Live, from West Peoria, it’s Saturday Night starring this week’s host, Touch Of Grey Cafe with special guest stars, Bailey and Harley.
Now please welcome, all the way from West Peoria, this week’s host: Touch Of Grey Cafe!
Here we are at Touch Of Grey Cafe in West Peoria on Rohmann Avenue.
This is Peoria’s only Grateful Dead-themed cafe and I love the Grateful Dead-inspired sculpture up on the roof!
Let’s go in and start off this week’s Saturday Night adventure!
It’s nice and cozy in here with comfortable booths lining the walls and there’s a dining counter opposite the booths.
I decided to settle in at the dining counter.
I took a seat at the counter, checked out the menu and placed my order with Bailey, who was working the register behind the counter. Great to meet her…
And here’s Harley who’s going to prepare our dinner order in the kitchen area behind the counter.
Great to meet him as well and he, Bailey and I had a nice conversation as they were preparing my Saturday night dinner.
As you can see, they have a nice selection of beer in their refrigerated cooler behind the counter, but I decided on something else to drink…
They have eight varieties of fresh ice cream and you can combine any of these for a fresh and frosty milkshake.
I ordered up a Cookie Dough/Salted Caramel milkshake to drink with my dinner. Suhweet!
I love the Grateful Dead art and photos on the walls in here. There’s also posters from past live shows in Peoria at the Civic Center and Kenny’s Westside Pub.
There’s a quartet of gaming machines located discreetly in the back of the cafe for all of you gamblers out there!
And outside of this back door is…
A nice venue for live music! They feature live music at night and during the day on a lot of weekends here at the Touch Of Grey Cafe.
This coming Saturday you can see Sarah & Brandon from Sarah & The Underground live from noon to 3pm at the Touch Of Grey backyard concert area.
I love that they support live music in Peoria and you should come out and support it if you can!
They have a food truck here at the Touch Of Grey and you can follow along with where the truck will be parked by following their facecrack page right here.
Meanwhile, back at the dining counter, Harley is getting our panini all ready and Bailey is preparing our milkshake.
Nice teamwork and now it’s time for our…
Saturday Night dinner at the Touch Of Grey Cafe and it looks delicious!
I got the Buffalo Chicken Panini and it was so tasty.
The chicken was drenched in a Buffalo Chicken sauce and topped with cheddar cheese. The panini bread was toasted and it was crispy on the outsidde and bakery fresh on the inside.
Quite a spicy and tasty entree on this Saturday night!
The milkshake was out-of-this world good!
It was thick and creamy and the combination of Cookie Dough and Salted Caramel was delicious.
What a sweet treat and a fantastic meal and evening at the Touch Of Grey Cafe.
Thanks to Bailey and Harley for the wonderful service and friendly hospitality on this Saturday night!
