Ali's Bar and Grill — Restaurant in Madeira

Visited for the first time tonight! It was a pleasure. First impression was that for a "dive bar" they have a fancy but not too fancy menu. We each paid $25ish for an entree, drink each, and appetizer. I was most impressed by how clean it was. Aside from one french fry on the ground it was absolutely spotless. As a germaphobe I absolutely loved the wrapped plastic ware on the tables. The food was fast and everything was really good. We decided to come because they have a few vegan options and my friend is vegan so it was a good fit! She had "the roasted" which she loved. I had the Cesar salad which was standard and good! We split the quac and chips. Both were good and house made and reasonably priced. The owner came in toward the end which really amped up the atmosphere, everyone was glad to see her!

Lastly, they aren’t on the menu yet but see if balls in a basket are available (fried donuts, OMG, they are even better Sottos!!!) . Everything is fresh and sauces are made from scratch. Ali is a doll! One of the sweetest people on the planet! She was so sweet to my kids, we...

I had heard the food was good, so stopped by for dinner with my mom and daughter. The atmosphere is dive-y and simple, but clean. There aren’t a ton of draft beer options, but the ones they had were pretty varied, so that was nice. The service was excellent - the bartender was attentive and kind, even as more folks showed up. My toddler LOVED the fries, the tacos are really good, and the Caesar salad I ordered was a good portion size, so I was still able to finish the food my toddler didn’t eat (IYKYK). I’m already planning to try a burger next time we go, because they look really good. Would not hesitate to go back or...
