" Sadly, my latest experience at Al's was disappointing. After hearing rave reviews from friends, I was excited to try their infamous gyro. Unfortunately, it didn't live up to expectations. The pita bread was dry, and the meat lacked flavor, making it less authentic than I had hoped. Sadly, the service was also slower than it should be. I don’t think I’ll be coming back anytime soon after this visit, but I'll keep an open mind for future recommendations. " (*Curated Review*)

" Al's Deli & Grill has been around for years, and I can see why! The baked potato with grilled beef was incredible! A single portion is substantial enough for two people. My only complaint is the lack of cleanliness in the restroom during my visit. However, the food more than made up for it. I love the authenticity of their cuisine – you can taste the fresh ingredients. I will definitely return to try the seafood options next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" Al's Deli & Grill has long been one of my favorites. The food is plentiful and very good! I enjoy their Mediterranean dishes, which are always prepared well and filled with flavors. The portions are generous, and I often leave with leftovers for another meal. The only downside is the ambiance; it gets quite busy, and the noise levels can rise significantly during peak hours. Still, I regularly find myself returning due to the quality and authenticity of the food. " (*Curated Review*)

" Al's is definitely a staple of Birmingham. I pride myself on knowing good food, and family-style cooking is their specialty! I tried the mixed grill, and it was excellent and very filling. The flavors were on point and kind of reminded me of home. However, the service needs a little work; I was often left waiting for my order longer than expected, which was quite frustrating. Still, I would recommend Al's to anyone looking for some authentic cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" The pita bread at Al's was delicious, and the fillings were generous. I appreciated the fresh veggies that were included with my meal. The atmosphere feels very casual, making it a perfect spot for a quick lunch. That being said, the service left something to be desired – I had to wait quite a bit for my food to arrive, which was frustrating during a busy lunch hour. But the quality of the food makes this place a worthy choice for hungry diners close to the university. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're near UAB, Al's is a great choice for a quick meal. I often grab their stylized salads, which are tasty and come in huge portions. The hummus is also a must-try. My only complaint is that sometimes the wait for orders can be frustratingly long. However, I've found eating there during less busy hours helps avoid that. The staff is generally friendly, even if service isn't always the fastest. Overall, the quality of food is constant enough to make this place a repeat visit for me. " (*Curated Review*)

" Al's Deli & Grill has been my go-to spot for a late-night meal whenever I’m in Birmingham. The loaded baked potatoes are monstrous and filled to the brim with all the goodies you could wish for. I particularly love their grilled chicken option – absolutely delicious! However, sometimes the staff seems overwhelmed, and I’ve experienced longer wait times than I’d like. Still, the food quality keeps me coming back for more. It's a casual place, perfect for grabbing a bite with friends. " (*Curated Review*)
