Big Al's Drive In is a popular stop for those passing through Chico, known for its tasty burgers and soft serve ice cream. The restaurant has a friendly atmosphere, with staff who appreciate a good sense of humor. The menu offers a variety of options, including the double burger basket and chicken tender basket, both of which are generous in portion size. Customers have praised the delicious chicken strips, fries, and corn dogs, making it a wallet-friendly gem. While some have noted that parking can be limited, there are usually spots available unless there is an event. The restaurant is also wheelchair accessible and kid-friendly. Although the furniture is getting old and the interior could use a renovation, the food is consistently good. Customers can expect great milkshakes and fried food, and while it may take a bit longer to get their order, it is worth the wait.
