A simple no frills type place that served up a great burger and cronut!
After yelping around my area for "hamburgers" I saw this place and figured we'd give it a try for the burgers.
Located in a newer strip center of N. Las Vegas, on a Saturday at 6pm I was expecting several people to be in this establishment however, there was only 4 people! Not a good sign by visual judgement and quickly adding the very plain brown and cream colored walls with basic table tops and some goofy couch nested in the back I was quickly wondering if Al's was gonna live up to its reputation.
This is a typical walk up and order type cafe. There is a desert display as you walk in that hosts all the Donuts and Cronuts available and while I was there at 6pm I certainly was not expecting to see pastries but there was a few and all still looking fresh even knowing they were from the AM.
I ordered the Texas burger and gf ordered the Buffallo Bill burger. Fries were extra. We were offered to add toppings as the cashier did a great job explaining the burgers and pastries. She actually talked us in to a couple cronuts so I ordered the Chocolate covered bavarian cream filled with nut toppings and gf ordered Maple covered bavarian cream filled with bacon toppings!
A standard soda fountain is offered for drinks as well as coffee and tea is offered.
We sat down and about 5 minutes later the cronuts were brought to the table followed in another 5 by the burgers and fries.
We were quickly surprised at how good the burger appeared and the basket of large cut fries. Biting into my burger was very tasty and followed the Texas burger description. Overall both our burgers were very pleasing and straight up, not greasy, or dry. A simple burger you think to yourself, I can make this at home but they never seem to come out just right.
Cronuts were both very tasty as well although I felt the Maple was better than the Chocolate in regards to the bavarian cream tasted more fresh but they were both good!
In conclusion I will easily return here for a simple burger and pastry. Remember the cafe decor is minimal and nothing at all to flock over so be ready for that, enjoy the food.
