The 27 best spots for chicken wings in Cambridge

This place is so good.The food is so fresh and tasty. The Chicken wings and tenders are so good and taste fresh. French Onion Soup is great also And all the sauce combinations are my favorite wow I love tasteing all the flavors. I Highy Recommend every one too come try them out. I'll definitely be back

Buff’s Pub is hands-down legendary. If you’re even remotely into wings, this place should be a pilgrimage. Perfectly crispy, sauced just right, and somehow never greasy — they’ve cracked the code. The vibe is exactly what you want in a pub: loud in the best way, full of energy, and totally unpretentious. Service is quick, the beer’s always cold, and the food never misses. Whether you’re here for game night or just craving the best wings in Massachusetts, Buff’s delivers every time.

It’s a decent pub with friendly and attentive service. We came specifically for the wings, but they were just average—squite tough, and the sauce was too runny for our taste. A thicker sauce would’ve made a big difference.

Really can’t get better wings in the Boston area than Buff’s. I’ve never had any other item on their menu and probably never will. No thrills, Buff’s is simple and perfect. The place is always busy and doesn’t take reservations. You will have to wait a while, so put your name down with them at the front, grab a drink, and watch a game. I usually get the wing plate with Nashville hot sauce. Highly recommend for wings and good times!

This place is known as the best wings in Boston. We agree! If a place can do great garlic parmesan wings, you know it's great. This place has unbelievable lemon pepper garlic parm wings. The best part, our server Amine! She's beautiful, attentive, and all with a smile. We could see she did that with all her tables. Ask for her section!

Wings and sauces are worth the hype. No frills, no gimmicks & traditional bar setting. Be prepared to be near people, get bumped and make friends. It’s a great spot with a free lot a short walk away. Outside seating is available. Stays busy, service is good too.

Good food, atmosphere, and service. Been eating here for over 20 years and glad to see they kept doing the stuff that kept them around this long. Small pub with good bar food. Great place to watch sports with a good crowd. I will say these guys know how to pour a Guinness - just from their proper technique I noticed Guinness tastes better here. Wings are simple but great. A simple fried wing tossed in your favorite sauce. Guaranteed to have good service here, staff is very attentive and friendly, always there when you need anything.

We visited The Smoke Shop today for Dine Out Boston. They are offering a starter, entree, and dessert for $38, which is a pretty good deal! We felt the portions were appropriate and the food was pretty good. We each ordered different things to try a variety. For our starters we got the Mac and cheese bites (you get 4 and they're pretty big), the sliders, and the sausage. The sausage was served with crackers which turned out to be just saltines with no sauce, which felt kind of silly, but the sausage itself was good and spicy. For entrees we got the salad, the chicken basket, and brisket with sides. The dessert that came with the meal was their butter cake. The salad had a fancier name that I don't remember, and came with choice of dressing, sliced almonds, and green beans (which seemed canned and were picked out). The menu said that the salad came with choice of meat but did not include that there would be an extra charge--when we mentioned this to our server, she spoke to the manager and had it removed. Not sure why you'd offer a meatless salad on the menu; hopefully they update their menu or simply remove the charge. We really enjoyed the butter cake, though we wish it had something with it, like strawberries or caramel sauce. The brisket was a bit dry, but the sauces helped. Our server was great and we enjoyed the outdoor seating. Overall we spent $160 for three people after tax, tip, and a couple of drinks.

We went on a Wednesday night and it was fairly busy. We had 4 different meats and they were all delicious, the sides were really good too. Too much food for us to finish so bring a good appetite! No draft beers available nor our second choice of drink either but it didn’t really detract from the experience as the drinks menu is plentiful. Good value for money, nice service and a relaxed atmosphere with great food - we will definitely be back

The only reason why I gave this location 1 star was just so that i Could write this review. Me and my fiancé decided to rush into The smoke shop BBQ around 10:30 even though the last call for food was at 10:45. When we had called they told us we would have no problem being served, so we took a look at the menu on the way there just to be prepared. We arrived, ordered by 10:40pm. Then we were ready to leave the restaurant around 10:55 Because the food was rushed out, cold, bland & the bread was hard. Not only that, but the bottles of sauce they provided on the table were basically empty. We notified the server we did not enjoy the food whatsoever, that we wanted to pay & Not take our leftovers because we wanted to rush to another restaurant to actually go enjoy a meal. The server seemed like she did not care, as she did nothing to try to improve our experience. Then proceeded to charge us full price for the whole meal even though all we ate was the watermelon & cornbread. As a local of boston, As someone who has worked in hospitality as a server for years, if your craving BBQ & friendly service, stay away from here.

Not gonna lie, being from the south the land of BBQ, I was a little skeptical as to how well Boston could do BBQ! Well let me say they killed it! The food was very good and full of flavor. Had the cheese fries a new take on cheese fries couldn’t stop eating them, brisket was so good! Corn bread Mac & cheese all delicious. All I can say from a Southerner well done!

Being a native Texan transplant I have a deep love of BBQ. I’m always on the hunt for great BBQ in New England and when traveling abroad. My Go-To BBQ establishment is The Smoke Shop. July 2025 my brother and I celebrated there with Bacon wrapped Hotdogs, Beef Ribs, Potato Salad, Mac n Cheese, Cornbread, bourbon Barrel Ale and Smoked Whiskey! Shout out to “Bao” at the Seaport location. He’s all around awesome, knowledgeable and courteous. Thanks for the welcoming service!

