The ambiance is of a typical bar scene. Large outdoor dining space. We ate inside. The staff were attentive but not overly friendly. I'd say they were indifferent. The menu was interesting with clever names such as "Cluck around and find out". The wait time wasn't very long on food. Refills timely. The food was decent. I had the Queso Burger which did lack seasoning despite being submerged in a pool of cheese. I love the idea. The burgers were cooked well done which is totally fine since I wasn't given the option for temp request. They were just dry patties. O rings were hitting. I'll probably be back. Check them out. read more

There's was a long wait when we arrive and definitely understand why, food and drink were good. They do offer out door seating, would be great especially when the weather gets better. We received good service the whole time. Inside seating definitely got to listen to great music from the cooks, their playlist was on point. Inside is a bit small but cozy. The strawberry lemonade mimosa didn't taste like strawberry at all, looks and taste like lemonade. Food was really good tho. The cinnamon french toast shooter was delicious as well. read more

$15 for a flight of mimosas that are full size? Yes please! The pineapple mimosa? Yes please! Loved my french toast with whipped cream and cinnamon toast crunch cereal on top. Simple....but hit the spot! The eggs were tasty too. Our server was a doll. She never missed a beat. Really, we could not have asked for more in a boozy brunch Saturday. Nothing fancy, just cozy, chill, good food, great service. read more

Random backpack under our table. Been there for weeks according to staff. Hey college kids how about getting rid of it so customers don't have to. Service is slow, food is meh at best. Everything tastes boxed, canned or from a bag. Nothing fresh. read more

Great place to eat. Great service. Brunch is reality good. Lots of choices. Specialty drinks for breakfast. Love the brick wall for a warm atmosphere. read more

My group from work decided to celebrate a warm Friday November first evening at the Old Town Alibi outdoor dining area. It is great to see all of the evening activity in old town, mainly because of creative owner-entrepreneurs like Kat. Our fun & friendly server, Amanda, took great care of us. She kept us supplied with water, appetizers and drinks. Our dinners were served all at the same time. Even on a busy night we were never rushed. Old Town Alibi has their standard menu items and offers unique weekly special drinks, apps and entrees. Not only mention a full bar plus a great selection of draft and bottled beer. The ladies loved the fall themed drink specials. Keep up the great work Team Alibi! We will see you again soon! read more

I got the Big Quesadilla ($14)and Fried Pickles($10). The big quesadillas stuffed with thinly sliced cheese steak, swiss cheese, and Mac N Cheese. It was a pretty average quesadilla, the idea was there but the quality didn't stand out. The pickles were a bit of a letdown, a ton of batter that I could barely taste any pickle flavor. Overall staff and service was average. Food(50%): 6.1 Staff/service(25%): 6.0 Value(25%): 6.0 Overall: 6.1/10 read more

Such a fun spot! The vibes are great and the staff are some of the coolest people you'll meet. The pickle flight is a must-try and the pickles taste so fresh and flavorful, perfect for any pickle lover. The chicken salad was delicious and light, just right for brunch. It was a little busy when we went, but totally worth it. Can't wait to go back! read more

Me and my family wanted a nice lunch outside so we came to Alibi's. We sat on the patio and it was lovely. A great place to go in the warm months! I got the breakfast club and my husband got the Southern Charm. We also got fried pickles (not pictured) and they were so hot and crispy and DELICIOUS that I forgot to take a picture lol. The breakfast club was delicious and super fresh and crunchy! My husband said his was also amazing! Our waitress was super nice and attentive. This is one of our favorite quick lunch spots. Definitely recommend! read more

This place is fantastic! It's got an old timey feel to the environment. Now i haven't tried the food because we ate before hand. But they are very cooperative when handling drinks. The service is also amazing! Our server was very kind, very understanding. She served my friend the wrong drink bc he has misspoken and she was very polite and apologetic about it. I recommend 10/10. read more

We ordered a burger, chicken wrap, and French toast along with strawberry lemonade mimosa. It was all fantastic! Our server was great, the music and music volume was great, everything was clean. I can't complain. The only bummer about our visit was that we couldn't try the chicken and waffles or the peppermint holiday cocktail because they were out of some of the ingredients. Things happen; it was fine. We will definitely be back!!! read more

Great atmosphere and excellent service. However, the restaurant is completely unfriendly towards vegetarians. Not a single thing on the menu is for vegetarian customers except maybe a dessert. So many people are eating vegetarian now, there's really no good excuse for not having something available. read more

Service is great and food is always delicious! Their new extended outdoor patio is nice as well!

