Lately StfRon and I have been into hearing some good live music.Po-Boys, 3207 N. University St. in Peoria, in the bingo building near Wal-Mart, features live music every Friday and Saturday night, no cover charge.
The menu does feature some cajun items, like crawfish tails, gumbo, jambalaya, and, of course, po-boys, accompanied by drinks like hurricanes. They also have a really thin crust pizza and kids' food.
And if you like crab cakes, the crab cakes here are really crabby.
Right now, they have lunch specials for $5. All the food I have tried has been decent. The drinks are decent. The decor is great. And some of the bands we've caught have been excellent. All in all, a good time.

This place is really cool..Bourbon St inside, and no one leaves without beads.
How funny, my husband and I just went there Saturday night. The kids were off seeing "Spiderman 3" so we went grocery shopping and to Po-boys. He had a chicken salad and said it was "Okay." I had the crab cakes and enjoyed them. The decor was nice and our waiter was really friendly, outgoing and helpful. We will go back, especially to see a band play. Any recommendations?
We were there Saturday, too! We didn't particularly like that band, but it was still a good time.
I had the pulled chicken po-boy. The chicken was a little dry, but one it was dipped in BBQ sauce it was better.
We have seen Joe Metzka play there, which was great, and this band Levee Town was great, too. I have seen Dave Chastain perform; at the time he was standing in for Rooster Alley, and they were excellent together.
I see in July, Haley Crouch will play the harmonica with a band at Po-Boys. She is wonderful to hear.
Jeep2000,
thanks for the advice.
I like your site. Local reviews are a great idea.
