Khaki Jack’s

Nice little joint with big juicy burgers. Great service. Fantastic food. Would definitely come back.

Amazing fries and amazing service. Great atmosphere. I will be coming back again and again!

This is one of those outstanding family restaurants that have Great food and awesome service. All the food is made fresh and comes in large portions. My favorite is the sassy Sammy! Nothing beats the fresh-​cut fries and that fun sport of eating peanuts and tossing the shells on the floor. This is by far one of my favorite places in Peoria to grab a sandwich and a beer
Don’t give me wrong, this place is very family friendly and has sandwiches for everyone

What a pleasant surprise. The location, outside décor and even the sign will lead you to believe that this is a dive bar. You will be amazed once you step inside. Very clean, staff is friendly and the menu covers I was with a group of five motorcycle riders. We drove over 140 miles to try this place out. A couple of people in the group are hooked on Bison Burgers so we thought we would take a ride to Peoria and check out Khaki Jack’s. We ordered several Bison and one Outback burger. They were outstanding, and the Fries! There should be a large warning label stating that these fries can be addictive. This is great little gem of a place.

We went to Khaki Jacks on a Friday night with another couple. All the tables were full but they were very friendly so we had a drink at the bar and they got us a table within 10 minutes. The waitress was very friendly and answered questions about the menu. My wife and I both had the salmon salad and it was huge. Our friends enjoyed their meal as well. If you are looking for a place that is not a chain, give Khaki Jacks a try.

This place is great. My favorite entrée are the wings! They are reasonably price, nice size, and if you like spicy food — hot is recommended. Don’t forget the fries! Only downfall, if they are busy, it can take a while — but worth the wait!

Food is consistently delicious and staff is always friendly. Definitely a hidden gem in Peoria!

Great food! If your a cherry coke fan they give you real cherry coke too, its not canned. Very good fries with malt vinegar. Overall a great place to eat.

Jack’s was a complete surprised. It’s a bit difficult to find, tucked inside a strip behind a gas station. The front door is quaintly set to close not by the traditional spring; but rather by a bucket and pulley system rigged as a kludge. Ultimately, it looks like you’re about to walk into a dive bar without redeeming qualities. And then you get hit, like Dr. Banner by gamma beams, and your experience changes.
The staff, and particularly the owner, are incredibly polite and eager to see you (Even as a stranger.). Immediately upon being seated, you’re provided a bucket (I like any meal served in a bucket) of peanuts to shell and enjoy while you wait for food. The menu is typical bar food; but seems to be very well done. I had an ostrich burger, and found it flavorful, well-​prepared, and really above and beyond typical bar fare. I was really pleased with the experience, and am excited to go back. Well-​priced, great food, and a great dive bar/​greasy spoon atmosphere makes this an unexpected treat.

Love this place. Complementary bucket of shelled salted peanuts, good beer, and some of the best burgers in the area. Always seem to be cooked to the perfect temperature. Grilled chicken sandwiches are also pretty good too. Both are pretty big. They also have an option of Jalapeño Bacon, good stuff. Jalapeños awesome, bacon super good, Jalapeño bacon super good awesome. The fries are also pretty good. They cut the potatoes fresh with the skin on. Very tasty
The staff is very nice, especially the owner. He always takes time great people and make you feel at home.
The only negative thing I can say about this place is the location. It’s not a bad neighborhood or anything like that, just hard to find. It’s in a small strip behind a gas station. Don’t remember how I found out about this place, but I wouldn’t have seen it from the road. But once you know where it’s at, it’s easy to get in and out and there is plenty of parking.

Great place for a quick beer or bite! The burgers are yummy and the staff is really friendly.

I just met with the owner, Jack. He’s a nice bloke. The cheese burger was huge. The pizza was vary generous with the toppings. The salmon salad was wonderful. I learned that I love ostrich burgers. Several other reviews said they have sweet potato fries. I was disappointed to find that they do not. I’m from Indy, but if I come to Peoria again, I’ll stop in and have a meal with my new friend, Jack

Went in for the first time and it was average. I would say that it is a bit expensive for what you get. But where else can you get a burger made from ostrich? The potato skins were excellent. The best thing in the place would have been the root beer. While I wouldn’t go out of my way to eat there, I might stop by again if I am in front of it.

We happened upon Khaki Jacks while looking for something we hadnt had before.
I admit I detest the Aussie décor, but that didnt change our opinion of our experience. We were greeted at the door, and waited 15+ minutes because the dining room was packed.
We both ordered burgers, which were cooked to perfection. The fries were also very good, and words alone cannot describe the chocolate cobbler.
We loved the place and will definitely return!
P. S. The only real complaint we had was the noise level. Casual conversation was difficult, but after a group behind us left, the noise level was a little more tolerable.

Decent food. Burgers are overpriced for what You get. Fries are a do again though. Our waitress seemed to want to do anything other than help us. Living so close, I was really hoping to like this place. I give it a good, solid «meh»

I have been coming to this place for years. They know what they are, stay in their lane, and produce consistent results.
The menu is more diverse than your typical neighborhood spot. I am a fan of the bison burger and the ostrich burger. Great french fries.
They have recently started accepting credit cards which is nice. There have been many times over the years where I did not go there because I did not have any cash on me.

Had the ostrich brat. It was a solid «meh.»
It lacked zip, kick, that certain je né sais quoi. I ordered jalepeno bacon and that helped, although I felt a bit unsure about the mixing of the meats. i think a good mustard would have completed the dining experience.
We ordered the vinegar fries for an appetizer. They were also a solid «meh.»
the dessert was pretty good. But again, nothing spectacular. Again, solid «meh.»
I’ve been so curious about this place since it’s been open for so long, but it wasn’t all that exciting. However, if you want to cross ostrich or bison off your bucket list of foods to try, this place ain’t too shabby.

Very small place, so don’t bring a ton of people unless you’re ok with waiting. Fresh french fries are great, and I haven’t had a bad burger there ever. Peanuts on every table, so if you’re allergic this is not a place for you.

Great locally owned bar with not your average menu.
They have beef burgers but also an ostrich burger, tuna steak sandwiches and juicy GRILLED (not fried) naked chicken strips. I think they also have a portobello sandwich for the veggie lovers. There are buckets of peanut shells on the tables and yes, peanut shells on the floor, so if you have allergies, beware.
Their fries are skin on, and an order is big enough to share.
It can get a bit noisy when busy, but the food and service are good.
Keep in mind they do not accept credit cards.

Sully (RIP) Opened this place years ago– His food quality is still found here after all these years. The burgers are great, the fries are hand cut, and the beer is cold– what more do you want? Kitsch-​? OK, how about all the trinkets on the ceiling, and the leg lamp in the window? Check–
Cans of peanuts are everywhere.
Cash is KING here– no Credit, but there is an ATM on sight (3.00 fee)
