The 5th Quarter Sports Bar and Pizzeria — Restaurant in East Peoria

My buddy Darryl loves a good burger as long as he has a Mountain Dew to drink along with his food. It's become somewhat of a tradition that after church services on Sunday I take him out to eat before taking him home. He had never dinned here and it had been a very long time since I had. The establishment is very popular locally and has been for many years. We were both impressed with the service and food. Darryl doesn't get out very often and doesn't comprehend why there aren't enough employees to handle the crowds. In other words he is impatient, but I felt they did a superb job waiting on the customers and the great quality of the food. Darryl was more than impressed with his burger and wants to go back in the near future. I loved my buffalo chicken wrap and fries. The buffalo sauce is tangy, but not over powering. The chicken was crispy fried as I ordered, but maybe too crispy for me. I'll order the grilled chicken next time to compare. Darryl did notice that the straws used are too short for the tall glasses used and I would concur. Also of note is that Darryl never received a refill on his Mountain Dew. Overall we both were...

Had fried ravioli that was super hard, mozzarella sticks were good, had a bacon cheeseburger and fries. The fries looked like the were rolled in dirt. We’re super soft, limp, and feel like the weren’t cooked long enough. Their frier oil definitely needed changed. Burger bun was burnt, burger was dry in the middle but juicy on the edges. My cousin had Italian beef, was SUPER salty and dry. The onions rings he had looked good but we’re literally dripping grease. Wasn’t even offered a discount or for anything taken off the bill. Out first waitress was trying to do her closing procedures to leave so wasn’t checking on us as much as she could. Then the waitress that took over for us brought us the bill without asking if we wanted another drink or not. Then took another 20 minutes for her to come back to get the bill. And spent $63 on 4 drinks and 2 meals. Little much if I have to say. Wasn’t pleased with the experience at all. Plus it...

Went out last night to hear a band I had seen there before. Apparently the manager was too drunk and decided she didn't want to work anymore. She told the band to leave and that she was shutting the place down. I found it completely disrespectful to not only the band, who came from out of town, but to those of us who came to hear the band. We stuck around to let the band know they did a great job and asked when they would be back in the area (May 4th at Crusens-let them have our business). The manager proceeded to tell at the band about how terrible they were for not filling the place with customers and how they would never be back. I was shocked that a member of management would behave so poorly. I've never experienced such u professional behavior from anyone for no reason at all. She clearly was too drunk to realize she was the problem. I will never be back. I'll happily go across town to a different bar. Crusen's never...
