The BillBoard Bistro — Restaurant in Bartonville

Really, really good food! I HIGHLY recommend the Giant tenderloin. It's comes exactly as advertised. I can eat that meal 3 times with three buns and for me, as a person who likes his tenderloins a bit thinner as opposed to thick this one is made perfect for my tastes. My favorite one in the entire peoria area. Also noticed while we were there that every table that was full, at least one person from each table also ordered the tenderloin. We called ahead as we like to do a family dinner on Wednesdays and she said they were short staffed and we said okay we can come back another time and she assured us it wouldn't be a problem for them. So they were very accommodating. Which is tough in these modern times for us to get a table together for a family dinner but they Did great. Our waitress was amazing, she was pretty much the only one they had or maybe she was the owner but I'll tell ya this, Noone had to wait too long, everything came exactly as ordered and she ran that dining room like a pro. We tipped very well. We are already planning our next trip back, the question will really be how can I not order the tenderloin again, it was just so damn good. Easy 5 out of 5 stars and a wonderful new discovery for us! Every single one of us loved our food, the place, the service, everything! It was perfection, especially since I had been craving a good tenderloin. I was excited all day to go for dinner and it exceeded my expectations in...

Thought I would drop in this afternoon for a bite to eat, since I continue to hear good things about this restaurant under a huge billboard. Outside of the restaurant isn't much to look at, but the inside is warm and inviting. clean, crisp and nicely decorated. There were very few customers inside when I arrived, but by the time I left about 5:30 it was standing room only. They also do one heck of a takeout business. The bar inside is very small. Didn't see anyone sitting there drinking the whole time I was there. The Bistro is known for its humongous tenderloin sandwich and is the special on Tuesday. I chose the Ruben sandwich and homemade fries. My meal came out promptly.Huge stack of fries that failed to eat all of. My sandwich was just so so in my opinion. The corned beef and kraut was chopped so small I couldn't keep it from falling out from between the slices of bread. The meat tasted a little greasy to me. Overall it was ok. I was able to see two tenderloin sandwiches that two ladies ordered. They were indeed monstrous! Can't say what they tasted like though. One could feed four people with one sandwich. I intend on coming back on a Tuesday and order one and have leftovers for a few days. The price would be worth it for that many meals. I also want to try their bread pudding, but not with a meal. I suggest you give them a try and support a local...

So I have heard that this place has a good tenderloin, went for lunch here today to check it out. Usual selections of domestic beers. We started with Loaded French Fries which came out cold. French fries barely warm, cheese on top like they just sprinkled it out of the package, bacon on top was cold also. It was swimming in this white stuff in the bottom of the bowl. Sent it back to get heated up. Came back out but once again just warm and unappealing! Server did take this item off of our bill. Okay husband had the Philly and Fries. Once again fries were almost the right temp but soggy. Don't expect crispy French fries here!!! He said the sandwich was okay but would not order again. Okay now for the tenderloin which was the reason I wanted to come here for lunch. Yes, it is very large and they will charge you $3.50 more to split it with someone. The breading on it is very good. Hand pounded there??? Unless they do it at the beginning of the week for all week or run it through a meat tenderize, you not hear them hand pounding it in the kitchen! Very thin piece of pork, breading barely sticking to it, and once again French Fries almost the right temp and soggy. The tomato, pickles, and lettuce were buried under everything . So warm and wilted lettuce! Come here again? No and don't get...
