Anyone who gives their Philly Cheese steak sub over 1 star has never had a real Philly cheese steak! This sub is terrible in comparison, nothing like the real thing. Some kind of sauce that's foreign and nothing close to what it should be. Don't order this sub unless you're the typical Spfd. diner that's never been out of SW MO. to know what real food is. read more

Great cheesesteaks and friendly service! Will be going again. Looking forward to trying other food on the menu!

Great food friendly service! I would recommend to others! If you haven't tried this sub place yet, you need to!

Was in town and needed to order lunch for a group. They were very accommodating for the late notice, and the sandwiches were great. Highly recommended read more

Great meatball sub. Service was a little slow had to park and wait. Still need to try the seafood but the meatballs are killer.

The subs have quality meat and cheese, not what you get at most sub shops. Meatball sub is the best I've ever had. But the really amazing part of the subs are the rolls. It tastes like freshly-baked bread. All at a very reasonable price. read more

Every single time I go there, they mess up my sub. When I called to complain, they said they would remake my sub. When I went back they said they didn't have my name on the "board" for a free sub. So I just left. read more

Excellent variety of subs. 3 different sizes. And surprise Friday and Saturday night they seafood, king crab legs and a low country boil style. Excellent,efficient service done by very friendly people. Just a very welcoming place. read more

Yummy sub sandwich with fantastic bread. I recommend toasting bread. Gobbler is turkey with great sauce. They also have pizza. Very good and staff very nice. Tip them in jar! They deserve it. Outside tables for warm days. Old Diary Queen location. Blast from past trivia. read more

Food is average. Priced fairly. Nice staff. I wasn't impressed with the lack of cheese flavors or sauces. Not enough choices in breads either. For the sub connoisseur, this was a disappointment. Still better than fast food though. read more

The last time we were there the good was below par. The ham sub I got was overloaded with mayonnaise. The other thing we got was a chicken salad and the lettuce was very weepy and just not fresh. Won't go there again. read more

Meatball sub is sooooo very good. You have to try his food!! Have tried other subs and they are delicious as well.

As a guy who loves a great cheese steak ... you won't be disappointed here. The rest of the family had a Others sandwiches and were pleasantly surprised! read more

Bi Al's is a cool little sub shop in Nixa on Main Street. Maybe Jason Bourne used to eat here. Nixa is his hometown. The cheesesteak is ok here. It's really hard to even find a real cheesesteak in southwest Missouri read more

Subs and Crab are both amazing! They prices are decently lower than Joe's Crab Shack in Branson, however they are a tiny bit high for snow crab. The customer service there is great, Brittany is an amazing soul to love! The atmosphere is nice and quiet, a little music wouldn't hurt to listen to though!! read more

I love this place! I think Nixa needed a good local sandwich place. I've only had their subs, but I'm satisfied every time. I'm usually not into cold sandwiches as much as toasted ones, but I really like these. I usually get the poppa size, and it's plenty of food. They have the momma size which is 1/2 of the poppa. I've had the chicken salad before and it's nice and refreshing. I've also had roast beef something or other that was great. I love the bread. It's lightly chewy but in a good way! I know they serve smoothies and pizza and other items now too. Next time I'll try one of those. Service is always super friendly, and I love how involved in the community Al is! But for now, if you haven't tried their sandwiches, you must! read more

This may be the most underrated joint around. The bread on their sandwiches is world-class. They have an impressive menu offering of deli style sub sandwiches that rival the best in the business. They also make an outstanding hamburger. Do not expect a round bun because they put it on their amazing French style bread. They are traditionally made on a bit of onions and served up juicy at hot to order. It reminds me of an Oklahoma burger or a smash burger, but this thing seems to have some additional spices that make it pop. Many people do not realize that big Al's owns the right to sell the dole pineapple whip. That's the stuff at Disney. This is the only place around here that you can get it, and it's worth the drive. Big Al, being the entrepreneur that he is, has also added the Crabshack business to the Nixa location. I must admit, it's not a fancy joint, but it may be the best crab and shrimp meal. I have ever eaten at any price. I also feel good about supporting big Al because he has a big supporter of the community, the schools, and our first responders. there is even a community donation box and a code program on his property. I just think it's extra special supporting local businesses, and this one gets it right. read more

Just went there today for the first time was amazing took my first bite of my triple play and immediately said this is to die for AMAZING SUBS read more

Love Big Al's! Subs are the best..the bread is awesome and fresh. Also love that they serve Dole pineapple whip, the same as Disney serves. Servers are always pleasant and reasonable prices. read more

Big Al's Subs has fresh ingredients and it's affordable! Love it! I highly recommend!

