I had the cheif's special, spicy chicken with fries, which was great, because they really combined multi-taste into one plate!

I was a bit suspicious because of the name. Federal? I eventually realized that is the name of the…read morestreet they are located on. It was open at the time I was in the area and it did look inviting. I perused the menu and decided to give it a try. Walking in I saw the old-fashioned furnishings, metal chairs, display cases, wall shelves, big bar in the middle all in a long and narrow room. Yessss, this looks lie something out of the 50s and I like it. After a long hard look at the menu I opted for the Salami platter... Strangely enough there wasn't salami, but more like a smoked ham, prosciutto like meat. It tasted great, so what's in a name. Delicious heirloom tomatoes, capers, salami impersonator, cream cheese, capers, pickles and your choice of bread. I had chosen crumpets and regretted that . Not because they weren't delicious, because they were so yummy, but they were also so buttery that I couldn't get the cream cheese to stick and everything I tried to put on the crumpet just slid right off them. I got the bottomless cup of coffee and I must say, this is really good coffee and the refills kept coming also. I love the atmosphere in here and there are so many great choices on the menu. If I ever come back tot Auckland, I will definitely stop by this place again.

There was plenty of food for each order. My wife had a street dog and fries and I had a Ruben. They were pretty decent. I wasn't as happy with the fries. They were like the bottom of a pile and mostly little pieces with very few full length slices. Prices were extremely reasonable. I would definitely eat there again.

As your food is presented by one of the friendly waiters, you will immediately notice the masterful skills of a chef at work. Tasting the food will be the reward for taking a chance on a small diner that's seen a couple of different owners in its day. You can bring your own if you wish, and vegetarians will also be able to find something to enjoy.

One of the best burgers I've had. Period. Why?…read more Al Burger flavor was succulent with lots of flavor on every bite. The meat was cooked perfectly. The bun was had the right amount of crisp. Al's sauce was the bonus that took it all over the top. I added the combo for a complete meal. The coleslaw had enough a unique tangy taste. The pickle and fries were ok. I will try the poutine fries next. Service was solid. I didn't know you pay at the register, but I was really satisfied with my meal that the extra time waiting to find out didn't matter. Al's Deli is a solid spot for a 5-Star burger.

Tasted good apparently, but at $18 and $14 I'd shoot off to another food joint down here and get your moneys worth. And $7.50 for a Shake... Worth a stop to check it out, but for the price any return visits would be kept at a minimum. Friendly staff and management, definitely can't fault them on that. Tidy, clean, and a relaxing place, but yeah, the cost, I can't get past it. If they were a bit more reasonable they'd find they would pack the place out. Mission Bay rent though eh. Cha ching.

I will say I was happy with the wine menu, lots of interesting choices, I ended up picking the Ned Rose- always consistently good, given this has more a hipster small batch beer brew kinda place. The kids menu was good value at 13.50, (burger chips, drink and desert) and had different offerings on it, I could of done with the salt n pepper squid, but the kids choose the chicken burger. What I found weird the burger had no vegs: just a bun and chicken strips that were deemed "too spicy" and therefore not eaten. Sigh. I had the 1/2kg of ribs and swapped the corn for some broccoli, again the ratio of vegs to meet was way off (would of been happy with a 1/4kg rib option).The ribs themselves were dry and the bbq sauce was yum but just an average sauce you get everywhere. On the menu was maple butter but don't think it was served, maybe it was on the corn??? Anywho the new brickworks area is lovley, designed to make the most of the summer sun, but simular to silva park im not sure how much use it will get in the winter. And bonus the mall was open late so I got some Xmas shopping done.
