Al's Under The L, Chicago, Illinois Restaurant Details

Food:

Update: the fries are a little bit too greasy and soggy; =( The skin on the polish sausage is a little tough but still delicious. The peppers are yummy. I wish I could give 4.5 stars rather than just 4 stars.
original review:
(5 stars) I ordered the grilled chicken, which comes in a pita. They asked if I wanted everything on it, to which I replied with a big happy nod. The "everything" includes grilled onions, tomatoes, lettuce, and American cheese; all smothered over a ridiculously generous heap of juicy chunks of grilled chicken.The pita bread was pillowy and toasty. It came with fries, which were a little soggy. They're medium-cut, home-fry style, and seasoned to absolute perfection. Everything was delicious beyond expectation. For $7, it's a steal. The place was pretty busy; expect it to be packed at peak hours. I went at 1pm, a little bit after lunch rush, so I can only imagine the line one would experience at noon. It's a humble little place, with very simple ordering. Go to the window on the right and tell the cashier your order, she'll give you a receipt (credit cards accepted), the cooks whip up your order on the grill, bag it, and call your order. Great value, great taste, fast service; I definitely recommend AL's under the "L" and will go back, for sure.
