The Toughest Reservations In Philly Right Now (And How To Get Them) - Philadelphia - The Infatuation

"Verdict: Our favorite chicken sandwich is in the Northeast, and judging by the daily crowds, it’s a citywide feeling. The halal food truck has sublimely crispy chicken tenders and sliders that are so good that people happily line up next to a gas station just to eat them. From the toasty brioche bun to the thick cut of juicy meat covered in a peppery seasoning, it’s a sandwich that you have to have. The best time of day to head to Asad’s is between noon and 5pm on a weekday. Once the evening hits or when it’s the weekend, we suggest bringing a friend and having a car nearby so you can tag-team the line WWE style." - candis mclean

The 20 Best Spots In Northeast Philly

"The best chicken sandwich in Philly is right next to a gas station. That’s where you’ll find Asad’s Hot Chicken, which generally has a line so long you’d think they were giving away free gas. The toasty brioche bun and thick cut of juicy meat covered in peppery seasoning makes a sandwich worth zig-zagging through the hellish traffic on Cottman Ave. The roadside halal stand also doubles as a fresh juice and smoothie place, so balance out the fiery chicken with a strawberry-banana smoothie. The best time of day to head to Asad’s is between noon and 5pm on a weekday. Once the evening hits or when it’s the weekend, we suggest bringing a friend and having a car nearby so you can tag-team the line WWE style." - candis mclean

Philadelphia's Best New Dishes Of 2022

"Hot Chicken Sandwich From the years between Sixers championships to our penchant for hazard lights over actual parking, Philadelphians are used to waiting. But unlike those other holdups, the 30-minute wait at Asad’s Hot Chicken in the Northeast will result in a food-inspired trance. The chicken sandwich comes on a brioche bun that serves as an excellent pillow for the thick cut of juicy meat, crisp-fried and covered in a pepper glaze and pickles. It’s a combination of crunchiness, creaminess, and spice that flawlessly melds together so well that even the most impatient person in your group will truly look forward to standing around.

Tried Asad’s Hot Chicken for the first time and ordered the loaded fries with chicken — seriously good! The fries were crispy, topped with juicy, spicy chicken, cheese, and sauces that packed a flavorful punch. Portion size was great too. Will definitely come back to try the sliders next time!

Slider and loaded fries are definitely a must get here. I finally made it here after a year of not wanting to stand in line for an hour (that's how it usually is here unless you order ahead of time online). The food did not disappoint and I got banana pudding for later. Atmosphere gets 2 stars only because it's outside a gas station.

Their food is so delicious! I bought this on Uber eats at 1230am and it was still so fresh and hot when delivered! The fries were so crispy even smothered in cheese! The chicken tenders are HUGE! AND full of white meat! So good!!

I’ve been wanting to try this place since I’ve move into the area. Lines and crowds always kept me away. Not today, after a long day I just didn’t want to go home and cook. My husband and I finally decided to go. I’m so glad we did. We did wait about 15-20 minutes for our food but we were not disappointed. So I got the number 2 thinking that these were actually slider size, nope this was definitely a lot of food and could be shared. My husband ordered the number 6 and he said the same thing about his meal. All in all I would be back and I do recommend. Order online if possible to minimize your wait time.

I can’t rate the food because I never got my dinner. I ordered three meals through GrubHub and when the order came, there was only one when I tried to call Asad to let them know that I did not get two of my meals. I called repeatedly and nobody answered. I kept getting voicemail full. When I contacted GrubHub. They were able to only refund me the cost of the meals, but not the fees and the tip that I had to give I re-ordered. I waited over an hour to find out that my order was canceled because someone else picked up my food. The fact that I cannot contact Asad’s to try to figure out what this problem is a disgrace. Someone should be able to answer their phones. The first order I believe was wrong because of the way Asad’s printed out the receipt. Did they really think that I was getting one meal for $66? I can also share the multiple times I attempted to call with no answer. If you gave my replacement meal to the wrong driver, you should have made that right. I’m disappointed because I have been a big Asad’s customer.

Awesome good food that will make your day and excellent service takes little time to get your order but totally worth it 👌.

