We are permanently closed as of 11/24/24.

It is with sincere thanks that we announce the closing of our beloved restaurant as the owner embarks on a well-deserved retirement. After years of serving our community, it is time to hang up the apron and cherish the memories made with all of you.

We are deeply grateful for your loyalty, support, and the countless memories shared around our tables. You have been more than customers; you’ve been family.

Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your lives—whether it was for a quick bite, a celebration, or simply a place to connect. The smiles, stories, and laughter will remain with us forever.

While this chapter comes to a close, we will always cherish the incredible journey we’ve had together.

About us:

Al-E-Oops Restaurant has a rich history. Our building, which used to be a General Store and Stage Coach, will mark its 200th anniversary in 2023. For nearly 40 years, it's been home to Al-E-Oops and the McGowan Family's well-known BBQ.

Today, we're recognized for offering authentic Hickory BBQ in WNY. Alongside our BBQ, we have a varied menu, a full-service bar, and a spacious patio. In 2012, even Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper visited to try our BBQ.

Thanks for your ongoing support and being a part of our community. Find us at the corner of Genesee Street and Harris Hill in Lancaster, NY.
