About Us
Serving dine-in and carryout Monday-Saturday 10-3! John's Place, in Peru, IL, is the leading restaurant serving LaSalle, Oglesby, Ottawa, Spring Valley, and surrounding areas. We are the best lunch spot in Peru, open daily for grilled lunch options from 10AM-3PM. Our burgers are hand pressed daily...always fresh! Soups and chili are always homemade. Raviolas are locally made by Maretta Raviola and served with our chicken broth.
We are still answering the phone with "506" which was the original number from the switchboard days!!! Much history and many friends have been made over the years at John's Place. If you're looking for a fun hangout place to grab a sandwich or a cup of coffee and talk with friends this is the place for you! If your feeling lucky try the private gaming area!!
