First off, we came for the monkey, but....he's no longer here due to covid and safety, so don't expect to see any live animals. The inside of the restaurant is cute....well decorated. The cashier, with really short hair and a heart necklace on, was eating in between delivering customer orders to tables, and not once did she wash her hands! Ewe....health inspector needs to swing by, it seems like she also continuously touched her face, clothes, and numerous other items without washing. The food is okay, nothing to write home about. Burgers came out a bit cold, which sucked, since we waited about 45 minutes for our food, the meat was also gross and chewy. The girl serving and taking order was just grungy, and we left without ordering any ice cream due to sanitary issues. We won't be back!
Perfect flavors for everything, my chicken strips and French fries weren’t over salted or over cooked they both had the perfect crisp too them. My husband enjoyed his homemade patty melt and said not only was it perfectly cooked but the flavor was just right. The gals working today were both eager to assist and very friendly. You can’t beat the service or the food, especially at their prices! If you haven’t stopped off here it is HIGHLY recommended, they make all their Pattie’s by hand and their own ice cream! Come on down and give these girls a shout out!! We will definitely be back the next time we are in town!!!
This place used to have decent food, decent portions and decent prices that is all since gone downhill. The ice cream is about the only thing left. That’s even remotely decent. They’re deep fried pickles are literally tiny slivers of pickle and they charge way too much for it. their elk burger is outrageous and it doesn’t even taste good it’s probably at least two days old meat. The waitresses behind the counter always look like they’re overworked and underpaid. The restaurant is always kind of dirty and smells funny they don’t switch out the oil very often so literally my french fries also tasted like chicken tenders and again they overcharge for everything because they are desperate and struggling and their business isn’t doing so well unfortunately they have a bunch of diehard fans that keep returning for the shitty food because they have a shitty taste in what they eat . Don’t waste your time or money here you’ll regret it.

Ok, when was the last time you had an actual milkshake straw in your milkshake??!! Are you kidding me? Hubby had vanilla and I had chocolate. You can't get the shake to the top of the straw without a bit of work. But hey, fabulous once it comes out! Tons of flavors but we like the basics! Basic burgers on the grill, but don't get me wrong, they have a killer selection of things including fried pickles! We shared fries and onion rings. Our large dog patiently waited for one to fall her way! Indoor dining so cute. We ate outside on one of over a dozen tables. Definitely will return. Friendly staff.
Back again. More photos. I hD shrimp basket. Butterscotch shake and strawberry shake. Yum.
My husband and I had the 1/2 pound burger. I love the sweet relish they use. Always juicy, never dry. Ice cream and shakes are delicious, too! ????
Good old fashioned shakes and burgers.
Really old fashioned decor and diner feel. Their half pound burger is awesome. The dripping down your arm from all the toppings kinda burger ???? ????
I recommend the waffle fries.
Old fashioned burger joint featuring burgers, a variety of sides, shakes, and ice cream. If you're passing through it's reasonably quick with decently sized outdoor seating.
Alf’s Restaurant in McMinnville, Oregon, is like walking into a time machine—if that time machine also made killer burgers. The atmosphere is retro, cozy, and has a definite "small-town charm" vibe that makes you feel like a regular even if it’s your first visit. But let’s talk about the main attraction: the burgers.
I ordered the Western cheeseburger, and let me tell you, it was anything but basic. The patty was juicy, seasoned just right, and had that perfect char that makes you wonder if they’re hiding a grill master back there who’s been flipping burgers since the 50s. The cheese? Melty and gooey enough to make me forget I’m supposed to be an adult trying to eat gracefully. The toppings were fresh—crisp lettuce, ripe tomato, and sweet relish that added just the right amount of tang.
The bun held its own, too. None of that soggy business halfway through. This was a burger built to last... at least until you devour it in 5 minutes flat, which I did.
One thing’s for sure: if you’re in McMinnville and not stopping at Alf’s for a burger, you’re missing out. Also, don’t sleep on their fries—crisp on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and the perfect partner to your burger crime.
In conclusion, Alf’s is flipping fantastic. Just don’t expect to share your burger because, trust me, you won’t want to.
