The Alibi Bar & Grill

"What a great little place to grab a bite to eat! Nice atmosphere, clean inside and friendly staff. The food was amazing! I got the olive burger and it was cooked to perfection and the home made hand battered onion rings are a must-have."

"First time visiting, first impression was, wow, nice atmosphere, clean welcoming. China our waitress was very welcoming. Asked her her recommendation on the food. She pointed out it was taco night and the special for the night. She explained where the beef came from and the food was all home made. We ordered the special, and tacos. Both were amazing. Really great food, service and atmosphere was perfect. We will be back nice to fine a hometown place that has great food and service. Thank you China for making us a regular."

"We love coming here and having China for a server/bar tender!!! She make me the best drinks and I have tried more cocktails in the last 11/2 coming here than I have since I could start drinking! SO TASTY! And they have awesome food!"

"Came to this place for the first time on a Thursday. We were seated immediately upon walking in but waited a good few mins before we were greeted/asked what we wanted to drink. Took our drink orders and we waited even longer for that. Like so long my fiance was talked about leaving because he felt we were being ignored. Our waitress comes and says she has our drinks coming up and we put our order in. We then realize, as more ppl walk in and due to where they seated us (we could see and hear just about everything) that it was graduation night and they had a ton of big party reservations ontop of people walking in wanting to be seated. The staff's resourcefulness and quick on the feet thinking when it cake to trying to accommodate walk ins on top of the reservations. Granted there were some who were turned away, but the way the staff collaborated and "think tanked" was pretty cool to see just because it showed team work. We ordered bacon wrapped asparagus, crunchy potato balls, fried) pop pickle spears and the queso with beef, espresso martini and a modelo. The drinks were good, the food was decent. The crunchy potato balls were ok, they tasted like there is sage or poultry seasoning used, it was like eating a Thanksgiving hashbrown ball. The pickle spears were the least favorite, didnt have tons of season other than what was on the breading which we believe is seasoned bread crumbs but The chips and queso and beef were ok too. The queso wasnt really quesoee. The bacon wrapped asparagus...10/10 highly recommend...chefs kiss The ranch was good. The inside is kind of small but they have outside seating as well. Its obviously a popular place because everyone was coming in, so clearly its a highly liked/frequented place. For Ionia, I would highly recommended it as a place to visit, probably one of the better restaurants in Ionia."

"We discovered this place last year with a group event. It was so good it was worth the trek to come back. The food is excellent... fresh and unique with lots of choices that will suit anyone's taste. The service was great especially considering the large size of our group. We will be back!"

"We ate here last night while visiting Ionia. I had pretzel bites with cheese sauce, and Mexican corn with cajan shrimp (one of the specials). Everything was delish! Including the cocktail I ordered. The services was amazing. The waitress was quick and attentive and super nice. We will definitely be back!"

"The Alibi has a great variety of food and drinks. There are traditional burgers and sandwiches as well as some more exotic choices. I like their pretzel bites with cheese dip and my French dip sandwich with fresh-cut fries was very good (although my daughter prefers their beer-battered fries). They are famous for their bacon-wrapped asparagus which I have not tried yet. The homemade ranch is amazing! I'm not a big ranch fan, but I could drink this stuff! Take note before ordering the chicken strip/tender basket: they are not "normal" chicken strips. I would consider them to be much more like a schnitzel. The crunch is superb, but there's definitely more breading than chicken. They aren't bad, just different than what I would normally envision. The onion soup is also very unique but I liked it. It has a bit of a kick, so beware. I did not care for the chicken shawarma; it was VERY dry. The only reasons I gave the atmosphere 4 stars are the bar seems extra high and is not comfortable to sit at (I'm short) and it's always cold in there. So cold, I have learned to sit by a heat duct. There is ample parking close to the building with a wheelchair ramp on one side."