This place is definitely over hyped. Between waiting in line to order and to get the food took about 30-40 mins. The gentleman who took my order was very nice. I ordered the #2 which comes with 2 sliders and fries the only extra that I requested was cheese on my fries and asked for the hot option. The sliders looked and tasted good and spicy. The fries tasted not bad but nothing out of the ordinary. Overall this place is about a 7 out of 10.

I tried Asad's for the first time early in the afternoon about 2 months ago. I told the guy it was my first time, and the food they handed me just looked amazing. Absolutely delicious too, with some sort of russian dressing like sauce on it, plus an extra little cup. Perfect. I came back at night a few weeks later and the place was packed. The (different) guy running the counter was clearly overworked, and was ignoring people. When I told him I just wanted a slider, he said "2 sliders". Then I said, "no, just one". I didn't bother checking the receipt until after I get my food, and was surprised when I saw 2 sliders in the bag and that I had been charged for 2. Trying to ask for a refund there felt difficult with such a long line. So I decided I wouldn't be back for awhile and would check out other places. Well, I tried another place and it didn't compare. And Asad's is on my route to work. So a couple nights ago I broke down and had a craving for that delicious slider again. This time I decided to order from their website to avoid any issues of any type. Cool, ordered at 9:35 with a pickup time of 9:55pm. I get there, wait an extra 10 minutes in my car until 10:05pm to give them plenty of time because they are busy, then get to the line. My number was 304, the screen said now serving 308. Perfect. The line is long so I try to avoid it by saying, "picking up for 304". The guy at the counter ignores me. I have to go to the back of the line and wait about 5 more minutes. Finally get to the front of the line and the guy realizes my order was never made. I will say that he did seem upset, but more like he was angry someone messed up rather that than I had to wait. He tells me they will start making it now. Another 10 minutes go by. No updates. A car drives by with a muffler that sounds like a machine gun. I'm wearing my worst clothes because I didn't think I'd have to be out in public long. No one gives me any updates on my food. I start to wonder if they forgot about me. This sucks. Finally the guy apologizes and gives me the sandwich. Once again, the sandwich looks and tastes great (I actually ordered 2 this time). But the service just sucks. This place needs to learn how to walk before they start running. Now, it's a very tiny place, so maybe it's just hard to run due to how popular they are. Still, good managers know that customer service is everything. I will probably go back one more time in an afternoon to give them one last chance. Such a shame. Delicious food and really nice branding. They need to up their customer service game and come up with a plan for picking up your order without standing in line if you ordered online or missed it when they call it out. They have the delivery drivers come to the side door, so there's an idea.

This place commenced the hot chicken craze in Philadelphia. It's a small building in a gas station parking alot. Only takeout is available but it's a well run establishment. Clean and efficient. Food is tasty. Chicken always seems fresh and it's reasonably priced. Worth a try.

When I say I order from here at least once a week, I'm not exaggerating! I LOVE IT HERE. This is the last place I ever thought I'd become attached to. I never had any interest in hot chicken. One day, I was reading reviews about the loaded fries, and I randomly decided to get them and the rest is history! I buy Asad's sauce in an 8oz container because it's delicious- I put it on everything. Great flavor. With a little kick but not too much to where it isn't enjoyable. The chicken is always fresh. Way better than Chick Fil A or any of those places. Also put some honey on your sandwich and loaded fries. It brings it home! I recommend their food to everyone. Delicious.

I decided to try their food because I hear so many great things about them. The line always being long helps solidify that the food must be good. First of all, I NEVER seen a chicken finger this big, size of my hand. I'm going to be honest, I was skeptical but it had flavor throughout, seasoned well. The fries were perfect and in my opinion, the sauce can make or break a meal. The sauce just added to the great flavors. Now, if you have G. I problems, stay away. The sauce is good but is will create a small fire in the pit of your stomach. I will give them 8/10.

Asad's is pretty good, but for my money, Dave's Hot Chicken is better and that's where you will find me when a crave spicy chicken.

