Thirty years later, the Kouri family took on the mantle of this prestigious restaurant. It was Lou Kouri, in May of 1970, who purchased the Lariat. Six months later, Lou’s brother Ed joined the business, and it’s been a family affair ever since. Four major renovations and two generations of the family later, the Lariat Steakhouse has come to be what you know and love today.
Dan Kouri now manages and operates the Lariat Steakhouse, with the assistance of his brother Kenny and more of his extended family. We are a true, multi-generational family-owned business with deep roots in the Peoria, East Peoria, and Pekin area. Our family is diligent, some might say obsessive, about passing down our steak house heritage to each succeeding generation.
We worked hard to achieve our success, and we want to keep it that way: in the family, in Peoria, and in the best possible style.
You’ll appreciate the exquisite taste and polished perfection of every menu item. You won’t just have a meal. You’ll have a memorable feast. We are one of the top steakhouse restaurants in Peoria, IL.
For example, every steak is hand-cut in-house. Secret recipe soups are home-made on a daily basis.
We’re a Peoria classic with our prime sizzling steaks, including our popular 24-ounce T-bone steak, as well as our salmon salad, ribs, catfish, fried chicken, and our luscious, after-dinner ice cream drinks.
