The Blue Duck Barbecue Tavern

Awesome atmosphere. Smoked brisket was top notch!! Staff is super friendly. This is s must stop when coming through the area!!

Within walking distance of the Spirit of Peoria boat. A must see. An old train station converted into a restaurant. Bathrooms convenient and are right inside the entrance way. Nice atmosphere with attentive staff. I had a hamburger with baked beans. The baked beans had pieces of pulled pork which was delicious. Small menu of BBQ pork, chicken and hamburger options. They have a decent selection of different beers to choose from.

Delicious food and drink. We had to wait for a table, but well worth the wait. Walked next door and had a drink - they called to let us know our table was ready. 5 stars for sure!!!!

We have really enjoyed Blue Duck. It has a nice location and pleasant atmosphere. The brisket I had was good. The menu has a nice range of unique dishes.

A great stop for any whiskey fan. Bourbon, rye, scotch. They have them all. Food is good as well. I thought the food was a little pricey for what you got. It wasn't bad, but wasn't something to rave over.

Small place but the atmosphere was fine. Very strong odor from the smoking, so better ventilation is needed, and don't wear your nice dry clean clothes... You'll walk out heavily scented.The food was good, and I would recommend eating here for most people. However, if you have food allergies, I wouldn't recommend. The bartender/server did very kindly check on food for me; however, she placed the bottles of BBQ sauce in front of us when I asked if there was some. I tasted a little bit of each while waiting on our food. She then came back and took them away from in front of me and notified me they both had butter in them. (I'm allergic to milk) I did have a reaction, but fortunately very small since it was so little that I tasted. (And I have never had BBQ with any milk products in it, so I was shocked because I thought it was a safe bet. Yes, partially my fault for not checking on it first, but who'da thunk??) So, overall good, but staff needs stronger knowledge of the ingredients.

Love it

Was fantastic as usual. Great beer selection. Ribs were a bit dry but it was late in the day.

Food was amazing, we has a great waiter and ate what he suggested and he was right on. Wings, ribs and brisket all so yummy. Only issue was the smell of the smokers filled with delicious meat a necessary compromise.

Love going to the Blue Duck, the fries are awesome and the BBQ. This time I got the wings... they aren't you're typical single piece wings, you get the whole freaking wing and they taste delicious. Great smoke flavor then deep fried with your choice of dipping sauces.

Great food , great prices! Nachos were amazing for an appetizer! Small plate served two fine but anymore than two I’d say is too small. We had the brisket plate and pulled pork plate, they were delicious! Tender and flavorful. Came with two sides we got potato salad and Mexican corn which was great. Potato salad was more like roasted potatoes not your typical potato salad. My friend got a side of Mac n cheese she said it was good. Great service and fast to get the food out! Recommend it for sure!

Hands down the best brisket I've ever had!!

If you are in Peoria check them out. You will not leave hungry. If your only seat choice is at the bar, it's still a great place to sit. The bartenders are great and usually up for a challenge if you're not sure what you are in the mood for.

Got the shredded brisket. Was juicy, with a great smoke taste. Would recommend to anyone

We ordered carry out, and we were NOT disappointed!! Everything was fresh and delicious, even after a 20 min travel home. Between us we had the trifecta of BBQ - Pulled pork, Brisket, and Chicken. Our sandwiches were amazing. We also had the house pickles and mac and cheese, and again, we were not disappointed! The carry out service was quick and hassle-free. We will definitely be eating here again, even on lock down! Thank you Blue Duck!!
