for a dining experience! East coast sure but here in the heartland not a chance. We will be back for more monthly Tase of journeys not to mention lunch and dinner. She has brought a new polish to a downtown classic.
If I could rate this bar and their food it would be 100/10. Excellent. I love the people & the food is chefs kiss!
The best small town pub, great craft beer selection on draft 5. Great daily specials, great small town pub. Just don't judge them on the pizza company leasing part of the kitchen.. there hours are not consistent
Excellent, great little corner bar. Clean, friendly, just a great spot to have a drink or food...
