from Google & Yelp"Great place offering a surprisingly wide array of food. The variety of Schnitzel options was a treat. Prices are on par with the area, so higher than not. Still, the food was good and the antique decor was delightful."

"We had an exceptional dining experience at Al's Cafe from the appetizer (Crab Cakes), dinner, and dessert. Not only were the entrees properly prepared and delicious, they were presented wonderfully."

"This place never disappoints me nor my friends. Every time i have gone here with my repeating friends or new ones and they have loved it more. The food is..."
