Alex's has been a part of Berkley ever since I have lived here. It's always a good place to stop in for a quick, good meal. The menu has tons of options and they have the best fries! They staff are always helpful and kind.

Been going to this Alex's for years - breakfast, lunch or dinner there's always something fresh and delicious to eat. Today we ordered 2 of the dinners specials - the chicken pot was outstanding so yummy and there's plenty for 2 meals - and ordered the 16oz. Prime Rib it was one of the best I've had at a restaurant in a long time highly recommend it. As always great food and service. Thanks Alex's!

Close friend invited me to try a “great burger”. Burger was awesome - cooked to perfection, bun toasted right, veggies fresh, cheese melted great, and service off charts. Will be back for sure!! Well done.

Staff very accommodating to my 10 yr old grandson, for a nice simple outing for us both. Used to go there years ago when my adult children were young. This was 1st time I'd been in about 15 years. Still a great place for good food, great food sizes, and great prices. Great atmosphere, also.

I’ve been coming here since I was a kid, so about 30 years, and it’s still a wonderful family place to come to. The food is always good and what you expect it to be. The staff members are all so friendly and welcoming. I’ve never had a bad wait staff experience. The menu is diverse which is nice. For the first time today I tired pancakes with chocolate chips and pecans and it was great. I don’t even like pancakes, in general, but I would recommend those. I also have always loved their chicken lemon rice soup.

Alex’s of Berkley is our go-to spot for a consistently great meal and an even better experience. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and generously portioned, but what truly sets this place apart is the exceptional service—especially from Dee. Dee is a gem! She’s attentive without ever being overbearing, always personable, and somehow remembers all of our favorites like we’re old friends. Her warmth and professionalism make every visit feel like a special occasion. Whether it’s a quick lunch or a relaxed dinner, Dee ensures everything runs smoothly and that we feel truly cared for. If you’re looking for a neighborhood spot where the staff treats you like family and the food never disappoints, Alex’s of Berkley—and especially Dee—should be at the top of your list.

Met expectations. Fish and chips and chicken pot pie were average. Not great but certainly acceptable for a family style restaurant. Service was efficient. We are dinner and we will return to try breakfast.
