4.5 My husband and I decided to try chicken sandwiches from AJ's Hot Chicken. We walked in at opening and there was nobody there yet. The restaurant was well lit and there was several seating options. We walked up to the ordering window but we took our time looking at the menu as no one was there yet. The person working at the counter was friendly and didn't mind us taking our time. We finally decided to share a AJ's Sammy which comes on a Brioche Bun, with Fried Chicken, Coleslaw, Pickles and AJ's Sauce. I did request no heat on the Chicken. It also came with a side of Fries. The Chicken Sandwich was good. The Chicken inside the sandwich was big. We asked for a knife to cut the sandwich but they offered to cut it in half for us which was appreciated. The Chicken was tender on the inside and crispy on the outside. The Coleslaw and Pickles added texture while AJ's Sauce added some flavor. The Fries were good. They had a crispy coating on the exterior and a soft interior with a slight seasoning. There was a side of AJ's Sauce for dipping which was really good with the fries. While finishing up our meal we noticed that the lunch rush had begun as several people came in to the restaurant to order and eat. Overall it was a good lunchtime meal. The ordering process at the counter was easy, the service was friendly, and the food was good.

I'm a big fan of spicy chicken sandwiches, so I've tried a bunch of spots around DFW to find my favorites -- and this place is definitely in my top 3! The sandwich itself was buttery with a perfect level of spice (I got level 4). It was a little too spicy for my boyfriend, but we both still really enjoyed our sandwiches. I had the Daddy's Joke Sammie -- it was absolutely delicious. The Hot Cheeto mozzarella sticks were surprisingly good, even without the marinara sauce -- but they were tasty with it too! The dining area is small with limited seating, but they do offer free ice cream for dine-in guests, which is a nice touch. Service was quick -- we waited less than 15 minutes for our food.

This is an awesome spot for late night bites. The food is actually really good. I got the burrito and it was really yummy. The service was awesome as well. The staff were really nice and were welcoming. There's also free ice cream :)) Ambiance is cute it's fun and it fits the late night vibes. There's a big nice mirror for mirror pics

This quietly has become my go to food spot after the gym when I don't feel like cooking haha. Though most of the food is fried there's a nice selection of menu items. The guys who work inside are pretty friendly and the food doesn't take that long to make, bonus points as they're open late even during the weekday.

good hot chicken place. i got tenders at the level 4 spice, "rehearse your safe word" level. it was pretty spicy, made me tear up n sweat a bit but it was good, not for the weak tho. if you like spicy without taking breaks between your bites type id go with level 2 or 3. dubai chocolate n shake was also good but a bit pricy. cashier guy was rly nice n u get free ice cream after a certain time, helps w the spice :')

We thought we would try it out since it was close to UTD and they opened late. I never really see anyone go in and honestly probably for good reason. The environment isn't super welcoming and the dishes look better than they tasted. I also remember the water tasting a bit funky when I was there. Both sandwiches were over sauced, but not in a way that enhanced the flavor profile. The chicken wasn't crispy. I ordered the hot Cheeto mozzarella sticks and there was none of the hot Cheeto flavour at all, just the color. The cheese pull was fine, but nothing tasted good. I personally would rank Dave's hot chicken over this place, but the one thing that is nice about this location is that their meats are halal. I think also when my partner went into the bathroom there were bugs, which grossed him out.

AJ's was 10/10. I got the AJ's Sammy and I have no complaints at all. Walking in they were very welcoming and explained everything they have on the menu. I will definitely be back

Came across this on Instagram, and I had to check it out. The facility is quite small, but there is enough seating for a few people to sit and eat. Their menu has a variety of different food items to try, from chicken sandwiches, burritos, to even tacos. Food: *I am a big person on trying spicy food. But this time, I didn't get to go as spicy as I wanted to since we were splitting food with friends. They did inform us that they use Carolina Reapers for their spice* - AJ's Sammy (7/10): I think the sandwich is good, but not the best I've had. I think it needed some more flavor. The breading was crisped well, but the flavor was just okay to me. However, I did notice the breading was easy to fall off in just one bite, so I was left with just chicken and the skin was just laying on the plate. As far as flavor, I think maybe if I added more spice it could have made a difference. - Burrito (5/10): This was probably all of our least favorite item. There was too much going on. I realized that the AJs sauce is not that good and it ruins a lot of the flavor. It's just primarily mayo mixed with something else. This sauce was drenched in the burrito and made it really soggy. - Mozzarella Sticks (8/10): Everyone loved this side. It was cooked very well with a nice crisp. This mozzarella stick was coated with hot cheetos. The only downside I noticed was that it did not taste like hot cheetos at all. But it's quite pricey, 4 mozzarella sticks for $7? - Cheat Day (6/10): We got the battered fries, which was tossed with the AJs sauce, cheese, pickles, slaw, chopped chicken strips. This was definitely a good size to share with others. Again the AJ sauce was not that great too me. Also the chicken breading was just falling off. In my opinion the breading should stick, if you are making fried chicken. Every meal comes with a free ice cream cone, which is pretty cool. I like how they thought about that to include a free ice cream. Overall, this wasn't bad. The food was pretty decent. Would I come here? Probably... the fact that they are open till 2am makes a difference. I would definitely try to come back and see how spicy the food actually is.

Came here around 1 AM during the Grand Opening weekend. I was expecting to try the mozzarella sticks covered in Hot Cheetos, but was told they only had a limited menu. I ended up getting the AJ Sammy's meal, and even met one of the co-owners as I was eating the food. He seemed very passionate about the business and indicated he would be here everyday. When I did enter though a hour before closing time, the restaurant was half full. The cashier told me that if I liked spice, I should get a level 4. I did, and I regretted getting it because it was pretty spicy for me. I was really grateful for the free ice cream cone. Recommend you give these guys a try!

Can't speak for their hot chicken, but wings were really good! I got sweet chilli and mango habanero. I like the sweet chilli more and wished the habanero had more sauce. I will definitely make sure to get extra crispy next time. Fries were solid Mango habanero - 7.5/10 Sweet chilli - 9/10 Fries - 7/10

Came here on a Tuesday night and it was pretty empty. I got Aj's Sammy with "proceed with caution" spice level which was the third level. It was not super spicy.. like a slight enjoyable spice. It came out hot which was nice. They put like 2 tenders on the sandwich instead of one big one which made it a bit harder to eat. Also they have a student discount that they didn't tell us until after I paid :( but my friends got them. Also free ice cream after 10 which is nice! Overall pretty solid place for late night!
