This was my first time trying Al’s Hot Chicken and I’m so glad I chose this place! I was originally going to go to Dave’s Chicken, but Al’s looked better and I wanted to try something new & they did not disappoint! The food was crispy, delicious, and made super fast. I even talked to the chef or owner and he was incredibly nice. Definitely coming back. Five stars!!

I do my best to avoid large chain restaurants and will go out of my way to support small, local businesses when I can. Unfortunately, I did not have a great experience.

It’s a Saturday afternoon and the small dining area wasn’t busy. I walk to the counter and give my name saying I ordered via toast (says it’s their preferred service). The woman behind the counter looked at me with a blank stare and I realized they didn’t receive my order. Bummer but technology happens and she says it’ll be 15 minutes. I’ve been looking forward to trying this place and not in a big rush so it’s cool whatever.

I sit down at an open table to wait and realize it’s covered in crumbs when I rest my arm on it. Whatever I’m taking it home anyway.

You can check the photos to see how haphazardly the minimal seasoning (this was “hot” level) was applied and the sad state of the 2 pickle chunks on my sandwich. I recall reading something about coleslaw but never saw any. My fries were cold as was the piece of toast.

Maybe they’re better during the week for lunch or I caught them on the worst off day in the history of off days, but I won’t be going back.

Searching for positives – the chicken tenders were a good size and the prices not excessive.

Also 3 stars for service to give grace to the poor woman who was the only person working and obviously struggling.

Owner brings the experience to the customer! Super nice always make sure the customer is satisfied, will bring a smile to your day… unlike other hot chicken restaurants. Best value hot chicken sandwiches in the area. Cooked and served with more heart than competitors like Dave’s hot and Urban bird! Yes, I said it. Fries are seasoned really well, really recommend the Al’s honey sauce, really compliments the burgers! Chicken always comes out crispy (after 4 times eating here!) Halal of course.

First time trying, the cashier/owner was extremely polite. Chicken came out wonderful, had a nice crunch to it & the sauces were yummy as well. Will come back.

Absolutely worth the visit! This place has been on my to-try list for a while, and I’m so glad I finally made it in! I got a sandwich with fries and one of their waffles. Everything was genuinely delicious. The chicken was perfectly cooked, the crinkle-cut fries were seasoned to perfection, the coleslaw was fresh and crunchy, and the waffle had the perfect amount of sweetness.
I tried all the Al’s signature sauces and each one was super yummy. The cheese on my sandwich tasted like quality Wisconsin cheddar, not the processed stuff you get at some places. Everything felt top-quality. Plus, everything is zabiha halal certified, which was really important for me!
The customer service was great too. It’s clear the owner really takes good care of his customers. The portions were generous and everything came out fresh and hot.
If you’re in the area and looking for quality hot chicken, definitely give Al’s a try. I’ll absolutely be back for more!

Editing due to the response: We couldn’t find any employees to speak with and regardless he was left waiting even after everyone came back. We thought he’d have the food already in hand. The freshness of the food is unfortunately not the full here, it just didn’t taste good.

If you are a foodie, don’t waste your money here. We tried the mild tenders, hot tenders, fries, cole slaw and mac and cheese. The chicken was by far the best part. It was sweet and had some spice and was greasy. The fries had a ton of red seasoning but still didn’t seem salty. They’re crinkle cut and likely Sysco. The mac and cheese was basically Stouffer’s and tasted like nacho cheese over noodles. The sauces that came with the chicken, both the spicy and regular, tasted like mayo and nothing else. The bread was regular sandwich bread toasted on a grill with butter- this wasn’t bad, but I could make it at home. I wish I cooked at home instead and don’t want anyone else to get disappointed like I did. We also waited about 40 minutes for the food to come out despite being the only people in the store, and the food was still cold. The ambiance inside is odd as they have built up the counter so you can’t see anything going on in the kitchen at all. I recommend checking out a different chicken place!

I want to start by saying I appreciate small business and genuinely look for small restaurants. Any review is meant to be constructive. That being said, I ordered from this restaurant through doordash and that does lend a certain amount of grace, but this restaurant is only a mile from my house. The fries were cold, not warm, not cool, cold. The serving of fried pickles for the price was wildly small, but they were good. Slices instead of chunks would be better. Chicken was juicy, not particularly flavorful, definitely not hot. The waffle was ok.

I am not rating service or atmosphere because I was not in the restaurant.

First time experiencing food in Texas and a great way to start! The chicken was fresh and crispy. The waffle was flaky, buttery and sweet with no need for syrup. Saqib was a great host. The wait time was short and the atmosphere was clean, friendly and welcoming. Way to go Saqib. You deserve a raise my guy!
