😐 Good place to watch sports and have a few drinks. The platter we got was not that nice but there was good volume. I'm sure other food on the menu are better. People often mention staff, great, Good, lunch, good, service, parking,

    If there would be an option of no star , I would have given that. The service was poor and importantly the manager Michelle, one of the worst I have encountered, no decency to talk to a customer. I wonder how the owners of the place have made her manager.

    Amazing experience in the restaurant. So sweet of Arian to take care of my clients during my visit today. One of the most important thing for a person like me to have my guests treated well. With so many staff shortages across the country, Alex Cafe is doing great. Thank you Arian and the team. Good parking, good food and nice people, and I will definitely come back with my friends and clients.

    Alexandra Park Raceway ground floor eatery and bar. Good atmosphere, different food options, the night I was there, there was a buffet and also pizzas and menu to order from. Good night out

    $20 burger special on Saturday. Was so yummy and fulfilling that I couldn't eat any of the Buffalo wings that I had ordered as well. I had those for lunch the next day and they were delicious too.

    Quite a good place 1/2way between the city and heading towards Auckland Airport

    Roy was dedicated to ensure we enjoyed our visit. Buffalo wings were popular and the pizza/burgers huge. Great parking and plenty of space to meet up

    Good place to have a beer and hang out. Slightly on the expensive side. They do have TAB and Gaming machines so if you're bothered by that, not the place for you. Well maintained though. I would go back again.

    We went for the Thursday rib special. Excellent service and atmosphere. Delicious food, slightly Smokey slightly spicy ribs with chips and coleslaw. I would definitely try the other specials.

    Good Scotch fillet! Very professional staff, good prices.

  • 5/5 Therese H. 1 year ago on Google
    We love this Cafe for its casual easy atmosphere and spaciousness overlooking the racecourse. There always seems to be free parking available too. The staff are friendly and there's a great array of food: from fresh counter food, sandwiches, pies, salads, quiche to amazing looking burgers, toasties, and yum hot chips. It has changed hands over the years, and the current owners deserve to succeed with all that they're offering. Today we were looked after by a lovely member of staff Tina, who went out of her way to organise that the kitchen make us some lush ham and salad club sandwiches. Enjoyed a beer with our lunch as well.

    The best toasted sandwiches ever. We are regular visitors here. Quiet and peaceful atmosphere. No background music.

    Good sports bar, pokies, pub meals and TAB. On site in Alexandra Park racing grounds at ground level. Great live race viewing from dining area or outside in front of track

    Truly disappointed with the manager (mitchell). I have experienced a couple of times her bad attitude and lack of management. I hope the owners realize this as they would lose business because of her, the facilities are great and the location couldn’t be better.

    August 2023 We returned as part of group of 14 people for dinner. Having booked in well ahead of our dinner. The tables were all set for dinner and reserved. The staff provided excellent service and the food was very nice. We are already planning a lunch function to be held in 3 months time. I would certainly recommend the Alex Bar & Eatery for an informal lunch or a planned dinner. It has been two years since the last time we dined here. The service remains at the excellent level it was before Covid-19. Previous occasions were for dinner and this time we decided to treat ourselves to lunch and meetup with friends. The food we chose as per the menu was excellent. The cafe selection of food was very appealing too. We will return sometime in the future to enjoy the food along our friends and a great atmosphere. Subsequent to our most recent lunch visit we have chosen tha Alex Bar & Eatery to be the next venue for Lunch for a big group of former College Friends. This will happen in the next 6 weeks.

    Excellent value for money, certainly did not leave hungry.

  • 2/5 Barry G. 2 years ago on Google
    I took 2 guests for drinks and some snack food tonight. I’m usually very happy with the food however the Buffalo chicken wings we had tonight were terrible. They looked to be reheated and they were very tough. No sign of any blue cheese either. At $24 they were way over priced. We ate at the bar around 6 pm on Friday 31 July. Really appreciate you getting back to me regarding my review. Cheers Barry

    Always great food and friendly staff at The Alex! I've been coming here on and off for ages. Prices are fair. Easy parking too, at least it is when not a race day.

  • 5/5 Rainbow Pride A. 3 years ago on Google
    We love hosting our regular Drag Bingo nights here. The team are fantastic and welcoming of our rainbow community. Cocktails on point, and the food is awesome. We'd recommend hosting your community event here.

👍👍 I have always wanted to try this restaurant. Finally, I visited with my family. A portion of the large plate was a bit smaller than what I expected; however, the overall taste of every single dish we tried was so good 👍 And also, service was 100%. I definitely will come back to try the rest of the...
