Review from Maddy E.

Bartender was awesome.
We sat in the bar at a tall top and had service better than when sitting at the bar in most places from the bartender.
Good drink specials. Ordered nachos, they were smaller than expected (had tons of toppings though) so ended up turning into a taco salad near the end.
Great bar atmosphere, millions of TVs, not a bad seat in the house. Pretty small building though, I can imagine it being packed during games or weekend nights.
They serve the full menu until close, which I'm a huge fan of. They have a pretty giant menu of "ok". The burgers- they're ok, pasta- ok, fried bar food, hey, its ok. The prices- also fine. Drink some more, the food probably gets tastier (guessing lots of frozen happens here- its fine if you aren't expecting the next Iron Chef to pop out of the kitchen).
Overall its a nice version of a clean dive, so to speak. Your hometown beer closet. Fun bar- I can't ever imagine feeling out of place here. -

I am a big fan of Big Al's at the lake. As soon as you walk into the bar it feels like your local hometown bar from back home. The staff treats everyone like they are a regular. You always have a full drink in front of you and there are plenty of tv's to watch the game. The biggest reason why Al's is so good is the wings. They have the best wings in the Charlotte area period. I recommend getting the traditional buffalo style and also try the honey habanero. Their wings are huge and have unreal flavor!

Walking into Big Al's in Cornelius is like walking into a sports bar in Buffalo, or what I imagine walking into a sports bar in Buffalo to be like.
Bills jerseys and pictures adorn the walls, and if there was even the slightest of doubts this is a football haven, a board beside the bar ticks down the minutes until opening kickoff...even if it's months away!
This is one of the reasons I like Big Al's...it doesn't pretend to be something its not. It's a straight-up sports bar.
Yeah, its not incredibly spacious. Yeah, its smoky.
The wings are good though, as is the chicken parmesan sub and the pizza.
There are plenty of TVs, and live music off-and-on throughout the week.
And should the need to escape the inside atmosphere arise, there is a small patio out front to retire to.
If you're looking for a low-key evening, have a hankering for tossing a few beers back at something resembling a neighborhood pub, or need a good place to yell at the TV on NFL Sunday, Big Al's has a spot waiting for you. -

fast service with a smile, the girls there are really cool and a little rough but I like that. best wings in town by far... great place for kids but bring quarters for the video games and sit in the back ... good place to watch a game and drink beer with friends.
