Good food, Strange atmosphere – The food was good and it came in very very big portions. One entre could easily feed 2+ people. The atmosphere was a little strange...it's in a basement with no cell service. Service was good, but with some wait time. Overall, not bad, you definately get your money's worth and more as far as the food goes, but not necesserily somewhere I would go back.
Wouldn't redeem my coupon- False Advertising – I had the WORST experience at Al's Charhouse. My husband and I had a coupon out of the Entertainment Book: Al's Char-House Inc. - Al's Char-House Coupon Detail "Enjoy one complimentary DINNER ENTREE when a second DINNER ENTREE of equal or greater value and TWO BEVERAGES minimum are purchased ." My husband and I each ordered a dinner entree and drinks so we could use our coupon. At the end of the meal, we gave our waitress the coupon and she came back with the bill, but there was... read more
Night out at Al's was a disaster – I empathize with the person below who used to work at Al's Charhouse. First of all, working for any chain restaurant is sure to make for a lousy experience. If you're a waiter, you are basically is server purgatory if you're working for a restaurant that serves food that is as bad as what they offer at Al's. Being a server probably requires a lot of patience and kindness- and the only thing that could possibly make such a profession worthwhile is to know that the food you're serving is good... read more
Al's- only an example of a larger problem – Mr. Campagnola, I commend you for the comments concerning the desire of many people today to have places in their neighborhood that they can be proud of and that make them feel like their communities are special and have businesses with good services and products to offer. i completely agree that places like Al's ,C margarita, Yau's, etc. all offer food that is dull and overdone and has no nutritive value. Butsir, you are not addressing the underlying causes which result in restaur... read more
addendum to last comment – McDonald's is well aware of a direct link between the consumption of fast food and heart disease, yet they ignore it. In our evolutionary history, fat reservoirs were not readily available in our environment, and the body stored fat to sustain the species when food was not easily accessible. Times are different today, we have lipids available in our food sources. We don't need to store all this excess fat that Americans are carrying around, which contributes to billions of dollars in lost productiv... read more
Great steaks and a friendly staff make for a nice night out. – I've been dining at Al's Char-House for some time now and need to disagree with the reviewer below me. My drink of choice is usually a Greygoose martini and I have to say that it has always tasted like Greygoose. If I don't get the salad I always get the Black Bean soup and it's always been thick and awesome. We're always satisfied with the steaks (that I can assure you have no MSG because I'm allergic to it and have been eating them for years!!) or ribs; whichev... read more
Quality declining – We had not been to Al's for over a year but in the last two weeks we had occasion to dine there twice. The quality of the food has gone down. The steaks we had were very poor quality and I suspect laced with MSG and tenderizer. Even the Black Bean soup which was one of the best in the area was watered down. I requested a martini made with a brand of gin I normally drink and I believe they substituted with a house gin but charged for the brand name. Our more recent visit was with a group of 15 people and I... read more
good prices, bad steaks – I had a terrible time with my boyfriend at Al's. Our server screwed up our order and brought out salads with the wrong dressing. We ignored it because we aren't fussy diners. But this place had terrible steaks that were nothing like the steaks you get at a nice steakhouse. They give good portions, but the quality of the steaks is terrible.
Great steaks, HUGE portions, Great prices. What else do you need? – For the last reviews that stated Al's has bad customer service and was not classy enough, I can understand that because the place is always busy and it looks kind of like a barn. However If you are looking for a classy place like Wildfire or Morton's, do not go to Al's. Al's is for the person that thinks $60 for a steak is way too expensive, and a meal should come with everything. This place has the best steaks north of Texas and the best drink specials arou... read more
