While working in the area Big Al's was strongly recommended to me and my coworkers. It is a very small diner. After entering you're not sure wether you seat yourself or be seated. We were directed by the waitress across the room to seat ourselves. This is your typical diner with a variety of comfort food menu items. I got the Reuben and fries, one coworker ordered an omelet, the other a fried fish sandwich. All of our meal portions were a decent size. I was very pleased with the taste of my sandwich. The coworker who ordered the fish was not, she said it was a tasteless minced fish fillet straight out the freezer. The omelette was a winner too, pretty large with fresh ingredients. The service was fairly fast but not the friendliest waitress. No drink refills and no checking up on our meals. My sandwich and fries came to around $9, not too bad for the amount of food. Would I come back, probably, is it one of my more memorable diner experiences, no. I'll probably try a breakfast item next time.
