The loaded mac and cheese here is honestly one of the best I've ever had. It's super flavorful, perfectly cheesy, and easily big enough to share between two people. Every bite was packed with taste and cooked just right. On top of that, the customer service was amazing. The owner was incredibly welcoming and even gave us a few free items to try, which made the whole experience even better. You can tell they really care about their customers. We're definitely coming back not just for the food, but for the hospitality too. This spot just earned some loyal customers! read more

The chicken was "real" chicken. It was like chicken you would cook at home. It wasn't the preformed patties or parts that you get. It was very good, tender and very flavorful. They have a "no spice" and it goes from 1-3 stars. There is a wait BUT the chicken is absolutely delicious. The sliders are huge and delicious. The waffles are literally to die for I don't know what else I can say - Wait, the people oh that's the other thing - the owner is very sweet and I think he may have family working there and they're all really sweet. I was completely unfamiliar with Halal preparation. I will definitely patronize Al's hot chicken on a weekly basis for a while. Wait, that's another thing. The mac & cheese - the mac & cheese is awesome. Our favorites are the waffles, the chicken strips, the sliders and the macaroni and cheese. That's almost everything on the menu. read more

We came in on a Friday evening. It was not very busy, lots of seating available. Bright and clean interior. Did not find service to be friendly or helpful. We got the sliders and the Fried chicken. The sliders were really good, the chicken had great flavor and texture. However the fried chicken was the worst we have ever had. We have been to Nashville and this is not how the fried chicken is. I feel like they battered the chicken the way you would batter fish and chips. The flavor was off and texture was not desirable at all. The best thing about the fried chicken was actually the pickles that they threw on top of them. It was honestly so disappointing. read more

Food was delicious, services was ok since I just ordered to go. But the location looked cleaned and only down side they need AC it was definitely to warm inside I don't think I would be able to eat comfortably. I will definitely go back for pick up again, since I only live around the corner food was still nice and warm when I got home. read more

Al's Hot Chicken - Corona - Got #Combo #1 Sandwich & Fries, great size definitely a filler - Chicken Shop Near Me - Corona, California

I decided to give this place a try since we were in the area. It looks very similar to Dave's hot chicken. I ordered a mild chicken tender/sandwich. And I got some chicken strips and fries for my son. I first tasted the sauces, those were good. I took the first bite of my sandwich and it was horrible. It had like a weird fish taste to it. I just couldn't eat it. My son did not like his chicken tenders either. He said it taste weird. I know the ratings are good and everybody has their preference unfortunately, this did not work out for us. Damn ambience was cool nice music but unfortunately, we will not be coming back. I really wanted to walk back in there and ask for a refund but this is how it goes when you try something new. The ratings aren't always what they seem read more

He was easy to communicate with, answered all my questions, and made the whole experience smooth and stress-free. You can tell he really cares about his customers and takes pride in what he does. Definitely recommend Andrew to anyone looking for great service. 5 stars! read more

Great food. Nice service and a clean place. We got loaded mac n cheese and a slider. The chicken was fabulous. The loaded mac and cheese was great although I'm sure that it's on the high calorie side. I'd recommend a couple of sliders. Medium heat isn't very hot. read more

I had been craving some good Mac and cheese for a while and this place definitely nailed it. The Mac and cheese was cheesy, gooey, flavorful and they were not shy on the toppings . The place itself was not really too attractive to eat at inside so I took it to go. Service was pretty standard, I had never been there before and would have liked some recommendations but it's all good and long as the food is good. read more

AL's Hot Chicken is the best! Way better than Dave Hot Chicken. I got the LA's hottest and a plain tender which was very much needed after the LA's hottest and both were delicious. The waffles are so sweet, don't even need syrup and the Mac and cheese was so good with the pepper in it, had so much flavor. The fries were perfect and were great with the ranch. The hospitality here is incredible and the staff was so nice. I'll definitely be coming back to this place. read more

