Best WLM Reviews

Not nearly as good as 15 years ago but i guess food quality has gone down. Burgers seemed smaller. Less flavourful. Fries still good though!
Service was nice, although forgetful. They forgot to include my tamale in my order.
Extremely small place, a tiny patio for extremely temporary seating.
Al's Under The L is a must!! When you want to eat ???? ???????????????????? good old time feeling foods from your childhood. When you're parents, aunt's & uncles have taking you to the community restaurant back ???? in the day. Everything you eat there is excellent!! Yum ????
I haven't been here in years
I'm glad nothing has changed as far as the food goes. The construction is going to make the space more functional. It is worth seeing it and eating there.
Excitedly ordered cheeseburgers from Al's Under the L... Unwrapped, they were so unappetizing as the fries were pretty much smashed into each sandwich. I expected an $8 burger to have better presentation. Would ask for fries separately had I known this was the case... Unfortunately this Al's Under the L visit was disappointing. Friendly service saved this from a two ⭐.
What can I say ....... Barry Manilow will never get old. He's an entertainer that doesn't disappoint. I have seen him several times, but never his Christmas show. "I Loved it" it was so refreshing. I forgot about all the Covid and madness going around. But his 2nd show was cancelled - due to a few of his stage members were tested positive. I'm so happy I saw the 1st show!!!
The food was very fulfilling. I had a steak burger, I ate half for lunch and ate the other half later. It was delicious.
been trying to avoid this spot but i caved and ordered a polish, which was actually a thick hot dog. not exactly chicago dogs but close enough. the fries are good though! and they wrap the freis up with the hot dog so that everything stays warm, i like that.
My daughter and I got cheeseburgers and fries. If you know what's on a "Chicago hot dog" it was basically that, but a cheeseburger. It was delicious and really hit the spot. Seemed like it was a popular local place. No frills, unpretentious, come in ask for what you want and then go eat it. If there was a place to sit I missed it ???? but I'd say it's absolutely worth a visit
