" I've been to Al's multiple times now and each time it has been delightful. The portions are generous, particularly for the price. I highly recommend the classic American Pancakes; served with a side of crispy bacon, they’re unbeatable! The servers have been incredibly sweet and well-paced. I usually have to wait a bit for my food, but I’ve never been bothered because they’re attentive to my coffee refills! " (*Curated Review*)

" I must say, Al's Diner is a true gem! The eggs benedict was amazing, perfectly executed with a rich, flavorful hollandaise sauce. The service was exceptional; my server went above and beyond, ensuring everything was perfect. They even offered great suggestions from the menu! My only criticism is that the parking can be a hassle during busy times, but finding that breakfast there is worth any inconvenience. Excellent dining experience overall! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had the pleasure of trying Al's Diner for the first time last weekend. The ambiance was lively yet welcoming, reminiscent of the classic diners of years past. I ordered their famous Montreal Benedict, and it was simply exquisite. The poached eggs were perfect, and the hollandaise sauce was velvety smooth. My server, Sarah, was attentive and friendly, making my experience even better. A place I'd definitely recommend to anyone seeking a hearty breakfast! " (*Curated Review*)

" Breakfast at Al's was fantastic! They served up hot, delicious food promptly, and our server was super friendly. I especially loved their homemade chili on toast! It was unique and packed with flavor. Can't say enough about the staff, though. They were accommodating when we changed our table request. Definitely going back to try their lunch menu soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visiting Al's Diner was an enjoyable experience overall. The food tasted authentic, especially the pancakes that had that homemade feel. The staff were delightful and made sure our coffee cups were never empty. However, while I loved the food, the place was a bit cramped during peak hours, making it slightly uncomfortable. But for the food and service, I'd happily go back. " (*Curated Review*)

" Al's Diner has become one of my go-to spots for breakfast! They serve a fantastic trucker breakfast loaded with all the traditional sides. What sets them apart is their breakfast sausage, which is hands down the best I've had! The service is consistently friendly, and they’re always buzzing with good energy. I recently observed that they have a great selection of daily specials too. I can’t wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a not-so-great experience today. The service was very slow, and my order seemed to get forgotten in the mix. Despite that, when my breakfast eventually arrived it was well-prepared, albeit lukewarm. I understand it happens, but it left me a bit frustrated. I enjoyed the food, but I might think twice before returning. " (*Curated Review*)
