This place is a local institution for a reason.

Delicious, simple burgers cooked to perfection, enjoyed on a patio overlooking the hustle and bustle of Franklin St.

As a vegetarian married to someone who's gluten free, it's rare we both like the same burger place. Yet, you can find us here at least once a month, splitting fries with garlic aioli, and enjoying a burger as the world passes by.
We had a good experience at Al’s. The burger is served the way a burger should be served. I got the classic. Mine was a touch overcooked. I said medium and got something closer to ‘well’. However, the quality of the meat was enough to overcome that issue. The tots and sweet potato fries were both decent. There were plenty of people working behind the counter but I may argue that overall service was on the slower side. I got a shake right away but it took at least another...
Good food. I was able to have chicken instead of burger, which made me very happy. Good taste. French fries with the rosemary was a nice addition. Hubby had a burger and was happy. It was cooked well but not over done. Absolutely worth the trip.
