🚨 HOLD UP, HUNGRY PEOPLE! 🚨

If your day needs a little fixing, Grandma Olson has the cure. ❤️

Today’s special is the one that brings All y’all to the yard 🔥

🍽️ GRANDMA OLSON’S MEATLOAF
Served with creamy mashed potatoes, rich tomato gravy, fried cabbage, and a fresh yeast roll.

Now listen…

This isn’t some skinny little loaf that came out of a freezer and met a microwave. This is old-school, made-with-love, feed-the-whole-family meatloaf.

The kind that reminds you of sitting at Grandma’s table where you had to wear a shirt, say your prayers, and eat your vegetables before asking for dessert.
Who am I kidding? We got dessert anyway.

And that fried cabbage? Lord have mercy. It’s worth the trip all by itself.

❤️ Meatloaf
🥔 Mashed Potatoes
🍅 Tomato Gravy
🥬 Fried Cabbage
🍞 Fresh Yeast Roll

It includes your beverage choice for $13.99

Ready at 11:00 AM until we sell out!

Because some days a salad isn’t the answer. Grandma’s meatloaf is.

You’ll know where to find us on Thursdays🎶

Summer is here and you know what that means… SAVE THE LOCALS … every Thursday evening in June and July we’re getting down at the historic bandshell in Menard Park on 27th and Seawall from 6-9. It’s free, friendly to all and features the best bands in the land. Bring your kids, friends, neighbors, blankets, coolers and lawn chairs and enjoy the summer with us.

A few weeks ago, I stood in The Alley and looked around at all of you.

For just a moment, I remember thinking life couldn’t get any better🙏

The yard was full.
The tables were full.
The dining room was packed
People were lined up to the street.
The music was playing.
Friends were laughing.
And I was so overwhelmed by God’s goodness that I could hardly breathe.

Some of you were there.

You hugged my neck.
You held my hand.
You listened to me thank the Lord over and over again.

I’ll never forget the first night I saw The Alley lit up after dark. My knees literally buckled. Thank you for being there for me. It’s always going to be the little things🤗

For six weeks, we took a chance together, and y’all helped build something beautiful.

Now we’ve learned something important:

Galveston summer showed up like a menopausal redhead. Lord Jesus, it’s hot.

So effective immediately, we’re returning to our original summer schedule:

🩷 Monday: 8 AM – 8 PM
🎶 Tone Salinas Singer-Songwriter Jam every Monday evening

Monday will be our only day that we are open from 8 AM to 8 PM going forward

☕ Tuesday through Sunday: 8 AM – 2 PM

The Alley isn’t closing.

The Alley isn’t failing.

The Alley isn’t going anywhere.

She’s still taking shape, but she’s here to stay.

This corner is my life. It’s my love. It’s my comfort. It’s my peace. It’s my ministry.

People have asked me for sixteen years if I own this place. I always smile, shake their hand, and tell them:

“It belongs to Jesus. He just gave me the keys.”

I still feel exactly the same way today.

Because of you.

Because you’ve shown up.
Because you’ve believed in us.
Because you’ve loved us through every crazy idea, every new project, every leap of faith, and every dream.
I’ve already reached out to all of the Artist and we are moving forward on schedules for in the fall. They actually all knew before you. I’ve made some really great friends out of the artist and musicians that I’ve been introduced to my life has become richer because of all of you.

We’ll still be serving outside in The Alley.
We’ll still be booking private parties, special events, and catering.
We’ll still gather on Monday nights with Tone Salinas and friends.

And while we’re pulling back for the summer, we’re not slowing down.

We’re finishing furniture.
We’re refining the menu.
We’re gathering information.
We’re preparing for the next season.

And y’all…

You can bet your boots that fall in The Alley is going to be incredible.

The best chapters haven’t been written yet.

We’re just turning the page.

Love y’all,

Kat ❤️

WHO MADE THIS? 🦪🐱❤️

A sweet lady named Dana brought us a collection of oyster shells, and tucked among them was this absolute treasure.

Look at this beautiful ShyKatZ kitty painted inside an oyster shell! The colors, the details, the personality—it couldn’t be more perfect.

Dana, if you’re out there, please raise your hand. We’d love to thank you properly and tell you how much this means to us. Acts of kindness like this are what make our little corner of Galveston so special.

Thank you for thinking of us. This little shell has already made us smile. 🐾

Do y’all know a Dana who creates artwork like this? Tag her below!
