Al's is the kind of place that you need to visit at least once. It's got a real old-school appeal. I can't say that I've had an Italian beef which is head-and-shoulders above this one. It was flavorful and very juicy. Dine-in space is limited here, but in warm weather there are some seats outside. I can't say whether Al's is #1, but it's definitely in the top two or three.
