Alexander’s Bistro

Dining with Dirk: Sunday Edition After my morning trek, hunger set in, and I finally decided to stop at Alexander’s Bistro—a place I’ve passed countless times but never stepped inside. Turns out, I’d been missing out. Nicole greeted me the moment I walked in, and her warm, welcoming presence immediately set the tone for the experience. I ordered a self-serve black coffee and the Slow Start Scramble. The sandwich was cooked fresh, which meant waiting an extra couple of minutes—but that was quickly forgotten once it arrived. The cheesy eggs were creamy and perfectly cooked, while the toppings added perfect mix of texture and flavor. Nicole, along with another young lady whose name I didn’t catch, truly set the standard for hospitality. Friendly, attentive, and genuine—exactly how dining out

I only had iced coffee, with the eggs, bacon, and home fries, but every single item was exquisite. Supremely well-executed simple dish. Nothing is cheap in the historic district, but this was worth every penny.

The food was okay the portions however was smaller but that in its self wasn’t an issue. I did however find my food to be unappetizing and when I asked if there was anything that could be done, the owners mother first claimed to be the owner and said she couldn’t compensate or replace my meal in any way. After seeing the interaction the actual owner Aaron came to offer assistance with the matter and at least offered me some form of compensation but overall left me extremely unhappy with the service and the attitude I received was truly egregious and I would not recommend this place. But the young girls who took my order were super sweet. Shout out them!

I really don’t know what went wrong or how we’re the only people in the reviews who have had this experience but wow that was rough. We ordered 4 side items and only were given 3, had to wait for them to make more after asking. 3 out of 4 of our drink orders needed reminding when they didn’t show up in a timely manner with one of them needing 2 reminders. Additionally staff acted very confused and inconvenienced at every step of the way and had to repeatedly ask us what exactly we were waiting on. “Grits bowl” ordered to-go was haphazardly thrown into a paper to-go box with no bowl which was hilarious. Really just a series of events that had all of us looking at each other like “what???”. Food was nowhere near good enough to justify steep prices. Maybe this was a one-time thing but it was

I honestly can't say enough about this place. The breakfast was insane. Absolutely phenomenal. Service was friendly and efficient with timely food delivery. Also independent artist with very cool prints and canvases to enjoy looking through while they're making your food, and we decided to purchase one on the way out the door. We came here right after we got married at the courthouse in December 2024, it was absolutely perfect for the vibe and I can't wait to go back.