What a delight! ALS Hot Chicken is an absolute gem in Corona. From the moment you walk in, the staff makes you feel welcome--they're genuinely friendly and clearly passionate about what they serve. You can tell they take pride in their food, and it shows in every bite. The Nashville hot chicken is on another level--fresh, juicy, and packed with flavor. Perfectly seasoned with just the right amount of kick. Hands down, this is the best hot chicken spot in Corona. Also run next door to crumble cookies for gelato and some cookies to cool down! read more

Decided to order in from Al's hot chicken and we got the sliders and the chicken and waffles. I can't speak to the ambience of the restaurant because it was delivery. I also can't speak to the servers as well. I will say the chicken was hot and delicious. The waffle was outstanding. You could taste the maple and it had pockets of pearl sugar, oh so good. The sliders tasted like they were on a brioche bun, the chicken on the sliders were delicious as well. I do wish there was a little more sauce on the sliders. My complaint about the delivery was the fries.... They tasted old and under season that was really disappointing. I think the next time I'll go into the restaurant and get my food fresh, but I will give them another try.... you should try them too. read more

Fucking horrible if I had a option to give it a no star I would. I just came from a. Trip from six flags and I wanted to stop by for some chicken later do I know the male worker that works in the counter told me they were closed. Mind you they close at 11 and they he worker said they were already closing Service horrible overall they ruined their reputation of their business they have and inaccurate operation hours. read more

Went to Al's Hot Chicken for the first time and wow it was so delicious. I have not been able to find a good hot chicken spot in Corona, so I was really excited to try this place. The customer service was amazing. Everyone was so kind and welcoming, and since we were new customers they even offered us a mac and cheese to try. We really appreciated that thoughtful gesture. The mac and cheese was perfectly cooked with well seasoned pasta and so much flavor. The chicken was cooked perfectly, crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. It was not just spicy, it was truly flavorful. The fries were also seasoned really well and paired perfectly with the meal. Overall, such a great experience. I will definitely be coming back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for delicious hot chicken in Corona. read more

Everything about my experience was awesome. Only ordered a piece of chicken and one waffle. Sat down to eat real quick before grocery shopping and the food was so delish. I got medium spice which was perfect. The team was cool, and all of a sudden the owner decided to give me a couple items that they had made in accident. I took food home and fed the wife. Everyone's happy! 5/5 experience 5/5 food Ambience was 4/5 and ONLY because the music was a tad loud. It was during downtime so I was the only one in the dining room, but if I brought my wife here it may be hard to have a conversation with her. Otherwise, super clean restaurant, plenty of seating and clean restrooms I'm new to the community, I'll be back again :) read more

We waited 35 minutes for our food being the only customers in the place. Owner is rude and disrespectful. He left his worker by herself and took off with another female worker to get Starbucks instead of handling our order. Then returned and when we asked how much longer he told us it's takes 10-15 minutes and we showed him our receipt that we had already been waiting 35 minutes. He got loud and told us not to order again. It's hit inside and bathroom is filthy too. Never going back and do not recommend. read more

My husband and I thought we'd try this fried chicken and enjoyed it very much! I got the slider meal and my husband got the chicken burger meal and we both got the mild seasoning with fries. The size of the sliders are huge and I was sure surprised when I opened them up! The chicken was great, perfectly cooked and crispy. The seasoning was very good on the chicken and on the fries. The coleslaw and pickles on the sandwiches were both very good. The service from the young man at the counter at lunchtime today was excellent, he was very attentive and courteous, much appreciated! The restaurant is basic but seemed clean and spacious enough. We will definitely be back for another chicken sandwich ! read more

Awesome meal and really good prices! I'll definitely be back! This place should be packed! Great service read more

Not busy at all, a few people inside and it took 45mins for 2 sandwiches. Just unbelievable.

