We had a great time at Alvin and Friends. The service was amazing and Alvin himself was walking around greeting guests. It was really welcoming and I liked all the paintings. They had a live trio with piano, drums and saxophone which was fun. The food was delicious. I appreciated the vegan section of the menu and the rest of my group enjoyed the salmon, jambalaya, and corn chowder. We also tried the lemonade, sangria, and famous rum punch. The desserts looked so delicious - next time! Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $50–100 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes Cornbread

I tried the slow cooked oaxtails with rice and peas. All I can say is wow. This has to be the by far the best oaxtails I ever had. The rice and peas was very flavorful. The cabbage was good. I also tried the vegan jerk chicken meal. Wow. The owner Alvin came over and spoke with me. He’s a very nice guy. He definitely wants to get to know his customers. I definitely will recommend this restaurant to friends and family. This is a nice after work spot. They also have a live band on Sunday afternoons.

I was here for a private event that was more about the gathering of the people than the food. For this reason, I wanted something light. The food is good and the people including the staff and owners are such a great vibe! You immediately feel like you are amongst friends who could be your family. 🤩 Great place that has a vegan menu larger than seen at many restaurants not specializing in it. I had the jerk artichoke dip. It was good. However, it seemed a little shy of the jerk flavor I was hoping for. I suppose they don't want it to be too strong for those not used to the intense Caribbean heat of such spices. I would love to see them have optional strengths like mild, medium, or hot. 👀 Well worth a visit not only for the food, vibe, people and location-there's more... The restaurant is adorned with the grabbing artwork of it's owner, Alvin Clayton. It's the kind of art that makes you want to know who's in it and what they are doing. For me, I love to answer these questions myself. I craft stories to suit what I see from my perspective and then spend hours, sometimes days wondering if my version is any where near the true inspiration of the work. Alvin's creations I hear are getting around and was seen in "The Best Man-Holiday" movie. Just go and have some food and well as a conversation with Al and his wife Gwen who are warm and friendly hosts.

Always a vibe. Great service too. Food is great, esp Oxtail, Mac and cheese. Alvin's is 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Update. 2022 The oxtail is not the same anymore. Tastes much sweeter than I'd like. Still a good grown vibe and environment, but the food is not rocking the boat much. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $30–50 Food: 3 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4

Black owned and operated with a stellar vibe. We settled in to the cozy setting after a short walk from the garage. There was a set up of a band and a black piano to the right as we walked in. We had a reservations so we were seated quickly. Once seated it was easy to admire the black art on the wall that was actually painted by the owner… how neat is that! Our first encounter we were greeted with corn bread squares that were moist and sweet. As we nibbled we were all so impressed by the tablets that served as menus. Our appetizers consisted of mango wings ( a little spicy), calamari (crispy) and codfish fritters were just tasty bites! The drinks of choice was Jamaican rum punch which gave a very nice kick. The other drink Alvin’s punch was not the favorite for our group. The after taste wasn’t appealing. The Restaurant Owner/Artist came by and introduced himself giving our experience a personalized touch. All of the food was great! The collards were a lil spicy for us but it kept your tastes buds woke. I definitely would go again the ambiance was outstanding!

First off, it was great to go to a venue where the atmosphere was inviting from the beginning. Since it is New Rochelle, you will be paying for parking but the New Roc area is still a must. But the focus is on this establishment with its decor including fine wood placement that gives it that cool vibe. The art work throughout and the room we were able to have our event was spacious and inviting. Everything on the menu was great as our guests had a great time. The rum punch and the hopper are necessary drinks to order. Oxtails..excellent! Ribs fell off the bone, the salmon was cooked to perfection and the Fried chicken will make you feel like you are never going to a fast food place again. If you are in the Westchester area, go to Alvin & Friends!
Another spectacular meal at Alvin & Friends. A lovely atmosphere was to be had this Valentine's Day with live music on the piano, nice furnishings, and even nicer company. The artwork is really something else and is lovely to behold on the walls. The staff is warm, welcoming, and attentive. The food will blow you away and in my times coming here has never failed to satisfy. If you want one of the best dining experiences in New Rochelle come to Alvin & Friends!

Alvin & Friend is a nice, warm and cozy place. The ambience and decors are amazing (The wall arts are painted by the owner himself - Or so I heard). The staff is extremely friendly and welcoming. The location is superb and there is (paid) parking literally right out front. They offer indoors and outdoor dining. Not sure whether that's typical, but I went on a Saturday and they had a live band playing. The food is good. Feels like a mix between Cajun and Soul food. The only areas where I wish for improvement are the food seasoning (I was missing that kick that one usually gets from eating Cajun food) and the price of food (definitely on the pricey side). Overall, I and a great time at Alvin & Friend and definitely felt like I was a long time Friend!
So went for brunch, the Atmosphere is inviting and workers were extremely friendly. Alvin was so nice walking around asking how we were doing. As for the food, it took quite long to come and for the price I expect a little better quality of food and presentation. The grits were grainy and usually shrimps have a nice gravy to mix with the grits. As you can see from photo it was very greasy and way to much peppers to cover up the 4 shrimps underneath. Someone ordered a breakfast burger and thought there would be a burger but it was a English muffins with ham and cheese.
