Alva Country Diner
Diner
ππ Updated 7/3/23:
Service remains outstanding. Enjoyed massive, platter-sized pancakes. Ordered the short stack. If you dare, then come hungry. Bring cash, but it looks like they are using some of the cash apps now.

The service here is wonderful and the environment exudes small town charm. You'l...

Leo's French Toast House

π While I can't yet speak to whether their lunch offerings are good, I can certainly say that their breakfast is delicious. This colorful, informal country-style restaurant produces delicious homestyle breakfast favorites for some of the best prices I've seen.
I ordered the Leo's platter, which came...

Walmart Supercenter
Department store
π This Walmart basically has all the needs available for college students and the families of the town! The employees are nice for the most part, but can have attitudes with all the college students Iβm sure they deal with. Itβs always pretty packed but itβs always maintained pretty well I feel. I lik...

Cancun Mexican Grill
Mexican restaurant
π We were out of town and since many local restaurants were closed, we decided to come here for dinner. The restaurant has an open feel about it and so, even when they are busy, it did not feel crowded.
It took longer than expected for the wait staff to greet and sit us but once we were in place, we...

El Maya Mexican Cuisine
Mexican restaurant
ππ Stopped by for lunch and shade on a cycling tour in summer. As soon as I came in I was seated with the traditional jar of salsa, corn chips and a sauce plate. Iced water came shortly after I asked. Hugo gave me a couple of minutes to look through the menu and make a decision. He was very attentive a...

The Bull Smokehouse and Saloon
Bar & grill
π The food was spectacular and the homemade chips excellent. The wait staff was friendly but not very attentive. The staff also does not wear masks. It took a long time to get our food as well. They were not busy when we were here so if they are the wait could be long. Tables were clean and dividers s...

818 Diner
Restaurant
π Honestly the 818 Diner is probably one of the best things to happen to Alva. Over the past 9 years that I've lived in this town I've seen the establishment change constantly and I've never once seen the building get full until it became the 818 which I find amazing and I'm honestly proud of how well...

Alva Community Center & Park
Park
ππ I love this little park! It's so shady and there are monkey bars, rings to cross, a "zip line", two different spinning things, plus the classic playground with slides. Basically, it's fantastic.
