| - I was in town in Cleveland for work for a couple months and I ended staying around the corner from Big Al's. What good luck. It's not flashy, it's not fancy, it's not big, it's just a small diner. You walk in, sit where you want, one of ladies working there will come ask you if you want coffee and take your order. Even when it's packed the food comes out quick (unless you're in the group of 8 having Sunday brunch after church). They drop your check off when you order and when you're done, you just pay at the register.
It's not a place you come if you're on a diet. The biscuits with sausage gravy, 2 eggs, and home fries (aka #12) is simply amazing. The eggs, cooked to order, are buttery and perfect. The gravy is rich and sausagey, but not as heavy as expected. Tge biscuit are delicious in tgeir own right and a tasty vessel to sop up the runny egg yolks and gravy. Always go for the homefries if you have the option. The grits are a disappointment compared to the home fries. My only complaint is this place closes at 2:30.
Ps - when they ask if you want onion with your home fries, say yes!
