Al's Burger Shack

My dad and I go here 2-3 times a week. It’s our favorite place to go because the food is always great and the service is excellent. For anyone going for the first time , I highly recommend any of the hot dogs but especially the DC 40 or the Steph Dog. The crinkly cut fries are to die for!!

Great food, However poor service by the cashier. Pushed us to order fast, maybe she is taught to do that, and lost on opportunity that we wanted to order more and she received zero tip. First time for my family, and not sure we will be back.

Good burger. Bun collapsed after three bites. Fries were very good. Drink comes in small cup but refills are free. Two should share fries and drink.

Great local burger joint with very few tables. Not the most innovative options for toppings or combinations but the burger meat is local and well prepared. The fries are nothing special. Frozen crinkle cut with lots of seasonings. Personally I like the fries better at 5 guys but prefer the burgers at Al's. I wish they could up the game on the fries. That would make this place a 5 vs 4.

My son and I came here for dinner after hearing and reading about the "best burger in the country". I'm not sure who gave that accolade to these guys but it was not the best burger. Neither of us were that impressed. The burger was fine but that's it. The fries were also hyped but there was nothing special to them. They were crinkle fries with rosemary on them. They didn't even seem fresh. That said, it was a perfectly okay meal and I didn't feel like I was overcharged. I also do agree with the general comments about poor seating options.
