Famous Uncle Al's - Norfolk

Great food, great service, great people!!! My go to spot for some goooood chili cheese fries and hot dog. Best in the 757 IMO

Didn't know it was under new ownership. Bad move. Phoned in my order. Got hung up on once and after calling back to back I finally got an answer and stayed on phone to take the order which I had to repeat multiple times. I showed up to get my order and the lady who I placed the order with did not even make eye contact with me. She just stood there writing something down as I waited for like 5 min. I also did not like the fact that she had an ear bud in her ear. I also work in the server industry and that is a big NO NO. I have my phone on me at all times however my phone remains in my pocket on silent/vibrate so I know if there is a call I need to take/return. I was then spoken to by another gentlemen. Given all new faces on a place I frequented I asked if ownership transferred. He said yes that he was the new owner however all the prior staff had quit after being told they would stay. Can't say I blame them. Trying to pay for separate orders was an ordeal as well as our orders were all pretty much wrong. Food was nowhere close to even tasting the same as before. Really sorry that the owner sold and the staff left as I won't be a frequent flyer anymore. They get one star since they make us give a rating.

Order 2 orders of fries and only received 1 I was in the store and asked if that was 2 orders and was told yes will not be returning don't like for ppl to try n get over

This my FAVORITE place to eat on Granby, breakfast or lunch you cant go wrong. American style food made to order and Robert and his team always make sure it is the best nothing less! I appreciate the great hospitality in this establishment. No wonder why this shop remains in business after we see many many fail on this street. Keep up the great work! -Liz
