Serves meat, vegan options available. Barbeque restaurant started offering a vegan menu as of Fall 2019. It is a special full menu of meatless bbq, which GMO free, soy free and dairy free, using Beyond Meat products with gluten-free items labeled. Also, has vegan cheese for nachos and chili. (Note from HappyCow: Reported that the bun and chopped bbq bread could possibly NOT be vegan. Also HappyCow has contacted them to see if they cook all bbq on a separate grill.) Open Mon-Thu 11:30am-10:00pm, Fri-Sat 11:30am-11:00pm, Sun 12:00pm-10:00pm.

Don't waste your time if your vegan. - Edit
They fry the vegan options in the same oil as the meat. I asked the waitress.

Vegan BBQ - Edit
This place has a great vegan menu. Can you keep your appetite surrounded by giant portions of dead carcasses? If so, then Al's is for you!

Great Experience - Edit
Would give it a 5/5 if I could!
Read moreFirstly, everyone was so nice and respectful. No "that's rabbit food" and no preaching about how the meat was better than the vegan options. The bartenders and servers treated us like any other customers and helped us order without any hassle.
Secondly, the food. YUM. We got the beefless nachos and the beefless sandwich. The portions are HUGE (we definitely could've shared one entree!) and everything was delicious. The nachos didn't have vegan cheese or sour cream on them, but they were still insanely delicious. We added pickles and sautéed onions onto the already-amazing sandwich-- oh my gosh. So freaking yummy. The vegan options do come with non-vegan sides, so just make sure you specify no cheese, no sour cream, no cole slaw, etc. I didn't ask for a salad instead but I'm sure they would substitute it for free-- it seems like that kind of place. I'd love to see vegan cornbread, cole slaw, baked beans, mac, etc in the future though!
Thirdly, the owner. When "Smokin' Al" found out that he had two vegans sitting at his bar, he personally brought out a tasting platter for us with free vegan meatballs to try. We were shocked at how generous and thoughtful he was!! We'd definitely go back just to show our gratitude!
Highly recommended for the service and food!!
