Al's Airport Inn Bar & Grill

Al’s Airport Inn isn’t trying to be trendy — it doesn’t have to. It’s a classic Jersey dive bar, the kind that’s been around forever and earned every scuff on its bar top. The crowd’s a mix of regulars, airport workers, and locals who know exactly what’s up. Service is usually solid, depending on how packed it gets — but even when they’re slammed, the staff keeps it friendly and fast enough to make you stay for another round.

They’ll tell you their chicken wings have won awards, and honestly, they’re not lying. These things are spectacular — crispy skin, juicy inside, perfectly sauced. But the real gem of Al’s isn’t just the wings. It’s what they’re coated in: Al’s Secret Sauce.

It’s hard to pin down what’s in it — maybe garlic, maybe some tangy magic that doesn’t exist anywhere else. Whatever it is, it’s the kind of sauce that makes you want to dip everything in it. Luckily, you can — they’ll drizzle it on a pork roll and cheese sandwich, burgers, or anything you ask for. It’s the kind of flavor that deserves to be bottled and sold nationwide.

Al’s might be tucked next to a small airport, but the place soars. It’s old-school, unpretentious, and always worth the 20-minute drive — if not for the wings, then for that mysterious, addictive sauce that makes you believe in barroom magic.

Stopped to visit family and found this little gem. I had the fish tacos and will be craving them more for the rest of y life. My husband had the cheesesteak that he also enjoyed. Portions were good and service was terrific. Will definitely be back when we are in the area.

Got here early. Most of the tables had reserved signs on them
All seats are in the bar.
Place is very small.
Ordered a medium well burger but it was more like medium rare.
They started playing awful music and it was loud.
This was definitely a one and done

We went to Al’s tonight and had a wonderful experience! We ordered the chili nachos, cheesesteak tacos, and a turkey club with pork roll — everything was delicious. The Texas toast was a great touch, and the Old Bay fries with cheese were the perfect comfort food.

Jessica, the live musician, was one of the best we’ve heard here — truly talented and set a great vibe for the night. Bella, our waitress, was an absolute gem: friendly, quick, and gave great recommendations.

We love coming to Al’s — the food is always solid, the service is excellent, and we really appreciate their Teacher Tuesdays and the recognition they give to educators.

We’ll definitely keep coming back. Thank you, Bella!

The atmosphere is just what you'd expect this kind of bar to be. I'll go back for sure but I really didn't enjoy the shrimp po boy. They weren't whole fried shrimp but I think they were pieced together frankenshrimp. I didn't enjoy them, but I went there for a burger and should have gotten one. My companion who is gluten free loved her bunless burger. The service was excellent. Al's definitely deserves more visits!
