Reviews for Al's Cafe & Creamery in Elgin, IL
Delicious food, amazing family style restaurant vibe. Excellent service! Ice cream shakes with the alcohol are the best! If this... restaurant could be rated at 10 stars, I would! Read more
I had a cheese burger and oh my! It was the best burger I ever had! Juicy and so much flavor! The fries are also amazing!! The... workers there were kind and gave a warm welcome feeling. It was a little tight but not too tight, I'm claustrophobic so its aworry of mine. Loved it all together tho! Read more
Overall a nice dinner and dessert. We like the two story vintage building vibe, although it may need a little dusting and... cleaning. We got burgers and kids fish sticks. Food was good, and dessert was as well. We didn't have a milkshake but saw abunch of other people with them. It's on the list for next time. Jennifer our server was super nice and the young guy who ranthe food was too. We will definitely be back. Read more

Inviting, and eclectic throwback atmosphere with friendly, considerate and attentive service conducive to relaxing comfortably... while enjoying delicious, genuine home-cooked meals, drinks and deserts. Never disappoints. Enjoy! Read more
A gem of a place we just happen to stumble onto. We loved the food and service was above and beyond. Thank you for being... gracious and accommodating to our party of 7. The salmon was well seasoned and the asparagus well cooked it melts in your mouth. Read more
If you?re looking for the perfect lunch or dinner spot, you?re in luck? you?ve found it! Al?s is simply exquisite no matter... what you try (naturally we had to try a few things). The soda fountain is a rare delicacy now a days and the opportunity couldnot be passed up to have a clean and refreshing cherry coke! Our lunch (half a sandwich and soup) was the perfect portion sizeand packed full of meat and flavor! The ice cream was amazing and left us feeling a little too full, so make sure you saveroom! I say this a lot, but it couldn?t be more true of Al?s? if you haven?t tried this hidden gem, you are TRULY missing outon a fantastic dining experience! Read more
We got lucky enough to be seated, thank's to Jennifer! The place was semi empty but I believe you should make a reservation,... because the host, he was almost gonna turn us away. We were just lucky Jennifer said there was room for us. YAY, we chose to situpstairs. Lovely views of downtown Elgin, gorgeous building. Seriously read the history on the drink menu. The place is lovely.The food had great presentation. The crab cakes were wow, we had crab cakes at like Ditka's and here, they serve you withbruschetta on the side. PLUS amazing bread. It was a lot for crab cakes. Then they give you more delicious bread. Everything wasreally good. I only wish they had Tito's vodka as an option, they only serve Absolut. BUT hey I am not gonna complain. I reallywant to come back & try some of the ice cream. Thank you Jennifer, you were an amazing host. Read more
