WHO KNEW ICE CREAM AND MONKEY WOULD BE IN THE SAME SENTENCE,

without talking about Ben and Jerry's Chunky Monkey. I took the man clan to a cute little burger joint for some ice cream and to meet it's resident monkey, Elvis. Elvis is a family pet that hangs out at the restaurant during the day. He has a zip-line, rings, a hanging car and toys that makes for a super cute monkey playground. He was sleepy when we were there and I thought the boys might be disappointed in not seeing cute monkey shenanigans; but they weren't. There were a lot of giggles and ahh's as Elvis ate snacks from his snack tube and kept snuggling up with his blanket.
Malts, Sundaes, Monkey - this cracked me up!
You will find Alf's on the corner of Baker and Clairmont in McMinnville. It is a small diner with indoor and outdoor seating. It is decorated old school in black, white and red with a lot of fun retro tchotchkes and monkey paraphernalia.
I've heard mixed reviews on food and service, but when we were there service was very friendly and my man clan devoured the homemade ice cream. They want to go back and try the burgers and fries.
