Best European cuisine. Must have is schnitzel. Also their shake is the best around Chicago area. Another favorite is their monthly specials. One of the best is Swedish meat balls.
Al's is an under-rated restaurant in Elgin. Though they have typical American cafe foods, the chef's speciality is Northern European. Be sure to come in the evening for Regional European specialties, that change on a monthly basis - German, French an Scandinavia dishes!
Prices are on par with the area, so higher than not. Still, the food was good and the antique decor was delightful.
