What woodlewis doesn't like about Al's French Frys:
Really grateful that they offer a vegan option, if you’re out with a group, but it is made by Dole and very fake tasting, and only fake fruit flavors. The orange tasted like children’s aspirin that I remember from my childhood! We finally have a better option in Burlington, so this would be a last resort. View all feedback. What Sarah Wolff likes about Al's French Frys:
Al's is great. We were driving through Vermont on our way east. I am glad we stopped here. We enjoyed our meal and the whole Al's experience. The burgers were a bit small so make sure you order two of them but they are tasty. This is a typical American diner right down to the neon lights and old school music. I didn't really have any complaints, just the size of the burgers but that's their thing so just be aware tha... View all feedback.

This is based on the ice cream, didn't eat in or take out from the restaurant. Maple flavour excellent. The sprinkles were soft/old. Nice looking spot.

Vermonters probably call kreemees soft ice? nice to see the option nondairy on a local ice stand

Al's French Fries in Burlington, VT offers a unique dining experience with a nostalgic feel reminiscent of the 50s or 60s. While some reviews mention the vegan options as not meeting expectations, others rave about the clams, chili, and signature French fries that are a must-try. The old school vibe, excellent food, and friendly staff make this a top choice for locals and visitors alike. Despite being on the smaller side and potentially understaffed at times, Al's is a popular spot known for its delicious burgers, corn dogs, and overall great value. Overall, a must-visit in Burlington, especially in the summer and holiday season with seating options indoors and outdoors perfect for families. Cheers to a memorable dining experience at Al's French Fries.

I guess Vermonters call soft-serve ice cream “creemees”? Nice to see nondairy option at a local ice cream stand
