Alwan and Sons Meat Company

Alwan and Sons Meat Company is a family-owned butcher shop and grocery in Peoria Heights that has served the area for more than 60 years. The meat counter carries fresh beef, pork, chicken and lamb, with custom trimming and presentation, and holiday favorites like the signature boneless prime rib are popular. The deli is known for its Ruben sandwiches and homemade soups, and the family also supplies meat to area restaurants.

The deli slices everything to order and sells by the pound, with Midwestern and specialty cheeses on hand. A lunch grill serves sandwiches such as a ribeye steak and pulled pork, and the store stocks produce, seasonings, wine and frozen foods. Deer processing is offered during hunting season, and catering and party trays are available for gatherings. Shopping is open Monday through Saturday, and the shop is closed on Sundays.
