Nice, LARGE portions. Great combo options of chicken + catfish. Okra is excellent and crispy! Andre was an attentive and hard worker. read more

Yes, Yes, Yes! Their chicken is so dang good. Their fish is so dang good. I will admit, of all reviews, the least of them would be "soul food". I'm so happy a friend told me about this establishment, actually, a fellow Yelper. Their chicken is so fresh, and the crunch you get with every bite, every seasoned bite....Heaven! Their fried fish is the same. They use real catfish, whereas some places claim you're getting catfish, but you're actually getting Swai at the same price. I like the fact that they have an à la carte menu. I can get a piece of chicken with a side, without overdoing it with the fried foods. If you haven't given them a try, please do!! Note: Make sure you check out their schedule before going, they're not open every day. read more

Arlanderz Chicken Joint - Chicken Shop Near Me - Bedford, Texas

Walked in and was welcomed. He was as very friendly and explained everything to me. I ordered the 1 catfish and 2 pieces chicken with sides I add hush puppies. The fish was fried to perfection and man the chicken was seasoned so well had a nice crispy skin. The Mac and cheese were so creamy. The hush puppies were delicious. The greens were perfect. I definitely want to try the sweet potato next time. I will try more when I go back. Yes I will go back it was like someone grandma was back there cooking. Come to find out the guy who took my order was the owner. He explained to me that he had opened up the restaurant and his grandma taught him how to cook. read more

The catfish fillets were fresh, perfectly seasoned, cooked to order, not greasy. The mac & cheese was cheesy and moist, wonderful flavor. The greens were seasoned with smoked turkey (I believe). After trying several places in the area, this will be my go-to spot for catfish. Looking forward to trying other items on the menu. Try Arlanderz! You won't be disappointed! read more

This. Place. Is. It. Thats all! The food is delicious I didn't want to stop eating so I didn't take any pics. I ordered the three piece meal. My sides were collard greens, mac and cheese, and yams. Everything was delicious. My mouth is watering writing this review lol. I told the guy at the front it was my first time and he was patient and kind. The space was adorable and clean. Very welcoming. I plan to come here whenever I'm craving fried chicken and sides. I have found my spot! read more

I actually saw a number of reviews and wanted to also check this BOB spot out for myself. It was about 13 miles away from where I was originally. So Why not go to grab some soulfulness and give my best review. I can't say enough good things about this establishment. Andre was there at the counter with a bubbly and inviting smile. He gave me a paper menu which was much more helpful than squinting at the menu hanging towards the ceiling. Andre also let it be known that I'll be 20 minutes for our food. I can't LIE. Our Catfish was fresh fresh, the yams, collards, cornbread muffin, and my two slices of white bread were ALL tastefully prepared with SOUL, and LOVE. I also heard a number of customers compliment the inside of the dining area. The restaurant was recently renovated. I'm not quite sure How it looked beforehand but we truly enjoyed our food and dining experience. 9/10 I give this spot ( a piece of my Catfish could've been cooked a tad bit longer. I'll definitely return again, thats for sure. Thanks for the beautiful customer service Andre. This man was doing his THANG all by himself at the front. I noticed that he also would go back to the back kitchen area to assist as well. I'm assuming that there was another human behind the kitchens double doors though. His kids were also in the restaurant. One son, seemed to be learning the hospitality skills. I was looking to see if they had WiFi and Yes they do for customers. The little guy (had to be under 5 years of age) ran back to ask his Father, Did we have free WiFi? It was such a beautiful sight to see the kid watching and wanting to help his Daddy work. What's that old phrase my Granny, and Grand Daddy use to say, "Train up a child as you want him to go." That's what I was witnessing in present time. Awesome job, Andre was multitasking, and kept his cool. A lotta men can't handle running back and forth from the register, cashiering, customer service, and hospitality. Then being a gourmet chef in the kitchen all in one room. I'm impressed, thanks for Great food, Service, and overall Excellent food. read more

The food is great for the most part. My only complaints: - they frequently run out of items. It's 5:55 and they told me they are out of sweet potatoes. A couple of days ago it was the Mac. This has happened many times and prevented me from ordering. - sometimes the chicken skin get soggy in the way home. It might be from the juices of the sweet potatoes leaking onto it. Or how they pack it. - chicken breast is often pretty dry. So I stick with dark meat. - lastly. I wish they would expand a bit an add tenders or chicken sandwiches. Overall a great meal when they have items in stock. read more

My faith in almighty GOD has been restored because of how dang good this food is. It's almost as if the ancestors are patting your back saying, " It's all right now, baby, eat on up! You're doing good!" Chicken is fresh, juicy, lightly seasoned, and crispy. Mac and cheese is creamy, ad the collard greens are unctuous and just salty enough. That catfish is crispy and hot! How they make it FRESH to order every time is unbelievable. Amazing service! read more

