interesting collection of personalities inside,

On a very icy and snowy day in Dallas, I’m stuck in my apartment in downtown Dallas and had a craving for fried chicken southern style. I Unilocaled and found Williams Chicken. I was intrigued by the two reviews prior to me but also apprehensive with the description of a low end eatery with bums at the table.
Well, I was in for an adventure and got out of my apartment for the 3 — blocks to West End. What I found is as describe however, I didn’t find any bums at the table. I found lots of people eating and looking like they were enjoying their food.
I got the following to properly give this place a try.
1) 2 piece fried chicken dinner with spicy rice
2) 1 piece of fried fish
3) 1 order of 6 chicken liver
4) 1 order of fried okra
Orders 1 & 2 came with rolls and they were delicious. The fried chicken breading was light and perfectly seasoned. The meat was juicy and delicious. The fish had corn meal breading and was divine. The fried livers was interesting I had 1 piece and may try another. I didn’t try the rolls because I don’t care for bread.
Will I come back? You bet. It’s a short walk for the next time I am in the mood for fried chicken.

Before continue reading, know that everything I’m about to tell you is true! I cannot make this stuff up!
When I walked in to this chicken mecca of West End station I was at the tail end of a very long line. The gentleman in front of me was a dual amputee who ended up ordering 25 Fresh chicken tenders. «I want them fresh d#$%^ it!» he tells the staff.
When placing my 3 person order, I was told I was taking too long by telling them I wanted a roll with each order because they already know it comes with one.
I got 3 full meals with sides for under $ 20! Not bad. Meanwhile, the wheeled gentleman in front of me order was complete. «(YELL) I said Fresh! There is no way you all made them that fast! I should know, I own a Churches Chicken!!!) The staff then says that they are hot and fresh but if he wants them to drop some just for him, it will be about 15 – 20 mins. He informs the store, that he will wait.
Meanwhile in line, there are 2 very portly, and large women ordering what they thought was a precise order to the cent of chicken. But when they added a jalapeño it threw off their amount by cents and the amount of change they had brought to the party no longer was enough.
Behind them was an older man, who decided it would be good idea to loudly comment on the time it takes large, portly women to order chicken. These women then in response began with some head snapping of epic proportions as they told the cashier that they were about to slap an old #$%^& black ^&*()^&#$ into next week if one such old guy didn’t shut his $^#^#&@ mouth!
Meanwhile, there was a residentially challenged man in the front table falling asleep in his heavenly delicious chicken! I am not kidding! Falling asleep! See attached photo!
My order is then called and as complicated as it was, rolls and all, the staff did not miss a beat! Everything was as I ordered and FRESH!
As I made my way through the sleeping bums and head snapping women I came across a bellowing cloud of cannabis protruding from the largest and roundest swisher sweets you’ve ever seen from a young man in the back of the line blocking the door.
Yes, I did all of this for some amazing chicken. But what can I say, you have to love a meal place that gives you the opportunity to go on a quest for lunch!

Sorry if this review is too long.
If you looked up the definition of «Dead as a Doornail» in the dictionary you would find a description of downtown Dallas on a Sunday morning.
Downtown Dallas on a Sunday morning is so dead…
Audience: How dead is it?
Downtown Dallas on a Sunday morning is soooo dead that even the Subway Sandwich places are closed.
That’s dead.
It was in this empty atmosphere of echoing concrete aloneness that I set out to find what I had assumed would be a simple task… to find lunch.
How foolish this soon became apparent to me. I wandered from my hotel in a somewhat haphazard fashion southeastwardly (for lack of a better direction) and did not even encounter a stray dog.
Block after block greeted meet with closed office buildings, shuttered eateries and vacant parking lots telling me that whatever I was looking for was not easily to be found.
After about ¾ mile I stopped and checked my phone to get my bearings. I decided I didn’t care what kind of food I found, I was going to eat at then first place I found that was open. As I looked up, across the street was a check cashing place with an open sign. Not needing a check cashed, I nonetheless saw this as an encouraging site because at least it was open.
Then I noticed next door a small sign on the door that said Williams Chicken… but it did not look open. Then I saw a person walking down the street, turn and open the door and enter.
I decided to do likewise.
Therein I found a treasure that I certainly would not have expected.
Williams Chicken looks and feels like any other low end eatery catering to locals who do not have a lot of disposable income. It caters to those who if they are going to have only one square a day, they will have it there. I know, because I had mine there.
The menu is basic for a chicken joint with prices from about 2 bucks on up. I had the 3 piece dinner which other than the chicken included two dinner rolls, a side of spicy rice and a big gulp of sweet tea.
I tried the spicy rice first and after the second bite was ready to declare spicy rice reason enough to come back for more. The rice was light and fluffy. I felt as if I was eating miniature pillows of air saturated with a perfect balance of spices. The ground pork infused the rice with a deep flavor punctuated with just the right amount of spices to wake up my taste buds without overpowering the delicate taste and texture of the rice.
Then I bit into my first piece of chicken.
How can I describe it? I think the best way is to tell you you just have to try it for your self.
Cooks in the South have a remarkable talent for cooking chicken… There is a reason why southern fried chicken is not called northern fried chicken… Kentucky Fried Chicken is not called Minnesota Fried Chicken…
This chicken was moist and tender. The breading was light and crispy. The pieces were meaty and flavorful. To sum it up in 3 words… I liked it.
For those of you who complained about the other Williams locations having chicken that was too oily or greasy… deal with it… IT’S FRIED CHICKEN FOR GOD’S SAKE. This place is called Williams Fried Chicken. Not Williams Steamed Kale…
Give this place a try… I did and was not disappointed.
