Live, from Peoria, Illinois, it’s Saturday Night Take-Out starring this week’s host, Dac’s Smokehouse and featuring special guests, Matthew White and his Saturday night crew!
Now please welcome this week’s host from Campustown Shopping Center, Dac’s Smokehouse!
Here we are at Campustown across from Bradley University and there’s Dac’s Smokehouse. We had a Saturday night dinner here just a little over a year ago after it had first opened in those wonderful pre-pandemic times.
Let’s go in and take a look around and get this week’s Saturday night take-out order.
There’s the dining area and let’s head up to the ordering window to get tonight’s dinner.
There’s a large menu hovering over the ordering window, but I ordered online, so there’s no need to study it.
As you can see, they have a large selection of beer and there’s tonight’s specials listed on the back wall.
Who is that masked man? Why it’s the owner of this fine establishment, Matthew White!
Matthew told me business has been great and he had a better July than he did last year! Great to hear and he invited me back to he kitchen area to get a photo of himself with the Dac’s Smokehouse crew!
Let’s go!
Here’s Matthew with the Saturday night crew!
Great to see all of them and I love this lively photo!
On my way out I took a photo of the gaming area in here and a parting shot of the dining room.
Here’s tonight’s dinner in the MBIP Mobile…
And through the magic of the interwebs, here it is back at the MBIP Kitchen and Tasting Area.
Check out the receipt, it not only has my name on it, they also included MBIP, very cool!
We’ll start this Saturday night feast with a giganzo can of Bud Light, cheers!
Here’s our Saturday night take-out meal.
We’ll begin from the top, left to right and work our way down to the main course, in true Bee Gees fashion.
For an appetizer I ordered the BBQ Egg Rolls and they look fantastic. There’s three in an order and they’re huge! I think I’ll have some left over for Sunday lunch!
The egg rolls are crispy on the outside and inside they’re stuffed with savory pulled pork, Carolina Cole Slaw and their homemade BBQ sauce!
This is a tasty start to this week’s Saturday night feast!
Next up is one of the side dishes I ordered, the Smoked Chicken Tandoori Mac and Cheese.
This was incredible mac and cheese, it was rich, creamy and the Tandoori chicken added a nice spicy element to the dish!
Now on to the main course! I got the Smoked Meatloaf Plate with Texas Toast and more of the Caroline Cole Slaw.
It looks absolutely fabulous!
The Caroline Cole Slaw was crispy, tart and tasty!
I decided to take the Texas Toast and make an open-faced meat loaf sandwich.
I stacked the meat loaf on the toast and drizzled the homemade Dac’s sauce on top.
This was so delicious and flavorful! You can read more about it in the review below, but if you’ve never been to Dac’s Smokehouse, you need to check it out!
They are now open for dine-in or you can order online and get a take-out dinner like I did.
I started this Saturday night dinner with the unique BBQ Egg Roll for an appetizer. This was such a tasty twist of an egg roll! The outside was crispy and inside was savory pulled pork, Caronline Cole Slaw and BBQ sauce. It was like a savory BBQ dinner wrapped up in an egg roll, delicious!
I ordered the Smoked Meat Loaf Plate for the main course and it comes with two sides. One of the side dishes I chose was the Smoked Chicken Tandoori Mac and Cheese.
This could’ve been a meal unto itself! The macaroni was swimming in rich and creamy melted cheese and the large chunks of spicy Tandoori Chicken complimented the dish so well!
The other side dish I got was the Caroline Cole Slaw and it was crispy, tart and delicious!
I made an open faced meat loaf sandwich utilizing the Texas Toast that came with the meal and I topped it off with the homemade Dac’s Sauce.
The meat loaf is smoked and savory and very tasty. The Dac’s sauce added a level of richness and this was one fabulous and satisfying Saturday night dinner!
