Looking for a bar with good food that has a large bar area and a separate restaurant area for families? That place is Al's. Walk in the front door and you're right in the bar with high tops and lots of screens. Or head to the back right and you're in the restaurant area with more screens. Either way drinks, burgers, and wings are waiting for you.Service was very attentive - the waitress stopped by quickly and was ready to take a drink or app order. Wings were a good size, meaty, and flavorful. The grilled cheese burger was a great meld of two comfort foods and the PB Chocolate Martini was flavorful.If you're looking for a good place to watch a game, eat some bar food, and watch a game with some friends this is a great place to do that.

Best wings we have had since moving back to the Lake Norman area a few years ago. Solid lunch specials and service is spot on! Definitely recommend for a casual meal while watching a sports event.

Al's seems to be your average divey sports bar type place. They are a Bills bar so if that is your team you probably know about this spot. Otherwise, if they are your team and you didn't know - now you do! Service was surprisingly good and fast. The drinks and food were average but that was to be expected. Probably a fun place to watch a game while having drinks and food but not a top pick if you are just trying to do dinner.

Solid food. Very good wings. Reminds me of an old school type bar with a great menu and plenty of TVs. Would recommend.

I have to admit, this is an incredible place and I you'll understand. I came I'm 10 min before kitchen closing on a Saturday with a party of 4 and we were hungry! We couldn't believe how extensive the menu is, are you sure we're just at a bar restaurant???? Oh heck- chicken parm and chicken cordon blu? Sure! Well we literally gasped when we saw it come out!! Seriously? Just incredible presentation, service, portions but every bite fulfilled all of my carb needs!!!! Thank you Al!

Great bar and the food is amazing. The menu is so diverse yet I have not had one meal I did not enjoy. The bartenders and servers are incredible! We love everyone there especially during football games.

The wings had freezer burn! I mentioned it to the server and she looked at it and said "oh". And that was that.

I have been going here sporadically for the last 12 years. It used to have a great menu with very good quality food. I went in today for mid-afternoon lunch and ordered the pizza. It was absolutely terrible. They must have changed crust and other things as I felt it was a frozen (not handmade) crust. Sauce was indifferent and toppings were few and somewhat inconsistent. Service was good but I noticed a huge turnover in staff with help wanted signs up. I ended up paying $30 for two beers and a 12" pizza. I will not make that mistake again.

The boomers watering hole of Cornelius. The wings used to be pretty good here but not anymore. Place smells like an ashtray but if old people and cigarettes are your thing you will like it
