Great dive bar atmosphere. Plenty of dining only areas as well. I went after work and the DJ’S were lively and animated. Really kept the party atmosphere up! Plus the pool tables were in a spacious area away from most the foot traffic.

I LOVE BIG AL’S! I stopped on my way home to get some wings for dinner. Their wings ROCK!
I sat at the bar, enjoyed a shot of Terramana reposado tequila while waiting for my order.
The vibe was good. Chatted with a couple next to me.
I’ll be stopping by again, soon

I’ve been to Big Al’s a few times before. This visit, the customer service was about the same as usual. One thing I noticed — if you’re ordering drinks, they definitely come out faster than the food (we had 3 drinks before our food even showed up).
Here’s what we ordered:
Kids’ Mac & Cheese – $5
Fried Mac & Cheese – $9.50
Chef Salad – $9.50
10 Chicken Wings – $12.50
Tator Tots – $3
We were there for over an hour. The food was delicious, but the kitchen was slow. I also wish they gave bigger portions, especially for the tator tots and mac & cheese — didn’t feel like we got much for the price.
Overall: if you’re not in a hurry, the food is worth it. Just come with some patience.
Do you want me to make this sound more positive (like a recommendation) or keep it straightforward/neutral as a balanced review?

I had an amazing lunch at Big Al’s Pub & Grubberia! From the moment I walked in, the place had a warm, welcoming vibe — relaxed but full of energy. The staff were super friendly and attentive, making sure everything was just right.
The food was incredible — fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. You can tell they put real care into every dish. The menu has plenty of comfort food favorites, and the portions were generous. It’s the kind of place where you instantly feel at home.
I also loved the atmosphere — plenty of TVs for sports, great music, and an easygoing crowd. It’s perfect whether you’re grabbing a quick bite, hanging out with friends, or catching a game.
Highly recommend this spot if you’re in Charlotte — definitely a hidden gem on Albemarle Road!

Nice place to watch a game plenty of TVs. Drinks are nice,I didn’t get a chance to order any food but a lot of people were ordering the wings, next time I go back I have to check out the wings.

The food & drinks were good. The 1 waitress that was working was doing an amazing job. She really needed help but she didn’t let the pressure get to her. The fried green beans were my favorite. The fried pickles were good, but were a little soggy on the bottom. Both come with a spicy ranch sauce that is nothing to play with!! I had the taco salad. It was really good. Some of the toppings were fresh. The salsa was disappointing, especially since their spicy ranch was so tasty.
This place has been there for a long time. I remember when it was a seafood restaurant. Not much has changed in the decor. The space is large and the open design it great. There is also a smell that hits you in the face that makes you want to walk out. If that smell is removed (probably in the old carpet) & the decorations updated, I could see this place as a go to restaurant.

First time here and probably won’t be back. They didn’t have all the right ingredients to make a Tequila Sunrise, then they bought me out cold food that I waited 37min for. DJ was good and host was good. Bathroom was clean .

Fish camp turned bar. I knew I was having Dumpster when I saw name. Jesus is was monster sloppy burger. Tater tots were really good. Place almost too laid back. My waitress could have sold me more beers if she had checked more often. Saw one couple leave cause I guess they thought they weren’t waited on fast enough. I’d go back. Wish there were larger outdoor setting.

Pizza is so so, sauce overpowers the cheese and toppings. Great blue cheese and ranch for dipping wings. The wings are bigger and better than most places. Priced very reasonably for the size you get. The garlic parmesan wings were a little overdone without a lot of flavor but the mild Buffalo wings were very good. Service is hit or miss, definitely a miss on this visit. Understaffed and under trained seems to be more and more common. The mooch nachos were underwhelming for a small plate app for $15. Not a great value.

First time visiting here with my co-workers. Our waitress Kelly is such a sweet lady and she’s funny! The food was great! We truly enjoyed them! We got fried mushrooms, Big Al’s Pizza, and Fiesta Burger. Dessert was warm brownies topped with ice cream and chocolate fudge! So so good! Definitely will be back again! Don’t be fooled by the Harvey motorcycles outside, they are so friendly!