I now get the hype. The chicken sandwich is top notch. Perfectly & fried seasoned, great level of spice (I went with hot, and it had just the right kick). Really juicy chicken, and their Asad's sauce is killer! Taste great on the sandwich, but is also a supreme dipping sauce for fries. We even tried their strawberry pudding, because...have you ever heard of strawberry budding? They also had banana, and low and behold, it was essentially that with strawberries. Still very good and a nice portion. If you are more sensitive to heat/spice, this is a great add-on to cool things down. You have to be careful with parking. It is a busy corner and in the mix with a gas station. If you can, I'd recommend parking in the joint mall parking lot and taking a short walk to the stand. Only issue with our first visit was how long it took to get the food. I expected this to be a pretty quick turnaround. There were only a couple people in front of us by the time we got in line. They were on order 45, we were order 50, and we had to wait in our car for 30 minutes to get it. Was it worth the wait for a first visit? Yeah I guess so, but unless that's fixed, I wouldn't travel all the way back to get it. Don't get me wrong, its up there when it comes to nashville hot fried chicken, but it's not in it's own stratosphere compared to Popeyes or Chick Fil A. I would however, consider ordering on grubhub or something and picking it up. I saw a lot of people doing that, but I am sure that is the cause for hold ups. Either way, it is a cool experience and I give them props for having such a desirable business in an unusual location. If you haven't been, I'd recommend the drive. If you are a local to that neighborhood, this is easily a meal every month.

Stopped at Asad's FINALLY! One thing I can really rock with is that they have a screen with the current order number in the front of the store and on the side (so those of us who wait in the car can know if our food is up). The line was long but the wait wasn't too long. The real wait is for your food lol. The food. I wasn't blown away. The chicken sandwich didn't really have any flavor to it, even with the sauce on it. My tender (singular tender) was okay and large as all get out. The sauce was mayochup (mayo and ketchup) and I can't lie I'd rather some more pizazz for my chicken.

Absolutely terrible. Slop. I would highly recommend not going here. I've been dying to try it here because of the hype and now I'm sitting here reflecting on how I just ate what I ate. I feel disgusted.

Finally made it to Asad's!!! I've had this spot bookmarked for a minute. Line wasn't long when we got there after shopping, but it got long quickly after. Menu is clear and my first try I we t mild lol. Easy order process and not long of a wait for the order which was nice. The fact is after eating it I'd wait however long. It lived up to the hype and I appreciate that!!! I got the #1 Slider with fries. Glad I got the one because this is really a chicken sandwich. I was expecting a slider size and Asad's said this IS slider size. A healthy chicken tender with pickles, cheese, Cole slaw and special sauce. The bread was nicely toasted and it all was perfect and the mild heat was enough for me. Nice kick, I may bold up next order. The fries were nice and crisp and tasted FRESH. That's important, 'cause most places forget the fries. Mango Lahsi was nice, can't wait to try the other juice bar options. Go and enjoy!

Asad's was a 10/10 experience as a whole! The line wasn't too long and it moved fairly quick. The cashier was nice. I will say bundle up just incase the line is long being that it is a food truck. I wasn't that hungry when I arrived so I got a single slider and mango lassi to try it. I was thinking their sliders were small because usually sliders are, but these are not! These are full chicken sandwiches. I wasn't mad at it. The sandwich had pickles, coleslaw and cheese. The only reason I didn't give them 5 stars was because it wasn't the best chicken I've ever had. My slider had 2 pieces of chicken and kept falling apart and it also needed a sauce. The Lassi was great!

My chicken sandwich was amazing! The service was good. It's a takeout place so no vibe to mention. I will say that I had Asad's at their Knights Road location and it was truly awesome.

