I'd rate this place half a star if I could. I went years ago and it was nothing special. Tried again just ordered the basic breakfast special with scrambled eggs (asked for cheese on top) hashbrowns, bacon, sausage and ham. The eggs came out with a slice of cheese melted on top of it. The bacon was old and way over cooked as well as the outside of the sausage but at least the inside was consumable by my 1 1/2 yr old I was sharing with. A square slice of cheese barely microwaved on top of my eggs was very unappetizing to me. So other then the hash browns I didn't eat much. My significant other got the club sandwich and the turkey was more dry then you'd normally expect dry turkey to be. Also...
My husband really enjoyed his roast beef and said it was excellent, though he isn’t a fan of mixed vegetables. Fortunately, I enjoy them! He also ordered the chicken stir fry for me. While I typically like it, this time was different. The sauce was a golden color instead of the usual rich brown, and I’m not sure if it was watered down or if they used a different recipe. I managed to eat part of it but ultimately couldn’t finish it, so I ended up throwing away more than half of the dish. I don’t think I’ll order it from this restaurant again.
Alex's was recommended as a nice local family owned diner. It looks great inside and out. Nice lunch vibe. However, the service was poor. The server barely looked at me while taking (before, during, and after) my order no smile. Never got water, though I watch glasses going to tables around me. I ordered a BLT, and while there was a good portion of thick sliced bacon, it had a distinctly sour greasy flavor. I love local restaurants and giving great reviews, but couldn't do it this time.
The restaurant has a nice and serene atmosphere with generous portion sizes. The food is absolutely delicious, and the staff is attentive and professional. I enjoy dining here because I can have a meal without the distraction of television noise. There are plenty of tables and booths available. I’ve been there several times and have never been disappointed. Plus, there's a stoplight nearby, which makes it easy to head north on Rochester Road.

This has to be one of the best family diners. We always try to go to family diners when we travel, and this was definitely worth it! The food was amazing from the fajita to the stir fry and the Philly cheese stake! We actually spoke to the owner, who was filling our coffee cups! The waitress was also very friendly and fast! I would definitely go back
The waitresses are fantastic. However, it seems that the older gentlemen in the kitchen, likely the owners, struggle with handling stress. They often become frustrated with one another and unfortunately take it out on the waitstaff. What I observed was quite absurd.
This place is pretty good and decently priced. Great breakfast and it's available all day. I really like the Gratiot location as well but this location has a much cleaner interior. You never wait long so I appreciate that and will definitely be back
Beautiful, clean diner with amazing food! My wife and I are from out of town and were just passing through. We are glad we stopped! This was a great choice for a dinner spot. We will be back next time we are in the area.
