Live, from Peoria, Illinois, it’s Saturday Night Cheeseburger, starring this week’s host, Po-Boys and featuring special guest stars, Amber, Joe and Lottie.
Now please welcome, this week’s host, Po-Boys!
Here we are at Po-Boys on a chilly Saturday evening. Let’s go in and start this week’s Saturday night adventure!
I love this lit-up sign that greets you in the foyer!
There’s the main dining room and I see a couple of familiar faces tucked away in that corner table over there…
It’s my friends and special Saturday night dinner guest stars, Amber and Joe!
They’re looking fabulous as always and it’s always fun to have them join us for a Saturday night dinner post!
Our pretty and friendly waitress for the evening was Lottie and here she is delivering me a beer.
Cheers, everyone!
They have a nice selection of burgers on their New Orleans styled menu. These two cracked me up because the top one claims to be “Peoria’s best burger” and the one below is cited as being, “The absolute best burger in town.” So which is really the best?
I asked Lottie and she chose the Fat Tuesday Burger because it comes with applewood smoked bacon, so I took her advice and that’s what I ordered.
There’s Joe and Amber ordering off of the menu and Lottie is jotting down their choices.
Okay, now it’s photo time while our dinner is being prepared.
There’s the large bar which is located opposite the main dining room.
They have a generous selection of beers on tap, it’s kind of hard to see them with the other beer, seltzer and ciders on display, but that’s okay because…
There’s a list on the wall right over here!
Check out the lit-up New Orleans band on display over here. Nice!
Look at the Amber! sign they put up over here! Joe and I get smaller billing.
Amber gets an exclamation mark after her name, Joe gets a period and I get third billing and a question mark after my name.
Hey Po-Boys, this is my blog, I’m supposed to be the big shot here! Sheesh!
Oh well, let’s just keep moving along!
They have a large gaming room back here and it’s open seven days a week, if you’re feeling lucky!
Meanwhile, back at our table our appetizer order of chicken wings have arrived.
We got a half dozen sweet chili wings and they were juicy and very tasty.
We’re off to a great start!
All three of us ordered cheeseburgers making this a true Saturday Night Cheeseburger evening!
From the top: Joe got the Mushroom and Swiss cheeseburger, Amber chose the Just a Great Burger with cheddar cheese and as I mentioned earlier, I took Lottie’s suggestion and went with the Fat Tuesday Burger.
Joe and Amber got French Fries with their cheeseburgers and I tried the homemade potato chips.
Everything looks fabulous!
There’s a fuzzy-wuzzy action shot of Amber and Joe digging into their cheeseburgers.
They both raved about the quality of the burgers and Joe said the Portabello mushroom slices on his burger were amazing.
Now let’s take a look at my Fat Tuesday Burger.
The bun is a brioche bun and it’s toasted and buttered. The burger is topped with cheddar cheese and applewood smoked bacon along with lettuce and grilled onions.
Okay, let’s take a bite of this fantastic looking cheeseburger.
Wow, this cheeseburger is simply delicious and amazing! Let’s rate it and then I’ll review it further.

CHEESEBURGER RATING
Po-Boys Fat Tuesday Burger gets a well-deserved three and a half Wimpys rating!
The Fat Tuesday Burger is highly recommended.
The burger is savory and tasty and the rich cheddar cheese and thick, smoky applewood bacon compliments the burger perfectly. The icing on the cake is the bakery-fresh, toasted brioche bun!
Thanks to Lottie and everyone at Po-Boys for a fun and delicious Saturday Night Cheeseburger meal!
And thanks to Amber and Joe for being this week’s special guest stars. It’s always great to have dinner with them and share a fun Saturday evening together!
