Richard's under Main: Reviews & Ratings
Great food, Great staff, Great Atmosphere! Truly a hidden gem food was amazing. Ate it too fast to take a picture
Oh my God these are the best onion rings I've ever had in my entire life. I would die for these onion rings. I would give up my firstborn son for these onion rings. Never in my life have I had such crispy perfect onion rings. The burger is really good too, but every bite of the onion ring is as if God himself had come down and had delivered unto us onion rings from the heavens.
The restaurant was clean, the staff went above and beyond when I asked for a mocktail even though there are none on the menu. The food was just absolutely amazing.
Richard Under Main is the hidden dining treasure. We went early, in order to take advantage of happy hour. Drinks were severed quickly and our onion rings appetizer came fast. Beer battered rings were hot and used sweet onions. Most excellent! I ordered a steak sandwich. My companions ordered a salad, a Dick's Smash burger, and a Big Jim burger. The food came when we finished our first round. My steak sandwich was juicy and flavorful with mushrooms, onions, and choices of cheese, Swiss tonight! I ordered onion rings, but was served French fries. Before long, our very attentive waitress, Ashlynn, brought me the rings with apologies for the mistake. The burgers were cooked perfectly. Both my companions raved about how juicy and flavorful they were. My friend's dinner salad was crisp and plentiful. We have eaten here several times and have always been pleased with our service and food. Our burger and steak sandwiches plus two drinks were under $70, plus tip. For casual dining before an event downtown, Richard's Under Main is an excellent choice! I'm afraid folks in Peoria will discover how good this place is, and we will find it harder to get in!
Great food and service! The whisky steak pasta is fire! Dig the decor! Much bigger space than I expected!
Stopped here on a whim. Very cool old world atmosphere. Greeted when we entered and was sat down immediately. Service was top notch. Had the Lucky Luciano it was delicious. We also has the chicken tenders they were hand breaded in a nice batter. The Gusenberg was a winner also! So flavorful. Definitely will come back!!
Unique downtown Peoria establishment that has reopened after being closed. Give this place a try if you are in Peoria and looking for something new!
