Megan SheltonApril 27, 2012You can order your sandwiches on garlic bread. Do it and your life will be changed forever.
Food is quick and everything on their menu is pretty inexpensive. A great option for lunch in Peoria.
Kate SnyderNovember 12, 2018So I went to the carry out to order dinner tonight and while standing off to the side looking at the menu, I realized I was being watched and laughed at by the two employees behind the counter- Kate SnyderNovember 12, 2018I normally love Avantis but I realized tonight that this one is being run by a large group of rude teenagers who enjoy targeting their customers
- Kate SnyderNovember 12, 2018I went up the the register to place my order the two once again shared a look at one another and laughed. After I ordered I kept seeing other teenage employees look through the takeout door at me
- Kate SnyderNovember 12, 2018Unfortunately I didn’t check the spaghetti before I left because they gave me about a spoonful of sauce. Be careful about this Avantis! This location is run by petty teens!
Tony EarleyMarch 15, 2011My wife insists we get Gondolas every time we're in town -- a Peoria institution!- Kate SnyderNovember 12, 2018They would laugh and go back into a group and talk, continuously pointing and looking at me. I’m a pretty normal looking person so I was confused what was going on
- Kate SnyderNovember 12, 2018When my food was brought out I noticed the gondola was missing (mistake or purposely?) so the girls brought it out to me. Then when I got to the car I noticed they didn’t give me my salad either.
Mike TamkinMay 28, 2013Holy hell the booths are tight & the hostesses don't pay attention to people.- Richard ThrustboneMay 18, 2014Not sure what all the hype is about. It's not like you get a happy ending with every gondola.
The pepperoni pizza bread has become a bit of a disappointment lately..you may want to go another route
Brad ViernowAugust 1, 2012This place has the worst customer service that I have ever seen from from a eating establishment. If you like quality customer service this place is not for you.
