AL'S PLACE Restaurant

North of Lake Wales on Florida 17 lies an old Florida Roadhouse called Al's Place. Since Ruby likes Chili dogs and we were in the area, we stopped in. It doesn't look like much from the outside, and the inside is decorated with historic front pages of famous events. A group of regulars were at the unique elephant table. Ruby had a regular chili dog, I had a slaw dog and a sauerkraut dog. We shared an order of onion rings. I had 2 mugs of draft beer, and Ruby had ice tea. The food was good, but a hint, the sauerkraut is cold on the hot dog. They will heat it upon request. There's a stage in the backyard where they have live music. Saturday is bargain day with reduced prices. Carrie, our waitress, was very friendly and efficient.

Whenever you are looking to kick the chain restaurants to the curb and try a terrific local mom and pop place, this is it. Being from the Midwest, we had to try to fried pork tenderloin. It did not disappoint. This thing was huge. I had to fold it in half and it was still twice the size of the bun. Their homemade slaw was delicious too. Our daughter just had a side of fries. I had to try one and they were very crunchy and delicious. The wife decided to go with the onion rings. After being blown away by the tenderloin, I was a little disappointed in the onion rings. The hospitality was as to be expected in a small town diner. Everyone at the bar greeted us on the way in, and on the way out. Brenda took care of us and always made sure our drinks were full. The unsweetened tea was perfect to

Very cute little bar and eat area. The people in there were very kind and polite this was my first time hear and I am curious to go back and see what is on nexted weeks special. On Saturday they have a special chili dog and fries. We met some beautiful kind people the server was Sandy and she was good very attentive.

Seat yourself dining. If you're looking for the best chicken wings then this is definitely the place to go! The staff was very friendly and welcoming to us newcomers and the chef is absolutely amazing. She's a fantastic cook and these pictures won't do them justice but I hope you enjoy anyway! Worth a trip over there if you're in the area ☺️

Had to stop in and check out their breaded pork tenderloin sandwich. Marilyn and I both got one and it was pretty good. This comes with french fries but we also got some onion rings and some coleslaw. You just have to be aware this is cash only no credit cards. The waitress was really nice and took good care of us.
