Alpha Soda

This review has been edited by post originator: Alpha Soda used to be a 5 ⭐ rating until mgmt change mid 2018. The review immediately below was before the change and I chose to leave it here so everyone could see what it used to be like..... Great for inexpensive home cooking. Baked chicken, turkey, liver & onions, pork chops, burgers, plus great sides. Breakfast all day too!! But since the mgmt change, it's only a 3⭐, maybe a 2⭐ if I'm being honest.... The restaurant has lost it's flare for great dinner "comfort food". Mgmt has changed and so has the menu to the detriment of what Alpha Soda has stood for for over 100 years. Ordered the meatloaf and it came out raw in the middle and when we complained, they said it wasn't raw it was just not mixed properly. Not true...IT WAS RAW!! Didn't take it off the bill but replaced it with chicken and waffles (which was very good). Veggies we're marginal and tasteless, service was slow, mgmt was unaccommodating, and the renovations were less than impressive. We've been going there for over 10 years, doubt if we'll be back. :(

They are under renovations. The service was terrible. We had to ask waitress for everything. Even the menus. My "hand made" tatter tots did not look or feel hand made. They were oily and cooked at low temperature for too long. They looked and tasted like frozen tots. My burger was not hand made. It was a frozen patty. It even had a freezer burn flavor. There was nothing about my meal that it should have cast me $9.00. I have had much better service and food at burger king. At least I know what am going to get at burger king. Don't expect to get your water or coffee refilled here unless you ask for it. Save your time and money.

I stopped by for an omelette last weekend. It was dead when I arrived on Sat. at 10:45 am. Still, it took the waitress 10 min. to come to my table, another 10 min. to bring me water and finally she took my order. After a 25 min. wait, I was brought my $12 omelette and my $2.49 coffee. Already I am thinking, "not a great value, but it looks like it could be good." As I am eating, the place starts to fill up, and my waitress never came back again. Not to check on me, to see if my food was ok, to perhaps refill my water or my coffee. Finally, after being finished for a good 1/2 hour, I managed to flag down one of the bus boys who was running food to the tables. I asked for my check and he took my credit card. My waitress FINALLY came over with my receipt and credit card 15 minutes later. She "apologized" for the wait. I left her a $2 tip on $16 since I was so annoyed. I really should have left nothing. I just checked my bank statement and she actually had the nerve to add $1.00 to her tip. I am appalled and just tried to call the restaurant to dispute the entire tip at this point--of course the phone just rings off the hook, no answer, even though they are supposedly open. What a joke. This place should be closed. Over priced nothing great food, and LOUSY service. I won't ever be back.

This is a quaint neighborhood restaurant that has been in business since 1920. I tried the Spicy Black Bean Burger with roasted red peppers, mushrooms and melted jalapeno jack on a multigrain bun and it was really tasty. Then tried the Peanut Butter Pie for dessert and that was super. The prices are a little higher than expected, but I think the food is very good. I also had great service.

We frequent this restaurant often due to easy accessibility, great food, service. They have daily specials and they have a "four Vegetable plate". We've even purchased our food to go. They're relocated their bar for those individuals who drink. The environment is pleasant; not too loud. Seating is available in a screened in area. They're a lo
