Why one star? We have stopped in at Angry Al's a few times. Today however, we ordered at 602. We ordered the avocado toast with 2 eggs, and the coffee was great. At Al's the Mediterranean food is really pretty good for the price. I give the burgers there a 2.5, there's better places for burgers. Why do I give Al's a 1 star? Their bathroom policy, and lack of care of a regular customer. I needed a bathroom today, you know I really needed a bathroom. I went to 602 and they said I could go to Angry Al's. They are all in the same center and share the same outside tables, you know, they circle the eating area. I went into Al's, asked for the bathroom code, they said no for customers only. I explained I have had a few meals there, had a 602 coffee cup in my hand, and explained I really needed a bathroom. Nope. They were not interested in helping me out. Well I'm not interested in helping Angry Al's make a living any longer either. I understand we get to choose where we eat, you get to choose too. My experience is Angry Al's is not interested in customer care, maybe I looked like a vagrant to Al, he was there, he watched the whole encounter. I Also have to admit, after being refused after stating my past history at Angy Al's, I finally became a little triggered, and I wasn't feeling well, I now apologize to Al for becoming irritated, I think what I said was something like I see Al is really angry (maybe that was me! Lol) That's my story for today. By the way I give Al's 4 stars atmosphere for the location only at a couple seats, you see the Huntington Beach Pier from a couple of the outside tables on the right side which faces PCH. PCH is negative due to the traffic you look through and have to hear and smell to see the beach, otherwise the atmosphere for the rest of the shop is a 3 for most of the other tables. Bottom line, care of regular customers is vital to a restaurant doing...
Read more"Mediterranean Fusion" restaurant in Huntington Beach, on PCH and 6th. It's a small place with a couple of tables and a few extra seats, but it's cozy, clean, and well-decorated. They offer "Mediterranean" dishes, but all with an American flair (not that it's necessarily a bad thing, of course). They also offer classic American burgers. Service was curteous and reasonably prompt. Prices are average for this kind of restaurant (gourmet fast-food?)
I had the steak wrap. The portion was not too big, more on the "reasonable" size, but very filling, especially with the help of the accompanying fries (which, incidentally, you can substitute with a salad). It came with a sort of Tahini sauce, which was a little on the bitter side. But it wasn't really needed, as the meat already had its sauce, and it was tasty, albeit milder. The steak was good, soft, and tasty but just a tad chewy (still good, though). The fries were very good: extra crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. My wife had the gyro plate. It was mixed lamb and beef, as it usually is the US, since the average American palate finds all-lamb to be too much (and if you fall in that group, don't order gyro in Greece, LOL...) Anyhow, I sampled it, and it was also good. The gyro came with a size of Tzatziki sauce (Greek yogurt, garlic, and dill weed), and it was creamy and tasty.
While I wouldn't rate the food 5 stars, it's absolutely a...
Read moreThis place literally felt like home. Everything was PERFECT We were welcomed by the sweetest Samantha who greeted us with a smile and took the time to tell us about all their special items and what she liked and what she recommended. We got falafel wrap and chicken shawarma wrap with sides of fries and zaatar feta fries. Being away from Lebanon for about 12 years that was the best so far and closest to my favorite lebanese shawarma places. The food was awesome, service was perfect, and the entire place was comfortable and clean. Bathroom was clean, counters were dazzling clean. The whole place was so great... Typical lebanese cleanliness A customer spilled soda on the table and it was a lot. Samantha was so kind and moved the customer to another table and cleaned the other table right away. She was really kind to them. Also, she told us to leave everything on our table after we finished eating and she helped us clean up. It was a nice ending for a beautiful beach day for us! Thank you, we will...