First time visiting and we were really pleasantly surprised! The comment walking out the door was "wow that was really enjoyable." We tried their combo #1 sandwich and fries, spice level hot, their 4pc leg and thigh, coleslaw, and they threw in a jalapeno Mac n cheese and a waffle to try. Sandwich was HUGE. Had two really large tenders inside, and the level 3 spice was not too terrible, enough to make you sweat slightly but not burn unpleasantly. Crinkle fries looked dark but were crispy on the outside and potato-y on the inside and well seasoned. Spicy fried chicken leg/thigh batter was reminiscent of how a hush puppy might look - smooth and dark instead of with that panko textured crust. Not typical, but still good. Meat was tender and juicy and the spice level was mild. Cole slaw was perfect. Even though it looked creamy, it was light and refreshing, tasted really clean and was a great pairing for the heavier fried chicken. Mac n cheese sauce was kind of like a nacho cheese style, which I actually prefer since it doesn't feel so overwhelmingly cheesy after a few bites. The waffle was more cakey in texture, kind of like a really moist cake donut/biscuit. Taste was good, not too sweet. The honey BBQ sauce was my preferred sauce for the chicken. Overall really great experience and will definitely be back. We have had Dave's and Habibi's hot chicken as a comparison, and I found Al's to be most memorable and enjoyable. Also, forgot to get his name but the guy who took our order was really friendly, helpful, and welcoming, even though we walked in 20min before closing. Thanks again! read more

Amazing! Delicious! Hot Chicken for everyone to enjoy. I visited this place because of the FOMO and it was worth it. the service, ambiance, and vibe was welcoming as I walked in to see people having a great meal. the place was busy but they were attentive to let me know how long it would take. which made me feel exited to wait. Then they called my order and WOW! looked picture perfect. So I had to post a pic. I ordered the combo #3 with fries and a drink, and a waffle. Chicken was flavorful and crispy. That waffle was making me dance with joy at every bite. The owner was the best, for his energy and offer of a complimentary Mac n cheese. I had to mention this because there Mac n Cheese was the "bees knees" so GOOD! all together this was one of the greatest foodie adventures ever. Compliments to the chefs and Thanks to my best friend for recommending it. read more

Absolutely Incredible! Al's Hot Chicken is hands down one of the best hot chicken spots I've ever been to! The flavor is unreal -- perfectly seasoned with just the right amount of heat (and they have levels if you're brave ). The chicken is crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and packed with flavor in every bite. I had the hot chicken sandwich with fries and a side of mac & cheese, and everything was chef's kiss. The sandwich was huge and satisfying, and the sauce? Next level. The staff was super friendly, the place was clean, and the food came out fresh and fast. If you're craving real Nashville-style hot chicken, this is the spot. Do yourself a favor and go to Al's -- you won't regret it! read more

If you're looking for a bomb chicken spot that isn't a chain, this is it. The chicken was packed with flavor--we tried the strips in both Country and Mild styles, and you could really taste the difference in the heat levels. The owner even let us sample the seasonings before ordering, which was a cool touch. The loaded mac and cheese was next level--made with real cheddar and a creamy cheese sauce, not the fake stuff. Generous portions, legit flavor, and a chill, friendly owner. Definitely coming back for more. read more

DO NOT COME HERE!!! ABSOLUTELY AWFUL!!!! We paid $40 dollars for basically deep fried sugar waffles and tough chicken with a 1/2lb of seasoning on top. We didn't even get half way through our meal. We spoke to the owner and he refused to refund us for our food and said "once the food leaves the counter he won't give any refunds because he can't take the food back." read more

Long story short food cost 50 bucks chicken was dry, do not order the mac & cheese really they should use regular shredded cheese or Velveeta because that would taste better, they make their house Chick-fil-A sauce if I want Chick-fil-A I would've went there. I would've cost it less than the chicken would've hit better, I wanted to give this place a try. Corona won't be going again, come on gang do better. read more

First time trying it, I got the waffle sandwich, the 4 piece spicy chicken, mac & cheese, & medium drink. The waffle chicken sandwich didn't need syrup, to my surprise, because there's mini cubes of sugar in the waffle! The 4 piece chicken had a nice kick of heat and great seasoning on it. The mac & cheese nicely seasoned and pretty cheesy. The service was great & the atmosphere there makes it very comfortable to enjoy the food. Only thing I'd want on the menu now would be a nice dessert item. Solid 9/10. Definitely going again! read more
