Was searching for a burger place for a craving and super glad I stopped in. Food was delivered fresh and hot. I had the bacon cheese burger with fries and it was super good. They have daily lunch specials too so I plan to come back for one of those. Bacon was nice and crispy and burger came with all the fixings. The burger meal comes with a drink too and it’s worth every penny. They weren’t super busy and it’s a shame because the food was great. Hope this review helps get more people in the door. Looking forward to my next visit!

It’s a small dive bar feel with a family vibe. Nothing fancy, but very welcoming. Ashley is accommodating and the owner comes in and speaks and welcomes you in. The cook is back there cooking, but other than that, everyone else makes sure to come speak. The food was okay. As I was leaving, I stopped in the bathroom and realized there was no soap. That was my only complaint, because how is everyone washing their hands.

This is a little gem. Great food! I have been here twice. The first time was the Friday special, turkey and dressing, and more. The second time attempted to order the Wednesday special but we arrived late and they were out. I ordered the homemade burger and fries, and not disappointed! The server stated if we wanted the special of the day we would either have to come earlier or we could call to order, which they would hold for us. Very nice and helpful service!

From the minute we walked in we were greeted and we're seated immediately. Our server was very attentive and suggested menu items. Very welcoming atmosphere and the restaurant was filled with regulars, as the staff seemed to know everyone by name. The food was amazing, we will definitely be backz highly recommend Ali's.