Listen, out of all the places to get chicken at a gas station, Asads Hot Chicken is #1. I'm being tongue in cheek here, but seriously, their chicken is good. You DO have to get over the fact that they ARE, literally, a trailer, parked in a gas station, but if you eat the food, you probably won't mind anymore. I've seen this place get pretty crowded, but when we went, it wasn't much of a wait. We DID order ahead online, so that probably helped, but there were only 2-3 other people when we went at lunch time during the week. It certainly ain't cheap, as the one slider meal (w/fries) runs about $10, but you will at least be getting some good chicken. Also, through some luck or sorcery, my dining companion had the option to upgrade his fries to loaded fries for a $1, which is the hookup of the century. Definitely do that, if you see the same option online! Shit, ask them at the window. The loaded fries looked AMAZING. ANYWHO, the meal was delicious, with customizable spice levels. The workers were surprisingly polite. I wasn't expecting much from a shipping container in a gas station on Cottman Ave, but I was pleasantly surprised at the use of "sir," "please" and "thank you." I will definitely be back. In fact, I think I'm going to go there Friday, when I'm back in the city.

First Time Here. I went around 7:30 PM on a Friday night. It wasn't that busy. Food: 4.5 Stars out of 5 Stars - I got the chicken slider and tender platter with fries - no cheese and coleslaw on my slider, and mild. The fries were crispy and delicious. The chicken sandwich was the right level of spiciness for me (I cannot handle too much spice), good sauce, delicious bun, and delectable chicken. The chicken tender (which I believe is the same chicken in the sauce) was still delicious by itself and it is a pretty big piece. Overall wonderful food. The cost of it would be on the slightly higher end but not too bad. Service 3 Stars out of 5 Stars. Service is average. The cashier was not friendly but was not rude. My order had 3 items and one item was missing a tender. Luckily I checked before I left. Hopefully this is not a common occurrence. The place has nice decor on the outside. it's great that they have a device that calls the order number that is ready to be picked up. An improvement would to have a separate window for pickup instead of the same window for ordering and pickup. I can only imagine how bad it gets when it gets busy. One last thing to note is that if you ask for things on the side, they charge you for it. I would come back again.

JDub and I had been hearing about this fried chicken joint located at a gas station. We decided to try it. So on August 9, 2023, we decided to do just that. It was a little crowded when we arrived, but we were able to place our order in a reasonable amount of time. I chose Number 1 -- 1 Slider (with cheese, coleslaw, pickles) with Fries and Asad's sauce. I asked for NO S P I C E and the sandwich was still super spicy (to me). The chicken, however, was juicy and well seasoned. Same for the fries. JDub chose 2 Tenders with Fries -- Served with 2 slices of bread, pickles and Asad's sauce. JDub loved his meal and said we have to go back and try the rest of the menu.. We didn't get any drinks because the only choice appeared to be smoothies ?!? The wait time for our food wasn't too bad. Not much of an ambiance because it's quite literally at the gas station. Due to the area, it was as loud as could be expected. Would definitely return.

Worth the hype. I went to Asad's Hot Chicken on a Sunday afternoon and waited 10 minutes to order. The line was 7 people in front of me and stayed around 5-10 people the whole time I was there. After ordering, the food took another half hour. They give you a ticket number and have a digital ticker on the building that shows the current order number. They brought out 2 or 3 orders at a time, about every 10 minutes or so. I ordered the #4 since I wanted to try both the slider and the chicken tender. There's 5 heat levels, ranging from no spice to reaper. I went for "hot" which is the level in the middle. It was a good level of spice, the kind that makes your nose water a little but doesn't overwhelm the food. The chicken itself was cooked perfectly: juicy and tender meat with a crispy breaded outside. It also came with a good amount of seasoned fries and their "secret sauce" (similar to spicy mayo). The #4 came with one tender, one slider, and fries for $11.99. It might not seem like a lot of food but the tender was huge and the slider was more like a burger size. If I hadn't been starving it would've been enough for 2 meals. There's no place to sit and eat since Asad's is located in the parking lot of a gas station, but that wasn't a problem since I drove and ate in my car.

