Alberta Street Market

I'm still amazed how a convenience store is known for chicken wings. Don't show up on superbowl Sunday

When you just want a good wing, no sauce, no frills, this is THE SPOT. IN high school, this place was called Jack's, and they were known for their wings and jojos back then. It's officially Alberta market, but the wings & jojos still reign supreme! (Sorry Popeyes!)

This. This is fried chicken. None of that extra "fusion new sauce you gotta try". This is straight up fried chicken. Sold in a market store. The service is no funny business, you have a sign that says what you can order, you order you pay and you're outta there with the best fried chicken in Portland. And cheap too! The chicken is nicely fried and usually the wedge fries are just filler. But no their "jojo's" are just as delicious as the chicken itself self. Do yourself a favor. And try it here.

I visit Portland monthly and this time, craving fried chicken, I tried Alberta Market. It didn't disappoint--simple and delicious, just like my Aunt Lillian's. Paired with hot sauce and white bread, it was finger-licking good. The crispy Jooju potato wedges were perfect too. Service was phenomenal; the staff, including a new hire, were all super kind. Definitely coming back!

Let's start with the store itself. Unassuming corner store. Why would I stop? In the past, I haven't until a friend told us about the food here. Specifically, the fried chicken wings and legs. OMG!!!! Ok, I am a fried chicken fan and a self-proclaimed fried chicken snob. Yes, I mean, if you asked me what my last meal would be, fried chicken would be the key ingredient on the final menu. Well, this fried chicken isn't my last meal (we will leave that to Ad Hoc by Thomas Keller in Yountville, CA), but if you are looking for an excellent, crispy, fresh, traditionally fried chicken wing here in Portland, please do not look any further!! This is your drive home, I don't want to cook, I've been out and need a fried snack or I am just craving a good old fashion crispy fried leg kind of place. The folks who work the market are nice, welcoming and aim to ensure you are satisfied with your meal. A wam hello, smile and prompt service. Word of advice, don't stop by too late in the day or they may be sold out. Trust me. One this one, I will not steer you the wrong way.

Alberta Street Market for those that grew up in the hood sells Jacks Crack chicken. They seek the best fried chicken wings Westside of the Mississippi. I kid you not. You have to try to believe it. I remember when I first tried their fried chicken. I bought a couple of wings. The next thing you know I was buying a pan of chicken. Amazing!!!?

This unassuming convenience store is literally across the street from Carioca bowls for you meat eating heathens (like me) the wings are pretty good! Thanks for the recommendation Jenny & Kent!4 pieces of wings with mojos for 10 bucks5 drumsticks for 6 bucksNot too shabby and pretty filling! They've got everything of convenience that one would expect and it's clean!

These wings right here! If you've never had them, do yourself a favor and go! They're so crispy, without the thick scratchy breading. It's a huge bang for your buck. I recall getting one of the sets with wings and jojos and they threw in a bonus wing or 2. It felt like a never ending bag. Eat these fresh. Did my sister and I cross the street and debate on eating these on the church steps? Yes.. because her car was half a block away and we couldn't resist. The people who work here are friendly, but you can tell, they're trying to get you in and out as fast as possible. Love this place!

Don't read a book by it's cover. This market has probably some of the best fried chicken in Portland, if not some of the best fried chicken I'vr had period. Nice big crispy wings with juicy meat.

I stopped in strictly for their legendary chicken wings, and was very impressed. The store seems to be a truly great local business, with all of the essentials that one could hope for at a convenience store. Prices are reasonable, and selection is wide. Service is extremely friendly and enthusiastic, too!On my visit, I ordered an "8 wings and jojo potatoes" combo, but they were out of jojo potatoes. One of the two employees asked if I wanted to get 10 wings instead, and I gladly took her recommendation. She asked if I wanted hot sauce, and I said, "yes, please". She added a bunch of packets to my bag, and I took my wings to my car to devour them there. The wings were AWESOME!!!! They are the full wing, consisting of the tip, the "flat" and the "drumette". They're cooked and seasoned PERFECTLY! Super crisp, super juicy, and super flavorful! I was extremely happy to find that despite my ordering 10 wings per the employee's recommendation, they'd actually given me 16 wings! 16 full wings is a LOT to eat, but after I'd done just that, I could have easily eaten another dozen.I really can't wait for my next visit, and hope to be able to do so again very soon!
