True Belgian waffles are made with a yeasted dough but they were very good and flavorful. No syrup needed. The chicken tenders are t anything to write home about. They are standard frozen tenders. The sodas are creative and my daughter enjoyed hers. I had a small sundae and by the time they were served they might as well have been milkshakes. Overall not a bad experience. Service gets 3 stars because of the melted sundaes. Food freshness and quality gains 4 stars. Cleanliness 4 stars. Ambiance gains 4 stars but mainly because it sounds like an elementary cafeteria. The wait was long but we had friends to talk to. I love seeing the history all over. That's a solid 4 stars. I do recommend you give them a try.

We brought our dog and were thrilled to find their outdoor seating is pup-friendly. The staff was so friendly and service was fast. Like, impressively fast. Now let's talk food: the coffee was great, and the orange juice was super fresh. I had Janet's Stuffed Hashbrowns loaded with sour cream and cheese, served with rye toast and the most delightful strawberry jam. The scrambled eggs? Cooked perfectly fluffy. I also tried the cinnamon roll pancake which are incredible. The cream cheese frosting was to die for, and the crispy, sugary outer layer gave them the best texture. Affordable prices, dog-friendly patio, delicious food, and speedy, kind service--this place easily earns a rare 5/5 from me. I'll definitely be dreaming about coming back!

We were a little slow to be seated since they somehow crossed us off the list without seating us, but after straightening that out, our meal was worth the wait.

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!

They weren't actually that mushy and the crispy bits had a nice crunch. Link sausage was dry, without much flavor--bacon would probably be a better choice.

Hard to say much more about my meal here than "OK," so three stars.

I'm unsure if the food has changed at all but our experience was GREAT. The breakfast was about the best I've ever had while eating out. Everything tasted fresh and homemade, from the biscuits and gravy to the potatoes, nothing seemed like it came from a packet or freezer. The country fried steak was nicely breaded, the biscuits and gravy were great for it not being "homemade". The portions were huge while the prices were also great on the "Chicago" scale.

Have been here multiple times now:…read more - make a reservation online! They still might take a while to find you a table when you show up, but they always seem to have people waiting during the summer so a reservation is ideal. - sitting outside is much less loud/noisy. Dogs are allowed there if that's something you're looking for - drinks: wide array of beers and cocktails - food: love the spinach/artichoke dip, Brussels sprouts. Burgers and pizzas are solid options, skip the salads. Service and food is quite slow so don't come here if you're in a rush or be prepared if you have kids. Our appetizer also came out with the food which was unfortunate. Families: They do have high chairs, I didn't see an obvious changing table when I was in the restroom (but only was able to see some of the stalls). Overall a good place to get a burger / have lots of drink options and we will continue to come back.

Dining area was very clean, comfortable, and there were plenty of tables and room in between them. The restaurant filled up fast so we thought that was a good sign. I don't know if our server was new, overwhelmed, or both, but our service was VERY slow and we heard others around us complaining as well. Our food eventually came out and I would give it a C- rating. Most of it was cold. The food was not seasoned and most of it lacked flavor. The prime rib sandwich was good. The stuffed mushrooms barely had any "stuffing". I would not recommend and we won't be going back.
