TL/DR version - not worth the effort - Al's does not live up to the hype. Not bad, but no better than average. I have a much better experience at lower cost diners down in Pittsboro or up in Mebane.
Al's Burger Shack was fine, but just fine. I could get the same burger pretty much anywhere for a lower price and free sides like French fries.
Atmosphere? Overly loud country music, 3 booths and one small table jammed together. Parking was OK.
Maybe...

The Classic burger and the Bobo chili cheese burger were very tasty. The sweet potato fries and crinkly fries were crispy with just enough salt on them. The only issue is the lack of seating both indoors and outdoors. The indoor wall decor is interesting with many different number plates

Good experience across the board. This is a fast casual dining experience. Fresh tasting burgers and a very simple menu. I appreciated the local items on the menu and the ability to eat inside or outdoors in their covered patio. Not the best or most unique burger experience I’ve ever had but a solid option if you’re in the area or craving a classic.
