Al’s Bar & Grille

Wow! Walked in on Sunday morning at noon and walked out at 12:05! Here is what we walked into… duster and cleaning products on a table, server cutting fruit and rolling silverware at a table, no music, sat at bar where the bartender did not address us at all. Filled up a whole cup of water in front of us and did not even make eye contact. There were two people at the bar, a hello or I will be right with you would be nice. We wanted to venture out to a new Sunday spot. I guess we will stick with the best place up here Mac’s!!!

Came for Sunday game, at first service was great, one it got less busy, the staff disappeared, I had to go to the bar to get a drink and then I had a flag a waitress down to order food. Been here 3 times, 2 out of less were less than good. Boo Al’s. Also no paper towels or soap in ladies room.

In the months that this place has been open, we’ve dined there maybe 5 or 6 times. The food has always been good and service in general has been good.
Just got back from dinner and I had fish and chips. One of my favorites but for some reason, I’ve never ordered it here. I’ve had burgers, wraps, buffalo chicken sandwiches, wings etc and they have all been good.
The fish and chips was no exception. Two nice and flaky filllets which I topped with malt vinegar and they were delicous. The side salad that started out dinner was very good with an excellent Italian Dressing and Croutons. The fries were perfect and I was quite surprised with the cole slaw. I am not normally a fan of cole slaw in restaurants because it’s limp and dripping of cabbage juice and mayonnaise. Not this time. The cabbage was crisp and evidently not been sitting around since this morning getting soggier with each passing hour. Just the way I like it.
Only word of caution I would give is that this is a sports bar associated with the Buffalo Bills. If you’re not a Bills fan, don’t bother going at a time when the Bill’s are playing. You can’t get in the place and if you can, you won’t be able to carry on a conversation.

My last time here. We come here most Fridays since it reopened… it had good service in the beginning but now… not so much. Food is either too cold, having to send back each time. Over fried pickles and flat wine. The waitress disappears… we had enough… too bad.

It was ok. I though the winds were very hot even for mild and the chili was watery. the waitress was nice but other than that, not impressed. The place was super packed but that was to be expected. Just wish the food was better for that was the reason for our visit.

My wife ordered a French dip sandwich. The bun was very tasty but it did not have much meat in it. When we brought it to the attention of our server all we got was an apology. They did’t ask like many places, if she wanted some thing else or even comp her sandwich. Probably won’t be back anytime soom.

A cleaned up dressed up version of Big Al’s. Nice tavern style restaurant with a quality pub type menu. Plenty of TV’s for sporting events at the bar and outdoor seating with both smoking and non-​smoking sections.
My go to menu item is the honey habanero wings, sweet and spicy and awesome. Also had the burgers and French dip both very good.
I think the iced tea was from a fountain not brewed, it was awful, so I got a Labatts.
Cheers
