Al & Andy's Resturant

Not bad. A lot of food for the money, and it tastes good. I didn't find our perticular doshes to be over processed. The chicken breast was thick and juicy.  The gyro had the typical meat but good olives and feta cheese made up for it.

This place is just too processed all the way around.  There is no originality at all.  It almost feels as if things are made from a box - and not made well, at that.  We wanted to like it, but it really just made us weary of trying future diners.

Just came here tonight for the first time per a friend's recommendation. I have to say after my friend ranting and raving about how amazing this place was, I was extremely disappointed.

First of all, our server, older woman with blond hair and glasses, was a bit over the top. Maybe for old-timers her shtick works, but I was a little overwhelmed with how rude she was to my date and how unaccommodating she was to my vegetarian needs. I realize this is a diner and has American style fare, but I've been to plenty of places (Omega in Des Plaines/Niles being one of them) where they were happy to take the turkey or chicken out of a menu item or that offered more vegetarian items.
This woman had a comment or three to make about me "eating so many vegetables that you should just turn into a carrot already" every time she came near us. So maybe I don't have a sense of humor? I do. The first few times, I laughed with her. I joked around with her and played along with her little game. When she wouldn't stop that was when I started to get a bit frustrated. I just wanted to enjoy my food and have a nice conversation with my date, but it's hard when she kept coming around to talk about my date being "messy, just like ALL men. Oh men...I'll never understand them!" AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON...

The food was a better story. I had the asiago chicken wrap sans chicken (Asiago cheese, lettuce, tomato and avocado). Nothing to rave about but this was decent diner food. My boyfriend had the half slab ribs and even though he didn't finish them all because we were so annoyed we couldn't even finish eating because our server was being obnoxious, he said they were good.

I won't be going back here. I know my friend really loves the place, and I'm sure he has had better experiences with this place than I did, but I'm so turned off with the idea of coming back here, I just won't be doing it.
