North of Lake Wales on Florida 17 lies an old Florida Roadhouse called Al’s Place. Since Ruby likes Chili dogs and we were in the area, we stopped in. It doesn’t look like much from the outside, and the inside is decorated with historic front pages of famous events. A group of regulars were at the unique elephant table. Ruby had a regular chili dog, I had a slaw dog and a sauerkraut dog. We shared an order of onion rings. I had 2 mugs of draft beer, and Ruby had ice tea. The food was good, but a hint, the sauerkraut is cold on the hot dog. They will heat it upon request.
There’s a stage in the backyard where they have live music.
Saturday is bargain day with reduced prices.
Carrie, our waitress, was very friendly and efficient.

Whenever you are looking to kick the chain restaurants to the curb and try a terrific local mom and pop place, this is it. Being from the Midwest, we had to try to fried pork tenderloin. It did not disappoint. This thing was huge. I had to fold it in half and it was still twice the size of the bun. Their homemade slaw was delicious too. Our daughter just had a side of fries. I had to try one and they were very crunchy and delicious. The wife decided to go with the onion rings. After being blown away by the tenderloin, I was a little disappointed in the onion rings.
The hospitality was as to be expected in a small town diner. Everyone at the bar greeted us on the way in, and on the way out. Brenda took care of us and always made sure our drinks were full. The unsweetened tea was perfect too. Tricia (the owner) was working hard in the kitchen and made sure everything came out perfect.
If you are in the area to visit Bok Tower, or just passing thru, I highly recommend Al’s Place.

Seat yourself dining. If you’re looking for the best chicken wings then this is definitely the place to go! The staff was very friendly and welcoming to us newcomers and the chef is absolutely amazing. She’s a fantastic cook and these pictures won’t do them justice but I hope you enjoy anyway! Worth a trip over there if you’re in the area ☺️

Had to stop in and check out their breaded pork tenderloin sandwich. Marilyn and I both got one and it was pretty good. This comes with french fries but we also got some onion rings and some coleslaw. You just have to be aware this is cash only no credit cards. The waitress was really nice and took good care of us.

Many, many years ago my grandfather used to play music here every Friday evening. My family and I had the best memories at AL’s Place. It makes me so happy to see that the place is still there and thriving.

We come here a lot of Sundays for laid back dining. We love the atmosphere. Our kids love it . There’s a seperate bar area for the adults. Their meatball subs and coleslaw are delicious.

If you’re Hispanic or look like you’re from another country other than this one, I don’t think this place is recommended. I went in and everyone stared at me in a strange, vacant way. The waitress seemed especially surprised. Maybe I’m wrong, but it seems like it’s a place only for white people.

Pork tenderloin and brewed iced tea were the best we’ve had in a long time! Reminded us of Indiana ❤️ and everyone was very friendly!!

I would have to get an actual meal to hand out 5 stars. Not that the dogs and mushrooms were bad…. just not 5 stars. I’ll definitely be back though! Awesome service and seems like a really good mom&pop. Price was acceptable and allowed me to tip good.
