Had an absolutely wonderful time! The children’s menu had a broad selection! And the buffalo dip was amazing! Plus you can’t beat homemade chips! The bartender was awesome! China made the kids sprite&watermelon mocktails! They were so cute and flavorful!

The Alibi has a great variety of food and drinks. There are traditional burgers and sandwiches as well as some more exotic choices. I like their pretzel bites with cheese dip and my French dip sandwich with fresh-cut fries was very good (although my daughter prefers their beer-battered fries). They are famous for their bacon-wrapped asparagus which I have not tried yet. The homemade ranch is amazing! I'm not a big ranch fan, but I could drink this stuff! Take note before ordering the chicken strip/tender basket: they are not "normal" chicken strips. I would consider them to be much more like a schnitzel. The crunch is superb, but there's definitely more breading than chicken. They aren't bad, just different than what I would normally envision. The onion soup is also very unique but I liked it. It has a bit of a kick, so beware. I did not care for the chicken shawarma; it was VERY dry. The only reasons I gave the atmosphere 4 stars are the bar seems extra high and is not comfortable to sit at (I'm short) and it's always cold in there. So cold, I have learned to sit by a heat duct. ❄️ There is ample parking close to the building with a wheelchair ramp on one side.

Very cozy atmosphere and super fast, friendly service! The food was delicious: the beer cheese with the pretzel bites are a must have! I also had the Mr. Cranberry Chutney sandwich and the flavors and quality were remarkable! And the raspberry cheesecake chimichanga was the perfect, sweet end to a great dinner experience. Definitely coming back for more the next time i'm in the area!

Our first time there tonight and now our new favorite place!! BONUS, they are dog friendly!!! The patio outside was beautiful, servers were very friendly and helpful. Met us at the table with a bowl of water for our dog, and we were impressed from the moment we walked it! I wish I could remember our servers name but I didn’t catch it. Young guy, super friendly and did an awesome job!! We started out with the hot pepper cheese balls and they were delicious!! I had the Mrs. Cranberry Chutney chicken sandwich, the best chicken sandwich I’ve ever had! My hubby had the Southern Cajun Bowl and said it was delicious as well. We will definitely be back, and we are already looking forward to it!!!

Was a great frist experience, maybe different for colored people, but non the less food was great, service by the waiters was amazing attended to the costumer needs very well, I ate the Alibi Mac and cheese, and the Flying Dutchman burger very different but over all great experience, would recommend if you want a small town experience but modern delights.
