We've visited Sal's Nashville Hot Chicken several times, and it continues to impress. The restaurant is new, clean, and well‑designed, offering a comfortable dining experience. The spicy chicken exceeded our expectations -- after traveling across many U.S. states and trying countless fried chicken spots, Sal's ranks among our top favorites. Prices are slightly higher than major chains like Popeyes or KFC, and the restaurant isn't very busy yet, but the quality and flavor make it a standout choice. Highly worth trying if you're in the area. Chef Anthony Tran read more

Sal's has managed to survive what once was a cursed location that went through a few hands. I've been here several times and its been consistent in its "good enoughness." This most recent trip was no different. I came here specifically to telry the parhata smash. Apprently a rage in UAE or so I'm told. The idea is simple. Take a burger and instead of a bun, serve it in a parhata, basically a fried tortilla. Gotta say it was ok. The fries accompanying it were over salted :( This is very much a neighborhood comfort place you go to out of convenience and familiarity. The prices are reasonable which helps tremendously. It's 3.5 rounded up. read more

Drove by and tried this spot and instantly regretted it. Thought it was a chain I didn't know about but it was a local spot which is cool, but these guys nickel and dime you for everything here. Won't give extra sauce without charging. Won't substitute sides for another. Rigid and inflexible with the menu, and it just seemed grimey and unorganized inside. I feel as though Dave's or similar is the standard for hot chicken and while the flavor was decent, the tenders are hardly "jumbo" here. I regret not sticking with Dave's for my hot chick fix. read more

My friends brought me here recently and I can't stop thinking about it! I'm always nervous about chicken but I can always trust a halal shop and omggg the food is just to die for. I got the Nashville sandwich and it was so juicy and fresh tasting while also being fried to perfection. Can't wait to go back! read more

Halal hot chicken in Dallas. There's not much to say about this place. It gets the job done and has a decent sandwich but nothing crazy. The loaded fries were average as well. Definitely much better places in the Dallas area, but it's still not bad. read more

First time I've come here and had a poor experience. I should have known as usually I have to wait 5-10 minutes for my lunch, but this time my sandwich came out within a few minutes and wasn't as big or as fresh a cutlet as I've had before. Disappointing but I may try again. read more

Went to the site on 74 and spring valley. Got the Hot level. Not spicy. Almost sweet? I suspect sugar in the brine or seasoning. Over cooked and dry. Couldn't finish it , terrible. If you want Nashville Hot Chicken, go to Hattie B's. Service was nice though. read more

I was in the neighborhood and wanted some spicy fried.chicken. Good reviews led me to try this place out. At 2pm, I was the only one there and upon ordering, I was told the wait would be 15 minutes. My first reaction was disappointment but as I sat down and waited, I realized that my chicken and fries would come out freshly cooked. I ordered the 2 thighs, 2 drumsticks with fries. The fries came out first and were hot and tasty. I had to ask for salt and pepper and the counter salesman brought out containers with enough to satisfy my taste and the pepper was coarse, which is perfect to my preference. The chicken quickly followed and it was so hot, I had to cut pieces off the bone and let them cool. The crust was spicy good as I had ordered medium and the chicken was juicy. I recommend this place and will be returning.. sorry I did not take a picture. read more

The Plano location is first class. The new Richardson location serves flavorless dry chicken. Ive been there twice and both times i regretted it. read more

Amazing food!!! Service has been good from the first time I went. And we get food there often, maybe a little too much...lol. Nice atmosphere and great music. While waiting for food, I'm usually dancing in my seat and lip syncing. Chick-fil-bland can learn ALOT from this place! Always skimping on toppings and no flavor. Sal's food has SOOOO MUCH flavor! I'm hooked on their nashville chicken and smash burger - OMG DELICIOUS!!! Highly recommend this place. LOVE IT!!!!! read more

Hot chicken spots are found all over the place in the Dallas area. This is my son and daughter in law's favorite. We all tried something different and it was delicious. I tried the medium spice that was almost too hot for me they all did the spicy and my wife could have had the super spicy she said. The fries were seasoned and cooked nicely. We have waffle and chicken, I had the waffle sandwich, and sin and wife had the hot chicken sandwich. It was all terrific my waffle, chicken and slaw combined perfectly and add wing a little syrup to cut the heat is genius. This family ran business was impeccably clean and service was great. 4.5 for the food, 5 service, and will definitely come back next time we are visiting. This is the kids "Friday chicken" spot and I can see why. read more