This is a nice mom and pop sandwich shop in Nixa. They have a good selection of sub sandwich options and they also have pizza, cheesesteaks, burgers, and spuds (Mon-Fri only). They can make smoothies and offer ice cream options as well. We stopped in for lunch. I had the mama portion of the Big A sandwich and my husband got the mama portion of The Gobbler. Both sandwiches were decent deli meat sandwiches with fresh lettuce and banana peppers. I thought my sandwich was decent for the price. I would like to try on of their spuds, cheese burger, or spuds sometime in the future. Overall I would give this place a 3.5 because I love the decor and concept but have had better sub sandwiches elsewhere in the surrounding area. read more

Love their potatoes. Would be 5 stars if they served them for dinner and not just a lunch item.

Local sub shops are great! So hard to find these days. I live in Indiana and when I visit my sister we have to stop and the people are real friendly! Will always stop here. Thank you! read more

This is one of those hidden gems that's of the beaten path. It's an amazing sub shop with great food and even better prices. If you are looking for a family ran business producing an amazing product this is a must stop when in Nixa MO. The bread is soft and fluffy and the meats were bountiful. Too many choices to choose from and one sub is enough to split. read more

I eat here all the time. I have had many different sandwiches from the menu and they are all delicious. My favorite is the beef Philly with hot peppers. You definitely need to stop and eat here or you'll be missing out! read more

A Philly made with shredded chicken? Unorthodox but a totally delicious sandwich. A Nixa gem. Big Al's BLT is another favorite. So flavorful. You'll be glad you tried this establishment. read more

Hands down the best baked bread and chicken Philly out there! Great local food and staff!

The subs and potatoes at this place are amazing! I've been eating there for years! We moved away but have to go by whenever were back visiting! read more

They have awesome sub sandwiches and a great Chicken Philly Steak sandwich. Their bread is so soft it melts in your mouth. Great place to go for lunch. read more

Love me some Big Al's Subs!!!! Their Classic Philly Cheesesteak is AWESOME!!!! I personally recommend it with all of the fixings including the spicy mustard and the hot peppers!! read more

Tried to go to Big Al's Subs twice. Once at the original location at 2:00pm. I called, not open. I'm told "These hours work for us". Not every one gets to have lunch at noon. I was looking to buy lunch for a ten person shop. Tried to go today: 8/17 about 6:45pm: "Sorry we are closed we ran out of bread". A sub shop that ran out of bread? Really? Me, any one in my family or any one I am associated with will never go there/go there again. Wanna know why businesses fail? Right here is a classic example. Also I noticed if you give a less then stellar review or write something negative on their FB it gets deleted and never gets posted. read more

Service was great and the food was delicious. This was my first visit and my server was friendly and walked me through the menu. I tried the Rooster (a chicken salad sandwich) and absolutely loved it. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in Nixa! read more

If you're looking for the best sandwich around look no further. Big Al's subs has the freshest sandwich I've ever had, and I've had a lot of them. Not only is there food amazing that their service is second to none. Thank you big Al's can't wait to see you next time soon read more

First visit there and I already want to go back, amazing customer service and very friendly attitudes. The Big A sub was incredible and the flavor was amazing. Would definitely recommend to others. Can't wait to go back. read more

I tried this place last week for the first time and was pleasantly surprised. Usually small, "off the beaten path" types of places are really good, but this one surely exceeded expectations. Subs are a pretty straightforward thing to make as you've got bread, meat (or no meat), cheese, veggies, and sauce. This makes most places that sell subs sort of blend together in my mind, especially places like subway and Jimmy Johns; which are good in their own right, but nothing to really get excited about. Big Al's sets the precedent for what a good, home-made sandwhch should taste like. The bread is thick, but amazingly soft (you can squish it down from almost 3 inches thick to almost 1 inch thick, it's that soft). The sub sauce is spot on with having an Italian vinegar type of zesty yummy taste to it. Another thing I was surprised at is that you can actually taste ALL of the ingredients on this sandwich. I could taste the bread, cheese, all three meats and the veggies individually. I've had sandwiches at other places that I have had to double check to make sure they put what I asked for on it because all the stuff sort of blended together into one flavour (in my mind this means the other places aren't using fresh ingredients and this is why the flavours don't stand out). The only negative thing is that they are cash only, and their hours are short. But, this is only a negative thing because that means I can't just go there and gorge myself whenever I want, which is probably a good thing for my weight (in the end). Prices are great. For $6 you get bigger sandwich than any chain sub place will sell you, and it tastes better to boot. Next time you're in Nixa during lunch hours, stop and try this place. read more

Subs were good. The bread is very good. Pickle was a little sad. A "deli" shop should have better pickles. And the smoothies were not the greatest. In fact, my wife and I both got one but didn't even drink them. Overall, I would go back for the subs. read more

I love coming to Big Al's. Their spuds during lunch are amazing and the service is very friendly. Highly recommend

Bad subs and donuts. Don't waste your money. The subs literally a thin slice of meat. And I got the triple play a 3 meat sub. I think one slice of Oscar Meyer bologna was more than the 3 on my sandwich. And the donuts left a greasy film in your mouth. read more
