East Peoria / Peoria Illinois and the Central Illinois regions is the largest population outside of Chicago and north of St Louis. We are home to Caterpillar Inc. and OSF HealthCare employing over 500,000 middle class young adults to mid-40s. We just want the cheese cake. There is a lovely waterfront location, once occupied by Granite City, ripe for the taking! Build it and we will come!!
I drive past that empty waterfront spot every afternoon and imagine the line of cars waiting for a table. Your comments keep confirming that I am not the only one in this region craving a better local dining scene.

Seeing this kind of movement confirms I am not the only one in the area dreaming about that specific waterfront location. It feels surreal to watch the momentum grow for something that started as a casual conversation about what our city deserves.

My family drives all the way to Chicago just for this place. It would be so nice to have one right here in town instead!!!

I use to live in Chicago and go to Cheese Cake Factory all of the time. I have only been able to take my kids to one once. I would love the option to take them more often!

Please open a restaurant in Peoria. We are an eating-out / take-out kind of town. And personally, I need more gluten-free options!
