Cafe Alley

Wow, what a nice surprise! After a week of average food on the road this place was such a treat.We started with the trout dip as our appetizer and it was wonderful with those little firecrackers. I ordered the Short Smoked Salmon and it was the best I've had in a long time! I would give 5 stars but my husband's London Broil was dry and disappointing. Service was excellent, ambiance great and everything was clean! We will eat here any time we are close.

This is going to ruffle feathers, but, I feel Cafe Alley food is over rated. I have eaten here many time thinking that maybe they had an off night the last time. I have tried many different foods here and almost everything comes out being bland. Neither good flavor nor bad. I honestly feel that this is one of those places that no one wants to admit that it is just not that great food wise, especially for the price. Great staff, great atmosphere, drinks aren't bad, but I can pass on the food. This is just my opinion, take it as you choose. But, I am fairly confident that you will feel the same about the food.

The place is absolutely wonderful & I love eating here. It's clean with open ceilings & has a country farmhouse chic vibe . Food is made from the freshest ingredients & defiantly a higher quality than most these days I've eaten here many time & I've never been disappointed. That is if they haven't sold out of their famous carrot cake because that to me would be a huge disappointment. The chicken fried steak is delightful. The spin is the jalapeno gravy. Not to hot it has just enough zing to carry it over the top. I get the the baby red mashed potatoes plus the alley side salad. Actually all of their salads are always fresh. Then combined with the homemade blue cheese dressing, it's win for me. Don't forget to order the small pan of cornbread. Tastes better than granny's which is saying a lot. Yum! I usually get the fried green beans as a starter because of the sauce that gives it a little something extra. But the homemade hot pimento cheese or smoked trout dips are fantastic as well. The waffle cut sweet potatoes are good too. They have other desserts but for me none shine as bright as their decadent carrot cake. Which I might add is big enough for 2 to eat. I call it a mountain of sin on a plate & yes it has lots of calories . So I recommend sharing or taking one half of it home to have with your next mornings coffee. All portions are bigger than usual so the cost is defiantly worth it. Many of their items are big enough to share. Which with my crew we do often. Lastly the "Bloody Mary" is to die for. I'm usually a frozen margarita girl but not here. Enjoy!

The chicken fried steak had a good flavor. That mac and cheese was awful, no taste, simply bland. My mom had cook shack chicken and fell in love with it. All the staff was great and the location was easy to find. The prices were high but u get a lot of food, albeit tasteless.
