This dude has got the fried chicken thing down! Mashed potatoes are off the chain the gravy is good. Onion rings are light and fluffy almost reminds me of Popeyes onion rings except they’re not spicy but they sure are tasty! And the chicken man oh man you might have to wait but let me tell you it’s worth the wait! White meat dark meat it don’t matter, it’s hot and juicy and cooked to perfection! Everybody there was friendly and had a smile on their face, people were coming in and picking up to go orders so they definitely had it going on. I’m pretty sure there’s not anything there that is good for you…. but I guarantee you it’ll be good to you! Y’all come get some I did.

We ordered the 8 piece bucket of fried chicken. Two sides are included, we chose M&C, and biscuits (photo attached). Great value for the money. Eight beautiful biscuits were provided along W assorted jams, honey, and butter. Two of us will enjoy two meals with the quantity. Staff were very pleasant and the premises were clean. Lots of free on site parking. We will definitely return.

It has a nice retro vibe to the place, specifically ‘50s or ‘60s, i would say. Besides that, the chicken tender plates are amazing as well as the wide variety of sauces that you can choose from. The service is also unbeatable, I will be back for sure!

Really delicious food! I highly recommend Big Al’s. The fried chicken breast was surprisingly moist and delicious (I’m a dark meat person!). My husband said it was the best he’s had in years! The biscuits were good. The waffle delicious. The chicken soup was homemade (even the stock), really great! I especially loved the cole slaw. Even the fries were great – crispy and flavorful without being too dry or greasy.

I just ordered chicken wings from Big Al’s this afternoon using a delivery service. This is my first time having their food. I travel a lot for my job, and I always like to sample food from the places I visit, especially wings, seafood, and barbecue. And I have to say: these are probably the best wings I have ever had! Well done, Big Al’s!

We got atomic buffalo wings and a big buffalo sandwich. Both were very enjoyable. The wings were a nice change being breaded and cooked pefectly. The chicken sandwich was one of the best I think I may of had. Excellent crispy exterior very juicy chicken that peeled apart effortlessly inside. With a nice kick from the heat. The bun was also of higher quality and toasted to perfection. I’m upset I live in st Mary’s and we are not closer. This place was very good and I highly recommend it. Our to-go was packed thoughtfully too with utensils, napkins, wetnaps, ketchup etc. If your in the area and like fried chicken wings or sandwiches I would definitely try this place out
