Al's Downtown Diner

"Omg! First off I need to say that I'm hard to please. I have high expectations so this was a real treat. a real HOME COOKED MEAL. they cooked our bacon perfect to our request. The hash browns, shredded and home style were made fresh. The biscuits were homemade and hot to the table. The butter was served in abundance and not refrigerated so it melted nicely. The table had lots of condiments to choose from. I have noise sensitivity and often wear earplugs but found the cafeteria style busy and still not too loud like most. The Service was Top Notch and timely! The restaurant is clean with great windows to bring the light in. I would definitely recommend this place."

"I just moved to Ferndale, and though I have heard amazing things about Cedars, something stood out about Al’s, so I popped in for lunch. Breakfast for lunch, of course! Kim was my server, who was fast, kind, happy, and unwilling to let my coffee go cold or empty. She asked if I wanted my eggs on top of my biscuits and gravy, so I tried it, and that’s a game changer! The dish, by the way, was delicious and very filling; satisfied my southern taste with surprising results! Worth every penny, and I wish them lots of success, they deserve it!"

"A generous portion of crispy french fries with my burger. Friendly staff, great food."

"Another nice American diner. Great service and location in Ferndale. Check it out on the way to Bellingham. Decent coffee too!"

"I was just passing through and came across this little gem. Let me start by saying the service here was excellent. Every server was very kind and quick to ask if we needed anything more. The biscuits and gravy were really good and full filing (obviously, lol) The pancakes are really big, we were going to get 2 large pancakes but then decided for one because our son wasn't that hungry and the server asked for us to go with the 8 inch which in my mind was still big. A great find for breakfast."
