Honey and I visited old Alice last Saturday, mostly because we're indecisive and the only thing I knew for sure was that I wanted pie. It's close to home too, which is always a nice plus.
We'd been there a while back during the floods when our go-to Sunday breakfast (Sante Fe Burrito Company) was closed and were reasonably impressed. I'd been there a few times but for whatever reason it never jumps to mind when I go out. There's the local faithfuls who go ALL the time. That's a clue to the quality right there. As honey says, you know there's good food if it's full of old people.
Last visit we had breakfast, but this time we were in the mood for warm comfort food. I got the fried chicken with veggies, fries, salad, and a roll. Honey got the Big Daddy Burger. His exclamation was that this was one of the best burgers he's ever had. If I tell you that burgers are like food group of their own to us then you know it's a good recommendation!
I have to concur that the 1 bite I got was pretty darn terrific. It had that charbroiled taste that I love that's often missing from a good burger.
My chicken was also crunchy, hot, and exactly the homestyle fried chicken I've been searching for!
So, if you're one of the 5 people in Longmont who haven't made it to Aunt Alice's I'd say check it out! The food is grandma's kitchen kind of fare the staff is attentive and there's a variety of choices for a very reasonable price. Oh yeah and...pie. Tuesday & Saturday after 4 you can get a FREE slice of cream pie with a meal. We split a piece of chocolate and a piece of coconut. Both delicious.
They have other varieties for you to try too but who can resist free??
They have a senior menu and open at 5am.
If you want to throw your health and wellness concerns in to the wind there's a 96oz Big Daddy Burrito challenge. If you can eat it in an hour, it's free. We saw one guy try...he only got 15 minutes in and called it.