Asad's isn't a bad option if your in the mood to try another spicy chicken place. They advertise it as a Nashville hot chicken rather than the Cajun Style that's been popular in the area. The location is very small, I can't believe they fit around five to six people inside the building! The wait was about ten minutes for my food and there is no place to eat (sitting on a curb or inside your car are the fastest options). The good news is the parking lot next door is extremely large so there is plenty of room for you to park and eat in your car if you have to. The staff was friendly and quick, they have a digital sign with order numbers to inform you when your ready to pickup your food. I went simple and tried a hot tender plus a smoothie. On their heat scale you can go from no spice, to mild, then hot, extra hot and reaper. One tender was $4 and change and a smoothie was $8. They charge a convenience fee if you use a credit card. The hot tender was big. It came with a slice of soft bread and a dipping sauce. The sauce was similar to a zesty sriracha/ketchup mayo. The breading of the chicken wasn't holding too tight to the chicken, but it was crunchy and kicked up quite a bit. The chicken itself was fresh, juicy and a large portion. The flavors of the hot breading/chicken, dipping sauce and bread went well together. Best way I could describe the breading was that they may use a variant of Masala to get their flavor. The smoothie was a mango, pineapple combo that they call Sunshine. They only sell one size. Thankfully it wasn't overly sugary and the ice was crushed well. I saw some fresh fruit hanging around the cashier area so I assumed it's all made fresh and not from containers or mixes. Overall I thought the experience was good. The wait was pretty long, but for their operation I can understand why it happens. The line stayed pretty steady the entire time I was there. I'd repeat, but wouldn't go out of my way to seek them out again.

Really fantastic. That's the review. My order: #4, heat level "hot" Pros: casual, chicken was literally perfection. Juicy, Hot, crispy, definitely the perfect heat level (I chose the middle selection "hot". Cons: wait time was 35 mins after my order was placed, so keep that in mind for scheduling. The slider is the size of a normal chicken sandwich- think chick Fil a size.

OMG the food is amazing!! I do not normally eat fast food but I was out shopping and I happened to be riding past and I wanted to see what the hype was all about. So I ordered the Chicken SINGLE TENDER ASADS #1 (1-SLIDER W/ FRIES). All I can say is WOW! The food was so amazing. It had to be the best chicken sandwich I've ever tasted. It came with Asad's special sauce and also some honey, which made it even more fabulous. I highly recommend. It was so delicious!

It was my first time there, but my sister's third time so she knew the process. You order and pay at the window. Your number is on the receipt. There is a deli-like display that shows the number on the receipt. I got the loaded fries, a single tender (reaper level hot), and a tender wrap (extra hot). Fries were so good, it was crispy but soft on the inside. I didn't get pics because we ate them immediately in the car while fresh and crispy. It was so good. Felt like a sin to eat, considering the ambience... I was behind a gas station parking lot. Anyway would definitely go again. Worth the heartburn. Only complaint by my sister was that it could be spicier. She's a spice fiend. But I thought it was just right!

That Jawn hits! It's straight fire! No frills soup Nazi styler ordering at the counter. Same treatment as the most gruff cheesesteak worker, but regardless the food is lit. Hot chicken is few and far between in the city and this place hits the nail on the head.

Really solid Nashville fried chicken spot in the northeast area. I've only reviewed the tenders, nothing else. I'd give it an above average for the cook, flavor, seasoning of the chicken. I will say I've had slightlyyy better Nashville hot chicken at Love and Honeys near fishtown philly, but this is right under that. Expect to wait 20-45 min here, could be more efficient if they opened up both windows in the stall. Currently there's one window/person handling both ordering and pickup...slow when you alternate between asking for orders and yelling out order numbers.

The serving sizes were huge. I wasn't expecting the sliders to be that big. I definitely could have had one and been full off of that. The Service took a lot longer than what the app said it would be but it's a very popular place so I guess that's to be expected. I enjoyed everything I had. But ask for stuff on the side if you are going to heat up the food for later. It was very busy. The colorful sign outside was nice.

Riddle me this, what is the hype? The cheese on the burger is like Cheeze Whiz from the 1990s and will have your stomach churning for a week. Secondly, the breading on the chicken seemed like it was deep fried in a pool of oil not cleaned for weeks. The hot sauce bleeds Red 40. I recognize it's fast food but the burger and fries are overly greasy and mediocre at best. Do yourself a favor, skip the line and drive to Route 66 in Lancaster, Roaming Rooster in DC/NOVA area or Namkeen in NJ. Better yet, Texas Fried Chicken in Philly!

