Mickies Pizzeria — Restaurant in East Peoria

Okay don't get me mixed up by my review on the Stars about the food food the pizza was really good I want to give it a five-star but they had wings and they had to bring them out twice because the guys in the kitchen couldn't figure out how to deep fry wings and what I mean by deep fry I like wings with batter on them I don't like skinless wings. The service is hit and miss sometimes it's amazing and other times it's a ghost story. The bartender was doing the room that I was in so she didn't notice her sitting there for a while and the waitress didn't tell her she had anybody. So when we got set no one ever came to us so we tell I go wait up the bar for like 6 minutes and she finally comes out after being there for over half hour. The couple next to us just walked in and sat down and they came right up and waited on them and I was like wow okay no big deal I hope we get our food. The wings were okay but they had a mix of like flour and cornmeal and I don't know if they knew what they were doing but they are okay. An atmosphere they need a smoke machine so bad in there they have a smoke room and they need to get exhaust fan on the other side of that room because the whole room that building smells like you're as an old 90s bar where they used to be able to smoke in and it's terrible. Other than that the...

If I could give this a zero, I would. I could bore you with details from our poor experience, but instead I will share my take aways from tonight...

1- The owner is completely unprofessional and rude. She is willing to throw anyone under the bus in defense of “company protocol”. 2- The owner doesn’t value her employees. She blamed one of our usual waitresses (who we loved) for all of the mistakes made. I believe as an owner, you “own up” and take responsibility. 3- Losing customers is okay if it means not losing a couple bucks. We have driven from Bloomington to attend trivia night for 6 months with at least 4-6 people. The owner was willing to throw our business away over $4 and her pride. 4- All business owners should be required to take an etiquette course. The most appalling part of the situation was her walking away from our table in the middle of our conversation....to another customers table to talk about what had just happened. TALK ABOUT COMPLETE TRASH. 5- We LOVE our Mickie’s trivia family (Keith and Stephanie), but no where near enough to patron this...

First 3 times here we were we were not impressed with the food or drinks but the staff was nice and we like to give places multiple chances before we X them forever. Tonight did it. Wing ticket didn’t make it to the printer in the back, I get it, I served for 23 years, it happens. So I ordered a drink while I wait and forgot that you should order the liquor on the side here just so you can taste the alcohol in that $5 drink. (I don’t like my drinks overly strong but would like to know I got something other than a mixer). Said it would be 13 more minutes for my wings. 23 minutes later I get them, (paid full price and only tipped 20%) take them home without checking first because I had groceries in the car and dog at home. Over cooked, chewy disgusting wings with boiling hot ranch that was thrown in the box. This was the 4th and final time that we gave this place a chance. Should have listened to the hubby after...
