From smashburgers and daily specials to martinis and live events—there’s always something happening at Fat Man Bishop’s.

Welcome to one of East Peoria’s favorite local hangouts—proudly owned and built by Central Illinois natives, Mark and Rebecca Bishop.
Located in the former Throttle building, Fat Man Bishop’s has been completely transformed into a fun, high-energy spot known for homemade comfort food, cold drinks, daily specials, live events, and a laid-back atmosphere that keeps people coming back. And we’re not done yet—new menu items, patio upgrades, entertainment, and improvements are always in the works.
Come hungry and dig into smashburgers, wings, chicken tenders, shareable appetizers, and rotating homemade specials that have quickly become local favorites. Whether you’re grabbing lunch, meeting friends for happy hour, catching live entertainment, or just looking for a great place to unwind, Fat Man Bishop’s delivers good food, good people, and a damn good time.
