I have been going to Al's for the last 8 years. I always get the same breakfast, so when I walk in, the only thing they need to know is if it is for there or to go. All of the staff, including the kitchen, are super friendly and the food is great. You will not find another place in the area that is that good and budget friendly at the same time.

Staff was friendly and attentive. This is an old school diner. The inside is dated but clean. My breakfast of corn beef hash with poached eggs and home fries was average. My husband's omelet looked much better. I'll go again and try something else.

The best breakfast place around hands down. I have tried a lot of others in the area (when Al's is closed) and have yet to find another place that is as good. The food is great, they definitely try to seat people quickly and get food out fast. The prices are completely reasonable. You should know that it is CASH ONLY, and I did not see an ATM in the building, although I could have missed it. Home fries are awesome if you get them well done. Only issue I have is that I think they switched their bacon supplier and the bacon is now as thin as a piece of paper. It's still good, but really thin. Highly recommend, and the owner Kelly is really friendly and nice.
