Maquet's Rail House - Pekin, Illinois

ᗰคгรєlค ?.

We are new to the Rail house, having been here two times now. The first time we went we sat at the bar and the bar manager, Debbie, was our waitress. She talked about how the Rail house started up and that she's been there from the beginning! She was really nice and I thoroughly enjoyed speaking with her. It's amazing to see how much the bar has grown and how much they've been able to expand! She talked about how they were going to be having a celebration this summer now that they have the new parking lot, that's exciting! The second time we went, we took our boys so that they could enjoy the food as well. We love the atmosphere of this place! The decorations, exposed ceiling, seating, the brick oven, signs, and wood floors are just all great! Both times I've been here, the food has been made hot and fresh, the first time I had the chicken bacon ranch sandwich and the second time, I had the barbecue bacon cheeseburger (my favorite). I enjoyed the fried pickles as an appetizer and we also have tried the mozzarella cheese sticks, curds, and the nachos. The curds were my favorite!
If I could have one suggestion, I think that the potatoes need some spices and seasonings. We've had the tots, fries, and curly fries and noticed that they all lack some sort of flavor, they're just a bit Bland. Other than that we have always enjoyed our meals here and definitely enjoy the atmosphere! The service is also tip top, the two waitresses that we have had for each visit were extremely polite and helpful and seemed to really enjoy their jobs. We will definitely be back, so you guys should stop and here one day for lunch or dinner also!

Awesome place for a good meal! We went around 2pm and had great service! I had the Honey Garlic Tenderloin with tater tots and my wife had the Rail House Burger with sweet potato fries; both were exceptional! Definitely recommend!!

Had dinner here last night. It was quite crowded and had to wait about 20 to 25 minutes for a table. But, it was worth the wait.

The food was very good and the portions were quite large. The service was fine. The atmosphere was cool and there were plenty of televisions to watch sports.

It was our first time trying Maquet’s Rail House and it was DELICIOUS! We cannot wait to come back and try different things. The tenderloin was perfectly crispy and well seasoned but my favorite thing was the quesadilla with fresh chicken and a bunch of tomatoes. Another person in our party tried the pizza and had a lot to take left over. The pizza was $16 for that whole thing pictured which is a steal! You pay more at other places nowadays! we will definitely be back again! Can’t wait to try something new and service was great.

A great place for good food and a drink of that is what you want. Love their tenderloin and their onion straws are always a hit. My wife had a burger that made two meals. My guests had a chicken wrap that was fixed with different options as she requested. Not fancy just good food.

I had lunch here today and had an absolute perfect experience. The staff was so friendly and attentive, the food was phenomenal, and we left full with food left over for a very decent price. We 100% got our money's worth and cannot wait to go back. I had the 420 wrap and it was amazing! I don't usually step out of my comfort zone of a good 'ol tenderloin at places known for their tenderloins (I have heard wonderful things about theirs so it was hard to say no 😁) but that wrap was something I had never seen before and everything in it was amazing alone and putting it all together in one wrap with the wonderful sauce they use was just perfection. Our waitress, whose name I cannot remember and feel terrinle about, was amazing. She handled my kids learning to order for themselves, perfectly, and she was kind and just plain great at her job. Everyone left making plans to come back again and appreciate the amazing lunch! 👏 🙌

The food is absolutely amazing! I had the 420 wrap. The staff was friendly. I'm not sure If the waitress we had was new, or not used to big parties, but she was definitely trying! All in all it was awesome! We had our wedding dinner there. We're going to definitely be back!

Perhaps the best place in the area to get a burger but they have soooo much more than burgers. Pizza, salads, wraps, Giant baked potatoes, great sides and tons of Beers, whiskies, ciders and cocktails. Great staff, friendly atmosphere, good prices, all around fantastic. Definitely recommend.
