Big Al’s in Coconut Creek just closed. A martial arts place is taking that entire block of stores where he was. The location was so hidden. How many martial arts places can we have in Coconut Creek? 500? Als was there for ages

Big Al’s is the best…now this is what philly taste like! I go to the one in boynton all the time, great service and amazing food…fries are killer! There is a reason these guys keep expanding!

Cheese steaks were just okay…D’Best Sandwich Shop in Boca (Dixie just N of Yamato) does it much much better.

Tastes all right, But if this is REAL Philly, then Philly is a big rip off becasue there was hardly any meat on my sandwich.. my favorite cheese steaks are at Zio’s in Delray on Military and Atlantic.

Jeff, yesterday around 5:30pm i was in the 5 guys in boynton on congress. big al’s has a store right next door. 5 guys during the 20 minutes or so that i was there had maybe 30 people come and go. big al’s was empty when i arrived and empty when i left, got a bad feeling for this big al’s location.

Agree with danny d…. no meat in their sandwiches.. you get lotsa bread though

noisy corner to eat at… dirty tables.. place did not look clean inside either..

ate at coconut creek store. sandwich was 9 bucks. bread was good. but they hardly give you any meat in the sandwich. not worth the money. sorry big al, but i won’t ever be back.

robert: Just had a chance to read your post.Glad that you enjoyed Big Al’s. This joint’s steak subs are excellent. I have eaten at Geno’s and Pat’s and Al’s is right up there with them.

Thanks for reading…

Jeff:

Big Als is fantastic! I think they import their beef from Urugway (saw an article on their wall)I have gone to the Coconut Creek location.
I think the word is getting around from the internet that Al’s is a great place for a Philly Cheesesteak. I know that the Delray location is their busiest.

I have never been to Geno’s, or Pats but people swear its as good as those. Personally I am not a cheese person and order mine with onions. The people that work at Al’s are also friendly and I have never gotten an order that is wrong. Saw a real tough customer there a few weeks ago and they even made him happy. Jeff I like your website! In fact I think the internet has become a great way to discuss good and bad meals.
