In the world of Italian beef sandwiches, I am sorry to say that Al's is not the winner...my favourite is still Portillo's....which wins in overall taste, quality, speed and value.
I went there for lunch with my dad after shopping the nearby Home Depot....there was not a soul in there...and overall, must say that my sandwich was nothing but a greasy mess where I wish my mouth had been double in size to wrestle with this monster...and the fries were nothing to rave about either...
