The double dog and fries was so good. And for 6 bucks you can't beat it.

“As real as it gets.”

As real as it gets. Don’t come here for 5star service. Put your order in and wait. Food is delicious.

Been going there for 50+ years when it was just a trailer on blocks. Food is just as I remembered. Lots of hand cut fries.

Just saw Al's Under The "L" in Chicago PD. Tell me. What's Detective Voight really like? Inquiring minds want to know.

“What can I say ......”

What can I say ....... Barry Manilow will never get old. He's an entertainer that doesn't disappoint. I have seen him several times, but never his Christmas show. "I Loved it" it was so refreshing. I forgot about all the Covid and madness going around. But his 2nd show was cancelled - due to a few of his stage members were tested positive. I'm so happy I saw the 1st show!!!

“been trying to avoid this spot but i caved and ordered a polish, which was actually a thick hot dog.”

been trying to avoid this spot but i caved and ordered a polish, which was actually a thick hot dog. not exactly chicago dogs but close enough. the fries are good though! and they wrap the freis up with the hot dog so that everything stays warm, i like that.

“I hadn't ate from this place in at least 4 or 5 years.”

I hadn't ate from this place in at least 4 or 5 years. First thing I noticed are the exorbitant prices for something as simple as a hot dog. A menu that's extremely similar to a Maxwell's. Average friendliness from the staff. I selected an order of chicken nachos and a beverage. The wait was approximately 10 minutes. The amount given certainly didn't match the price, however, it was good. It was plated as crunchy tortilla chips layered with nacho cheese sauce, chicken bites, lettuce, tomatoes, jalapeno.

“Not nearly as good as 15 years ago but i guess food quality has gone down.”

Not nearly as good as 15 years ago but i guess food quality has gone down. Burgers seemed smaller. Less flavourful. Fries still good though! Service was nice, although forgetful. They forgot to include my tamale in my order. Extremely small place, a tiny patio for extremely temporary seating.

“Excitedly ordered cheeseburgers from Al's Under the L..”

Excitedly ordered cheeseburgers from Al's Under the L... Unwrapped, they were so unappetizing as the fries were pretty much smashed into each sandwich. I expected an $8 burger to have better presentation. Would ask for fries separately had I known this was the case... Unfortunately this Al's Under the L visit was disappointing. Friendly service saved this from a two ⭐.

“So disappointed drove all the way here and called when I was 3 minutes away.”

So disappointed drove all the way here and called when I was 3 minutes away. The lady who answered the phone said they were closed. Pulled up at 6:10pm and these locks were on the door .. when did the hours change ? Because google said 10pm. Is 6pm the new time ? I just wanted my steak burger … but the food is normally 5 stars..
