Haymaker North Peoria

First visit with some local friends. David, our server (and he bartends) was excellent. Asked for advice on the menu for a lunchtime visit. Really appreciated his candor and recommendations. Did you know the breakfast menu is just not for breakfast time!?! Great for one in our party. My buddy had the French dip sammy with sweet potato fries. And the beer on tap was a perfect match. Not a crumb left on his "tray." His wife devoured the center area of her pancakes. Oh, and David said the pancakes were big....AND, they were huge! She's on a special diet, and the breakfast option was perfect...even at about 2 in the afternoon. No judging! My wife had the Arizona burger & fries. I did the build your own burger option. The burgers were excellent...and big and thick. The regular fries with the

Don’t waste your money here if you’re going for food. I thought this would be a cool spot to have breakfast with a friend, but both of our meals were awful. The waitress wasn’t kind at all and had a rude attitude from the start (mean girl attitude) black hair with I think blue color dye. The potatoes were clearly frozen, just deep-fried, and the first batch we got was cold, like they had been sitting out.

I had a wonderful experience at Haymaker. The food was excellent and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming, but what really made my visit stand out was the service. Charisma, my server, was outstanding — attentive, friendly, and made sure I had everything I needed without ever feeling rushed. She went above and beyond to make my time here enjoyable. A big shout out to Charisma for making my visit such a positive one. I will definitely be back.

This place has always been a family staple for us. The new location is great! Tried their cinnamon roll for the first time and it was seriously the best one I’ve ever had. Their beef brisket skillet is incredible as well for breakfast.

Nice modern dining room. They do need to figure out a way to control the relentless afternoon/evening sun (the management contacted me indicating this issue has been resolved since my visit). The service is pretty decent. We ordered biscuit, gravy and eggs 4/5 and country fried steaks 4.5/5. Good beer, wine, and cocktail options.