The food was amazing, the service was great, it takes about 20 minutes after you place your order because everything is made to order. The fried chicken was fantastic with a delicious flavor and great crunch. The fried catfish was fresh and an awesome seasoning added to the batter made it all the better, the oakra, and sweet potatoes were equally as good. The restaurant has a very generic atmosphere which lets you know all the attention is on the food and not trying to bring customers in based off looks, its all about the food quality. Definitely recommend trying this place. read more

Arlanderz Chicken Joint - Fried catfish, fried chicken, fried okra and sweet potatoes... Mmmmm sooo good! - Chicken Shop Near Me - Bedford, Texas

The food was delicious! The chicken was fresh and the batter was 10/10. We also loved the yams, mac and cheese (deliciously peppered), okra and hush puppies. The okra and hush puppies were so good we had to go back to them for a midnight snack! The service was super friendly and the manager came out, without us asking, to change the tvs to some toddler movies for our little one. She was dancing in the booth with a mouthful of yams. The place seems to be more of a takeout restaurant, but their booths are nice and clean. My only criticisms are the white bread slice (I know it's traditional for a lot of people, but it's not my favorite) and the lack of access to plates and cutlery. Overall we loved it and will be back!! read more

Although they do not have a consistent cashier, I was greeted by a wonderful man with a huge smile & Happy to answer my questions! Being from Chicago, I have high expectations for fried chicken & When I say this is some of the BEST I've ever had!!!!!!!!! & when I was looking at the screen they have that shows pictures of the food, I saw a saucy wing. I asked about it & was told it was their house sauce that is sweet & spicy, I asked for it to be added & I'm glad I did!! It reminds me of a "mild sauce" but honestly, it's the best one I've had! The macaroni & cheese + yams also hit the spot! The Mac is very rich, creamy & flavorful. The yams I was honestly skeptical about because I didn't see any cinnamon or brown sugar (my favorite toppings), I was worried about the flavor. But I promise, I was NOT disappointed!! Listen, whenever you're in the area, go ahead & bless yourself with this food from the soul. I'm already planning my next visit read more

Arlanderz Chicken Joint - Chicken Shop Near Me - Bedford, Texas

No Swai fish here! A few years back, local HEB area restaurants started importing a fish from Vietnam as a substitute for catfish. It's known as Swai. It was cheaper and many restaurants started using it. I can tell you there is a difference. My wife and her sister came home one day and said that our local catfish restaurant was serving a "catfish" imported from Vietnam called Swai.. They said it was inedible. Thinking they were "catfish snobs" my son and I went to check it out. If you could see my belly, you'd see there isn't much I find inedible. I have to admit they were correct. When we couldn't find anyone that continued serving good-old US farm raised catfish, we were forced to drive to Arlington to get our catfish fix at Catfish Sams. (Great place!) Not anymore... Arlanderz Chicken Joint, 2816 Central Drive, Suite 18 Bedford, TX, 817/508-0085 is serving the real thing. We're back eating catfish in Hurst-Euless-Bedford! Arlanderz is known as a "chicken joint" but don't let that stop you from trying their catfish. They have homemade veggies including yams, Cole slaw, fries, greens, and mac & cheese. I love this place. While we always order catfish we also order a piece of chicken for late night snack or lunch the next day. You have to order early bc they close at 7:00. They don't start cooking your food until you order so it may take 20 minutes to prepare but everything is hot and fresh. I'd post a picture but by the time I take it there is nothing but an empty container. HIGHLY RECCOMMENDED Arlanderz Chicken Joint 2816 Central Drive Suite 180 Bedford, TX 817/508-0085 read more

Fantastic. Kind and courteous with a quality meal. Proteins are fried to perfection, great flavor, sides are gold. I can see where someone might want some more meat on the chicken but it's pretty hard to complain. Even caught a movie I'd been wanting to see while I ate my meal. 20 minutes on the dot from order, as promised. Call ahead if taking out. read more

Best fried chicken in the metroplex. It's a little out-of-the-way for us, but we still go because I love the flavor and service. won't regret lunch or read more

First review of 2024! My lady and I decided to try a new restaurant once a month this year. Arlanderz was first in the list as we desired some fried chicken with fixins. The food was so-so, nothing about this meal left me with that wow factor. They definitely have potential with a few minor adjustments, but for the most part, it was something new. Roni's pick Pros Reasonable prices Healthy portion sizes Prepared to order (fresh &hot) Decent wait time Solid customer service Collards flavorful & tender Chicken crispy Cons Macaroni is under seasoned Chicken is under seasoned read more

The food is consistently GREAT!!! My family loves the food, especially the catfish plates. My dad is old school and he says that the greens hit the mark, not a maybe but a 100%! When you enter the joint you can feel the family love! Thank you Arlanderz family for sharing your family recipes that taste like our Big Mama was in the kitchen fixing us a home cooked meal!

