“ Yes! Excellent! There is a nice variety of meals on the menu. Coffee is great. I had the Mid-Western skillet with added gravy on the skillet and cheese on the eggs. The open garage windows made for a nice indoor space with fresh air. The ambiance with background Country music was pleasant. The staff was attentive and friendly. I'll be back to try the Belgian Waffles. ”
“ We took two tired little girls in to eat after a long day at the Aviation and Space Museum and Waterpark. The food was excellent, for the adults and the kids. And our server went above and beyond to help make the girls feel special and welcome. Thank you so much, I'll gladly come back when visiting the area! You all were amazing, thank you! ”

“ We had a lovely dinner tonight in the dining room. We ordered the salmon cakes and the fish stew. The stew came with garlic toast. The food came out fresh, hot and was absolutely delicious! I don’t think I have ever had such yummy salmon cakes. Paired with a nice glass of wine. and Sydney were our servers and they were so friendly and personable. Great experience! ”
“ Today was my first time visiting Alpine Crossing. The staff was very friendly and the atmosphere very relaxed. I have a food allergy that doesn't allow me to eat strawberries. Rather than require I pick something different on the menu, they made a slight change so I could order the Cheesecake Waffle like I wanted. And I'm so glad they did, it was delicious! I will definitely be visiting again. ”
“ My wife and I went to the Alpine kitchen today for the 1st time. Having been referred by a lady in the bank. The staff was very friendly and cheerful from the moment we entered. Knowing nothing about the establishment, we scanned the menu, and we saw a few of our favorites My wife ordered salmon Benedict, and I ordered the hash and eggs. The hash was a ten. The meat was fried with potato, onions, peppers, etc. It had a wonderful caramelized rich crispness to it, and my egg were perfectly cooked to order. Delightful My Wife's Benedict was delicious. She wasted no time finishing all. Added note. The staff was gathering around the counter, looking at and photographing a tall glass decoratively filled and garnished. Since they were excited about it, I jokingly said I'd be glad to review that for them. A few minutes later, they brought it over to us and informed us it was a mocktail. A Chicken and Waffle Bloody Mary! The glass was rimmed with a Cajun spice and garnished with pickled geenbean, asparagus pearlonion, celery, and a Pepperoncini pepper. It was well seasoned with a nice bite. Not overwhelming. They do have three kinds of hot sauce at the table for the adventurous. It was topped off with a chicken waffle. Belgian waffle just crispy enough with generous chunks of moist chicken throughput. We will be back! Fabulous!!! The Alpine Kitchen is the best place to visit just off Alpine Ave. ”
“ I talked to the owner! They have game nights for families! They are opening up for breakfast soon! You should definitely check this place out. They are open to all! The food was OMG good! They have an excellent chef! The staff was very accommodating. The booths in the "back" are very couples friendly and romantic. I highly recommend!! They are accommodating to dogs, too, just follow the posted rules. Staff is very friendly! Just overall WOW!! I've been in the restaurant business for over 25 years, and I see this spot being a place to go for community and friendship! We will be repeat customers! Thank you for the amazing service and food!! ”
