    Mac and cheese side
    Allee M.

    Tried Al's for the first time tonight and loved it ! The Mac and cheese was so flavorful, the fry seasoning was yummy, and we really enjoyed the chicken &sauces! We will definitely be back!

    Combo 3: 2 tender country style w/ fries

    In search for tenders Mac n cheese bowl & decided to try this place out. Since they're fairly new, they are understaffed. I would suggest placing an order online before visiting the establishment. They completed our order in 30 mins, had to remake the loaded bowl bc we asked for no sauce & that was another 30 mins. Aside from that, staff were nice & very apologetic. I had the x hot tender & it wasn't hot at allllll for me (I have a high tolerance for spice though) the seasoning had some sweetness which I did enjoy. They were a good size, moist & had a nice crunch. the Mac n cheese is very saucey, cheesy & creamy it was delicious! the fries, my favorite, were crunchy & well seasoned.

    1 Piece Tender 1 Piece Sandwich Fries

    Nice elevator music playing as you walk in. Instantly greeted by the host/cook of the restaurant. Got our food within 10 mins of ordering. I got the waffle sandwich combo which is the first time I've had a chicken/waffle combo I had it at a medium spice wow I've been missing out it's amazing. My friend had the sandwich/tender combo her sandwich was and the tender was at spice level as well as the loaded fries! What isn't pictured is Al's Mac n cheese. That was also really great tasting. If you're looking to try different hot chicken spots this is a good one. Fast service and great food!

    Watery tasteless Mac and cheese

    We waited 54 min for nasty, dry and tasteless food. It was such a disappointment since we had been waiting for this place to open. The service is terrible. The cashier grabbed my card with sauce all over his glove which then got all over my card. The place is very dirty and disgusting in the back that it's no wonder they build the Great Wall of Al's to block customers view of how they are preparing our food. I ended up letting our dinner for that night finish thawing out and made dinner when we got home since our $70 worth of food was so inedible. DONT WASTE YOUR TIME!

    In-N-Out Burger is a classic fast food chain that has built its reputation around keeping things…read moresimple: burgers, fries, and shakes made fresh to order. We walked into a clean, casual space with a quick-service atmosphere that makes it easy to stop in for a straightforward meal. The menu is intentionally limited compared to many modern burger spots, but that simplicity is part of the appeal, and the layout of the restaurant reflects that focus on efficiency and consistency. The main highlight is the burger. The patties are cooked fresh, the ingredients taste noticeably simple and balanced, and the overall flavor comes from the combination rather than complicated toppings. We ordered the Double-Double, the signature order, and found it gave a good balance of beef, cheese, and classic toppings that came together cleanly. The Animal Style option adds grilled onions, extra spread, and mustard-cooked patties, which gives the burger a richer flavor profile and is worth trying if you want the more famous version. The patties have a good sear, and the produce is fresh and crisp, providing a clean contrast to the richness of the meat and cheese. The fries are usually the most debated part of the experience. They are made from fresh-cut potatoes, which gives them a different texture than typical fast food fries. Ordering them Animal Style with cheese, grilled onions, and sauce is a popular way to make them more flavorful, since the regular fries can feel a little plain depending on preference. We tried them both ways and found the Animal Style version adds the richness needed to elevate the fries into something more substantial. The shakes are also a solid addition, especially as a simple pairing with the burger and fries, offering a classic, creamy finish to the meal. Service is generally efficient, even when the lines look long. The staff works quickly to keep orders moving, and the made-to-order style means there can sometimes be a short wait compared to other fast food chains. The team handles the steady flow with a practiced rhythm, and the open kitchen adds a layer of transparency that fits the brand's straightforward approach. The locations can get extremely busy, especially in areas where In-N-Out is newer, so peak hours may require some patience, but the turnover is fast enough that the wait does not feel excessive. In-N-Out delivers exactly what it promises: a simple, fresh, and affordable burger experience. It may not have the biggest menu or the most creative options, but the consistency, value, and classic style are what make it stand out. It is a place that works best when you are looking for a reliable burger rather than a complicated one, and the quality of the ingredients and the efficiency of the service ensure that the experience remains dependable across visits.

I ordered my usual char-broiled double cheeseburger, fries, and onion rings, which never disappoints. I also decided to try the char-grilled Maxwell street Polish sausage with sport peppers and cheese sauce. Unfortunately, the Polish sausage was underwhelming, and the cheese sauce tasted like canned cheese from a dollar store. Both are items I wouldn't order again in the future. The customer service continues to be top-notch, and ordering through the kiosk was fast and easy.

I really enjoyed the beef sandwich and I always get it baptize. I like to order extra dipping sauce with it so I can just drown it haha. My favorite are the hot dogs, which is what they are know for. I love the chicago style dogs and I love adding ketchup and mustard to my hot dogs. For the side I really enjoy getting a side of cheese and dipping my fries into it, thank me later. The onion rings are also worth a mention, they are well made, crispy and full of flavor. I also had their shakes before and they were pretty good. I once had their chocolate cake and it was very rich in flavor and not dry at all like other cakes. I always eat in the diner because I love how they have decorated the space. It reflects the history of the city of Arlington. It is a mix of car decor honoring the GM plant and part of the decor is also bowling, to honor the national bowling museum and headquarters located in arlington. I love how its so big and spacious. They also sell beer but I never purchase any but thats a cool concept. The staff keeps the place nice and clean, i love how they say your order number and make it rhyme with something. Example 'order #9 is time to dine"
