    My food was cold and under seasoned staff was pretty friendly, but don't mean to sound condescending, but you know how our people are

    You will not leave hungry from Al's…read more We stopped by Al Smith's for breakfast this morning. Al's is clean diner located in a strip mall. We seated promptly. The waitress was friendly and accommodating. I ordered Al's breakfast special, 3 eggs of choice, 3 bacon or 3 sausage or ham, hash browns, side of homemade sausage gravy and biscuit or toast. The country gravy had a hint of sage that surprised me. Not my favorite but I did eat all of it. Thank you for the enjoyable breakfast.

    It was fine. Got the grilled chicken sandwich and fries. The chicken was pounded thin - a good…read morething for a sandwich, imho, because it's easier to eat, gets cooked evenly, and soaks up spices and what-have-you more nicely (nicelier?). But it was, to me, kind of bland, as were the tomatoes and even the onion. Not bad, but when mild mayonnaise dominates the sandwich, it ain't my thing. But I'm a hot sauce enjoyer. To each their own. The fries were a bit better, lightly crisp flour-covered things, but again: kind of unexciting without ketchup. They were fine. The store's decor was mostly mom-n-pop nice, attractive and probably comfortable (I did takeout). The carpet was worn and maybe a bit grimy. I'm thinking that's because of the breakfast and lunch crowd the restaurant attracts, many of whom have been working hard at jobs that get their shoes dirty. No points off for that. Service was friendly and efficient. Prices were good, and the portion they served me was just right for a hungry driver. Parking was easy and the store was easy to find and get to. Overall: fine. Not for me, but I can see why it gets four stars overall.

    We are out of towners driving up to celebrate our daughter's OB-GYN graduation tomorrow. We read…read morethe restaurant's reviews and stopped by for a late lunch at 3 p.m. They lock the doors at 4 p.m. We were impressed. There were two people who came before us, and then a group of 14, and then my husband and me, followed by another bunch of people into a restaurant that was already packed. The waitresses did not even bat an eyelid. They were very polite and were busy doing their work. They were helping seat people as well as checking out people who had just eaten. We only waited about 15 - 20 mins. In the meantime, we chatted with the locals, who told us how often they came here just to eat the pies. When we got seated, the first thing we ordered and got started on were the AMAZING pies (chocolate PB for me and custard for my husband). Oh my God, they were out of the world yummy! We got to watch the ladies on the grill as they made the food. My husband ordered he Swiss steak and I had the double hamburger with all the fixings. The food is great but so are the people who work here --they are just so friendly, have worked here for years and truly care. You don't see this anymore. If I lived here, I would come here once a week to chitchat with them and eat PIE!! Make sure you come here. This place is a gem and has been here since 1948.
