When I first visited Al's during their opening week, I was deliciously impressed because their Italian Beef was better thanthe one I had in Chicago. The taste popped in your mouth and the beef was tender fresh and delicious. Unfortunately a lot seems to have changed since then. The last time I went about a week ago I was very disappointed. The beef tasted old, bitter and had fat and gristle. The flavors were flat as if someone had forgotten to stir the pot and the Giordano peppers were limp, oily and flavorless. The best part of the meal was the fries and they were sub par. Very disappointing. What happened to the quality of food they once served? I wish the owners would come back and fix things.
