" I’ve visited this restaurant multiple times, and each experience has been very different! On my last visit, the food was delightful. I enjoyed the BBQ Chicken Baker which was packed with flavors. It's a sizeable dish that can easily feed two people! However, the service was lacking that night, as it took a long time for my order to be taken and then even longer for the food to arrive. Another time, though, the staff was extraordinarily courteous and attentive. So, I’d say it’s hit or miss regarding service. Regardless, I truly love their authenticity and delicious offerings, which is why I’ll keep coming back! " (*Curated Review*)

" As a frequent diner at Al's, I have seen the ups and downs of this place. The food has always been a highlight, and their Mediterranean dishes are authentic and flavorful. The grilled shrimp is a standout, especially when added to their humongous baked potatoes. Unfortunately, service can be hit or miss, often depending on how busy the restaurant is. When crowded, the staff can seem rushed, leading to longer wait times. Despite that, I always leave satisfied and happy to have enjoyed such delicious food. " (*Curated Review*)

" Al's has always been a key stop for us during our trips to Birmingham. The chicken wings are fantastic and always cooked to perfection. However, during my last visit, I was disappointed in both the service and the cleanliness of the place, which was surprising since it’s usually well-kept. The food still holds true to its authenticity, but if the service doesn't improve, I might reconsider my frequency of visits in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow, Al's Deli is a food lover’s paradise! Even though the place is small and not particularly fancy, the flavors are out of this world! The bakers were overall fantastic; I had the BBQ chicken Baker, which was delectable! The portions are truly large, often enough for two. Service, unfortunately, did need some improvement – I had to wait longer for service than I'm comfortable with. Still, I really appreciated the experience overall and will be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a hidden gem! This deli offers some of the best Mediterranean food I've had outside of a big city. My personal favorite is the chicken shish tawook – so flavorful! Portion sizes are generous, and the outdoor seating is lovely during the evenings. The only downfall was the service; my friends and I sat for a while before anyone came to take our orders. If you have time to spare for a delicious meal, this is the spot for you – just don't expect fast service! " (*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*)
