    My husband and I decided to eat at this place so we could try some of the tacos we hear the locals talk about. We went on Taco Tuesday. I got three different tacos, a black bean salsa taco, a fish taco and a shrimp taco. I liked all of them, however the cilantro/lime sauce that was on the shrimp taco was neither very cilantroey nor limey......maybe I'm just used to the cilantro lime sauce that I make when I make fish tacos at home. The fish taco had a huge piece of fish on it and the other two tacos that I had had ample fillings too. My husband was not as lucky. My husband got a beef taco, a shawarma taco and a Russian taco. When I asked him how he liked his tacos he couldn't really say as there wasn't enough filling in any of them (other than the beef) to tell what they were. When we reread the menu to see what the ingredients were in each taco his response was "I guess maybe that's what I was tasting". I'm glad the tacos were only 2 and 3 bucks each. I would hate to spend a bunch of money for something that you couldn't even tell what it was. I guess we really prefer the sandwiches that the Alibi offers......we really love the Mr. Cranberry Chutney.....it's awesome.......just got one last night! And their beer battered fries are fantastic!

    The new cook has ruined the food. Use to be great food, same menu but the food I use to order taste bland and not at all what it use to be. It's over priced but I was willing to pay in the past cause the food was excellent, different and unique. Now this new woman cook ruined it. I won't be back till she's gone.

    Great food. Wide variety of Mexican, Italian, and Americana.  Kind of cozy and loud inside, but a large beautiful enclosed patio adds just the right touch of outdoor peace and quiet to make it a nice dining experience.  Service was top quality.  Try the potato cheese balls!  Amazing!  Good value for the money. $$
    Inside, the bar is the central focus.  Recommend for 21+.  Not really a family dining experience.

    Stopped by the alibi today and first off there aren't many restaurants in this area I should start by saying and I haven't found any that actually make a good mixed drink it's nice to be able to find local mi beers but I when I get a hankering for a mixed drink that's what I want and the drinks were great the service was good and the burgers were awesome we will definitely be stopped by again before we leave here
