Its a great location. Friendly staff that isn't giving you brown nose service to get a tip. All the ladies checked on me, not just the one who was serving me. The food is simple but delicious. Always come back.

I am not sure how or why I am so late with my review. I have been coming here for a few years now. This is a local spot. Love that they recognize the regulars. I get the same thing every-time… footling all beef hotdog with bacon cheese fries. The service is always welcoming. As a local it feels like home. It’s diner style with a cozy and welcoming atmosphere.

I came in for the Friday Footlong special. I got chili, melted cheese, onions, and bacon on mine. The restaurant was clean and the service was fast. I’m already looking forward to next Friday!

It's been a year since I last reviewed Famous Al's Kemp's River. Everything has changed! The food is better, the service is better. They have relish and tater tots and onion rings too. Just good food at a fair price.

I try to come here at least once a week. The staff is always really nice and can cook some dang good food!! Great daily specials & desserts. I got their BLT for the first time today and it was a 1000/10! Highly recommend their hot smoked sausage as well. This location is the best in VB!

Great hot dogs/combos for a great price. Ordering to go was a breeze & the wait was only 10 minutes. Looking forward to maybe trying a cheesesteak in the future.
