Ate here for the first time tonight. I have to say, I was a HUGE fan of Harold's Hamburgers which occupied this building before Alpha Bravo, so a piece of me remained loyal to that establishment (and its best fries in the world) as I walked through the door into the remodeled space.
The new setup is nice - small and cozy. Beer garden seemed cool, too. We started out with an order of onion rings which were very good if a little greasy. The onions appeared to be big thick slabs of red onion. Two of our party are not normally onion ring fans, and even they enjoyed them. I had a chicken Caesar wrap which was very tasty with lots of variety in flavors, though the wrap it self seemed a little dry. My son had a tenderloin which usually in these parts means a thin, frisbee-shaped deep fried patty that is 3 times larger than the bun. This one was a little different - irregularly shaped, thick and batter fried. It came with 1,000 Island dressing, tomato, lettuce and a bunch of chopped onion (my son thought a little too many) but other than that he said it was very good. Others in our party had a burger (again - a comment about the plethora of onion pieces on it) and an order of chicken wings. Aside from the onion comment, everything was well received and happily consumed! I do still mourn Harold's fries. The crinkle fries that came with the sandwiches were tasty and crispy enough, but they weren't a patch on the ones that came before.
I think Alpha Bravo is a good place to eat and we will definitely go back. I also think they could do with ironing out a few details. We were given a greasy basket of onion rings to share, but no plates (we had to ask for them.) I could really have done with some silverware to eat my wrap with, and my son could have done with a knife to cut his big tenderloin sandwich in half, but these were never offered. Drinks were kept refilled without asking, but my iced tea came with too little ice to begin with, and that quickly melted leaving just, well, tea. Still, these are small things. The quality of the food and the variety of the menu as well as the friendly, prompt service and nice atmosphere will bring us back here again, I'm sure. -

We love Alpha Bravo. They always have drink deals. Buckets, specialty drinks, you name it. Food is quick to the table and good. Burgers, wings, etc. it's all good and cheap!

For the most part, the food is good & inexpensive. It is a small bar/restaurant but much more of a bar atmosphere than a restaurant. Service is good and pretty quick. One of the days we were there, (a Tuesday), they had $1 margaritas. Pretty good size for the price, but it tasted like straight lemon juice. They also had 45¢ wings, which were good. I don't care for the onion rings at all. Way too much breading and it didn't taste good either. The fried pickles are really good, and the pickle slices are HUGE. Also, there are 3 entrances to the building, so no matter where you sit, you will be by a door. Don't bother taking your coat off if it's cold outside. All in all though, a good place to eat. You get full for the money, and it's obvious they are big supporters of our military, which I greatly appreciate. It would be nice if they could expand the restaurant to fit more people.

Came here for dinner with a friend. I got a pulled pork sandwich and he got a burger. We both thought the meat tasted frozen/store bought, but I thought the spicy BBQ was good and he liked the burger toppings. Beer selection was the typical Miller/Bud fair, but they did have 312 on tap. Prices were average. I ordered the "potato slices", which turned out to just be chips; that was a weird bait and switch, but the waitress did offer to exchange them for fries.
