Al's Cafe

Restaurant

😠 Owner is an admitted bigot and kicks those of other sexual orientations out of his establishment. Would not recommend and will NEVER go back.

    If I could give 0 stars I would. Homophobic and bigoted owners. Like to throw out customers for their orientation and play victim when it gets put on blast. I haven't eaten their food but im sure its as salty and slimy as their personalities.

    Worst food I've ever had. Don't waste your time on this dive, you'll leave having wasted your money. Not to mention the owners are completely horrible people. Stay away from this place don't eat garbage food and don't give your money to garbage people.

    Best Cacoila sandwich in the city. And don't be afraid to try the cheeseburgers as well. Cold beer and good food. In a friendly, cozy atmosphere.

    The wifey and I were summer regulars when we used to live there. Since hearing they kicked out a customer for hugging his boyfriend outside the establishment, we will not return next summer.

    I've been going here for about 12 years! Always friendly staff and patrons easy to stirke up a conversation and feel welcome. Great sandwiches. Husband and wife owners that keep things under controll especially for a city bar. Always feel safe here.

    I had a blowout on my car and two of the guys from the bar came out and helped me no questions asked. It's nice to know there is still decent people in this world that are willing to help a stranger.

    A homey, old-world cafe that serves excellent pub food. Small interior lends a cozy atmosphere, and the owners are cheerful and genial. Worth a visit; places like this are vanishing at an astonishing rate.
