People tend to crap on Guy, but he’s really a great human being. I’m glad he’s having all this success.

I'm honestly shocked they got a camera crew in there. If you think the place looks small on TV, you're right. And grabbing your plate and coffee and shuffling down is not just played up for the show. It is just what they do there.

It's nice that this seems to have made it through the pandemic. Like most of DDD spots, this is not an impresive place. Classic, yes. Unique, yes. The food is just medicore. Nothing special. The new owner, Allison is a neat chick though.

SOMEONE PICK UP THESE PANCAKES! What a way to close a video 😂

Born in 1947 in a tiny little town with dirt streets, I literally grew-up eating in a "Dump" like that. Can't be beaten.

I absolutely love places like this where you know the owner is doing this because he loves it to bits.

Mr. Doug Grina renamed the show & I like it, diners, drive-ins, diners, & dumps, we have a few dumps here in Kentucky, but their food is great & prices are dirt cheap, more so than a dive , should be quad D instead of triple D

Haha "old school" from DDD. Cool spot, pretty basic (good) food, not too much wisecracking.... compare to some of new shows this is funny

That did look like something less than a dive and honestly they were not cooking anything that you could not cook at home and do a better job ! My God, I could make better pancakes than that. His looked burnt! But was a good show to see Guy's first season!! PS, Having everyone shifting down reminded me when I went through Army Ranger school and the few times we got to eat in the mess hall we got our food and then had to walk around the outside walls to the garbage and dish turn in. You had to have all your food eaten by the time you got there or you had to dump it!!

It's STILL $5.25 btw

I saw this episode just before I left San Diego for a ballpark tour of Minneapolis, Milwaukee and Chicago. Al's Breakfast was one of the best meals on the trip!

I'm 58 yr old Irishman in Kentucky, I'd eat here everyday, great food & prices, great atmosphere to me,

This is a great episode 👏 🙌 👌 👍

The best show ever!!

I was a regular at Al's as a student at the University of Minnesota in the 1960s; the founder/owner Al Bergstrom knew me by name. Fourteen stools at the counter.

wow...back in 2007....

I think Al's has changed ownership since this episode (and by the time I made it there for breakfast) -- but it's still a classic, true to its roots, with those payment books, magnificently cluttered walls, and great food. One thing that's different -- and it's a good thing -- is the wait line is now outside, not right behind the people who are eating.

I’m a regular here, happy to be one!
