Big Al's Deli is a neighborhood spot in Salemtown specializing in Southern comfort food, owned and run by Big Al himself. The menu leans into breakfast plates, chicken and waffles, and shrimp and grits, with regulars pointing to the fried chicken as a particular draw.
It's a small, owner-operated operation, and that hands-on character shows up in the food and the pace of service — generous portions served in a setting that feels more like a family kitchen than a polished dining room.
The restaurant has been named an Eater essential and reviewed by The Infatuation.
