Me and my wife went and ate the best steak, had the best waiter. Would definitely recommend them.Thank you for good time.

Normally there is a long wait so please be aware it is normally 30 minutes to an hour depending on party size. However once you are seated it is one of the best dining experiences in southern Oklahoma. Great food at a good price and staff is friendly and courteous and even when restaurant is at full capacity the wait staff is buy constantly making sure your experience is top notch. Thanks my daughter had an awesome 19th birthday there this evening.

Our second time to dine at Cafe Alley. Food was amazing. The wait staff was once again wonderful. The restaurant is a true gem… Carrot cake is good, but try the peanut butter pie… WOW!

Great food and atmosphere.

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 daysI've eaten here many time & I've never been disappointed.That is if they haven't sold out of their famous carrot cake becausethat 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!

I love salmon and I’ve had it at many restaurants across the country but this smoked and grilled salmon is my favorite of anywhere I’ve been!

As always, Cafe Alley did not disappoint with their delicious lunch special and their even better chocolate roll for a delectable delight. The employees were kind and helpful and the cafe is clean and a hopping place to enjoy a meal.

Arrived on a Friday night. Or hour wait was spent across the street at their co-location. Great service, great atmosphere, multiple big screens tuned to sports. We had the trio chips, salsa, guacamole, and pimiento queso, which was outstanding. Cocktail for my wife, water for me, $28 before tip.Notification was via text message that our table was ready, which was slick.Our server was a rock star. Had a great time with him. My wife had the Stuffed Poblano, which she loved, and I had the classic Southern Burger. Fries were outstanding, burger was overcooked, and the condiments globbed on the bun. $38 before tip.Wish I could give 4.5 stars. Great experience overall. Definitely recommend.

It was excellent cuisine and very good service

Upon recommendation from locals and from the various on-line sources, I decided to try this place for a special occasion meal. We arrived at mid day on a Wednesday. The place was packed…and the wait was about 15 minutes. The menu had a good selection of sandwiches, burgers, casual entree’s and more upscale entree’s. There was a wide selection of steaks and seafood on the grill, too. Since it was a special occasion, we opted for the steaks. They come with the choice of two sides. I chose a side salad and waffle sweet potato fries. My guest chose mashed potatoes and Mac-n-cheese. The salad was good, fresh, and crisp. The potatoes and Mac-n-cheese were hot and tasty. However, the main event, the steak was poor. My guest’s filet was mainly well-done (ordered medium to medium well), and very tough. My sirloin was cooked to the correct temp, but was basically flavorless. The menu advertised a specially seasoned cut, but they must have forgot any seasoning at all. We finished off with a slice of Italian Cream cake, very good. Bottom line, don’t get the steaks…terrible for the price. Sides and desserts were good. Service was friendly. To be fair, they did offer to cook another filet, but we had waited a while and needed to be on our way with no time to wait on another entree. Way too expensive, $90, for just an ok couple of entree’s and one slice of cake (no drinks).