Great spot for hot chicken... just don't expect it to be extremely spicy. Dillon and I went on a Tuesday afternoon with there only being a short line. Ordered 2 sliders (hot) and 1 tender (Reaper Hot). We started with the hottest spice level they had - on the tender. The chicken was juicy, fresh, and had a the dry spicy (with a hint of sweet) seasoning. And while it was spicy, it was far from the hottest we've had. I would have ranked their Reaper as a hot- heat level. The heat also doesn't hit you right away... it's a subtle build up kind of heat. The sliders were good. In the sandwich were picked, coleslaw, and a type of spicy mayo. Would definitely go back, but would couple this trip with Jollibee, a Filipino fast food l restaurant that is only a few minutes away, like we did the first time. The chicken at both spots are delicious!

Asad's Hot Chicken is the truth. I got the loaded fries and it was top tier. The fries were topped with chunks of chicken , cheese sauce and their secret sauce which I think is a spicy mayo ketchup sauce. You can choose the heat level and I went with mild. It had a little kick to it but everything was super tasty. The portion is so large it took me three days to finish. I warmed up the leftovers in the air fryer and it was just as good as day one. You can tell the food was made with love. 10 out of 10 recommend.

This place was hyped up. I tried to keep my expectations normal because it's a chicken stand at the gas station, but so many people were talking about this place so maybe I was expecting more. The parking situation isn't ideal, park in the lot next to it instead of pulling into the gas station. The service was nonexistent. We ordered the hot sliders and loaded fries. The wait was ridiculous, 40 minutes for chicken is crazy. It wasn't even that busy. The food was good- nothing special though. The seasoning for the hot chicken and the loaded fries reminded me of red hot chips by herrs, like it was identical lol.

Asad's Hot Chicken is WORTH THE HYPE!!! Everything that I tried was packed with flavor and was very enjoyable. I got the #4 combo which comes with a slider (more like a chicken sandwich!), a large chicken tender and fries. I also got the loaded fries. My sister and I split everything and ate it in the car to try it hot! This chicken is up there with Doro Bet's. Some of the best fried chicken in Philly! Breading is solid, seasoning is executed very well, the meat is tender. No complaints about Asad's. They only have smoothies but there's a mini mart right next door where you can get sodas etc! I recommend tackling this foodie adventure on a day with nice weather bc the stand is outside and you can have a more pleasant time waiting for it, and eating it in your car if you're like us and want to dig in right away!

Took almost 30 minutes to get my order. Fries were cold and chicken sliders were slightly warm. Ordered "extra hot" on the spice level, there was zero heat. Instead of making people's food to order, they make all of their orders up and line the bags up before announcing they are done. Never have seen a business run this way and it's terrible. I'll never go back. This is the original location on Cottman Ave. When they first opened up, they were really busy, now they are much slower and I think I know why. This was my first and last time at Asad's.

Today I tried Dave's Hot Chicken newest location at grant & Blvd in the shopping center. The staff was very pleasant, the food was fresh, hot & delicious. The location has plenty of parking & the inside is very clean. The price is comparable to asad's chicken, almost identical. Most importantly, my order was accurate, dispute how crowded it. Def stop in for a meal, you won't be disappointed, a they are open late (11pm) on weekends.

I loved the chicken. It's spicy and delicious, super crispy!The fries are great. The price is not obnoxious. I'd go back. Would I make a special trip for the chicken, probably not unless I was in the neighborhood.

The 30-35 minute wait time is a turnoff, but the chicken sandwich is good enough to visit again. I'm a chicken sandwich snob, and this definitely made my top 5.

Was driving to visit my cousin and saw Asad's hot chicken on the right. I decided to pull into the gas station and park to try this chicken that I have seen several times on Instagram. Yes! This spot is in a gas station parking lot. I stood in the line outside in the freezing cold for 40 mins before even placing my order. Then I learned it would be another hour before my food would be ready!!! So I went and shopped in Macy"s across the street from the gas station. After an hour I came out and still had to wait another 10-15mins. I ordered the #4 mild chicken Tender with cheese fries and a chicken slider. I can't imagine the heat index on the spicy bcuz the mild had me wanting water! Would I stand in line in the cold for this chicken again. NO! Well I don't think so. But it was worth the freezing wait!