The service was really nice and welcoming! The drinks were tasty and original! We all enjoyed different brunch items and vowed to return to this lovely local restaurant!! read more

My son is a junior at VSU and I have been coming to Petersburg for quite sometime and definitely more than a 5-6 trips a year. I'm so sad that I have just discovered this place. It's under new ownership as is referred as #katsalibi. New menu, great food. I got the Little Clucker, a nice spin on chicken and waffles only with French toast. So good. I ate it too fast to take a picture. My husband got the Breakfast Club.. impeccable! We will be back at the end and of the semester and will definitely make this a "must stop". Staff is friendly and attentive but not overly so. A flawless experience. Great job, everyone! Next stop... Loco Kitty. read more

Went for brunch on a Saturday A pretty decent spot in old town Petersburg. Brunch menu a little shabby, imo, because I'm a classic breakfast kind of girl. One or two of the few few savory breakfast items contained eggs and most of it was slathered in gravy. We sat by the door which was a little chilly on a cold day but a nice window view. Food came out hot and our waitress was kind attentive and upbeat. read more

Amazing atmosphere and customer service ! I believe Mandy was tending to me total mother attitude needs to keep moving can't stay still, I love her !! To add to it she helped a little cute old lady to her car waiting till her daughter pulled the car up then assisted her out the restaurant into the car ! You won't see this service anywhere else !! read more

The mixed cocktails and crushes were better than the food. Great service from our waitress. My friend was not a fan of the batter on the fried green tomatoes. Portions were huge for the salad and steak hibachi fries. Interesting Asian fusion dish. Flavor was a little underwhelming and had a sweetness to it. Laid back casual atmosphere. Great place to gather for drinks and bar type food. Would come back to try different drinks and entrees on the menu. read more

Excellent food and libations. We had such a wonderful brunch. The staff were incredibly nice. Great for a chill brunch with the ladies.

We arrived as they opened the doors at 11am on a Friday. Several people sat at the bar; we grabbed seats at the nearby high table. The server was waiting on everyone and making bar drinks. She kept up the pace very well! Out comes the mozzarella sticks; nothing fancy but they were hot and served with marinara. Shrimp & grits looked pretty in the bowl and the flavor was spot on. Fried fish & chips were both great. The Whiting was fried golden and flaky. Looking forward to trying their brunch. read more

Generally we go to Longstreet's across the street and stare over here but we decided to change it up recently and go here while staring across the street at Longstreet's. It was a terrible decision on our part because now we are going to have to make a decision every time we come down for lunch and it is going to feel like having to pick a favorite child. Our server was so welcoming and friendly, was also very attentive and our glasses were never empty. The specials menu will get me in a lot of trouble because I want to try every single thing before it vanishes forever, but I know that my wallet and my waistline would not particularly care for that. I ended up getting the Mexican Fiesta Nachos "Appetizer" because I am a huge fan of nachos for the meal and I am convinced that I need to bring more friends next time. It was MONSTROUS. I singlehandedly made my way through about a third of it, with help from hubs before throwing in the towel. He had the classic club because he is a creature of habit and it was very good he said. I will be back soon. read more

Unfortunately a lady named Kat purchased the business a while back. I like her fine and still go to Alibi but the food isn't nearly as creative or good as it used to be. read more

So stopped here on my way to a KEM & Babyface concert. Literally found the venue for concert and then went on a Google map and googled "bar near me" this place popped up and looked cool. Tucked away in olde Towne Historic Petersburg, this spot had all the hipster vibes I was looking for. As I was in a rush I ordered a orange crush and some fried pickles which I figured would hit the spot before the concert. Cause fried food am I right? read more

We love the food, drinks and atmosphere. Kat has a great staff especially with JESS!

It's a small comfortable place with excellent food and a friendly staff. The owner was a waitress for years and bought this place. She is doing an amazing job!! Best fried green 'maters you'll ever slide between your gums! read more

Came here for some mimosas with friends and had a fantastic time! We ordered the mimosa flight which has an original mimosa, mixed berry mimosa and the mango mimosa. I personally enjoyed the original the most; however, all were great. Our server, Caleb, took great care of us. Once we were hungry, we asked for recommendations and he gave us some good options. One friend ordered the Cinnamon Toast Crunch French Toast and another ordered the Cheese Steak Smash and both said their food was fantastic. I ordered the Fried Green Tomato BLT and it was great as well! It's a very fun environment, everyone was having a great time, laughing and drinking their mimosas. We will definitely be coming back! read more

Great food, great service and awesome atmosphere!! Definitely a fun place. Always have many different specials!

Excellent as always ... Third time here and the food was wonderful . They would have received 5 stars but the music was a little loud and the air conditioning unit was loud at the table in back . So it was hard to hear at times . We still had great conversation despite Pearl Jam lol lol I recommend Alibi for anyone... Yes we try to come here occasionally ... I love that they have Happy Hour everyday ! Sunday as well . Sunday seems to be a quieter slower day which I love. However this Sunday was noisy . I never knew 4 people could be so loud and animated with their conversation. We decided to move toward the back so we could hear each other and enjoy our Sunday burger . The waitress apologized for their loudness which wasn't necessary , but certainly great customer service . After all it is a Bar . That's why we try to come when it's slower . So no woree Albi's you're still top on our list . read more

Stopped by the Alibi on a rainy Saturday afternoon. Heard a lot of Good things about their Brunch. They have a nice brunch and lunch menu. My friends and I ordered a couple pitchers of Mimosas along with some food. I'm only giving them a 3 star because I didn't enjoy the shrimp and grits. I wasn't aware it had sausage in it and it was very salty. I did enjoy the lemon pepper wings. My friends enjoyed the waffle panini and a few other things. Courtney was our waitress and she was really nice polite and patient. She actually had us cracking up at a few times. It's rare to have great waitresses like that. Atmosphere was pretty cool and it looked like they have entertainment some nights. I will return again and try something else on their menu. read more
