Alexander's Cafe

This is now the New Alexander's Cafe. The menu is much smaller than advertised here, the prices are higher and the new remodeling makes it look cheap.

The clean bathrooms have mouthwash & lotion dispensers and the ladies room has a step stool for your toddler and a nice stainless steel changing table for baby. Love it!

I'm from out of town but I spent a week in the area for business. I thought the food and the service was wonderful!!!

Newly renovated end of 2013 and so is the food. The fish tacos are HUGE! Imagine chicken tenders in a tortilla . And they are pretty tasty I might add. Like the new breakfast bar they added too!

Kathleen LeMaire

My husband ordered the corn beef hash skillet and it was exactly what he was expecting! Very good!

Tom Lemberis

...Place looks much better since the remodel, but their menu sucks now! They used to have a great selection, like great Greek family restaurants do, but they tried to get too fancy for their own good!

Noah Adams

building updates are great! it looks wonderful and the atmosphere is awesome!

Joe Becht

Pork chops were tender, cooked to perfection, and had yummy sauce. Prime rib was spot on

Corey Partin

The service was great and the atmosphere was chill . The fish tacos are great!

I ordered the veggie burger with no cheese or mayo and upgraded to sweet potato fries for 99 cents more... I was expecting more fries . This pic was taken before I ate anything.

Jose Resto Figueroa

This place definitely not cheap anymore. $$ is more appropriate. Smaller menu, smaller portions and bigger prices. We know now who is paying for the $800,000 remodeling. WE ARE!!

Larisa Grollemond

Friday fish fry is all you can eat and so good!

Henry Lewandowski

Another version of Squires. Little pricey but food was good. All in all not good enough for my return. But that's me other then price it was a good meal for what it was. Service was good and timely.

Bill Caples

Me and a co-worker went here on lunch . Waitress was okay because she acknowledged it was taking too long, 40 mins to receive our food. Bout time we did we had to rush to eat. Manager compensated us!

The meatloaf is wow. Nothing else needed. The staff is slow as Moses but still ok
