Ted & Ali’s Corner Cafe

Okay I’m gonna say I was skeptical about this little place because I read all the reviews and they were all 5 stars, and I thought to myself it has to be one of those locals only diners where everyone’s just nice to eachother because they’ve known eachother for 20 years. God was I wrong.
First off, kudos for serving dinner items to me at 9am, I came in expecting breakfast, and I’m not a big breakfast kind of person so I was instantly happy to know I could order anything. Prices werent outrageous at all as we skimmed the menu.
I ordered a meat loaf meal that came with meatloaf, mashed potatoes, a buttered roll and a salad for only $ 6.50. The meat loaf was phenomenal. Perfectly cooked, full of flavor, and a hearty portion size. Same with the mashed potatoes, they werent instant fake potatoes, they were definitely home made, and there had to have been like 2 cups worth on my plate. Crazy generous for the price! My girlfriend had chicken noodle soup and potatoes and I tried a bite of hers and it tasted good.
The atmosphere is cool, lot of older folks eating and drinking coffee, nobody was rude and staring. Waitress was nice and did a good job.
The hours here kind of suck I just wish they stayed open later! This place would get a SIX star rating from me if possible if they were open ²⁴⁄₇. Recommended!

If you love amazing delicious food in large quantities, then this is the place to be. My daughter and I went twice in one week just for their outstanding waffles and bacon. The staff is very nice and make you feel at home. Seriously, order the waffles! DELISH!

Great place for breakfast, it feels like eating
With family & friends ! Wait staff friendly & attentive, the food comes out hot & fast.

Had the breakfast burrito’s and they were amazing. There pretty good sized and the salsa was delicious as well.

I love the old diner type places, they are few and far between now. Love the bacon, which is different than any I’ve had and I’ve had a lot of bacon. Great place to grab a bite to eat. To my surprise my wife ordered an Asian salad with shrimp and she loved it. I usually have sausage gravy, biscuits and eggs. My son loves the pancakes with a side of bacon. Always good and very reasonably priced.

Ample, tasty portions and quick service. Add in good prices, and you can easily see why it’s so crowded!

Nice basic place. The wait staff knows what to do and does it well. Breakfast was good. Tried the country fried steak and it was very good. Choice of cube or hash brown potatoes. Place was busy at 7 am.. I would come back.

My girlfriend and I eat here as much as we can and everything is fair priced and delicious. We’ve never had a bad meal or been treated as «outsiders» like that one guy whined about on his review. Honestly, I looked at his profile and he just hates his life. I mean, he reviewed a truck stop… Get over yourself, guy.

I absolutely love this place… My boyfriend and I frequent this restaurant and have yet to have a bad experience. The food is always hot and awesome and our coffee is always fresh. The staff is wonderful and always friendly. Not to mention very cheap!

Super cute diner, staff is super friendly & food is terrific! Service was great. A gem if a place.

Cute little corner diner in Shelby, Ohio. Caters to the breakfast and lunch crowd, as the place closes at 2 pm. It seemed we were the only «outsiders» in the place as everyone knew one another from the cook to the customers. Small town USA. Ya gotta love it. Wife got the taco salad and it was very good. I got a double cheeseburger and you could tell from the shape and varying thickness of the burgers, that these did not come out a processed box, but that the cook had made the patties by hand. Finally a REAL burger. One of the other sons got the pulled pork and he deemed it quite good. The other son got a Reuben, and it was also very good. The french fries were hot and crisp. The place was clean and so were the bathrooms.
If I were to make one suggestion, it would be to have the waitresses be a bit more attentive. I expect it was due to us being «outsiders», but one lady spent more time texting than anything else. The other two were busy carrying on a conversation amongst themselves. This sort of thing delayed us getting menus, and extended to delaying our food. What I mean is the food would sit at the cook’s counter. You could see it there, but no one would pick it up and hand it to us. I even had to get my own mustard bottle after asking for some twice. Other than that very good.

Great for breakfast all day till 2:00
