I previously ate here before, food was 10/10. I chose delivery this time, I will say that my delivery driver took a bit longer, so next time I will not order okra for delivery. It was soft and mushy and cold by the time it arrived. I also feel as if the funnel bites should be sprinkled prior to sending them out for delivery. But I still recommend Alli’s cafe.

I wish that I was able to leave zero stars. This had became my favorite place to eat. For the past month we had ate there during lunch 2-3 times per week. Never an issue until today. 4 out of 4 orders were incorrect and missing items. When I approached the waitress to obtain missing sides and advise that our orders were incorrect she began screaming at the top of her lungs for the entire restaurant to hear and start staring . I have never been so humiliated and embarrassed in my entire life. I have owned and operated 3 businesses at one time during my lifetime and an employee would never get away with treating a customer this way and the manager would have also been fired for poor customer service. The manager took the waitress back to the kitchen where she continued to scream and

Mediocre food at best. The food tasted like heat lamp stored food I was served in high school. We had the same waitress each time we came, and each time she had a less than inviting attitude when taking orders, and never once came to check on us on each of those visits. Let’s talk more about today’s visit. We come in for lunch, order the daily special with sides and drinks, and wait 35 minutes for it to be brought out. Once it comes out, my sides were wrong. I ordered hush puppies and fries, and I received green beans and hush puppies. I shrugged it off. Another person with my party ordered okra and green beans, she received the green beans and didn’t even get a second side much less her okra. She went up to our waitress who was behind the counter, and explained that our sides were wrong/m

The food is awesome. Home cooked meals and made to order menu food. Their prices are very cheap for the quality of food they serve. Everyone is nice and friendly. My favorite home style food restaurant ever. Everyday they have lunch specials that consist of 2 choices and comes with a tea for 9.99.

You HAVE to try this “Special” Cafe at least once, because you’re gonna get great food, no matter what you order and you’re gonna get a special kind of service that benefits a very good community. They offer two specials each day, a home-cooked meal or a sandwich style basket. The portions are generous and delicious. The place is clean and spacious. The price is absolutely unbelievably very affordable and for me it beats any restaurant in Shelby if you want good simple delicious homemade meals made by a great cook/ chef, seek out ALLI’s Cafe. I’m definitely going back along with my husband who is very picky and he loved his too. I will be adding more photos as time goes on.
