We went there on 11/3 and we had a large group of 25 people. Our servers Sheila and Dan were awesome. Food tasted great. I had the New York Steak it was cooked to perfection, and the baked potato was delicious. The manager/ hostess Kim was very accommodating and a delight to deal with. I would highly recommend.

Had the Steak Diane. Delicious. Service was excellent. Lovely atmosphere conducive to good conversation!!

This place is perfect for special events, dates, family dinner, and others. Al's Steak House is truly a gem in this area. Their steaks are top-notch! It was tasty, juicy, and tender. Melts on mouth! I was really impressed and satisfied by the taste. Plus, it has side dishes, potato and a gravy. I also got their popular calamari. Everything I got was quality and worth trying! Their serving was generous too, prices were great and fair, and their customer service is phenomenal! Can't wait to go back again soon!

Perfect place for a nice romantic dinner! Old school! George does a great job - steaks are amazing!

With so many great steak houses in Chicago, why would we go to Joliet? Well, let me tell you about Al's! It's a "throw back" to a great, "destination" dinner club. We walk in & the place was packed! *It used to be one of my dates' old haunts some years ago. Everyone knew his name & treated us like family. We were wanting to "catch up" so were offered a quiet, more intimate, booth in the bar. Jennifer, our server, was so nice as she explained the menu & described in depth each special. George, the owner stopped by to introduce himself to me & say hello to my date. Again, so nice & gracious! George is Greek & that was a big part of my decision making process for my entree. My date went with the Chicken Marsala & I got The Rack of Lamb. Rare. We started with salads which I got kidney beans on the side. So delicious! Homemade ranch dressing I could've drank with a spoon! The kidney beans were fresh & served with a sweet vinegarette & fresh chopped onion. I've never had kidney beans like that & I'm here for it! We did get there at 9:00pm & Al's closed at 10:00pm. We were never rushed nor felt hurried! Let me tell you, when that rack of Lamb was presented, I sat up a little taller in the booth! The presentation was great! A double baked potato & the Rack of Lamb. No flash! No paper on the legs... a little mint jelly & the mustard/breadcrumb crusted/coated Rack of Lamb! "Chef's kiss!" So delicious! My date got the chicken Marsala which he promised was phenomenal (I'm allergic to mushrooms so I didn't take a chance to try)! It was smothered in mushrooms the way it ought to be! I got about 1/2 way through my meal & my date devoured his. I'm not a big drinker & certainly don't drink & drive as I had to head back to the City... we were offered dessert. Too full to entertain dessert, the server took my plate to wrap my remaining dinner "to go."! We asked for the check & when I'm was presenting with my "to go," I found a couple of slices of carrot cake in my bag! I love carrot cake done right & they do it justice! I just heated up my remaining Rack of Lamb" so I'm going to wrap this review up... If you find yourself near or in Joliet or want to get out of the City for a change of pace, go say hello to Jennifer, our server, or George, the owner of Al's Steakhouse! I highly recommend!
