The good great, especially the fries. I like the crispness and the seasoning on it. I also liked the deluxe double cheeseburger which comes with fries. The service was realy good. I like how Big Al does names I stead of numbers.

The hamburger was $10 as I ordered a double burger and the girl said it was small so to upsize she didn't tell me it was almost $5 more it was not worth it at all it was terrible and my wife got the roast beef sandwich and a shake and it came to $25 overpriced and not worth it first time trying it

The patty melt & chili cheese dog was not good. I guess I should've gotten a burger. The peanut butter shake was good tho.

Great food and shakes! Or as my brother likes chocolate malt.

Rude inexperience manager insisted I was trying to pay with fake money. Did not make it right and did not apologise. Terrible service and greasy food, if it weren't for my kids favour I would never go.
Excellent burgers and shakes! Plenty of items on the menu to please the whole family. The shake options are vast and really good (probably the best around). It's a bit pricey but worth it, imo. The employees are nice and the dining area is clean.

Folks, please try to be nice to the Big Al's workers. It's hot back there and theyve never given me a shoddy burger or any service that would warrant rudeness.

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
Itâs unfortunate I have to leave a 3-star review (being from Chico, Iâve always enjoyed Big Alâs). But lately, it feels like Big Alâs is starting to slip.
For months now, the chocolate side of the soft-serve machineâincluding the swirlâhas been down. Thatâs a big disappointment since the swirl is what many of us go to Big Alâs for. Last time I asked about it, I was told it was âbeing fixed.â Fast forward a couple months, and I get the same excuseâonly this time the employee rolled their eyes and admitted they werenât even sure it would ever be fixed.
To make things worse, when I asked if it cost extra to dip vanilla in chocolate, I was told yes. I suggested it should be free (at least until the chocolate side is working again), but I got no response. That stung a bitâbecause offering a small gesture like that would show customers you value their experience while things are being worked on.
Big Alâs has always been a Chico classic, and Iâd love to keep supporting it. But pleaseâcan we get an honest update on whether the chocolate soft-serve/swirl is coming back? And in the meantime, maybe consider offering the chocolate dip at no extra charge to make up for it. Little things like that go a long way in keeping locals like me coming back.

It's a Chico legend. Everything you would expect from a drive in dinner.
