Alexandria’s

When I first heard of this place I used to frequent twice a week at least for lunch. My favorite is the University with a side salad. The last couple times I’ve went the sandwich hasn’t been the same. I decided to try again today and its just like how it ised to be. They’ve canged the apples and bread and it isnt as good. Its just ok now. Im disappointed because I love a good sandwich. I got the soup today instead of the salad. The soup is really good. Tomatoe bisque. Service is always good. I just hate when you get used to something and you crave it and its changed. Its listed the same but just isn’t the same:(

We love this place. My favorite item on the menu is the Hamilton Street Salad. They have delicious chicken salad and pimento cheese!!! It is a family owned business and everyone is very friendly and calls the regular customers by name. Don’t miss out on an amazing lunch at Alexandria’s!

This is one great place to choose for lunch. I have been here many, many times and it’s always a pleasure. They have daily specials that you can’t go wrong with. I typically order the Hippie Chick or The University. Both of which are a great, filling lunch. Their house salad is also awesome! The prices aren’t bad, but the product is worth it. The staff and owner are all helpful and accommodating! If you’re looking for a spiffy bistro for lunch, Alexandria’s is your place!

Service was awful. Food was ok.

Cute little spot with delicious food. Thoroughly enjoyed my lunch and I’ll definitely be back. It’s small and easy to miss especially since the door states «Alexandra’s Bistro & Grill.» Despite the discrepancy in names, it is the Hamilton Street Bistro, and it has a great lunch menu if you like salads and sandwiches.

Nice little bistro. Happened to stop in after discovering the salad place (can’t remember the name) is no more and was pleasantly surprised. Although there is not much room my dining experience was not cramped. The music was a tad loud but, was turned down once most of the lunch crowd left. The restaurant was filled with smoke the entire time and now back at the office I can smell the kitchen in my clothes — this is a major turn-​off. I liked that our meals were served on real plates, the soup was in a real cup, and the cloth napkins. This is something some restaurants overlook and something I think is important when you serve real food. In contrast, the plastic drinking cups seemed out of place.
I ordered a Classic Caesers Salad with oven baked chicken on top. I did not expect the chicken to be cold and think this is something that should be remarked on the menu. Furthermore, the lettuce was not romaine as is typical for a Caesers but, I like the iceberg better. I don’t know if the dressing is home-​made but, it was perfect — I didn’t think I was eating undressed lettuce but, forgot it had dressing.
The best part was the tomato basil bisque soup! This soup was amazing — it will be hard to try anything new. I also like the open salt and pepper grinders (not fancy, but the pepper is really tasty). Lunch costs about 10.00 which is not expensive for locally prepared, freshly made, real food!
Definitely plan to go back soon!
