Customer Reviews
Service didn't take long, but the burger patties are pretty small, and the taste is just average. Better than McDonald's, but not by far... I prefer In-n-Out honestly. Cheaper and tastes better.
The good great, especially the fries. I like the crispness and the seasoning on it. I also liked the deluxe double cheeseburger which comes with fries. The service was realy good. I like how Big Al does names I stead of numbers.
SERIOUSLY IN NEED OF A DEEP CLEANING, INSIDE AND OUT. Inside is just all around gross. Door, floor, windows, walls, tables and seats... and flies... all gross. If this place was clean, I would go often. They old drive in style is very cute, especially for a quick, late date night desert on the tailgate of your boyfriends truck... ice-cream and fries while snuggling and looking at the stars. Chocolate dipped ice-cream cones are tasty, but NOT when they dump them UPSIDE DOWN in a cup, making all the chocolate stick to the cup.
Hey Big Al's, you can't ride on people's nostalgic memories forever. While the vintage vibe is cute, your kitchen and dining area are grimey and beyond repair, a full remodel is necessary for cleanliness. Came by and ordered a burger, where various upcharges were made without warning, and after paying $40 for 3 basic burger, 2 shakes, and 1 basket of fries, we found a bread bag clip in our burger ( including pic). The staff was somewhat rude from the start making us wonder if the mess-up was on purpose. The staff really seems to be lacking customer service training.
The food menu is old school dine in driver status. The burgers and the shakes are amazing! I had the patty melt was pretty bomb! The girls are super friendly and fastest service :-)
