“ It was great and very comfortable. Food was excellent and waiter (Katie) was pleasant and attentive. I loved it. It was my first time —ILL BE BACK— ”
“ I've been waiting to go to this place for a while. The line is always so long to get in. It lived up to the rep. Good food, fast. The service was great too ”
“ Great classic diner food. Highly recommended. We will definitely return. Wish I took a picture of the sausage gravy and biscuits. ”
“ Big Al's is always my favorite breakfast place. I've been coming here for as long as I can remember. The food is always hot and fresh and I've never had a bad experience here. I remember when I went to Life skills down the street. I would always stop here for the homefries with onions and pepper and a side of bacon. I've tried other things on the menu like the potato pancakes, but nothing compares to my fav. The #1 or #2 which is eggs, homefries, with sausage/bacon. Doesn't matter which one I get because I always get a side of the breakfast meat that doesn't come with it. The procedure has always been reasonable even though I remember when it was once 5. It's now 9.75 but even if it went up to 20 I'd still get it. ”
“ I can't believe how long I've lived up here and haven't ever eaten here! My husband and I had breakfast here for our 22nd anniversary and it was so good. I had the corned beef hash omelette and he had french toast. The portion sizes are huge. You definitely get your money's worth. Our server was very attentive to our needs and checked on us frequently. I'm sorry I can't remember your name, but thank you so much! This is another place on my list of restaurants where I'm going to try the whole menu. ”
“ Highly recommend. Small place but wonderful food. We had breakfast, big portions. Great coffee. And wondering service. ”
“ This diner here is a hit for sure. It is an old hole in the wall type of place. You can see the history in the building. On the smaller end when it comes to space but the wait wasn't too long. The staff as a whole was wonderful from start to finish. Our server was super, and forgive me for not remembering your name, sweetness. The food came in a timely fashion. Everything was how we ordered, fresh and hot. Anytime I'm here, I am stopping by. Great job to everyone for making this a fabulous first visit. ”
“ Big Al's was amazing. Rebecca was our server and she was phenomenal even with the place being packed. The food was outstanding & we had an awesome time. Can't wait to go back! Highly recommend the pecan pancakes and the steak, cheese & onion omelet. Everything came out hot and delicious! ”
