Meatloaf

Meatloaf is a classic dish in American cuisine that has been enjoyed for generations. It is a savory and hearty dish made primarily from ground meat, usually a combination of beef and pork, mixed with various ingredients to enhance its flavor and texture. The meat is typically combined with breadcrumbs, eggs, and seasonings such as onions, garlic, salt, and pepper. Some recipes also include vegetables like carrots or bell peppers to add extra moisture and nutrition.


Once the ingredients are mixed thoroughly, the meatloaf is shaped into a loaf and then baked in the oven until it is cooked through and has a delicious golden-brown crust on the outside. Meatloaf is often served with a flavorful sauce or gravy, such as a tomato-based sauce, to complement its taste.

The Hobo Sandwich

The star of this culinary masterpiece is the tender and succulent slow-cooked pot roast, carefully seasoned with a blend of secret spices. The pot roast is cooked to perfection, ensuring a melt-in-your-mouth experience with every bite. To add a delightful crunch and freshness, a generous portion of crispy lettuce and juicy sliced tomatoes are layered on top.

One cannot forget the crucial role of the caramelized onions in elevating the Hobo Sandwich’s taste profile. The sweet and savory onions lend a comforting sweetness that perfectly complements the hearty pot roast. To bring it all together, a dollop of creamy and tangy horseradish sauce is spread on the soft, toasted hoagie roll. This zesty sauce provides a delightful kick that enhances the overall flavor profile of the sandwich, making it a true delight for the taste buds.

The Big Al Burger

A juicy, flame-grilled beef patty cooked to perfection, topped with melted cheddar cheese that oozes deliciously with each bite. Nestled on a freshly baked brioche bun, it’s dressed with crisp lettuce, ripe tomatoes, and tangy pickles that add the perfect balance of flavors and textures. But that’s not all – what sets The Big Al Burger apart is its array of mouthwatering toppings and condiments.

Velvety slices of avocado add a creamy twist, while crispy bacon adds a smoky crunch. A dollop of zesty house-made aioli brings a burst of tangy goodness to every mouthful. And let’s not forget the golden fries that accompany this delectable creation. Hand-cut and perfectly seasoned, Al’s Diner are the ideal sidekick to this extraordinary burger experience.

Al’s is super cute and all of the staff is super upbeat and friendly. They have a daily specials list that always has something yummy. Everything is how grandma would have made it…. So good and with love! I had the chicken and dumplings special today. I ordered it with low expectations because it’s a dish I used to make with my grandparents. I almost cried when I took the first bite. They were so amazing! Tender shredded chicken, homemade dumplings, and the perfect amount of seasoning. Instantly brought me back to my grandmas kitchen.

Thank you everyone at Al’s!!! Y’all rock!

Your Halloween spirit was absolutely fabulous!
