This is closer to a 3.5 star review, but my stomach was NOT happy with Al's Beef after the fact (no food poisoning or anything, it just didn't sit well with me), so I'm making it a 3 star.
Big Al's looks like an old-school diner, situated on Sahara, near Rainbow Blvd. You place your order at the counter. Making a decision can be a bit overwhelming, but luckily, they have clear descriptions of the different varieties of beef sandwiches.
I ordered a regular beef sandwich, wet, with sweet peppers and provolone cheese. I was very impressed that the bread didn't fall apart, but be warned- this isn't a neat meal! With a drink, it cost just over $10.
The beef wasn't as juicy or tender as I expected, and I really couldn't taste the cheese, but it was filling. The service was friendly, and the restaurant was clean.
I'm glad I checked Al's off my list of places to check out, but I won't be making a special effort to return... My poor tummy couldn't take it!
