    #1 Sandwich and Fries
    Eric L.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Delish Mac & Cheese and some Al's Loaded Fries for the wifey. Thank you!

    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 :)

    Slider combo! So good

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

    4 pc leg and thigh, spicy Cole slaw Mac n cheese

    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!

    Awesome service & great food. We must support our local restaurants we need more of them. I highly suggest the macaroni and the Big Nash Sando. Nisal was awesome!

    Combo #1 Sandwich & Fries

    Beyond amazing. If you want chicken TAKE THE TIME TO COME HERE!!! Staff if so incredibly kind and informative on the options, great atmosphere. The man who took our order was beyond incredible and we even got some waffles courtesy of him. Chicken is the best I've had out here, the sauce is incredible, the fries are perfectly seasoned. If I could give this a million stars I would. New favorite chicken spot! Will be returning!

    combo #3

    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.

    We ordered this for lunch today. The kids were sick & we just didn't have the energy to go get food…read more& found this place on DoorDash. It was nice knowing we could get this delivered. The food arrived still hot & packed nicely. It looked amazing and smelt so good. We got the rice platter, which has different choices of meat they offer. We got the lamb & chicken platter, which has the meat over rice with lettuce topped with cucumber & tomatoes. Sauce can be requested on the side so we got the white and green sauce on the side since we weren't sure of the spice level in the sauce. The white sauce is good and subtle flavor and the green sauce was good as well and had a kick to it which was really nice when mixed in with the white sauce. I recommend that if you like spicy food. If not, just stick to the white sauce. The meat was tender & flavorful. I wish they added more cucumber & tomatoes on top of the lettuce. The amount we did get was good and refreshing with the lettuce provided. Definitely will eat this again & make it there in person to check out the vibes.

It's a reliable spot that earns its place in your weekly rotation through consistency rather than any single standout moment. The food is fresh and made to order every time, and the restaurant is always clean. My kids love the burgers and fries, my husband can't get enough of the chopped cheese sandwich, and I've enjoyed both the gyro wraps and build-your-own bowl. The menu covers a lot of ground -- nuggets, wings, sandwiches, wraps, bowls -- so picky eaters are covered. Service is hit or miss depending on who's at the register, but it doesn't ruin the experience. One tip: get there early if you want the baklava. It's delicious and sells out fast. Clean, quick, family-friendly, and a little something for everyone. A solid go-to.

    Kids, in general, love chicken, be it wings or tenders. And let's not forget the fries. So…read morenaturally, we look for places like this. We have two hungry, fast growing munchkins who come to Grandma and Grandpa's house after school sometimes. It's so much easier than cooking. This place has evolved over the years. It's not just chicken anymore. Regrettably, almost everything here is fried, but they are expanding their menu to appeal to a bigger audience, including fried or steamed seafood, burgers, and a couple Middle Eastern selections. While most items are not exactly healthy, the one nice aspect is to have choices of how big you want to make your order of fried whatevers. So we got 6 tenders to make sure the hungry boy would manage to live until dinnertime. Our dainty granddaughter chose a fried shrimp plate, and two gyro wraps were for us two adults. It was all good. The tenders were moist and fairly big, and got a major thumbs up, the shrimp were beautifully plump with a light crispy coating, and the gyros meat was a nice surprise, not the rectangular, cookies cutter meat slices that come from a big food supplier. This gyro meat seemed more authentic. It came in chunks and had a nice herbal profile. They each came with a big pile of French fries. The hollow legged little people were appeased and very happy. This is a small operation. Plan on waiting a bit longer than the ubiquitous fast food joints. In all, I think you will be pleasantly surprised, just as I was.

Everything came out fresh and in a reasonable amount of time. The burgers were incredibly juicy, the fries were perfectly crispy, and the seasoning they put on them is seriously delicious. You can tell they take pride in the quality of their food. The restaurant itself is clean, well-kept, and the bathrooms were spotless, which is always appreciated. Customer service was excellent as well--everyone was friendly, respectful, and welcoming. What stood out to me most was how comfortable they made us feel as a family. I was there with my husband and two young kids, and at no point did the staff make us feel like the normal kid noise or playing around was a bother. That means a lot to parents. The place is on the smaller side, but it's thoughtfully put together, clean, and inviting. Great food, great service, and a family-friendly atmosphere. We'll definitely be back!
