Al's Steak House is one of the oldest established fine dining restaurants in Joliet. Established in 1964, Al's has gone through many changes. The original building was enlarged to serve the growing number of diners visiting Al's. Once known as the nightspot of Joliet, with many bands appearing nightly in the lounge, Al's decided to change. Due to changing times, our lounge was converted to banquet rooms. The gates to one of Joliet's Landmarks, Joliet Citizens Brewery, were used in our decor adding a charm to our 350-seat dining room.

Horrible Food and Worse Management
by FoodieIL at Citysearch
First, let me start by saying that I'm not an elitist eater but I do expect food to be representative of the price. Al's charges a premium for steaks and food and the quality doesn't come close to a Western Sizzler. It is that bad.
Specifically, my family of four went to Al's and we all got different items: 1 Filet Mignon, 1 Al's Steak Dianne, Veal Marsala, and a Chicken Florentine. Each item was worse than the next.
The Filet was ordered Medium Rare and with mushrooms on top. It was delivered like looking like a hockey puck and CANNED MUSHROOMS (not cooked.. just like out of the can).
The Al's Steak Dianne is just the worst. It is literally a steak in a brown gravy that is just nasty.
The Veal Marsala was completely overcooked and the mushroom sauce looked almost exactly like the "brown gravy" on the Dianne.
The Chicken Florentine was just about the same as the rest. I would have to say it wasn't too bad.
Now for the best part, we sent it back... and GOT A BILL FOR EVERYTHING.. I was like is this a joke? I would skip on this place for sure.
- Pros: Not Going There Again
- Cons: See Below.. It's Horrible
