Read moreWas in Peoria for an appointment for my son and love trying new spots. We went to Honey Sugar and it was really good. The lady we spoke with was so kind. I called her like 2 times before we even arrived because I was trying to figure out where to go (not from peoria). When we got home and ate the food it was good! I got chicken and yams and my dad got meatloaf. We got a chicken for my mom. We all enjoyed our food and the sides. She even offered a snack for my son but he is gtube feed. I recommend to try her food out for yourself! Also she will be celebrating one year this weekend and has some customer...
