Review from Tony T.

I have lived in Deer Valley for quite a while now and I drive by Alexi's at least twice a day yet, I have never ate there. Well, my wife and I figured what the hell and gave it a shot. Not too bad! We have gone twice now and the food and service has been great. Prices were very fair for what you get. I tried the chix fried streak and the eggs with corned beef hash, my wife had the breakfast burrito - all very good and filling!
Now, the bad news. Old, Old, Old! From the wallpaper, the booths, the servers, & the patrons. It reminded me of an old 70's retirement diner. Think a little like Mel's Diner meets Golden Girls..
Anyway, looking past that - the place has some good food for the right price! You can feed the family here and not break the bank! Plus, it's a local Mom & Pop place that needs support - Better than Denny's or IHOP... -

I came in and it felt like i had five waitresses. The tip's going to suck if they have to split it five ways. I came in with a party of 4 for breakfast. The sausage links were burnt. My steak had black burn marks where it was charred, but was still too rare at other spots. Even the english muffins were too black. The only thing that turned out right was the kids meal, scrambled eggs and toast.
I won't be back. -

I've driven by alexis about a hundred times and kept thinking I should stop in but never got the chance. Today was an errand day, so I thought it might be nice to fuel up first and alexis hit the spot. This will certainly be my new weekend breakfast spot.
I opted for the corned beef hash and it was prepared just the way I like it! The hasbrowns are sorta flaky and browned and super yummy. My bf got pancakes and they were fluffy and tasty. One of the best parts was that the little jelly holder had apple butter! Haven't had it ages - yummmm!
The portions were large, I only made it through half of my meal and my bf finished his, but just about had to undo the button on his pants hehe. The staff was very friendly and welcoming.
I'm giving this place 4 stars but its more like 4.5....it smelled funny when we walked in and we almost left, although I'm glad we didnt. It also took a bit to get the check. The decor is also far outdated, but charming in my opinion.
My own little gem in my hood, glad I stopped in and looking forward to my return! -

Down home french toast with whipped butter, yummy! My boyfriend had the skillet which was cheesey, bacony and hot! Belly warming goodness everytime.
Breakfast on the weekends, this is my favorite spot. This ol' diner has no fancy bells and whistles, country decor wall paper with old fashioned sweet customer service. I love the sweet ladies that work here and the meals are made quick, no long wait. They have a small TV by the counter bar where I've been able to catch a soccer game once or twice. I ask nicely to change the channel. :) -

This place deserves a high rating, because it is great at what it is. The decor is 1970s, and the clientele are in their 70s :). It's an old fashioned family style restaurant with comfort food your Mom made you as a child. It reminds me of the Midwest, which I do have good memories of.
Everything I've had has been delicious, from a chorizo skillet to meatloaf-mashed potatoes-green peas. Kicking it old school! -

I was really unimpressed. They get a weak 3 based mainly on the service which was the strong point of the visit this morning.
Arriving about 8 on a Thursday morning the restaurant was about full. Given the choice between a booth and the counter I chose a booth. Ordered decaf which there was afresh pot brewing and it came in a few minutes. Ordered the Country breakfast (normally $5.99 but was the daily special at $4.99) with 2 eggs, a split biscuit with gravy and 2 slices of bacon.
The biscuits were ok. I prefer a sausage gravy rather than the pepper gravy they make but it was ok. The bacon was tasty but thin and not lean. The eggs were runny in the middle.
The building and interior was showing a lot of wear. There ware a lot of regulars even after the morning rush of folks heading off to work. The service was really good and friendly.
Overall this place was a reasonable value in that you could get a breakfast at fast food prices with wait service. Not sure I would make it part of a regular rotation but I may stop again because of where it is in relation to where I travel. -

Retro place with wallpaper that is decades old, literally. This place has an old school diner feel, with some odd similarities to other places - the plates are similar to those Denny's uses, and the brown brick floor is just like the ones you see at McDonalds. Food is very mediocre though, and regular prices are steep for what you get (hit the weekday specials if you come here). Staff was alright. Lot of obese patrons here for some reason.

Alexis is your alomst typical Diner setting. If I remember corectly this was a Country Kitchen back in its day.
They have a great selection of Breakfast, lunch and dinner. The specials are hard to beat. They also have some greek food too.
I had a grilled bacon (yum) and cheese (yum) on toasted sourdough (yum) with a side salad and homemade rice pudding. $4.32 !
Sandwich = 5
Salad = 3.5
Rice Pudding =4
The decor is bad, pink and countryish. The service was excellent. The food was excellent. The price was more then fair. I actually felt like I ripped them off so I left a nice tip. LOL
PS The Montecristo is a great sandwich too. -

I wasn't terribly impressed with the breakfast I had here. I ordered biscuits and gravy, with a scrambled egg and bacon.
The egg was flavorless, the bacon was kind of wimpy, and the biscuit and gravy was subpar.
Seems like a friendly enough place, but I don't think I'd go back. -

My fiance and I discovered Alexis while moving into the area. Covered in moving filth, hungry, and not wanting to talk to anyone (including each other) after a long day of hauling boxes up and down stairs we stumbled into the diner. Decor is drab and out dated, but who cares. We went 3 times that week until I un packed our pans, perfect spot for a club sandwich and a cup of way too salty chili (which I really like). All brought to your table my a surly older lady that is vaguely reminiscent of Flo, I always expect her to tell someone to kiss her gits. Its nothing amazing, but its not horrible, and you can find at least five members of the family that owns it in the corner booth near the kitchen at any given time.

We stopped in on a Friday night so I would not have to cook. I ordered the Roasted Turkey dinner with stuffing, mashed potatoes and cranberry. What they brought me was awful!! The first bite I had was a really bad tasting meat with a greenish/yellow gravy. I had to spit it out in my napkin. The waitress was extremely nice and so was the manager and they did take it off of my bill, but I would have to say there is nothing homemade about this family restaurant. It was obvious that everything was from a can. The cost of our bill was too high for the quality of food. Unfortunately, I would not recommend this place and we won't be coming back. It is really a shame that there isn't a good neighborhood restaurant in this area where someone can get some home cooking. I never expected it be gourmet, but seriously...this bad?
