Streator Illinois, a cultured town with cultured dining. Known for its exquisite, fine glass manufacturing, Al's Place proves that cooking is the town's true art and craftsmanship. Upon entering you will be wowed by the building's unique internal architecture decorated in a classy, modern style that surprisingly maintains a certain hometown charm and family atmosphere. The staff pleasantly greet you at the door and are marvelously polite throughout your entire experience. The variety of their offerings is a daunting task to navigate. So many delicious choices, you may find yourself pleading for more time to decide. The food was an absolute perfection, the presentation bold, the taste flavorful and rich. In all this decadence of a meal, the value was what most struck me. Large, filling proportions without jumping into the realm of ridiculous, and modest prices that permit one to enjoy their restaurant daily. I have nothing but praise for this restaurant that helped this traveler and his friends feel a little closer to home. If this review seemed lavish in nature or perhaps you think I'm speaking in hyperbole, I'll be waiting on your apology after you've eaten at Al's!