This is hands down some of the best fried chicken I've ever had. It's so fresh, juicy, and crispy. The tenders are phenomenal as well as their wings and regular fried chicken. I went with the milder options and they're perfect. The dipping sauces are great too. Plus, I do love Halal food, so that was a nice surprise. The place is very unassuming, but the staff are very friendly. 10/10 will absolutely come back here read more

Posting again cause we went here again and we just love the sandwiches here! This time, however, we tried the loaded fries which were BOMB!! Service was quick and food was amazing just like before! read more

My husband and I have been wanting to give this place a try and I'm very happy we did! The food was hot and delicious. The service was great, table's clean and overall a good experience. read more

great place & one of my favorite chicken sandwich in Dallas Sal's is located in a complex with other restaurants, so they have a lot of parking. The ambiance is casual, and can have a couple of medium-sized groups with one or two large groups. The staff are helpful, and the menu is the fried chicken, chicken sandwich, loaded fries, etc. We got the zinger sandwich (medium level), the loaded fries with the comeback sauce, 2 piece fried chicken, and the chicken cheese skewer platter. First off, I absolutely loved the zinger sandwich! I've had it twice now, and I loved it both times. It has the delicious comeback sauce, juicy chicken, some crunch from the cabbage, but not too much - it's awesome! The loaded fries are also super yummy! The fries aren't soggy with oil, it's super saucy, and the fried chicken pieces are juicy! I also like that they give pickles on the side. If I'm feeling for some loaded fried chicken fries, I'd come here. The 2 piece fried chicken was also good, the chicken was moist inside and went well with the garlic sauce they gave with it. The breading did need a little more seasoning I felt, and the breading did separate from the chicken on some places. The platter's rice was flavorful and fluffy - two things I always look for in the rice! They also have a delicious cilantro and what taste like yogurt sauce on the side, which was good, too. The chicken kebab was moist and flavorful, too. When it first came to the table, it was cheesy, which went well with the kebab, but when I'd started cooking down, it got kinda tough (the cheese). I've heard people say when you reheat it at home it gets soft again, but didn't try that. Also, I love that they have a great selection of sauces; my favorite is their comeback sauce. Overall, I'll be back to have their food again! read more

I went to try the paratha smash burger. And please let me tell you, it was SO good. Not at all what I was expecting. It was so fresh even after eating it after 30 min once I got home, it was made on time and the lady and guy helping me were so pleasant and helpful. The sauces in the burger and the patty was so yummy. So impressed read more

The chicken tenders were large, but they had more of a panko breading. I ordered the medium heat level, but I could not decern any spiciness at all. The french fries were plentiful but flavorless. read more

I had Fiery and Ricky in the past. Thought they were all the same, but was told they're not a joint franchise. Surprisingly, this one didn't meet my expectations flavor wise. Fries were plain, and chicken wasn't that flavorful. Spice levels were spicier than you'd anticipate. I honestly would prefer Fiery or Ricky any day. read more

Wow. This is a zabiha place to eat and wowowowow. they have burgers now so i got the blazing jalapeño burger and i am in awe. it was saucy, juicy, spicy with the jalapeño. We ordered in advanced and ate in store. nice calm environment. helpful staff, and nice drinks options, no ginger ale though. we had their nashville burger and it was nice and tender. however, when we reheated iy the next day, it was greasy. the loaded fries are one of my favorite items there. am gonna come back. read more

Awesome place!!! Super super good!!! They are fast and anything you try is . Never disappoints!!! read more

Very hot and fresh and delicious. Every bite was crispy and mouthwatering . Would definitely go again

The service was good here. The hot chicken sandwich was the hot level, but to me it was not terribly hot imo. The fries were good. For a combo at $13.99 I just didn't like the soda cup being small. The meal price seemed a little high. read more

I stopped by Sal's this past Friday and ordered the chicken salad (medium heat) and maaaaan! I'm hooked, so hooked I had to try again to see if it was just my imagination, so I ordered the salad and the 4 piece chicken, both medium heat and yeah, it's confirmed. It's damn good. Good Job to the peeps at Sal's. read more

