if your craving guilty fatty mac n cheese, burger type food, this place does give you that when we got seated, the place is rather dirty and greasy looking. and seated at the back of the rather cramped place, we could easily peer into the tiny aluminium kitchen and of course the washroom :Sthe table was also greasy and wet looking.Dishes were in generous american potions.Ordered:1. Mac n Cheese (came with side salad): this was funny as one half of the dish was a literally a brick of cheesy yummy
when we got seated, the place is rather dirty and greasy looking. and seated at the back of the rather cramped place, we could easily peer into the tiny aluminium kitchen and of course the washroom :S
the table was also greasy and wet looking.
Dishes were in generous american potions.
Ordered:
1. Mac n Cheese (came with side salad): this was funny as one half of the dish was a literally a brick of cheesy yummy pasta and the other would be clean green salad. ahhaha. i was glad they decided to put the dressing in a seperate cup instead of lathering what was left of a exceptionally healthy meal . the mac and cheese was just what i wanted, but it was really served in a shape of the rectangle as if it came from a pre-prepared big pasta pie or some microwave container. in terms of taste, fatty food tastes good if your up for it. it won't be sth you compare with fine dining, but definitly a worthy guilty pleasure.
2. Fish n Chips:
big portion. i haven't had enough of battered crispy fish or deep-fried potatoes to know what the best ones can get. but i guess Al's did okay with it. but its a lot of carbs, which fills you up. and i don't think we actually finished the whole thing.
dipping the food with the Range dressing for the salad, alternating with mustard, ketchip or lemon. definitly allowed some variation.
overall the food was nth great, but if your having the munchies for sth heavy filling cheese type food, this will do.
service is not great, they are really understaffed and food may take a while.
as for pricing, its definitly not cheap. and personally í'd rather just hike up a bit more and eat as Jaspas. but all in all, Al's Diner is like any other place in that street. a place to go to if youre familiar with it.
the music playing in the background was kinda loud for chilling and chatting. but i guess if you get drinks on their open terrace area, it should be fine.
go here for their jello-shots or dancing on the tables. perhaps.
