This place was tons of fun! I mean, it's the regular cheesy 50s memorabilia that is normally used to camouflage really terrible, greasy food that is over priced and has nothing to do with said cheesy memorobilia. Well the food at Alley Cafe doesn't have much to do with the memorobilia, either, but it sure is delicious!
The clam strips were super yummy and came with two sides and a choice of hush puppies or bread. For only 7 clams (pardon the pun) I had a huge plate of fried clams, onion rings, potato salad, and hush puppies. Also, these were some of the best onion rings I've had lately. My aunt and mom had the BBQ pork and fried Oyster sandwiches, and both looked perfectly done.
And the dessert here is hard to resist. They make all of their desserts on site.... and they sure do a good job! The cherry cobbler was hot, and instead of the normal crumb topping, it was more like bread pudding. Super yummy!
Also, the service was very friendly and attentive.
And they do the cheesy 50s memorobilia fairly well... sure, it's cheesy, but it's cheesy in a cute way. For instance, the ladies room has a full size Elvis on the wall, while the gents get Marilyn.
If you're ever in the Northern Neck, this is a place worth stopping! And ladies, don't forget to peek in the men's room!
