I really don't care about atmosphere. But when you charge 40 bucks per steak and 14 for potato skins and 14ish for carrot cake. I would expect the dollar amount would command high value. It didn't. The steaks were poor/tough and more leaning towards incorrect cuts all together. The cook correctly cooked each of our steaks correctly. Party of 3. But the knives could not cut the steak, to tough. The potato skins where poorly toasted. Cooked to the point suitable, but not crispy. And the carrot cake that I ordered to take home is a sliver. For an out the door price of 200 dollars of my money, I should not say the meal was okay. I should be running to people and telling them that this is the best meal I every had. I will not be saying that. To the point my wife and I looked at each other and said, we will not be coming here again. We were full and not poisoned. But for 200 with tip, not worth it.

The best way to experience Alexander’s in my opinion is to choose a delicious cut of meat from the fridge, cook it yourself on their charcoal grill (with generous butter drippings and seasonings that they provide), and make yourself a few garlic butter pieces of Texas Toast. Pair it with their outstanding salad bar (the best in Peoria), and you’ve got a delicious complete meal! Also love their sweet potato fries, kebab, and teriyaki chicken!

I've been coming to Alexanders for over 20 years now! Tonight as I always do I ordered the 20oz New York Strip and it was literally the best steak I've had at Alexanders to date! Also the Sword Fish was absolutely perfect and packed with flavor! Brandon the grill cook deserves the credit for a perfectly seasoned and cooked medium rare and beautiful Sword Fish! Good work Brandon! Five Stars! Sincerely your friendly neighborhood snakeman

A Peoria stalwart tradition. You will not find a better steak, period, full stop! The facilities are spacious, comfortable and well lit. During the season, outdoor seating is to be enjoyed and the views of the marina and The Illinois River provide a picturesque backdrop. Reservations are always a good plan. The hammered copper-top bar adds a cherry warmth while you imbibe in a very well appointed bar and a deep selection of offerings. The bar staff are one of the best in the region and will take great care of you at the bar seating. The scent of the coal fired grills fills the air, promising a steak prepared perfectly by the grill attendants, or if you choose, you can grill your own. I prefer the professionals take the task on with a perfect Pittsburgh-style sear on a well marbled ribeye. The steaks are all on display in refrigerated cabinets for you to choose the exact steak you want, if you so desire. The cuts offered are generous and properly done. All cuts are usually available, except on extra busy nights which may sell-out on certain cuts. Absolute steal heaven at Alexander's Steakhouse. The wait staff is well trained, attentive, competent and friendly. The menu offers a huge variety of items and will not disappoint those who do not prefer steak. Alexander's salad bar is famous throughout the region and is hard to beat whatever city you are in. Going to dinner at Alexander's Steakhouse is an excursion to look forward to and enjoy great food with great friends and associates! Well done to the ownership and staff at Alexander's Steakhouse for taking the time and displaying the pride to do what you do. KUDOS!!!!!

Start your journey as you walk into an old paper mill factory and immerse yourself into a new experience. We decided to have lunch and made this our destination. The interior is well done yet preserves some of the past. Take a walk around and explore and. Heck out the framed art and articles. We chose a water view table and ordered drinks. Waitress was great, ordered our food and decided to let them cook it so we could just talk while waiting. Food delivered and it looked great. Steaks were cooked as requested. Lunch was delicious, definitely a return trip is in our furture.

The salad bar is the best part! Pretty standard steaks, maybe a little overpriced, with the option to cook them yourself (not for me lol.) I really love the homemade ranch and sweet potato fries!! About $86 for two 5 oz filets, fries, & the salad bar (with water.) Alexander’s is a homey steakhouse. While the seats with a view of the lake are very nice, some spots feel a little more crowded & lackluster in theme. It’s definitely a locals-loved spot & is crowded by 6 even on a Wednesday, so get there early or make reservations!

We really like coming to Alexander’s steakhouse. They have an awesome salad bar. We always order the big fillet and share it and I order a salad bar, which comes out to be a reasonable price.
