The First Zagat Rated Franchise Restaurant

The Big Al's Steaks Story

Back in their hometown of Philadelphia, Dr. Alan "Big Al" Costilo and his son, Adam, enjoyed authentic Philly Cheesesteaks while watching the Phillies, Flyers, 76ers and Eagles play. Actually, they enjoyed them when they weren't watching sports too. Naturally, when they traveled across the US they went looking for that authentic Philly Cheesesteaks that they craved. Sadly, they couldn't find anything that even came close to that juicy, tender steak sandwich that they loved from back home.

Sure, lots of restaurants claimed to have the real thing, but this father and son duo knew the difference. At Big Al's Steaks we only use the same bread you will find if you lived in Philly, and only the top Ribeye on every sandwich.

With the idea of opening an authentic Philly Cheesesteak shop, Big Al and Adam went back to Philadelphia and made arrangements to bring to their new hometown of Delray Beach, Florida the finest rib-eye steaks and best steak rolls Philly had to offer. Once they put it all together, they knew they had a winner. With plans to only have a company location they were overwhelmed when they started receiving request from folks all across the Country asking for a franchise opportunity in their market after they tried Big Al's Steaks while in Florida. So from their Big Al's Steaks franchise opportunity was born.
