#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.

Chicken and Combo #4 Two Waffles & Two Tenders

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 :)

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!

Slider combo! So good

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!

I learned about this location last year when I visited their Upland location and was curious about…read moreit. The store is very clean and if you pay attention to the floor, you will see how the lines work for ordering and checking out. My son and I went to pick up a few Italian ingredients and get a late lunch. The place is clean and reminds me of the NY Italian stores, because they have people slicing cold cuts, making sandwiches, serving hot meals, and bagging pastries. The store has all sorts of ingredients for your Italian dishes and the freezers have ready made dishes waiting to go into your oven for a quick meal. We took a few things from the freezer and ordered sandwiches and some lunch items. The food was really good and I will return, but with a longer shopping list because it is a little out of my way. I forgot to get pictures, but will get them on my next trip.

A very special Italian mart with all things italian specialty items. I dropped in here on a Friday…read moreafternoon to grab some cannoli's and various sweet treats. Ended up walking out with over a pound of assorted cookies and a dozen cannoli's. They were definitely unique - the cannoli's were freshly made and delicious. Some of the cookies were better than others but overall great. A bit on the pricey side for $18/lb for cookies and around $5 a pop for the large cannoli's. Total cost me just about $100. The staff was so friendly. I told the lady at the bakery section that I was needing about a dozen cannoli's to use as a filling for my wife's birthday cake. And she very quickly asked another staff member in the back to make them fresh. They were ready in just about 5 minutes! While waiting for my order, I browsed the shop and found so much specialty foods. An entire fridge in the back of the shop was filled with various pastas and ready to cook items. Aisles were filled with everything from breads, cooking oils, seasonings, sweets, cheese, wines, etc and etc. The sandwich and deli section filled the front of the house. And they managed to squeeze in a gelato section too. Very nicely designed with undeniable italian feel to it. I will definitely have to come back to try some other items.

I saw a post with from the Nextdoor app of these Crepes, and I have been looking for a local place…read moresince I moved to the area. Why wait...it was 5:45 and I was beyond excited when I saw it was just down the street and closes at 7pm. My family quickly loaded up to go check this place out with me. I ordered The Bambino from the sweet crepe options and it didn't disappoint!! Couldn't stop there and had to try a savory crepe as well. Wow ... it hit the spot, The Santorini was delicious! Not to mention the owners were very sweet, Donna made our Sunday night! Location is great and the cafe is very inviting and warm. Hope you get a chance to go check this place out!!

Used to try Crepes in Vegas, Paris hotel was the best. The main purpose was yogurt land per my boy…read morerequested. , but the Donna's crepes & panini caught my eyes and I want to give a try. Ordered just one for the first time. It's very delicious, the crepe was super soft and flavorful, I like it a lot. However, one suggestion, it would be better if they could have separated a little cup for ice cream when to go order. Ice cream was melted quickly as we arrived home, and watery down all over the crepe. Great welcomed service and beautiful ambiance, a great verdict, I need to revisit to try the Dubai Chocolate. That's their new menu at time I was there, it was not available just yet.

Kitchen open late

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.

Sunday evening around 11:30 PM -- the hours are accurate. They stay open late, even on Sundays…read more This was my first time here and I decided to stop by while passing through the neighborhood. I ordered the beef kabab gyro and seasoned fries. Total came out to $22.26 after taxes, plus a $2.70 tip. Staff were friendly, the dining area was clean, and although no one was dining in at the time, there were plenty of pickup orders coming through. Unfortunately, the food simply sucked and I didn't even finish. The fries tasted like they were cooked in old oil -- you could tell by the dark coloring and overall taste. The gyro was small, expensive for the portion and quality, and the taste was just okay at best. I believe this is a franchise, but I personally won't be trying it again. Let's just say I was upset that I had not gone to the Jack in the Box in the same plaza instead -- and that's not something I'd normally choose to eat.
