    Combo #2 Two Sliders & Fries
    Chelsea A.

    We ordered door dash, two x two slider combos with side of Mac and cheese and sauces. Honestly the chicken tasted like oil with absolutely no other flavor whatsoever. It was burnt and the lack of coleslaw it was just hard to swallow. Some bites were okay with actual chicken meat but some were just burnt crisp that tasted like oil. We got medium which was not spicy whatsoever. I feel like they forgot to season it at all. Fries were pretty good but obviously cold since we ordered online. The honey sauce was nothing special, I also could not taste it on my sandwich. The Mac and cheese tasted like Kraft with a shit ton on pepper. Horrible. I don't even think sauce would save it. We were looking forward to trying this but yeah we won't be back.

    Ordered Waffles sandwich with fries, added Mac, added 2 tenders extra hot. This was what was left. Was hungry. Food no  good.

    I am looking for a new local spicy fried chicken sandwich spot...this one might have potential. For my first order I got the Waffle Sandwich and fries. An order of Mac and Cheese. 2 Tenders. added 1 Al's White sauce and 1 Al's Honey sauce. Overall I think the food items are terrible. I usually take a photo before eating for Yelp, but I posted my after because the food is just not good and the majority is still there. The waffles for the waffle sandwich was too doughy. I feel like it needed to be warmed up or toasted longer. The chicken and spice level for the sandwich was good. Fries were good as well. Wish there was ketchup to accompany them. (i really don't like the sauces I paid for) There was a packet of imitation maple syrup which brought a question mark to my mind. The mac did not have cheese in it. If so, it is similar to the powder you stir to make mac and cheese at home. No cheese, just color. The tenders were good on the spicy leve. I ordered the spiciest and it works. But the tenders were a bit dry which made me not want to eat the 2nd one. I added some more sauces and each of them have a tangy after taste to them. Not my style. Parking: Small private lot VERDICT: One and done

    Went there today ordered 4 combos 2 no pickles and we wanted seasoning on all the fries. All the fries had no seasoning and all the chicken had pickles on them. Whole order was wrong. Very disappointed when we got home to see that it was all wrong.

    Chicken salad

    Nice little gem I found in Roscoe Blvd. This is probably the best spicy chicken sandwich salad I've ever tried. The sauce is 10/10 and the chicken was very crispy to every bite. This place deserves more recognition for the quality of food they serve. Good job Al's hot chicken! I will surely come back to get my spicy chicken fix in the future.

    First thing is, the parking is super weird. It's small but what you think is a pathway, is actually a parking spot. If there weren't cars there, I would've driven right through. The lines can barely be seen on the ground and the way to get around the cars feels too tight to even get through! So very odd. We walked in and there was one customer. There was no music playing, dead silent. The cashier, I believe his name was Habib per my receipt, was super sweet and patient with us since it was our first time visiting. I wanted something small so I got a slider which is literally a mini hot chicken sandwich and perfect for me. My parents and bf got Combo #1 and everything was ordered to go. We waited a bit and walked over to an empty table. The fact that it was so quiet, you could hear everything. The cashier walked into the public restroom in the back of the restaurant and proceeded to hack and cough. It was honestly unappetizing and really gross but he had to do what he had to do I guess. Just wish there was music playing in the restaurant to kind of try to hide all that. Our food was ready and we took it home, about a 15 min drive back. Food was still fresh and incredibly delicious!! Had a bit of a kick but wasn't anything too crazy. The buns were super soft and that's how it should be! My dad really enjoyed it and we were already excited to come back for more. Great spot and would definitely recommend it. One of the better hot chicken spots out here for sure. IG: @ammysalamii

    Came in around lunch time and was pleasantly surprised with this establishment. I ordered the lunch special in spicy, a combo 3 medium, and the loaded fries with Mac. The crunch on the chicken was spectacular. It was also seasoned well, and I appreciated that it wasn't too greasy. The fries were also fried to perfection, and not too salty or over seasoned they were just right. I was given a sampler of their sauces, which heightened the fries. The loaded fries were so yummy. The mac could use a little more cheese and flavor if I'm being honest but I wasn't mad at it either. The customer service was very attentive and food was out within 15 mins as promised. I will for sure be back!

    I was in LA this weekend and looking for something to eat while waiting for my dad's appointment. I stumbled across Al's and as a big lover of spicy chicken I had to give it a go. I had a look over the menu and there was no way I couldn't order the loaded mac n' cheese bowl. I got that with spicy chicken and boy did it deliver. First of all, I was expecting a typically bowl like you'd get at other chicken places but this thing was huge. Much larger portion than other places I've gone, I couldn't even finish it. Piled high with delicious chicken, great mac n' cheese and crispy fries I was in heaven. The chicken was perfect heat for me, the sauce on the mac 'n cheese was delicious. It hit the spot and definitely made me wish I lived closer so I could try this out again sometime.

    Delicious goodness

    Calm atmosphere and very caring staff. The attention to detail by the manager was the best he as well as his staff answered all my questions and made us feel very welcomed. The food omg delicious, my family had different combos and I had the salad , ALL items were delicious and the portions are very generous. Please keep up the great customer service and delicious food, you now have a customer for life!

    Delicious, mouth watering, Perfect! Three tenders, fries, and a coke. They provide plenty of sauces in small dip cups, which makes the dipping fun and covers your target bite completely! My favorite of all the Nashville Style Hot Chicken places in town.

    Al's Loaded Mac & Cheese

    Angry Chickz was an hour wait so we went here, got the loaded mac for $16. Mac tastes like butter noodles, chicken is dry, fries are stale. It's so bland it ruined my night. Sauce couldn't even save it, absolutely disappointed and upset. Customer service was spectacular though.

