Al's Steakhouse

Ordered a few subs for superbowl (default rooting for the Eagles!) and Al's did not disappoint.I ordered for pickup 2 12" cheesesteaks, and 2 12" chicken cheesesteaks. I ordered both with provolone and as these were traveling with me, requested the lettuce and tomato on the side so it wouldn't get soggy. My instructions were followed to a t and the order was ready on time . the staff was kind when I showed up to pick up the order. Everyone loved both subs but especially loved the chicken cheesesteaks. I'd def come back- happy to have found this spot

So mad I didn't get a picture of my food, because I demolished it before I could grab one. Found out about this place on TikTok, and I knew I had to try it. The reviewers did NOT disappoint. I will be back here very soon!It's about 4 little tables inside, the woman at the register was very nice, and their menu is simple, nothing complicated. The food didn't take long at all, and it was HOT! So if someone sat their food was cold, they lied. I had the original with mushrooms, hots, lettuce and mayo; with a side of tator tots and a ginger ale. I could only eat half of the 8 inch sub. They also have tables outside you can sit at.

Wednesday 11/6/2024Came across this spot on instagram and saw that people were saying these were the best cheesesteaks in the dmv so I had to check it out.I spent $36.05 on a in person takeout order of the 12" steak & American cheese $16.49 and the 12" chicken & provolone cheese $14.99. Also they add a an extra charge for credit cards so be prepared.I got both subs with everything on it and they were both enjoyable but those prices were pretty damn high. I enjoyed the chicken provolone more than the steak American but I believe that's mainly due to the difference in cheeses (provolone over American) rather than chicken automatically being better than steak. All in all, I'd give the chicken provolone Philly an 8/10 and the steak American Philly a 7.6/10. My only takeaway would be the prices but besides that, both of the cheesesteaks were good.

Revisited my fav steak & cheese spot and noticed a slight change, it's more of a Mexican restaurant vibe, all was being played was Latin music???Food was still amazing but hopefully they don't forget that Al's history has a diverse clientele and that they don't completely start catering to only one type of customer. I was considering eating in, but change my mind because of this, music was not in English and extremely loud!

Came in for some pre Super Bowl food. With the Eagles playing we decided to partake in some Philly Cheesesteaks. These sandwiches instantly transport you to Philly. The sandwich was so good and I would go back. The restaurant looks like a small diner but the menu looks good too.

Had to try this place after seeing it recommended so many times on social media and even by others I've met. It lives up to the hype of being the best place to get a cheesesteak in the DMV so far! They were fast, even with it being so packed. There are seating areas inside and a few outside. Not that many for the amount of customers they have but many apparently know because there were a lot of pickups and takeouts. Loved it, will come again, but don't know if I will get up again to make the drive JUST for it again though. Nevertheless, eat and you won't regret it!

Went to Al's because when I was a kid this was a staple for steak & cheese. Me and my friends would play basketball all day at Simpsons field and we would be hungry after that. We would go over to Al's and it would be Mr. John and his son and the other big guy and he would cook and we would order the 16" or XL size and it would feed two of us. The sandwiches were much better back then. Great memories! Any how, I went there today got the 8" steak & cheese with lettuce, tomato, caramelized onions...mayo and ketchup. Can't say it wasn't half bad. The cheese isn't mixed into the meat like they used to do, but everything seemed to be fresh and overall a pretty good sub. I would definitely be back.

The Philly steak subs are amazing! Even after walking half a mile in the cold the sub was still HOT. The meat is lean! 8 inch was plenty, onion, peppers and mushrooms provolone cheese, excellent, will come back thank you

Sub par cheese steak, zero flavor in the meat, dirty eating area, I had to ask for the table to be cleaned, floor was filthy. I should have just left.

The food was AMAZING!! Service was quick and easy. Ambiance was that of a Philly cheesesteak shop! We are from out of town and will definitely visit when we come back.
