Alwans has a friendly and knowledgeable staff. If I opt for a cut of meat that I haven't prepared before, I'll often ask their advice on how to go about it and someone behind the meat counter is always willing to give suggestions. Even when they're super busy, they do their best to give prompt service. I love that they often carry local/regional produce, salsas, and spirits.

I absolutely love Alwan's customer service. I bought a meat bundle today and they asked how I wanted it all broke down and packaged. After I checked out they even put it in my car for me. When I come in with my special needs son they are so nice to him and patient with us. Love this store!!! Oh and they also take LINK/SNAP which most small businesses don't and you are helping to support a local family owned store! Also try to get there between 11 and 1 when the grill is open outside...yummy!!

This is the best place to get fresh reasonably priced meat. Pork chops, Italian sausage and hot polish to name a few. Plus the outside grill. This is the spot.

We were staying nearby and I went to Alwan and Sons just because it was close. We were very impressed. We ordered a couple of basic deli sandwiches and were blown away by the noticeably excellent quality. *Everything* in the sandwiches, from the meat to the bread to the pickles, veggies, and sauce was great, all for a very reasonable price. I would go out of my way to eat from here again.

Love this place!! They do a great job with the grill outside, they have so many high quality meat selections inside as well. Also if you like anything fried haha they have tons of options !!

Alwan's is the place to go for all your fresh meats needs. Even if you need to order a side of beef, they will walk you through all the ordering, the pricing was good, and the steak quality and taste was amazing! We had no issue finding our Dearborn Hams there. Also, they always have 10# specials on ground beef that we take home, patty up and freeze in smaller packages.

I want to give a big shout out to Alwans and Sons.. this is the 2nd year that I have taken my deer to be processed and have received top notch service and my smoked product is very delicious. Turn around time to get my deer back is very quick. I highly recommend them and will continue to use them for my deer.

I was hesitant to stop today. As someone who suffers from anxiety, I knew it would be busy and could be a potential danger zone for me but we needed meat. The FANTASTIC workers there made me feel so much better! Every one of them was kind, patient, and helpful. They were working so hard but making sure everyone was taken of and getting what they needed. BRAVO Alwan & Sons - you are angels!

I drive over from Normal, IL, talk over my grilling plan and they help with the perfect cut of meat and the amount. Ive checked off suckling pig, brisket, ribs and wings!

Just wanted to let you know we love the quality of meat we get from you it is excellent last Friday my wife and I ate from your grille which was excellent I had ribeye steak sandwich which we purchased some and was excellent you have a great staff of people Thank you for great food and service

Every single time I have gone in here, I get asked multiple times if someone can help me. Not in an annoying way but truly by people who seem to like their jobs and want to help. We are new to Peoria in the last few years, and I'd say we now buy about 95% of our meat here. It just seems like a higher quality, never going to be a recall for some weird issue when you buy local. A neighborhood place that is always busy but never too busy. People that know their product.

We hired Alwan's to cater our wedding. Every step of the way Pat was helpful and easy to work with. He assured us that there would be plenty of food and he was correct. The food was delivered and set up quickly, stayed warm, and it was delicious. Our guests said that it was some of the best wedding food. We served pulled pork and chicken sandwiches, mac and cheese, green beans, potato salad, and coleslaw.
