Post visit hugs?! Â Yes, that is what received in exchange for watching the game and eating their food. Â
A few drinks later our excited and helpful waitress suggested the queso rangoon. Â I would absolutely get that again. Â We also grabbed a fish sandwich and a Buffalo Chicken wrap. Â
Since the wings are raved about I did choose the wrap, it was very spicy and filling. Â The fish sandwich was a little over done, the bun was weird and the fries were just, eh. Â There were other sides I'd be willing to try next time, including the sweet potato fries.
After we ate our waitress sat down with us to chat, we also had no less than two visits from a man who I assume was Al. Â If not, the patrons are super friendly there too! Â We were informed that next time we have to try the sliders and the wings. Â I just might go back for a hug too.
What a great little bar!! Â We followed some friends here for a nightcap since it was near their house and on the way to ours. Â How many times have I been in this area and have never seen this place... too many. Â It's hiding in a strip mall. Â I hate to let the cat out of the bag but this is a super cool place to hang out. Â The owner is so nice and the staff incredibly friendly and accommodating. Â Our friends were raving about the wings so on full stomach's we had to order anyway. Â You know they are good and you know they are hot when they set the basket down in front of you and you just smell that smell and I know you wing people know what I'm talking about. Â I only ate 2 but quite frankly could have eaten the entire basket by myself. Â Did I mention I was full from dinner when I walked in. Â
And other thing - they know how to pour the drinks! Â I was certainly not expecting that with the first sip. Â This is what I like to call a great little dive bar. Â
Funny thing is that I mentioned it to a hometown friend of mine and he said he'd been going there for a long time and raved about the owner. Â Sometimes I am just the last to know..... Â Can't wait to go back
Love Al's! VERY friendly staff! Great snacks, I Love the wings and Red "hot" tacos! Wash them down with a very reasonably priced pitcher or tasty beverage! I hope Al's remains here for years to come! Close to home, fun and friendly! Yes, I would recommend a friend or two or three and I have!
Review Source:I was surprised at how clean & open the atmosphere was in this place. Â Service could've been quite a bit more speedy, but the food and drinks were good. Â The prices were also reasonable. Â I ordered a simple salad and was impressed by the effort put into it. Â Fresh cut veggies such as cucumber and tomato accented it with what appeared to be fresh grated parm on top. Â YUM!
Review Source:This is a small, locally owned bar and grill in what I would call Parkville, but it's listed as KC.
You'll catch the owner there much of the time hanging out and talking to customers.
There's several large tv's for watching sports and you can tell this place is a favorite hang out for many people. I think one of the reasons has to be his wings. Honestly, besided the sweet potato fries---it's all I've tried on his very different menu. But, let me tell you. If you like wings like I do, you're going to love Al's. Nice, hot, juicy, not overcooked or oversauced, THEY ARE PERFECT. Service is fine--not many servers, but they all seem to handle the business well and they're pleasant.
I say, if you're in the area and you're looking to try something new, take some time to stop into this well-kept secret.
