Customer Reviews

"Found Alice's while traveling near Crawfordville, Indiana. Great little hometown diner. Had breakfast for lunch and it was very good. Just as good were the two folks working behind the counter. The woman was great with her service. Had coffee with our meal and never had to ask for refills because she was always there before I could ask. The man worked the grill like a musician. No wasted movements handling multiple orders and the pork tenderloin he made filled the plate it was on. The locals eating there were just as nice as the staff. Great conversation and we enjoyed it as much as the food. If you're close, I recommend going if you're in the mood for good old fashioned diner food."

"We like to find local places to eat when we travel. This was very local and very good. If you've never had a breaded tenderloin from the Midwest, this is the place to try one! Prepared fresh, served hot to specification. Simple good food. Loved the outside of the building. Funky!"

"Do not sleep on this unique welcoming diner, when we approached, we were a little taken back by the outside eclectic hippie colorful outside exterior, the pictures on google must be a bit older. We went inside and it's a very traditional diner style and and we were warmly welcomed by the staff. We had the potato soup, beef vegetable soup with grilled cheese. The homemade desserts were to die for. Chocolate pie and Pumpkin Pecan cobbler. The desserts are made in house every day, and the soups are also made in house. The grilled cheese on rye was fantastic. The price was even better. I was able to get a grilled cheese bowl of soup and a drink for under $10. That's super unheard of. But what's even better? The food was outstanding. I will be back."

Perfect hash browns, sausage patties, and toast. Service was super fast. The place is small but seats turn quickly. Fun place to eat.."
