I was disappointed with my experience at this restaurant. The portion size was extremely small for $26, and the brisket lacked flavor. The rib was served cold and was a bit tough. The sides were okay, but nothing special that would make me want to return. I've tried BBQ from many places, and this was the smallest serving I've encountered for the price. I won't be wasting my money here again.

I usually don’t dine out, especially American food, but last night we happened to stop by. I had a Texas cheeseburger and french fries. My daughter had nice and crunchy fried shrimp. We took out some pie and chocolate cake. Everything tasted very good to me. The staff were very nice. The restaurant was nice and clean. I would like to go back again when I visit Big Spring next time.

The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. The food was delicious, the tea was fresh, and the dessert was the perfect way to end the meal.

It's evident that the work environment is quite toxic. The managers appear to dislike being there and they treat the staff poorly. However, the food is great and the servers are excellent.

Recently ate at Al's. Tried the fish it was decent but very small portions. Brisket and ribs didn't taste like Texas BBQ and very high prices. Wasn't a fan of the sides. Unfortunately it wasn't for me.
