4 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Alva

“First the good, I had the country-fried steak with mashed potatoes and salad. The homemade ranch was delicious but the lettuce could have been fresher. The steak and potatoes were good but the gravy wasn’t to my liking, personal preference I’m sure. My wife had chicken strips, mashed potatoes and green beans. The Strips were like homemade, the mashed potatoes (with no gravy per wife’s choice) were okay, the green beans were so-so. What stood out were the employees. Sorry I didn’t get names (11:15am on 6/21/25) but our waitress was attentive and friendly, we happened to overhear the managers interaction with another customer whose order was wrong (ordered no mayo but got it on their sandwich) and we very impressed! While the situation wasn’t dire and easily corrected, the manager still apologised profusely and rather than blame it on the cook or waitress took ownership of the mistake saying that it was his responsibility. This gesture is almost unheard of in society today. The food was good, their employees are great!“

“This is about the only dine in restaurant I ever eat at In Alva. Brandy is my favorite waitstaff. She is very friendly and kid orientated. Food is always prompt and delicious. Highly recommend.“

“You either love it or hate it! And it’s always the first place I head when I visit home. So, that pretty much sums up which side of the fence I’m on. ?

For at least 45 years, the food, the place, and the people haven’t changed much, and I hope they never do.

Parking: At lunchtime, the parking lot gets a bit full. Just squeeze in somewhere, or park down the block and walk.“

“great food. awesome family run restaurant! good people!“
