Review & Rating
The restaurant has a parking lot in the back, I was able to find a spot. We had lunch because it was late for breakfast, I ordered a hamburger and it was great. The server was friendly and very professional. I will definitely return.
Original Alps is a great place to get breakfast for the time of day I go there. Foods is always delicious, literally hot off the grill when served. Even when the place is packed the service is very good, and this place gets busy especially on the weekends. Ample parking both in lot and along the streets.
A few of the waitresses are very dry and always in a bad mood. Food in the past few time there has not been the best. But the coffe is great...
I've been stopping here occasionally for years. Clean, reasonably quick and good quality fare. The cooks know how to prepare an appealing meal to your request. I ordered the highest priced breakfast skillet with coffee and the bill was about $17 with taxes. May be a little pricey but, I'll always return because this is a clean, well run Greek owned restaurant with quality products.
Good Service, great Food in a nice relaxed environment. I had a banana waffle,side of ham with a real good cup of coffee (2) and loved every bite. Always ownership available.....overseeing the operation. Waitresses are on the spot, obviously trained well.
If you want Biscuits and Gravy, go to Alps. Tender biscuits melt in your mouth and delicious gravy that's more than just flour and milk with the sausage drippings. Delicious, with a fun and witty waitress to boot!
In a spot of town with great street parking. We were sat quickly on a sunday morning with a group of 5. Food prices were lower than what I've seen around but still can be considered a little high. Food was okay, when I ordered the french toast breakfast I was expecting more than just one slice of french toast but it's whatever. I recommend it.
This is really between 3 and 4 stars, mainly because I love American diners and this one is a classic one. Depending on when you go - your experience with service varies. I would recommend visit during the week when it is less hectic and more consistent when it comes to wait and food. Weekends are not recommended.
This place was popping! Sunday morning this is the place to be. A huge menu full of tasty items and an amazing staff getting it to you. So many good things, but stand outs are the pancake and omelets for breakfast and salads and sandwiches with soup for lunch. Come early on the weekends cause it fills up quick.
This is a great place. We go here for breakfast occasionally when we're overnight in the area. Typical Greek family restaurant, (but extra nice atmosphere, IMHO), friendly owner and staff, and fair prices. Seems always a busy place but, today anyway, didn't seem as awkward to get coats situated like in some restaurants. RECOMMENDED.
Delicious food. Good service if you get a regular as your waitress. Ours is Denise. The owners are spectacular, at least the guy is Mr Theo
