Rabers has long been my favorite butcher shop in Peoria. Since they've opened their new location…read morethey've added on additional services like a full lunch counter and an event space. I go there as often as my waistline allows for lunch, and the food is excellent. As you can imagine, the meat is top notch. The prices are also so low you'll think you've gone back in time (I think I paid $4.50 for a big double cheeseburger the last time I was there). Raber's also hosted and catered our rehearsal dinner. They did a wonderful job. The lighting they have in the space is really good for setting a party mood, there is a full bar, and the food was fantastic (we had tenderloin steaks and chicken). We got so many compliments from our guests. One super nice touch was they wrote a nice message/sign for my wife and I on the chalkboard wall, and then a bunch of our guests added to it with more messages wishing us well, making jokes, etc. It was great. I'll be back for lunch as often as possible, and if I ever need to host a big party again, Raber's will definitely be the first place I talk to.

They also have a busy restaurant area with a little seating area. They have a pretty affordable thali special. They have free chai too if you dine in. I came in for the samosas which were delicious, but also left with some sugarcane juice which was a sweet little surprise. A great little spot for your Indian cooking needs in the Peoria area.

Avoid Swagat Foods - Selling Expired and Spoiled Products I…read morerecently had multiple disappointing experiences at Swagat Foods, located at 6926 N University St, Peoria, IL 61614. They have a habit of trying to sell expired items, both frozen and otherwise. When I pointed this out at the cashier, they claimed it was a mistake and assured me they would remove the items, but they seem to put them back on the shelves. In January 2024, I bought a tub of frozen ice cream from them. When we opened it, the ice cream was clearly spoiled and refrozen. It had expired in November 2023. Despite calling the store and asking them to clear out their expired items, they assured me they would, but when I returned a week later, the expired ice cream was still in the freezer. Since then, I have always checked expiration dates carefully. Last month, I purchased another tub of ice cream that wasn't expired, but both my kids threw up within hours of eating it. I tasted it, and it was clearly spoiled. When I called the shop, they reluctantly offered a refund if I brought the receipt. When I did, Ms. Parul at the front informed me they needed to see the tub as well. I explained that I would not keep spoiled food but offered to bring the empty tub when I returned in a few weeks. When I did, she told me that I should not have emptied it and refused me a refund. When I asked to speak to her manager Mrs Dipti she refused to call her and instead asked me to come back the next day. Selling expired goods knowingly and showing no remorse when informed that children have fallen ill due to their actions is unconscionable. Expecting customers to hold onto spoiled frozen food and bring it back is unreasonable. The store also has issues regulating their freezer temperatures. Last year, I bought a frozen meat item that was spoiled, and their meat products often lack proper dates. While I understand that small businesses may operate on thin margins, the lack of honesty and transparency in selling expired or poor-quality food is disgraceful. I have filed a complaint with the IL Dept of Public Health: eh@peoriacounty.org https://idph.illinois.gov/IDPHPrograms/v_LHDDirectory/Show-V-LHDDirectory-Public.aspx. If you have experienced similar issues at this store, I urge you to take action as well, or their business practices will never change, and these serious issues will remain unaddressed.

Best natural foods market in Bloomington. Green Top Grocery might be the only one of course. It has…read morea lot packed into this kind of small market and store. Has a lot of things grown locally. The prices are kind of high, which is the only bad thing. A lot of all natural and organic food and items. It's got some pretty interesting things and you can even order a hot meal. The selection isn't as good as something like Whole Foods, but it's locally owned. Has a lot of the things you can find somewhere else cheaper. That's the bad thing about it, so if you're just looking for good prices they won't have these. Even so, there's a few things that aren't bad. The staff is fairly knowledgeable. Comparing to other stores, it seems best as a complement to other places to get groceries. Its worst thing is the prices. The good things include locally grown products, and plenty of options for vegans and vegetarians.

This is by far one of the best health food stores I've ever been too in the state of Illinois. It's…read moreway better than anything too in Chicago nearly 3 hours away! This place offers so much to guests, it's a newer, very clean and well kept store. The selection of what is offered is comprehensive. Amazing health food that is great for my wife who is on gluten free diet. Their soups are absolutely delicious. Great deals and best of all, there's hard to find products I've never seen before! They have an eatery upstairs, they offer classes too! They're always promoting local happenings in the area on the bulletin board by the restroom. Staff here was a pleasure to be around. They even encourage everyone to become an owner too which really isn't much. They have over 6,000 owners and after my experience here I might consider becoming one too! Free boxes! My wife was really happy about how they sort out their trash here too! This is the standard bearer of what a health store should be. I don't come to Bloomington much but I highly suggest visiting this place! One of the best health food stores I've been too!

The water was from the tap and the tea was made from the tap. Very funny taste with both. They obviously cut as many corners on cost as possible. No plates or glass or plastic cups. No silverware.
