I ordered online. The timing was perfect and they got the order right.
One of the best places to get a steak n cheese. Their pizza is delicious and they cut it like a triangle, not squares (if that makes any difference).
Friendly service. Small area for indoor dining.

My good Northern Virginian folks hipped me to this cheesesteak spot. This Steakhouse is a staple in the community. Since I’m still on the hunt for the BEST…let’s see what this cheesesteak is hittin on…

Items Reviewed:
Their 5 topping Pizza (a 14” pie with pepperoni, sausage, green peppers, onions, & mushrooms $17). DECENT. This pie had all the elements…it was missing a tasty marinara base, & fresher ingredients.
Their Fries ($3.99). DECENT. They were just…fries. That’s it.
Their Green Pepper Cheesesteak (a 12”sub with green peppers, onions, mushrooms, & mayo $18). ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!! Now the protein on this sub was plentiful, & tender. It wasn’t a cheesy as I like, & there were too many veggies.
.
Customer Service: Excellent!! Accommodating & Attentive.

Recommendations: Get the cheesesteak & ask for less veggies.

The sandwich was good and the sweet tea was just right. I opted for the steak and cheese and the 8" was plenty. I haven't been to Big Al's since I was a teenager. I'm 44 now and surprisingly they are still around. Customer service was pleasant.

It’s Al’s by name only ! The new cooks don’t come close to what it use to be like. I can appreciate how much faster the service is but it comes at a discount in the food. When the owner or his son were on the grill this was the best cheesesteak I have ever had, this include Pats and Genos. This place will be missed.

For a quality Cheesesteak in the NOVA area, this is the place. Good portions, great quality. Fries were a little on the soggy side, but overall food was great. Limited seating. Also my 9 year old recommend the gyros, said it was 3 goods (his normal scale is 2 goods is great). Overall, they do cheesesteaks well.

If Bo is not on grill I'm sure the flavor is gone...less meat..more money? Can't cut back with cheap steak. Al's will never be the same after John, Bo's father passed. I will miss Al's forever 😢 💔

If I closed my eyes, my cheese steak transported me to South Philly. (Full disclosure I have never lived in South Philly but have dined on their cheesesteaks). What I really enjoyed was the thinly sliced iceberg lettuce it just worked. The sandwich was a tad to salty but if I was overly worried about my diet I would not have been there. I review many upscale restaurants and this one is basic as you might expect with limited tables. But so good...

Cheesestraks are always good, but they have terrific breakfast sandwiches too! I love the bacon egg and cheese on an everything bagel.
