| - I enjoy being at MacAlpine's. This really isn't something I can say for most restaurants in Phoenix. I like to linger and hang out due to the charming, lived-in atmosphere, the forgotten Andrews Sisters hits on the stereo, and the people-watching.
This is a place where you (I) go for certain things only. I'm not a huge fan of the food because it's not my style. It's the kind of stuff my grandmother fixed for lunch on summer vacations. Plain, old fashioned fare. If you are nostalgic for white bread and mayo, then get to MacAlpine's NOW. That said, I have had some good sandwiches there, and I like a place that doesn't serve unnecessarily gigantic portions of food.
The service is always very friendly and pleasant, and they have some good stuff in the two antiques shops on either side of the restaurant.
Here is what I want from MacAlpine's: Get a website! Oh my god! (& when you do, put your menu on it) And secondly, I'm pretty sure they don't serve espresso drinks right now, despite the fact that I believe I have noticed an espresso machine behind the counter. If I'm right about that, I should be proven wrong post haste. I would really like to be able to get lattes at MacAlpine's, because I'm just not a malt, phosphate or egg cream kind of lady.
