In Short
Wedged between two Dinkytown storefronts, you'll find this slim shoebox of a place, with 14 counter stools and haphazard decor akin to a teenager's bedroom. Lifelong regulars snuggle in with ravenous University of Minnesota coeds. The cook at the grill in front of you provides the entertainment. The hearty Leonard scrambled egg dish has plenty of tomatoes and sausage resting on top. For a new experience, there are waffles with strips of bacon strewn inside.

For a pair of cities with not a lot of great breakfast places, Al's is a sure thing. Whatever you order, french toast, omeletes, hasbrowns.....you can't lose.

A truly unique little place. The staff was all extremely friendly and actually sincere about it. The food was delicious. I had the Eggs Jose (a heap of hashbrowns, poached eggs, chedder cheese,and salsa) and the blueberry pancakes. Everything was great... The previous two reviewers mentioned the staff was mean. I did not experience this whatsoever. Maybe the staff has changed, or maybe I just followed the rules (check to see if it's ok to sit before you do, don't use your cellphone in the restaurant). Either way, great place...

waited for an hour w/ my young kids. Omeletes were over cooked and nothing to write home about. My hashbrowns were too well done and the oj was warm. I think people rave about this place because they feel like idiots for waiting so long for mediocre food...
