This week we’re going to one of Peoria’s most popular restaurants on the “Restaurant Row” in Peoria Heights: Jim’s Bistro.

Way back in 2013, I had heard that they served up a killer cheeseburger, so I went to find out if this was true.

You can see the results of my findings below. Oh, Sherman…

Please take us back in time to June 26, 2013 and…

Whoomps-a-doozy, here we are at Jim’s Bistro on a lovely Saturday night.

There’s plenty of seats at the bar, so let’s sit down and get settled in for this Saturday night dinner.

Elyse was the bartender on duty and here she is serving up an ice-cold Budweiser with a pretty smile!

Jeff was seated nearby and he was flashing Benjamins!

It looks like it’s just about time for…

This week’s 2013 Saturday night dinner!

Wow, this is one fabulous looking dinner plate!

I got the cheddar bacon burger and it was such a tasty cheeseburger. The beef is ground fresh right there in the restaurant, so it’s very juicy and tasty.

The cheddar cheese was tangy and the real hit of the burger was the bacon. They cook it in brown sugar, so it’s got a sweet flavor to counteract the bacon’s smokiness.

A lot of times you really can’t taste the bacon on a bacon cheeseburger, but on this it really added another layer of savory taste to the burger.
