Best WLM Reviews
I hate to do a negative review. However, this dining experience was downright terrible. If I could give this place negative stars I would. The only reason they got a star is the chef who prepares the main dish is very good. I remember him from years back and he is hard working, friendly and prepares the best dishes. I used to come here years ago before Covid. Back then it was delicious. The food was fresh and the service was top notch. Fast forward 2024…it has taken a nose dive. We requested for bar seating since the wait was supposedly shorter. The hostess said they just need to just wipe the bar counter and took our phone number. This took well over 15 minutes while we waited at the podium only for my husband to look and there were many tables as well as bar seating available. We informed her and she seemed so unaware of what was going on but we finally sat down. I ordered the seafood gumbo and it was downright awful. It was not even edible. It was absolutely disgusting! The soup was so thick and super salty. It seemed as it was cooked days prior. I exchanged it for their clam chowder and that was just as bad. The chowder was super thick as if it’s been sitting for a long time. I couldn’t mange to eat it. I ordered a caesar salad and it was basic. The manager kept looking at his employee behind the counter with disdain. The employee behind the counter was struggling chucking oysters. From my observation there was a disagreement between him and the staff or the manager because he walked off. There was a lot of chatter back and forth between the staff themselves and the manager. The waitresses were in a frenzy trying to figure out whats going on. To order, get a drink, a refill, and our food we had to ask the waitress every time. I mean…every time. We ordered a dozen oysters for $45 which is not bad at all but definitely not quality. At this point I was so disappointed and disgusted by the food we finally left. The manager acknowledged us and was friendly but a little too late. This place has definitely gone down from its days of glory. Don’t believe me? Look at the food photos. We spent a little over $100 and it was money wasted. We love to dine out and have no problem spending money however when the food is bad..there is nothing worse. If you dine here proceed with caution. I would recommend a dish prepared by the head check himself and skip the soups and gumbo and salads.
If you want great gumbo and a fair price without waiting hours in line at the infamous Stations Casino oyster bar on Sahara then Big Al’s is the perfect place to get your gumbo grub on! I opted for a small lunch is seafood chowder and Caesar salad for just $13! Minus the strawberry lager, still sitting at the bar on a Monday after watching a scary movie starring Sidney Sweeney I’m in very good spirits.
The food was great we had the Louisiana crab cakes????, Seafood chowder????????????, and Big Al's Pan Roast.
The food very well Blended and seasoned well and the flavor was great everything was served hot not lukewarm I appreciate the attention the server at first it started off mediocre but it did pick up and became a pleasant experience.
BIG AL'S PAN ROAST ????????????????????????
shrimp and crab simmered in brandy, white wine, bell peppers, and spices, finished with our rich lobster and tomato cream sauce. Mmmmmmmmm good
It was so much food we had to take some back home to our Airbnb I do recommend going here food was great the atmosphere was Lively you are in the casino so just to let you know and afterwards you can go catch a movie in the casino or go do your thing
Arrived at Big Al’s oyster bar about 45 mins before closing. I knew we weren’t super hungry and if they seated us we would be fast! I promised and they accommodated us. We already knew what we wanted so shortly after we were seated we place our order with the waitress.
The Louisiana crab cakes were chock full of crab with each bite and the creole mustard sauce wasn’t overwhelming. We liked it so much we ordered 2! The salad was also full of crab meat with nice crunchy bacon hidden under the mound of crab. We requested ranch for our salad dressing and luckily it was on the side or I think the salad would have been swimming in the ranch. And finally the chowder…I’m reminiscing about the seafood chowder as I write this. You get clams, shrimp, crab and fish in this bowl. It is a hearty, tasty soup and surprisingly not at all salty! I saw the table next to us with the New England chowder and it looked thick and rich so I’m glad we opted for the seafood chowder. Good food and at great prices! The atmosphere is ok. It’s located in the Orleans which is an older, off strip property. Don’t expect the glitz and glamour of the strip properties here. It no frills and showing its age.
Great food with speedy service ???? the Shrimp Rosa was unbelievably delicious and let's talk about the HUGE portions. That made u for the $26 price. I also tried the oysters ???? half dozen was 16 dollars a little overpriced for vegas standards and large selections. Overall had a great experience Food was 9/10. Portions 10/10
Flavor was 10/10. Service 9/10
Price $$$ over all 92÷ satisfied
I will be back for moore ????????
Love Big Al's, if you sit at the counter they make your food right in front of you. Very friendly chefs, it's like a sushi bar but it serves Csjun food. Everything is always very fresh delicious. We vist Big Al's whenever we are in Vegas. Great lunch place. Also. Very friendly inexpensive casino.
We had lunch at Big Al's today. The food was decent, the staff was kind and kept us happy, and the price wasn't too bad. Clean facility.
As good as it ever was!! We've been coming to Big Al's for years. Having not been to Vegas though since 2018, this trip was checking out our favorite places. We're so happy to see Big Al's is as good as ever. How can anyone resist their Chowder?!! We loved it. Thank you Big Al's.... we'll be back!!
