Al's Hot Chicken 10821 Venice Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90034

"I usually order from the SM location but delivery defaults to this location when I'm home. I've ordered several times from the Venice location, and there was always a problem. I ordered several combos and they always seem to forget something or are purposely being stingy. My mom and request extra seasoning on our fries and for good measure, will ask for some on the side, because they never apply the extra seasoning to the fries. The last delivery from them, I asked the delivery driver to see if they'd give him a small container on the side and they said they put it in the bag. They didn't and they didn't add the extra seasoning to the fries either. You'd think I'm asking for the winning lottery ticket when it comes to asking for a side of fry seasoning. If I'm spending a minimum of $35, the least they could do is get my order right or give the side of seasoning. I'll only order from the SM location even if it means driving to go get it."

"I ordered combo #2 which comes with two sandwiches and two fries. The spice level I got was hot and it was definitely spicy. I love spicy food so this was perfect for me but if you don’t like spice, get mild. The employees were really nice! Plenty of parking in the back. Plenty of seating indoors and outdoors."

"I’ve been to the other Al’s and wanted to check this one out because it was closer. Great spot, a lot bigger and a patio area for outside seating. I ordered the half chicken at a medium level spice. At medium spice it was very delicious but got me sweating a lot. It was a very satisfying meal with a whole lot of fries. I had the ranch and honey sauces. The chicken was cooked perfectly but the exterior skin parts were a little hard but still overall great half chicken. Finished it off with a Diet Coke & I highly recommend this spot if you’re in town."

"Was so good! I had tried another hot chicken joint just up the street a few months prior that left something to be desired. Al's was my 2nd hot chicken experience and it hit the trifecta delivering in freshness, value, and flavor (my kingdom for a spicy mole sauce, guys!!). Criticisms? Could use more slaw and the sheer amount of fries are totally unnecessary as you'll need to save room. I'm eager to go back and sample the menu."
