Ali's Hot Chicken And Smash Burger

My friend ordered a Buffalo ranch chicken sandwich. After paying she saw that it was $38 and asked the teller why it was so expensive, did she order 2 sandwiches on accident. Teller said “oh I thought you just left a generous tip” She told him no can I get a refund but he didn’t think he could, she waited but he basically didn’t know how or wouldn’t refund and cash her out for the correct amount. He apologizes again but it seemed like a grift, we both thought he did it on purpose, he can’t run a business without being able to correct register mistakes. He just didn’t want to correct it. Sandwich was too spicy, $38 for half a sandwich.

I feel ROBBED! Ordered the 3 Nashville tenders. Asked for level 10 heat level. The guy tried to warn me. I’m used to eating at Dave’s hot chicken, so I said heat isn’t a problem. He said okay and put down extra hot heat level 10. The tender finally came out after a very long wait, and it looked like regular basic southern fried tenders you see everywhere else, but with tons of dry powder sprinkled on. No oil to help the powder stick. It wasn’t even a dry rub. Just loose seasoning that gets blown off by the slightest breeze. No spice coating on the bottom of the tenders either. There was barely any heat. I’m talking about mild burn! It doesn’t seem like they understand how spicy food works. Adding a ton of the same mild powder doesn’t make something spicier. You have to actually use hotter ingredients. I was very disappointed. Even a spicy chicken sandwich at kfc or Popeyes is hotter than this place. The chicken was juicy and the crunch with the batter was great. That’s the only reason I’m giving it 2 instead of 1 stars. Still gotta give credit to the chicken quality. But 18 bucks for 3 tenders at a food truck insane. Thats pricier than actual Nashville hot sit down restaurants that have to pay more staff members and overhead rent, like Dave’s or Howlin rays in Los Angeles or Houston hot chicken and so on. If you care about spicy chicken, just save a few bucks and go to Dave’s or even chic fil a for a bigger and cheaper kick.

I ordered their #7 sweet potato chicken sandwich when I was told I could decide my spice level. Im not a spicy person usually but the sweet potatoes sounded really good. I told the guy working that I wanted a 1 spice level (on a scale of 1-10) after I expressed I dont like spice usually and he felt like a 2 would be too much (a 4 is jalapeño level so I thought I could handle a 2 but I went with what he said and did 1.)

After about a 30 minute wait and seeing the guy cook my food, leave, and take a 10 minute bathroom break after I ordered, I got burnt sweet potatoes and a very spicy chicken sandwich. So much that even my tolerant of spice boyfriend was choked up. I decided to continue eating cause I did pay for this food but under the sweet potatoes was a giant glob of spice. I ended up choking on it cause it was no meat, just bright red spice. Id like to think it was an accident but if I was making a sandwich for someone who politely asked for no spice (when its an option) I'd make sure they'd get what they paid for.

The PB&J Chicken Sandwich was AMAZING.

Fabulous! The best Tennessee hot chicken without leaving Hillsboro! Cooked to perfection with fast friendly service even on a hot summer day. Will definitely be back again, it was best we’ve ever had!

Got the Nashville hot chicken and it did not disappoint with a crispy fry, super moist chicken, slaw and sauce balancing the heat. Very kind service and big portions. Got the fries swapped out for tots and they were crisped to perfection.

Super nice guy, order was accurate, added extra pickles after the order was picked up. The burgers were excellent. Fries were great. Even the ketchup in the packets was better than expected. Great food, great service, no complaints. Keep it up! Thank you!

Ordered the loaded Mac and cheese and was asked if I wanted it hot. I said “as hot as possible.” It was bright red and somehow… not hot at all. Just mildly flavored like maybe paprika. Absolutely no salt either. Additionally, the Mac and cheese was completely plain and unseasoned noodles with no cheese or cheese sauce??? There was a couple shreds of cheese on top of the chick but the Mac itself was just plain noodles with literally nothing on them which was the strangest part. For 19$… it was weird.

My brother and my mum were visiting from France and i told them to try smashed burgers. They got the honey chicken and the bacon SM, everything was really good, except that my mum couldn’t eat her chicken , she asked for spicy 1 out of 10, and it ended up being so spicy none of us could eat a single bite. They kindly remade a new burger for us and apologized that they were rushed and poured too much chili. The wait was a bit long but worth it and everything was fresh and tasted as good as it looks!

The Nashville hot chicken sandwich is a top 3 I've ever had!! I'm a southerner and find the fried chicken selections in Hillsboro to be lacking if I'm being nice. This place made my southern soul very happy. Best fried chicken I've had in the Portland area!
