Egads, Facebook.................. Is there anyone else here who hates that dammed place? OMG...years ago I posted my, shall we say "negative" feelings about facebook. I thought I was the only one who felt that way so I let the subject drop. In my mind, Facebook ain't worth the powder to blow it to you know where....except to that Mark Zuckerwhatshisname. Yep...line up folks and dole out the money. . The billionaire needs to refurbish his yacht. Facebook...I can't stand that place either.

Al's. is TOOOOO Much $$.$$ for what you get. My 1st time there, I ordered a bowl of soup & salad. I got 4 oz. of soup, small salad inside a bowl the same size as the bowl of soup. Both bowls were servered on plates to make it look like it was more; in my opinion.
w/tip, OVER $10.00. I also had water w/lemon which came in a small glass..... W A T E R ?
Next time, hubby took the grandkids there after church for breakfast, Al REFUSED to give him an itemized receipt. hubby IS A BIT NEUROTIC.... about receipts. Now he REFUSES to go back.
He said the guy argued openly about it, he told Al he needed the receipt for the IRS, Al still Refused.
I think it's nice he's offering free TG dinner.... Any Bets Al writes it OFF ON; HIS taxes ? ? ?........
I HATE to see Another LOSS of a Streator Business !

HC, FACEBOOK........ I am serious, at my place, even routine conversations are based upon one setting reading Facebook off of the d**n cellphone and "reporting"
Quite frankly, isn't there ANYONE who just wants to remain anonymous?
Big Al's is OK, not my favorite place, but not bad.......

I have been to AL's twice and its not my favorite place but it was ok. even though I don't go there often I don't want to see an empty building. I don't think that AL's is closing and think it`s nice they do the free thanksgiving dinner for the people in town.

Never had a bad meal there and I think the prices are right for the portions you get. He shops locally whenever he can and supports the community. I wonder how many local owners stay in town for their purchases?

We've been there many times and have never had a bad meal. We're big eaters and have never come away hungry. I think the portions are sized just right and prices are no different from any of the other sit down restaurants in town. I was a waitress many years ago, so I'm very fussy in regards to service, food quality, portions and restaurant cleanliness. I have never really noticed anything major wrong that hasn't been wrong at the other 2 or 3 family restaurants we frequent. There is only one that we will absolutely not eat at and I will not name names.
