Bland.
I'm from Chicago but I never went to Al's. I preferred Dengeos, Hubs or the more no-name places. A few years after leaving Chicago I saw a Man vs Food segment on this place and it just made me roll my eyes. The "chicago stance" to eat it and the drooling just made me laugh. Like this. Ha. Haha. Hahaha what bozos.
But still, my curiosity was now there so when I realized Vegas had an Al's then I went for a dip. I had a regular dipped and got cheese fries for $12. Ugh. It wasn't "bad" but it wasnt great either. It was... bland. And for this price then I wont be back.
