Alibi - Arcata

Love The **** Mary with the bacon...prawns and fries are delicious....

Good stiff drinks and a variety of dishes for all needs. Great place to take a casual bite on the Plaza when you are in Arcata.

If I could give a zero star rating I would. 1 We called to place a to go order and we?re put on hold for over 10 minutes, during which we could hear the wait staff talking about the customer on the phone and how they?d probably hung up already THEN never picked up the phone to check. The food is abysmal, 2 my medium rare stake was served overly well done. 3 The biscuits are under cooked. 4 The lettuce is brown. 5 The ranch is watered down and chunky. $60 for two extremely bad meals we couldn?t eat is unacceptable and depressing.

I pay attention to my intuition and my intuition said step into this place for some fish and chips, and boy was I correct! Beer-battered cod, plank fries, and an amazing dinner salad. My body was more than satisfied, good classic juke box with all the right tunes. Visit this historic gem for great food, great service, and wonderful Arcata, California atmosphere.

The restaurant next door is incredibly cozy, featuring comfortable chairs and tables. Our server was exceptionally friendly, even when dealing with some rude guests. We tried the po' boy sandwich and the chickafee sandwich, and both were absolutely fantastic—so delicious, it should almost be illegal! Alongside our sandwiches, we enjoyed a couple of drinks, opting for a mixed margarita that can be customized with strawberry, mango, or both flavors! As an appetizer, we ordered the bacon fries, which were outstanding! They came in a generous portion, perfect for sharing over a few beers or drinks. Overall, the service was fantastic, and the food was even better!
