As usual, Yelpers know the score. The name suggests something kind of divey, or geared toward the jello shot crowd (no offense), but it's a very comfy, well kept neighborhood bar. We were waited on quickly after sitting down. When we had questions about one of the beers on the menu (about 20 drafts, most of them Michigan crafts), our server brought us a generous sample and, shortly thereafter, two pints of the same. For food, my wife got a hamburger and I ordered the french dip. Her burger was decent, not the best or the worst, but satisfying definitely. My french dip was good as well. The meat was very thinly sliced, a bit lunchmeaty, but had good flavor and was piled high on the bun. The jus for dipping was overly salty, though that's a problem at many places. Elsewhere, I've paid more for this item and gotten less, so I left happy. If it's a bar-and-grill experience you're looking for in Cadillac, this will do ya.

We were celebrating a birthday on our girl's weekend so the bartender got her a free shot, which was nice. Everything was clean and surprised at the amount of natural light.

We helped ourselves to the salad bar. Had to ask for silverware from the salad restock help. We had a couple come in after us and we shared the other end of our table. They ordered drinks and had there 3 fish dinners arrive before they had their salads eaten. In the meantime, still waiting. Asked another waitress if she could check on our food. She said our order went in at 8pm. Sort of strange because the people that came and sat at our table ordered after us and already paid and left. Heard the kitchen announce they were out of fish. Still haven't had our waitress tell us anything. Tables that came in after received their food. Totally disturbed left without dinner at 8:40 pm. Won't be returning any time soon. Doesn't even deserve any Stars. Very poor customer service!

The mac & cheese bites were the size of a large kidney bean and there were 5 of them for $8 dollars!!! The chili was too salty and more like a soup so my husband sent it back.

But The Alley Bar & Grill was Perfect for what we look for in small town places that don't have bells and whistles but everything else that matters. Great staff interacting with the customers, serving great food and drinks with a welcoming atmosphere. Our server, Sondra, and her fellow "chef" were working hard in the kitchen making the tastiest looking pizzas. It was a challenge to choose our food because we were really hungry. The menu is smaller but everything on it is high quality eats. I had cheese curds and tried the Pollock filet, crinkle cut fries and slaw; my friend had wings with buffalo sauce and the French dip, steak fries and slaw. I asked for another option for dipping and their cocktail sauce with the curds was a great combo. Although the ranch dressing tasted homemade. I'd never had Pollock before and I enjoyed it with malt Vinegar, generous portion lightly breaded and I almost finished before finding a few bones in the meatier part. I know it's expected but I have a quirk when I find a fish bone, I'm done. My friend's French Dip had a generous amount of meat, on a soft hoagie type roll and was "so delicious". This place had just about everything fun to do inside: beer pong, pool, darts, fooseball s as nd even a room/ stage in the back for live entertainment! We had the jukebox this evening, playing good classic rock and when it stopped my friend was going to fill it up with coins and keep it going. But we overheard Sondra encouraging a guy to, "Pick as many as you want to because it's free." Prices were $$ for the quality and portions of food, clean inside and atmosphere. We parked in the street and walked about 300 ft to the door, which has 2 steps to enter. I highly recommend that you go find out what's happening in The Alley, I bet you'll have a great time!

Every element from the food to the interior have a wonderful familiarity. I loved it all, the wood paneling, rustic beer mirrors and stained glass signs. At the moment they're operating under COVID restrictions so the tables are without a table cloth but hopefully they will return soon. I dinned on a Saturday night and the room was pretty busy. However there was not a long wait time for food and the server was very attentive. Speaking of food I have some recommendations. The Liver and Cheese basket which comes with pub cheese, chicken liver pate and some pieces of bread was the standout dish of the night. I wish the bread had been more toasted/dry/crunchy because it came out buttered and a bit limp. The next time I come I will request it toasted sans butter and would suggest you do the same. The prime rib was magnificent and I would compare it to those served in a steak house. Medium rare with a choice of potato and a side salad. I should give you a warning ... the portions are rather large so come hungry or plan to take home left overs. My eyes were bigger than my stomach so I walked out with an entire ruben sandwich, which was spectacular the next day. Be sure to stop in, there is ample parking and the location is right on the highway so you can't miss it. See you there!
