Cafe Alley

Try the carrot cake. Go for the carrot cake. Take carrot cake to go. Plenty of parking behind the building, the two spots next door can bring you carrot cake from Cafe Alley as well.

We were driving through on our way to Frisco and decided to stop based off of the Yelp reviews. Our criteria is always good reviews, good food pictures and a decent wine list. Cafe Alley ticked all of the boxes. When we got there we were prepared for a bit of a wait, there were a lot of people there on a Thursday evening. When it was our turn to put our name on the wait list the a waitress came by and said there is a table for two right here ready to go. So we were able to sit down right away which was wonderful after a long day of driving. Cafe Alley has a warm and inviting atmosphere and everyone working there was very polite and happy to help. It was quiet enough to hold a nice conversation. We started with the Smoked Trout dip and crackers. The dip was very tasty and the crackers were house seasoned with just a little spice to them. I did think the crackers were too salty but that is just a personal preference. For dinner I had the chefs special which was a diver scallops, shrimp and pancetta pasta which was super fresh and worth the calories. We got a piece of the carrot cake to go because we were absolutely stuffed and man was it worth it. I highly recommend trying the carrot cake.

Excellent service! The dining experience is as cool as they come. My friend ordered the chicken wrap. Sun dried tomato tortilla houses an array of veggies and grilled chicken + he ordered a side of fries. I ordered the blackened chicken breast. It was topped with spicy guacamole and rested on a bed of Spanish rice. We shared the carrot cake. Delectable! Melts in your mouth..dare I say a heavenly experience. Our server Brent knew a lot of history on the eatery and which methods were used to prepare our foods and vivid descriptions of the homemade treats and eats. Definitely a fantastic find! Stop by and see for yourself. So many dishes to try. Easy music, chill environment and they offer an outdoor area equipped with fans and overhead protection from the elements.

In Ardmore for a meeting and our group of 16 had dinner ar Cafe Alley. We were in a private room with an industrial feel, except for the two large screen TVs and overhead lighting. The venue appears to be an old rail yard warehouse. The railroad tracks are just to the east of the building. The building and the interior design are cool. The restaurant has a fun vibe.When I started to take photos, my phone was dead. Not wanting to be a bother, I asked the person next to me to borrow their phone to shoot my entree, skipping photos of the appetizers, and dessert.For starters on our end of the table, we ordered fried green beans and queso. The fried green beans were good and enjoyable. I did not read the name or description of the queso, but it was interesting, tasty, and very good. It appeared to me that they had put the queso on top of barbecue sause and then topped the queso with pulled pork. It was a good combination of blended flavors and textures. The accompanying chips and salsa were good.For my entree, I ordered the six oz. Filet with French fries and the Alley salad. The salad was a tossed garden salad that came cold and crispy. The filet was cooked to order, nicely seasoned and topped with worstheshie whipped butter. The butter was ok, but it was more of a distraction than a compliment to the steak. The beer battered fries were good. For dessert, I had the chocolate silk pie, and it was outstanding.The servers worked very hard and provided excellent service. The overall dining experience was good. The food quality was good. Cafe Alley is a solid four star restaurant.

Seems to be the place to go in Ardmore. I was recommended this restaurant from multiple people and it was pretty busy for a Tuesday night, there was a 20 minute wait. I ordered the Santa Fe chicken which comes layered with a lot of cheese. The entrée comes with your choice of two sides and there are a ton of options. (Fries, mashed potatoes, Mac and cheese, seasonal veg, soup of the day, salad etc) I chose the skillet cornbread and sautéed spinach. The cornbread was the highlight it was delicious and the butter they served it with too! The layout of the restaurant is unique with lots of historic signs and photos all over the walls for a cute vibe.

The food was outstanding--everything from the appetizer to the entree and dessert was absolutely delicious! The service was impeccable, with plenty of attentive staff, and a very friendly manager who checked in to ensure we were satisfied. The atmosphere was perfect, with secluded booths and a quiet, peaceful setting free of loud noises. Overall, it was a fantastic experience. Highly recommend!

Food was really good I had the chicken alfredo. Great atmosphere and Chloe was an outstanding server.

Such an awesome local spot. Service was amazing and the food was delicious. The carrot cake was the best I've ever had!When we got there, they had just opened for dinner and there was a line out the door, but it moved fast and we were seated in about ten minutes.
