Palanza's Family Dining

"Definitely one of my favorite restaurants. Food is always great. One of the best places for fried chicken and the staff are all fruendly! The smothered chicken is my favorite!"

"The Wednesday special of 20 wings for 13 is amazing. Can get bone in or out.. Will even bread them either way (if wanted). Their house dressing (don't know flavor) is my favorite. Don't normally eat salad but do eat theirs.. Always get served by same person and she is best part of going there. Have had their large ravioli and it is one of the best Italian meals in Peoria area. The lasagna was one of my GF favorites. They also have fountain diet mountain dew. Which is only soda I want.. Price is little more than Avantis but the servings are much bigger (besides the all you can eat). My favorite Italian restaurant in Peoria area. Been there a dozen times and will be back a dozens more!!"

"Love the pasta. Great pizza. Fried chicken is tender and juicy. Wings are the best in the area. One of my favorite restaurants in the Washington and East Peoria area."

"Review Date: December 29th, 2015 Palanza’s was Plainza’s. Palanza’s seems to be well-regarded among people I know from the Washington area. With that in mind, I went with a group of friends to try it out one evening. We came. We ate. We left reeking of grease. That just about sums up my experience there. We showed up for dinner and tried a variety of things. We all ordered something different and shared some appetizers. What we all picked off the menu was lost to time. But I do remember chomping down my food and having to tell my mouth that there was indeed some food being consumed since there wasn’t much flavor in my sandwich. I can’t speak for my friends and I know asking them about their experience today would lead to a lot of “I don’t remember”s. So, I am going to chalk it up to maybe having an off day there, either on my behalf or the chefs behalf. Either way, I won’t forget the stench of my coat after we left. As soon as we got in my car to leave (it was just Tim and I in my car), I could instantly smell the reek of grease on my coat. It was fairly strong and made me gag a bit as I was taking Tim home. Once I got home, I instantly put my coat in the hamper for immediate cleaning. It’s amazing that I don’t remember what sandwich I ordered but the heavy grease smell on my coat is a memory that is clear as day. Second chances are something I believe in. I am willing to give Palanza’s another go should the opportunity arise."

"Great meal, wings and pizza. Wings were Parmesan Garlic and Mild naked on both. Cooked to perfection not overcooked and very juicy. Pizza was Chicken Buffalo which was fantastic and we had the Sausage and Pepperoni which again was fantastic. They have a full menu to choose from also."