Soooooooooooooo good!! It's a lot of food for the price too. The loaded french fries are ridiculous!! Whenever we've ordered from here it's always hot, fresh and delicious even after a 20 minute car ride. Highly recommend!!

They are always missing items or give you the wrong meal. Chicken does taste good but I won't return.

Not guaranteed quality and delivery takes an hour. Food is always cold. Asads has a great menu but can do better

Yummy chicken !! We ordered mild but it still had a very small kick to it which I really like. The workers were nice and if u go right before 6 the line is fairly short. The sandwhiches are great. Take out only highly recommend the sliders

Great food, if you're in the area please try it. Everything was delicious. If you like a little spice in your life then Asad's is the place for you.

This place is not worth the hype or money. My family and I have been waiting to try to this place for quite sometime since the new location opened up not too far from us Limekiln pike. At 12 pm there was a nice lunch crowd. I placed a large order all for everything to be the opposite of what we ordered. For example a number one plain just pickles no spice for my 8 year old, his sandwich was hot and had everything wasn't that it was someone else in our home. We actually couldn't tell since it wasn't what we requested. But it was pouring down raining and I am not a fan of taking food back.( do they trash it or give it to the homeless? This is not the economy to be wasting food) The location seemed cleaned but you can't see the entire store. The decor is nice but The menu set up is insane why is it so far away we can't see anything. The prices are a bit much just for some chicken sandwiches with seasoning no special individual sauce no extra nothing. Just not for me we should have went with our gut and made the food at home. The young lady at the counter was nice and patient at first until I asked one too many questions lol and more customers came in which is understandable because she was the only cashier and the inside isn't too big to wait.

Ok so after all the hype i thought i hit this spot up. the wait wasn't too bad. If you can order ahead,do it. The food was fresh, the spice is real.(nose drip) i ordered loaded fries then a sandwich combo. As u can see in the photos the sauce and topping on sandwich was just too much. it was messy. i couldn't even enjoy. bread was left super soggy. Fries are good. ( just like all the photos)i recommend them. Sauce seems like mayo/hot sauce mix. Worth supporting a local neighborhood spot!

Not bad. It's a truck stop outside of gas station. Very awkward location to park. There is usually a wait. About 15mins after you order. Menu is pretty straight forward of 5 items. I tried their chicken tenders. Highest level is extra hot which as someone that can handle their spice didn't think it was that spicy for highest level. Chicken tasted good but small portion although it comes with huge amounts of fries which were good and 2 slices of toast.

The location is definitely not ideal, however they did just open one in a Bensalem shopping center. Anyways, the food is SOOOOO good. I'm a bigggggg fan of hot/spicy chicken. This places hits the nail right on the head. One word; DELICIOUS. The service isn't that good but let's be real here, so many people are coming here they just can't keep up. Once it mellows out I'm sure the service will get better. None of their establishments are eat-in style, only grab and go.

No one would ever expect a chicken shop that's next to a gas station to serve really good fried chicken but appearances can be deceiving. Each time I've come here, there's always a line and expect to wait for 20-30 minutes for your meal. But if the consistent line is any indication, Asad's is definitely worth the wait. I've ordered the Tender Wrap and Slider w/ Fries before and both are really good. Both are similarly filled with coleslaw, pickles, and Asad's sauce, which tastes like thousand island dressing, mayo, and spices. If you like coleslaw though, you can taste the coleslaw more in the wrap versus the sandwich. The fries are seasoned very well and the perfect crispiness. As someone who can eat some spicy food and usually orders a 3/10 spice level, I thought the mild heat level was good for me. The spice definitely builds as you eat the food. Would I go back? : Definitely! Going to the Northeast is a bit out of the way for me but every time I find myself in that area, I usually try to go to Asad's.
