Big Al's holds a D+ grade and scores better than only 18 percent of comparable restaurants, placing it in the lower tier of facilities in its category. The establishment shows a pattern of recurring temperature control failures, particularly improper cold holding and reheating procedures that have appeared across multiple inspections from August 2023 through March 2026, along with persistent issues with warewashing equipment maintenance. While the facility experienced a notable improvement in July 2025 when violations dropped significantly, the trend has reversed with a spike in critical violations in March 2026, suggesting gains were not sustained.
