Jonah's Seafood House

Jonah's Seafood House & 2601 Oyster Bar, located at 2601 North Main Street in East Peoria, Illinois, welcomes diners with a brick‑faced façade framed by river‑side trees. Open daily from 11 am to 9 pm, the restaurant offers indoor seating, a lively oyster bar, and a Market & Bake Shop that sells fresh seafood, specialty cheeses, and brewed coffee.

Signature dishes such as Jonah’s legendary clam chowder, Pattie’s Sweet Au Gratin, and a lobster tail topped with melted cheese showcase the family’s commitment to flavor. The 2601 Oyster Bar serves shucked oysters—two varieties on the half shell each day—alongside the popular grouper sandwich, flatbreads, and craft beers from local breweries. The Market & Bake Shop provides take‑out options, fresh baked rolls, and imported wines for home cooking. The interior blends casual upscale décor with nautical accents, polished wood tables, and soft lighting that creates a welcoming atmosphere for families, couples, and business lunches. Reservations can be made online, and a carry‑out service is available for those who prefer to enjoy the seafood at home. With a price range of $$, the restaurant balances quality and affordability, earning a 4‑star rating from over 2,000 Google reviews.
