Problem: UPDATE (4/8) - Joshua did respond and we chatted in a phone call. He basically admitted without admitting it that he doesn't use the "best" of the best products. He does appear to care, but he also cares about the bottom line. He admitted the chicken soup was simply a broth and that is why half of the reviews say the soup is flavorless. The corned beef and pastrami are made special for them, but not made in-house. Every big fan of these two meats knows the good stuff never ends up on a slicer - it gets cut by a knife. They only use real turkey after 4pm, etc and it goes on and on. Was offered a trip back on him, but I wouldn't know what to order, so I will just pass and hope others know that you can do way better.

Problem: I don't like the new menu as much as the old one. But for what it is, it is good. The portions are kind of small. The margaritas are great!

Problem: I went to Al's after stumbling across a review posted online. I went around 4 in the afternoon and was surprised at the selection they still had available. Plus, they were still making more in the back. I had to wait for a few minutes because it looked like there was only one person working but it gave me a chance to decide what I wanted. I ended up buying 2 kronuts, one cream and one raspberry, and two glazed donuts. The glazed were quite big. They weren't as airy as I normally like them, but still yummy. I ate one of the kronuts when I got home and thought it was okay. Once I got past the excess of powdered sugar, which made it a little too sweet for me, it was actually pretty yummy. I'm saving the other one along with the other glazed for tomorrow. I don't know if I'll be going back anytime soon, it was a little hard to turn in to the parking lot because of the traffic and how relatively close it is to the intersection, but it was well worth it.

Problem: Saturday night crowd not too bad, most of them standing out front. My daughter and I had the bangers and mash - so yummy!! Price is right for the amount of food you get. We small had a local beer Innes & Gunn dark brew aged in oak barrels and a taste of rum - awesome! This ed my first meal in Scotland and very memorable. The service was fast, just make sure to let them know when you need something, they don't check on you. Background music was great!
