If you throw the noodles at the fridge and they stick, that's when you know they're ready.In the Limelight: Spaghetti Alley
Where it’s at: 575 Mulberry Street Lane
What to do: Enjoy some fine Italian cuisine
As you’re walking down Second Street in downtown Macon, you may notice a little spot called Spaghetti Alley tucked away down Mulberry Street Lane. If you’ve only noticed it and haven’t eaten there yet, you ought to give it a whirl. It’s a small, casual and relatively quiet place with white paper tablecloths and crayons at every table, which is great if you have kids, or if you’re an easily amused adult...such as myself.
The lunch menu features a wide variety of pastas, as well as subs and salads. On Monday, you can choose from $5 lunch specials, including Chicken Alfredo and Chicken Pesto. Lunch specials run $6.95 the rest of the week.
The dinner menu is much larger and offers appetizers, entrees, and soup and salad. They also fire up the grill for the evening crowd and serve up steak, chicken and salmon. Mmmm.
Not only can your kids color on the table, but if they are ages 11 or under, they can eat for 99¢ on Tuesday. Even if it’s not Tuesday, you can probably still afford to bring them along to Spaghetti Alley, since every item on the kids’ menu is only $3.99.
I’ve eaten at Spaghetti Alley a few times and have never been disappointed. Service is quick, and they bring some wonderful bread and dipping oil to enjoy while you wait. I’ve had Chicken Alfredo and Blackened Shrimp Pesto, and both were delicious. You can also get a personal pizza, a new menu item, which, according to Patrick and Tyler, are very tasty.
So, let’s recap: Spaghetti Alley offers a pleasant atmosphere, great food at very reasonable prices, and for heaven’s sake, you get to color on the table. And you don't have to throw noodles at the fridge, because someone else is cooking for you. Need I say more?
