The Little Chicken Spot — Restaurant in Williams

I feel so bad for Mr. Gonzalez, who is an incredibly kind man who obviously takes a lot of pride in his business and serves good, honest food made with love.

This place does not deserve your 1-star reviews for its mask-optional policy which violates no state or local ordinances. Arizona has chosen to leave mask policy up to its municipalities and Williams has chosen to leave it up to business owners. If you do not feel safe or comfortable with this business' policy, simply eat elsewhere. It's not as though Williams has a shortage of restaurants. If you've ever called someone a "Karen" for putting up a stink about having to wear a mask somewhere, realize that you are literally worse for leaving a 1-star review because of what you think OTHER people need to be doing.

Anyway, as far as the actual food goes (you know, what should actually be considered when reviewing a restaurant), they have a lot of dishes ranging from Mexican to Asian and more, some of which kind of cross over into Mexican-Asian-fusion territory, like if you were to order an orange chicken burrito. Regardless, though, it's good stuff. Very flavorful and pleased a wide range of tastes between me, my wife, and in-laws. They loved the chips & salsa so much that they ordered some to take back to our hotel in Flagstaff for a late night snack. They serve Stubborn brand soda as well, which are great sodas made with real cane sugar.

They are connected through a hallway to the bar in front, which was fun and quirky establishment that seemed to be mostly full of locals. Mr. Gonzalez encouraged us to stop in for a drink and offered to bring our food out to us in the bar.

5 stars easily. By the way if you were curious, it's been more than a week since we ate there, and none of us...

This place transcended the function of a restaurant for us. My 12 year old daughter and I drove through Williams on the way to the Grand Canyon and decided to stop at The Little Chicken Spot as it got many great reviews. We ordered in advance and Rick was so friendly and accommodating in taking our order and having the food ready for dine in when we arrived. He gave us a couple of fountain drinks and told us that we all needed to be better to one another as the 2 year pandemic had been so stressful for everyone. We ordered the Jamaican jerk and the Teriyaki chicken dishes. Both were terrific. Rick stole the show though. After we finished our meals, he took the time to give us the history of the City of Williams with very entertaining stories. He also talked about having 7 kids and how he'd migrated from LA to Williams for a change. He then proceeded to have a profound conversation with my daughter regarding the importance of the relationship between a daughter and her father that I would have paid money for. All genuine, deep, and from the heart. It really had an impact on her as she brought him up repeatedly over the remainder of the trip. God bless you Rick - The world needs many...

I saw reviews and knew I needed to try this place but the hours dont work well for me. I travel to Williams 3 times a week but I am never around during the posted hours. Well today, there were extreme winds that forced the helicopter to have a shorter day so I was able to try. As essentally every other review says, amazing service and even after I drove all the way to Flagstaff, the food was amazing. If you are in Williams during the limited hours, give this place a try! My wife and I might make a trip out there just to eat here!

PS: the review had me wondering what people actually complained about. People forcing their mask beliefs on others... I will ignore their opinions as they seem to do to others and bad service near the pandemic... This was an issue accross all of northern AZ but I can tell you the service was great for me.

More PS: i just saw they are closed weekends... I might try memorial day if...
