Al's On First - Pulaski

Just walked out. Service was terrible.Had to ask for melted butter- not once but twice. Neither time was hot.Asked for Steak medium- well done.French Onion soup consisted of a slice of bread with an unmelted slice of cheese in a broth of some sort.I wish the beautiful space reflected the quality of food or service.Unsure of the disconnect.

Passing thru and found a great steak restaurant and a room at the same location. Our appetizer, drinks and steak with sides was wonderful. The best part was not having to drive back to our room. Highly recommend.

Honestly, the service has just went so down hill over the last year. I don’t blame the servers, they are trying. But they have the room staffed with one server and one bartender. I literally sat for close to half an hour waiting on bread after we ordered. Didn’t follow up and check on us, no refills offered. There just ain’t enough support staff to support the dining room. Such a disappointment compared to what it use to be.

I was in Pulaski to see a game a Calfee park that unfortunately was canceled due to a water main break. My girlfriend suggested that we go to Al’s on first. I’ve been wanting to try it for quite some time so off we went. I read online that the burgers were great so I ordered a mushroom Swiss burger. I specifically asked that it was cooked medium and no butter on the bun. It was well done with butter on the bun and it was not flavorful at all. I was not impressed.

I stayed at the Jackson Park Inn and decided to have Dinner at the joining Restaurant Al's on first. The food was exceptional, and I am not just talking about what I ordered. I noticed the food going to other patrons as well and let me tell you there is no way you are leaving hungry. Service and value are 5-star. Great place with great service. Even though I did not experience any dogs at the restaurant I am glad they offer this to their guest with furry friends.
