Long John Silver’s | A&W

Long John Silver’s in East Peoria sits on the corner of North Main Street, just a block from the Illinois River and the bustling East Peoria Mall. The restaurant blends a nautical‑inspired décor—blue‑white striped awnings, fishing‑net wall art, and a captain’s wheel— with the quick‑service vibe of a classic fast‑food joint. Open daily from 10 a.m. until 9 p.m., the menu highlights the brand’s signature fish‑and‑chips combo, crispy coconut shrimp, and buttery hush‑puppies, all served with a selection of sauces ranging from tangy tartar to creamy ranch. Seasonal promotions such as the Summer Special Platter—two pieces of fried fish, five coconut shrimp, two sides, and two hush‑puppies—provide a hearty family‑style option at a value‑friendly price. Dessert lovers can indulge in the Orangesicle Cheesecake, a citrus‑bright slice created in partnership with The Cheesecake Factory. The location also carries the A&W brand, offering classic root‑beer floats and the famous Papa Burger for those craving a non‑seafood alternative. Prices sit comfortably in the $8‑$15 range, making it a popular stop for lunch breaks, after‑school snacks, and weekend family meals. Free Wi‑Fi, a drive‑through lane, and a mobile app that tracks Seacret Society rewards streamline the dining experience. Whether you’re a local looking for a quick, salty bite or a traveler passing through Peoria, Long John Silver’s delivers a familiar, family‑friendly atmosphere with a taste of the sea right in the heart of Illinois.
