Al's Downtown Diner - Ferndale

Great small town classic diner. Friendly folks and really tasty food.

Stopped by for the 1st time friendly atmosphere. Good food.

Food is fantastic and affordable, staff is nice, environment is small town diner. Highly

Al's was recommended to us and we were glad we went. The food was delicious and the portions on the larger side. There are quite a number of options on the menu, especially considering the size of the diner. It's easy to see why the locals eat here, so if you're passing through Ferndale you won't regret stopping here.

This place would be dangerous to our budget if we lived here!!! Great food! I had the chicken fried steak and home fries (yummy fried chunks of potatoes) and hubby had the eggs Benny. We ordered a “small” blueberry pancake to split, a giant which was served with real butter, huge fresh blueberries, and not made from a “just add water” mix. Delish!!!. Our coffee cups were never more than half empty! The food was excellent- the chicken fried steak was actually a ‘steak’, not burger- lightly battered and fried, the eggs were PERFECTLY poached. We were treated with consummate professionalism,and witnessed even a little extra care for an obviously regular elderly couple, and a group sitting under the chalkboard menu given a paper menu so they didn’t have to crane their necks. We appreciated the little special touches that aren’t often found these days, paired with excellent food.