Just had take out from there for the first time. One word: Legit! Had the 4 piece with Mac n cheese & okra as my sides. Everything was top notch. Fried chicken was crispy, tasty, and super juicy! Mac n cheese is super cheesy, love it! We will be back SOON! read more

I don't know where this place has been the entire 5 years I've lived in TX BUT I'm glad I stumbled upon it today!!! All my husband and I could do was chew and shake our heads!!! This food hit the spot! It was hot, fresh, and seasoned. I don't think you can beat the price anywhere. The portion size was great too!!! The man was kind and very patient! There aren't many seats on the inside. 100 out of 10!!!! read more

First of all, the food here is amazing. Hand down some of the best fried chicken and catfish I've had in the DFW area! The pieces are really well fried, flavorful, and juicy. The Mac and cheese was appropriately cheesy and was well seasoned, and the okra was also good (although I wish it could've been a bit better). The portions are big enough to split with another person or save some for a second meal. Don't be fooled, the food is so good but it is rich and heavy! The place itself is super tiny and most people took their food to go. There is a wait to get the food so order in advance. This is not a sit down restaurant or a place to bring a large group. For this purpose, I really wouldn't recommend it for lunch for a group. But if bringing back to place of work, then it's ok. As far as value, I thought it was a bit on the high side, I think I paid around $25 (I tipped although I took away) for lunch. Next time, I would rather order a la carte and share with a group of people. read more

Arlanderz is superb! I've frequented this restaurant several times over the years. The owner and his wife are very hospitable and kind. I drive from Las Colinas to have amazing southern cuisine with authentic and fresh ingredients. My husband and I generally the chicken wings, fried fish, collard greens and mac and cheese. I highly recommend Arlanderz. read more

Great service, fresh food and good portions. Fish was hot and crispy, good flavor on the collards. Great soul food for the area.

Food was amazing! I ordered the catfish and chicken combo that came with 2 sides. I got Mac n cheese and greens! Omg everything was flavorful! Can't wait to go back soon! read more

If you haven't eaten at Arlanderz's you should be ashamed in yourself and the chicken you've consumed in the past. There was a big ol foot put into this meal and I loved every bite. For you Yankees out there that's a good thing. If you prefer subpar fish and chicken cooked a few hours prior to you ordering then by all means go to KFC/Popeyes but if you want the best give these guys a try. The only thing better than the food is the people that work here. Simply amazing! read more

Okay ladies and gents...specifically my Bedford / Mid Cities peeps. It has been a long time coming, but finally we've got some solid FLAVOR now in this area! Arlanderz is delivering the WOW with some yummy greens, mac and cheese...sweet potatoes, and fried goodness! Every once in a while I will get a hankering for some fried bird but as we know not all chicken spots are created equal. But I'll be a frequent patron of this place! Talk about home grown food made with love. Love that this blessed family moved to Texas to start an eatery here. It is a pick up and go type of place, but you may order a la carte or family dinners to go. The fried chicken has the perfect flavor, not overly done on the batter...but done JUST RIGHT. How chicken should be done! Cannot wait to try many more items here and I have my eye on the banana pudding for dessert next time. Thank you!!! Please support this local, wonderful Black owned establishment! read more

Arlanderz Chicken Joint - Now this my friends, is a grade *A* SOLID cheat meal!! - Chicken Shop Near Me - Bedford, Texas

I was looking for a new place to eat and this place popped up.It's basically carry out only.It's small inside with a picnic table to sit and wait for your order.The food is made to order and it will take 15 to 20 minutes for your order.I ordered the two piece chicken with a piece of catfish.The two sides I got were greens and Mac and cheese.Lets start off with the sides.The Mac and cheese was creamy and pretty tasty.The greens were also good too.Now the catfish was the star of the show.It was fried to perfection and light and flaky.I really liked the catfish.Now the chicken I was a little disappointed.The leg was really small and the chicken was a little dry.For some reason I found myself chewing on the second piece of chicken like a cow.My jaw got a little sore from eating it.Overall it was pretty solid and I would come back for the catfish.Now the chicken I'm not so sure? read more

Placed a large pickup order (to feed 8). The food was ready in under 30 minutes and all was still warm by the time it got to the house. The customer service was great and food packed with care. The food was delicious and flavorful. The chicken was incredible and the catfish is a must get. Highly recommend Arlanderz anytime in the HEB area. read more

Small business very friendly customer service food was hot which is great. My first time here this will be a regular stop for me

Honestly the food is nasty and not worth the price disgracing that picture on the wall

Man this place is THEE PLACE! Fried chicken ain't done right unless it's done here. Perfect crispy and juicy chicken good sizes on the sides. You have to try this place or you will be missing out! Even other customers had great things to say while I was there. A real Mom & Pop stop friendly people great service they have it all here.
