Alcove Restaurant

We had a wonderful experience our 1st time being there at this restaurant The food was wonderful and the waitress very kind we will definitely go back

My brother and I recently stopped into the alcove for lunch. It had been a few years. I was reminded of a place we frequented with our parents as children. The food was absolutely delicious and I left miserable. That is to be taken as a compliment. I don't usually have a large appetite but I just couldn't help myself. Many times they will offer an "all you can eat" special. My face always lights up when I see the sign in the window. We grabbed a corner booth reminiscent of those 50s style diners. First I noticed our waitress was super friendly. I asked about the brand of coffee they served and asked if it had been changed in the last 20 years. As we were finishing, she brought over a bag of coffee and showed me the brand. I am a bit of a coffee connoisseur and by that I don't mean a $7 cup of Starbucks but a fresh ground cup of brewed strong -hot yet mellow coffee. And yes it was the same coffee I had 20 years earlier when my dad was still around and we occasionally had breakfast there. Folks, this is another one of those home cooked meals you can have away from home. You are subject to run into anyone at the Alcove. A lot of folks who work downtown frequent this place. You can sit at the bar, in a booth, or in the dining room. I worked downtown for a number of years until the dreaded p-demic. I'm so glad that the Alcove survived that mess. After all this time, I was pleasantly surprised when I walked into that same warm friendly atmosphere. It gave me a feeling of stepping back in a time machine into one of those restaurants from the 60s -70s given the decor and the range of clients. You will find awesome food, people smiling, chatting, laughing. It's a regular melting pot as you will find contractors, lawyers, clerks, bankers, retirees and people from all walks of life agreeing on one thing. This place is incredible. The coffee is hot and consistent. I Heard lots of first names tossed around not trying to dip in on conversations but the chatter lent itself to a unique atmosphere and is reminiscent of a friendlier time when people took the time to eat lunch and digest, refuel and have a midday break before returning to work. The alcove has served downtown Sidney a good number of years. It's been there for as long as I can remember and I am nearly 60. It's early enough this Saturday that I'm thinking about breakfast right now. I'll see you there. You can buy, I'll leave a nice, well deserved tip,!

Small town local restaurant. They serve huge portions and the prices are fair. Opens at 5:30 am. Only serve breakfast and lunch. Everyday (M-F) they offer 1 large meal that is all you can eat.

If you come out still hungry it's all on you they are very nice and kind to all . We love there hamburgers and fries and there barbecue pulled pork are the best .
