Alf's - Ice Cream, Burgers, and Monkey

Because of Covid and Elvis the Monkey's advanced age, he no longer hangs out in the restaurant.

Alf's Burgers and Ice Cream

Oh, and one of our very favorite places to take friends from out-of-town is Alf's Burgers and Ice Cream in McMinville, Oregon. While eating, three monkeys can be seen behind glass playing, making faces, or spitting out chewed food and smashing it against the glass only to suck it back into their mouths. The cage is kept clean and the monkeys wear diapers and pants.
