text: The name carries a bit of weight so before I even glanced at a review I decided to make a special trip to the infamously famous Al's Beef.  I wasn't dissatisfied with the service, the store was packed for lunch always a healthy sign for a restaurant, but the soda machine counter was dirty with splashes of other peoples drinks on it, the tables were as well, not mad but cleanliness has to be a passion for a new restaurant in this town.  As for the food it was painful to read the reviews and know the history the name takes on and while I was sat there I expected a signature taste or combination with flavors, and I tasted nothing but dry vegetables, and bread.  The beef hot dogs were super tasty, I would be happy eating them anywhere from Chicago to Portland I was happy with the beef.  I gave it a 3 stars, I will definitely be seeing them again soon, cause its located in a wonderful business park.  By the way the fries weren't bad.
