We've known about Big Al's forever, but only figured out recently it had a counter. Located on Larchmere near Shaker Square, this place has been around a long time and has a loyal following. After visiting on a Saturday morning, we can see why.
Big Al's is fairly old and pretty small - maybe a dozen tables and a small counter with only 4 seats. It was about 3/4 full when we got there and fortunately there were 2 counter seats open. After we sat down, the remaining tables steadily filled up.
One of the standout features is a great breakfast menu -- very extensive with many different types and combinations of egg dishes, pancakes and waffles, omelettes, breakfast meats, etc. Cam chose a bacon, egg and cheese breakfast sandwich on a bagel and home fries, while Ted picked eggs, bacon, home fries and coffee. All the food was excellent -- hot and tasty. Coffee was also great, served in a heavy ceramic mug.
All around, this was a great counter -- maybe not the biggest and most comfortable, but the combo of the great menu, good food, friendly service and perfect diner atmosphere made this one of our favorites. Highly recommend!
Cam says: "Average service with a not so comfortable counter. However, food quality and temperature were on point. I'll give it 8 frying pans."
Ted says: "Excellent in almost all ways -- food, service and atmosphere. Definitely a winner. 8 pans."
