Bigs Peoria - American Bar and Grill

Husband & I had decided to try for lunch/brunch as a change from the Social & Hash.Place is nicely done( remembering when location was Hooters!)- It's got a good casual vibe, open- not clustered seating- High tops a plus!!Huge servings, great for sharing!- Had burgers , Tater-tots, onion rings few beers and churros w/icecream.Timely service, attentive and freindly.Will stop in again for sure!

Holy SH!T, now I know why the name is BIGS! I have never seen portions this big! I don't know if that's good or bad for biz considering 2 people could be over loaded on just one meal! Everything was absolutely phenomenal. The ONLY reason I must give you a 4 star instead of 5 is- the tots were forgotten in the kitchen & we had to ask for condiments twice. Our server was still incredible- the place was slammed & packed. We had left overs for breakfast & lunch the next day! Wowza- a lot of food!

Stopped by for lunch as spent the day in the area. Located just before the Peoria Sports Complex so keep in mind they have a lot of great deals on drinks & Happy Hour specials around game days too! Just decided on apps. The traditional wings. Did buffalo & garlic butter. Wasn't busy at the lunch hour timeframe and feellike it took a little to long to get our food. Additionally, we added tots which were a ton for $6 bucks! By the time we got our meal the buffalo tossed wings were cold and the garlic butter were still hot so clearly those sat till the others were prepared. That flavor (garlic butter) were far better than the buffalo. Tots again were a hefty helping and they were good, but again temp wise not even close to hot.Our bartender was pleasant and service was fair. The establishment has a lot more to offer on the menu. Prices are on point for the portions. Many beers on tap and have a full bar with tons of TV's which is standard for a sports bar. Looks like they might have a live band at times too. Would considering coming back if in the area again to explore more of their food options . Burgers looked good & they do carry seafood such as calamari, sushi rolls and poke wonton nachos too!

Place was awesome! Waitresses were good and fun to interact with. Had a large group (12) that were well taken care of. Beer was cold and the food was great. The fried zucchini was awesome and the California roll stack (yes sushi) was really really good. I plan on coming back for sure!!

I have found a restaurant that managed to ruin a grilled cheese sandwich. The bread was bread, not toast. The cheese was barely more than cold. Plus side: bacon was tasty and they give a ton of food-service tater tots.

P83 has an eclectic mix of restaurants drawing in tourists and locals with Korean BBQ, Brazilian rodizio, steakhouses, and more than a few rowdy sports bars. Bigs is a lively spot with screens galore and a menu covering bar food standards: burgers, wings, Tex Mex. I dropped in for dinner on a busy Monday night and snagged a seat outdoors. Despite the crowd, service was quick and attentive. There are some quirky options for burgers (The Wildcat: green chili + pepperjack + grilled jalapenos + chipotle mayo, The Bern: bacon + aioli + pepperjack + jalapeno poppers); I did the Leilani: Swiss + grilled onion + grilled jalapenos + grilled pineapple + teriyaki, subbing in grilled chicken for the patty. The chicken was almost falling apart tender, with the smokey roasted jalapenos providing a nice match to the sweet pineapple. The teriyaki was ok, but too salty

Miranda is the best tender of the bar. She is so friendly and never lets your drink go empty. The platter I had was all the best bar food snacks I was craving in one. Potato skins mozzarella sticks onion rings zucchini's. This place is huge and always full and the location is so convenient.

Talk about huge portions and tasty food! We came here after a sporting event across the street. We walked right in and found seating. Our waitress was friendly and got our drink and food order quickly. The salad she recommended was a large portion, the burgers and tots were huge. The burger had a lot of flavor, came out just as I ordered. The salad was great. I will definitely be back again.

The food was amazing, as always. Our waitress, Kellie, was attentive, answering all our questions and requests. She seems like a very talented server, and an overall kind person!

Looking for something new to try with the family this weekend and we came across Bigs. We all love a little of everything and this place seemed to check it all off the list. We frequent this area and somehow missed this spot until our stop Saturday. The parking lot is fairly small, but we picked out and didn't have an issue. We were not only greeted right away we were also sat as well. We ordered some drinks while we looked over the menu to decided on what to get. The menu was great and with so many amazing sounding options it was quite hard to choose. Since there were four of us we decided to start with the Sampler Platter which came with jalepeno poppers, chicken tenders, onion rings, mozzarella sticks, Mac n cheese bites, fried zucchini and potato skins. It sounded like a lot for sure, but we figured it would be like any other restaurant and they'd skimp on portions. Boy were we WRONG. Our server came out a bit later with it and we all about died lol. It was the polar opposite of small and even with all of us trying we didn't make a dent. The table ordered half rack ribs, sausage pasta, wildcat burger and a cheeseburger with bacon. Everything came out looking amazing and again portions were huge. Marge seasoned fries they came with my burger could've fed us all. The fries were seasoned well and crispy. I loved them. The start for me was my burger the Wildcat. I love to try new things and it came with pepper jack cheese, green chili, grilled jalepeno and chipotle mayo. I know what you're thinking. It was not as spicy as it sounds, but did have a great kick to it. I was able to finish a good amount of it, but I took an entire to go container of fried home. Our server was wonderful and not only kind but efficient. We didn't have to ask for anything. All the employees we witnessed seemed to love their job which is awesome. No one was standing around and getting the job done. There is a full bar as well. There are tons of tvs for sports as well. We really loved it here, but if you're looking for small portions this is probably not your spot. If anything I'd order something to share if you're not a big eater. Great family night out. We definitely left full, happy and ready for a nap.