    My review of Bills was taken down by an uppity elite becasue they were so offended by the accuracy…read morethat your first time and all times to Bills is a spirtually awaking expereince mixed with purly blissful, intoxicating sensual healing. simply because Bill never allowed troglodyte like hipsters or trendy hoes to get to him. He was a badass that made them run crying becasue he was a Cat in training. He is Gone but his legacy still lives with Doug and Hiroko so ill write it again becasue these dummies gotta know. The Last Bastion of No-Nonsense Grit: Bill's Burgers isn't here to hold your hand. It's a visceral, smoke-scented institution serving pure sensory overload on a paper plate, parked on a sun-baked stretch of Van Nuys asphalt. It was Lord Anthony Bourdains favorite place. he just never said it was because he didnt want hipsters to flood it so whenever he was asked to do a segment of his favorite burger place he said fine and did In and Out. The first time you stand outside this shack, your coddled, over-sanitized sensibilities might panic. It looks stripped-down, raw, and unbothered by modern trends. Good. We've been conditioned by corporate fast-food labs to accept heavily preserved, unseasoned mediocrity. If your digestive tract objects after eating here, it's not an ailment--it's a physical exorcism. It's your body aggressively throwing out years of plastic chain-restaurant food and demanding you finally man up. Order the Double Cheeseburger. Retreat to your car like you just pulled off a diamond heist, and sink your teeth into it.Instantly, the world stops spinning. This isn't just a meal; it is an intense, deeply seductive, full-body experience. As your eyes close, a cosmic frequency takes over your soul. It's the smooth, velvety warmth of Marvin Gaye and Barry Whitetrading lines with a soulful caress of the harp by Randy Rhoads , while the ACTUAL God aka Ozzy Osbourne preaches the ACTUAL Gospel aka Black Sabbath right into your cerebral cortex. It feels so dangerously good it should probably be age-restricted. Just as you are about to completely lose yourself in pure culinary euphoria, the ghost of James Brown jolts through your spine, slaps you back to consciousness, and tells you to wake up. You open your eyes, realize you completely blacked out and inhaled the burger, each sensual bite after the other, and immediately walk back to the counter to order another one. The Code of the Counter: The legendary Bill may have moved on to the great flat-top in the sky, but his uncompromising, badass legacy lives on through Doug and Hiroko. This shack is a fortress against the overly sensitive and the trendy. If you need an influencer-approved background, app tracking, or a side of truffle fries, head back to In-N-Out. To survive the ritual, you must respect the temple: The Strategic Windows: Show up before 12:00 PM or after 2:00 PM. Good art takes time, and they are massaging each patty into absolute perfection. The No-BS Policy: The corporate lie of "the customer is always right" dies at the sidewalk. The law of the land is beautiful in its simplicity: Don't be a jerk, and you will receive a masterpiece.The Pure Minimalism: No fries. Don't ask. They don't exist. You don't need them. The burger is the alpha, the omega, and the only thing that matters.

    I've been going to Bill's Burgers for many, many years, and it honestly pains me to leave a…read moreone-star review because I've always loved the burgers. Unfortunately, the recent price increase has changed that for me. The burgers are now close to $9 each, and while I've always been willing to pay a little more for a good burger, I just don't feel they're worth the new price. Under the previous pricing, Bill's was a place I could happily return to again and again. At the new prices, it feels like the value is simply no longer there. Since Bill passed, Doug has taken over running the business, and it seems like the prices have increased substantially. I understand that costs go up and businesses have to make money, but this feels like a significant jump, and unfortunately it comes across as more of a money grab than a reasonable price adjustment. I'm sure some longtime customers will continue to go, but for me, this is where I draw the line. I genuinely like the burgers, but liking the food only goes so far when the price no longer makes sense. After all these years, I won't be going back. That's disappointing, because Bill's Burgers used to be one of those local places I was happy to support.

There's music that's lively without being overbearing, and the staff is uniformly friendly. But... You have to order at the bar and, though they have runners to bring your food, you do have to hunt them down for anything after the delivery (extra ketchup, etc). While this isn't my favorite system at my age, to be fair, whatever the owners are saving on staff is reflected in the prices, which are absolutely below most places in the area for food that is good-quality and drinks that are generously poured. So yes, my wife's Espresso Martini was served in a deep-bellied Belgium beer glass, and my whiskey neat was a hefty pour. Yay!! For food, I ordered the Smash Burger, which is served with melted American, grilled onions and the house version of Russian dressing (as well as pickles, which I deleted). The burgers had a nice, smashed crust while remaining juicy, the cheese was properly melted, and the grilled onions had a terrific caramelized sweetness, while the house sauce was very well-balanced: ketchupy and creamy without being too mayonnaise-heavy. A very good smasher. My wife ordered the Big Texan Burger because she wanted cheddar and frizzled onions and BBQ sauce, though she deleted the bacon and pork belly that are normally included. This, too, was a very good burger: cooked to a proper and pleasing medium-rare and well-seasoned, with a good, fresh flavor to the beef. The onion rings were less successful, which are of the beer batter type, but seemed to be a commercial, frozen product. The coating was browned but not crisp, and the flavor was relatively nondescript. We didn't really eat them, and wouldn't order them again. And so, to me, The Tipsy Cow is a bit of a mixed bag: reasonably priced decent food and reasonably priced, generously-poured drinks -- but in a mostly self-serve environment that incrementally loses its appeal in relation to your age and your dining circumstances. Certainly worth a try, but you've gotta be in the right mood.
