My boyfriend's family is from Chicago and coincidentally his name is also Al, short for Alex. We spotted this place yesterday coming back from shopping and put it on our to do list. It just so happened we had to drive near the area again earlier today and he wanted to stop in for a sandwich. We ordered the Big Al dipped, with both types of peppers. I took one bite and almost had to go order a drink! I can handle spicy but this jolted my taste buds into a frenzy. I enjoyed the decor inside and they have plenty of places to sit.
Major points for having Orange Crush in the soda fountain! The prices were also very customer friendly. We will be back again soon to try the rest of the menu.
