# 1 Big Al’s American Kitchen

Craving a burger bigger than what you can hold in the palms? One that oozes meat juice, condiments and melted cheese all over your hands? Then check out the first of the American restaurants from our list: Big Al’s American Kitchen; near the Hospital Clinic metro station in Dreta de l´Eixample. Their signature Big Al Burger is a monumental stack of 4 juicy patties, cheese, crispy onions and bacon; their house-made pulled pork and local greens, such as tomato and jalapeños on a brioche bun. The meat is hydrated with garlicky aioli. But we definitely don’t mind the garlic breath! This delicious creation is worth it. And did we mention, that if you finish the Big Al Burger in 30 minutes your picture goes up on their Wall of Fame? Feeling up for the challenge?

Along with their famous burgers, the restaurant also sells a wide variety of dishes great for sharing with friends; such as pulled pork nachos, quesadillas, onion rings and chicken wings. And to wash it down with, a wide selection of beers from Spain, Germany and England – an international twist to a fully American meal!

If the Smokey vibes from the booths and wooden decorations on the walls don’t get you feeling invited already, the menu for sure will. Here it’s not just about burgers and french fries. The restaurant offers a wide range of classic westside & tex-mex American food; including hot dogs, nachos, steaks, baby back ribs, onion rings and more. Enjoy this menu made with local, organic and smoked meat for hours; hamburgers, smoked meats, beers and cocktails!