Not sure what "authentic" chicken tenders are supposed to taste like, but if these aren't authentic, I like my chicken tenders inauthentic. I got the mild ones and they're exactly as described; not very spicy but definitely full of flavor. The chicken was falling apart without me even having to use my knife, and it was very very juicy (see picture for proof). The sauce is very similar to canes sauce but seems to have more of a ketchup/mayonnaise base; it paired very well with the chicken. Mac and cheese seems to maybe be made using Velveeta cheese (might be wrong). Not the best I've had but still very good. If I could have changed one thing I would have rather had melted cheese on top rather than the bread crumbs. The fries were also really good, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Overall this is probably one of the best halal chicken tenders places I've been to. I even tried it on a full stomach and was still very impressed. I look forward to going back and trying the spicy flavors. read more

Amazing food! The waffles and tender sliders had jalapeño mixed in to make for an amazing sweet and savory bite. The staff is awesome, letting us sample the newer skewers and giving us complementary chai! read more

Wow what a hidden gem! My friends and I came here after realising pho texas is closed. I love myself a good chicken and waffle and this is definitely one of the better ones I've had!!

I haven't left a review in awhile but today I had my expectations exceeded and thought I would leave a review. I have driven by Sal's for a good while now but never during lunch or dinner. It is a little ways from my house but today I drove by at lunch and Nashville chicken sounded great. And it was great! They cooked to order so it took 10 minutes or so but so worth the wait. All I got was the three piece chicken with a side of fried okra. The okra was perfectly cooked crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The chicken was perfectly cooked. I got the Hot spice level and it was so perfect and flavorsome! I will now drive out of my way to eat at Sal's. Seriously, this is a good food place. Forget the Nashville hot thing. This is got flat out good chicken!! read more

Amazing food - great service - ambiance very welcoming. The two arcade machines gave me nostalgic memories and the whole family enjoyed them. Food is always amazing. We ordered fried chicken medium spice. It was amazing and flavorful reminds me of desi fried chicken back home. The kids loved the chicken tenders. Medium and mild spice. Adding the the bread underneath is genius!!! It absorbed the oil and No complaints from kids about oily fingers. The wild wild wings is the show stopper. I have never had these flavors before. It's a nice balance of spice. They were gone so fast. The chicken smashburger!!! wow just wow never thought a cheese burger in chicken patty can be soo good!!!! So unique!!! It's definitely a hidden gem ... Overalll 10 out of 10!!!! With such good food I'm Surprised Sal's isn't a more known place. Definitely better than other overhyped Nashville places!! Sorry no pictures. The food is devoured so quick. read more

I love it so much, I drive 27 miles at lunch time to pick it up. Amazing service, delicious food, and the inside of the establishment is cozy. read more

Came for a weekday lunch. I got the standard Nashville Hot Sandwich (#1). It was delcious. I got Medium Spicy - level 3 of 5 - and it was indeed very spicy. I'm happy to know a place that actually makes them spicy, DFW tends to be very tame on these. I subtracted one star because the staff lacked any enthusiasm and was very silent. The cash register girl barely spoke and seemed to hide out of sight when no one was waiting to pay. The man who brought me my food set it down without a word, not checking if I needed anything. I'm pleased enough by the food I'll come back, but it's disappointing they don't bring a fun attitude too. The original Hattie B's in Nashville is really fun. read more

We were not to be denied. A few days ago went to another hot chicken place but that one is permanently closed now. So rescheduled to come here to try it out. One of three hot chicken places nearby the rest in Dallas/Richardson. Check out photos of interior and food. We got serviced promptly and lots of it. We brought some home as leftovers. Just a few things keep it from 5 stars; no sweetner for ice tea, skimpy napkins (takes too many to clean up), not much for interior decoration. If not ready for hot chicken start with no spice or mild. It takes some getting used to impact on taste buds. read more

Honestly this place was absolutely delicious. Regarding the food itself- 10/10. One of the best hot chicken places we have eaten at. Their sauce is well worth the additional 49 cents each. The pickles are delish, and their chicken is perfect. Not too much, and not too little. I ordered 3 tenders + fries. The fries were delicious and the tenders were huge, I only ended up eating 2. Thankfully the meal came with a sauce but I would have bought an additional sauce had I known. The reason I give this spot a 4 instead of 5 was service. We said for drink we'd like water and didn't receive cups... also when you're exiting and it's a small place it's nice when you hear a "thank you" from the staff. read more