I love BBQ and go to any place to give them a try. However this was more miss than hit. The BBQ upon my visit was bland and nothing to write home about. The brisket was dry, the cucumber salad was just cucumbers sliced with no added flavors and the cornbread wasn’t moist. Even the sauces didn’t have much flavor.Maybe it was a bad day but I’ve been to many BBQ chains like Dinosaur and this was just mediocre. The decor was usual and the service was friendly. However a BBQ place is not about the ambience or staff . It’s about the food.

Really nice place. The atmosphere is what you would expect for a bbq place. Cool buckets for your sauces and silverware. Food was really good. The spicy habanero wings were spot on. Nice little spice on them as well. Well smoked, and tender to eat. Smoked turkey was hot and juicy. Spicy links were good as well. The cornbread was really good. Potato salad was decent and beans were good as well.

I may be one of the few who didn't enjoy the taste of the food. 🥘 My family had dinner here recently and unfortunately, the best-selling corianos bowls didn't impress us. The dish had too much mayo and an unpleasant texture. However, the soup 🥣 was delicious. I also ordered BBQ, 🍖 but it was shredded pork with a lot of onions,🧅 which wasn't what I expected. The fried chicken 🍗 was fine but overall disappointing given the good reviews. Perhaps this is how their food is prepared, but unfortunately, we won't be returning.

A great spot for a quick bite, this cozy Mexican-Korean fusion eatery offers a fun mix of flavors. The menu features some of the tastiest Korean street food classics like tteokbokki, kimbap, and crispy fried chicken with your choice of flavorful sauces. They also serve tacos and they’re seriously good. Our favorite was the kalbi taco. We shared a few tacos along with the chicken poppers, which were a hit. The chicken poppers come on a bed of fries, drizzled with a variety of sweet and spicy sauces. Seating is limited, but it’s perfect for takeout or a casual bite on the go.

The Coreanos Bowl was so satisfying – the beef, sauce, and fried egg on top made the perfect combo. The Chicken Popper was amazing too, super crispy and flavorful with tasty homemade mayo. Fresh scallions made it even better. Definitely coming back!

You would never expect this to be such a cool restaurant from the street, but once you walk in the door you will love the charm and warmth. Everything about food was perfect. We had bibimbap ,fried chicken, Kimbap and kimchi fried rice and peach limeade. The service was super sweet…. Cannot beat a good waitress who brings a great attitude and had awesome recommendations. We will be back soon!

I DO NOT recommend this restaurant because of food quality and taste. I've been to several different korean restaurants at Boston during my vacation. Unfortunately, this restaurant was my least favorite in terms of food quality and taste. Tteok-bokki that we ordered didn't have a sweet flavor. Tteok-bokki sauce was thin and watery-it looked to me that it was simply diluted with spicy pepper paste. In addition, almost half of them were cabbage and there were no other vegetables or fish cakes. Also, spicy pork in taco that we ordered didn't taste spicy- the pork was not marinated well and haf a weird taste. Expecting from good ratings on Google review this restaurant was a disappointment to me.

So disappointing. Had High Hopes based on reviews. Definitely not legit. Nor is anything close to authentic. Got the most popular fried rice dish and the carrots and onions were completely raw barely even cooked. The meat was overcooked and lacking any legitimate flavor. The only thing that was decent was the sweet soy Fried Chicken but you can get way better at almost any other Korean chicken restaurant. They need to get some legit Cooks in their kitchen the staff they have Now does not know how to cook.

Bibimbap in the hot stone bowl tastes amazing!! Now the restaurant has switched to the heated version — it’s absolutely fantastic! Applause to the owner for this great decision! 👏

We go to Lincoln all the time for a beer and some food. Their bar pizzas are absolutely awesome — super crispy, perfectly topped, and always delicious. I also love that they have some unique beers on tap that you don’t find everywhere. Great spot if you’re in the mood to try something new. Their burgers are also seriously good — juicy, well-seasoned, and made with fresh ingredients. You can tell the kitchen takes pride in what they do. Funny story — one time we just stopped by for a quick pizza and didn’t order any drinks. The servers seemed a little surprised, but we were just craving pizza and it was as amazing as always. Overall, the vibe at Lincoln is always relaxed, the staff is friendly, and the food never disappoints. Definitely one of our go-to spots.

The hamburger, even though they only offer the classic one on the menu, is delicious. The wood-fired pizzas are really good too. Good service, great atmosphere! This time we went for dinner, but for brunch it's a great place, especially for the Thick Slice French Toast.

THE brunch spot in the heart of boston! Definitely would make a reservation on the weekend for brunch, cause it does get crowded! The fact there’s TV’s everywhere to watch the football games on Sunday! I already wanna go back ! The menu was so overwhelming with so many things that I want to try that I already know I’ll be back! The sandwich was great! I’d get it again! The only thing is I’m more of a pancake person, as my husband wanted French toast! Usually the fruity pebbles are over pancakes! It was still good but French toast is just too much bread for me! The donuts were absolutely amazing I could have ate that whole plate myself! There was like an apple pie jam ! My godddd !! Totally recommend stopping by ! I’ll be back to try more! Btw. I didn’t have the short rib poutine (not my style) ! But my husband did devour it so .. I’ll let that speak to ya’ll Also love the vibes for Halloween!

I am notamally a frequent Lincoln customer as i love the food & it’s a super convenient spot for where I live. So I am very disappointed to say that I had an alarming experience enough to write a review. I ordered the cheeseburger sliders and was served not 1, not 2, but 4 burgers that were completely raw in the center. Not just rare, RAW. Raw beef. I only realized it after biting in. I immediately called the restaurant and was refunded for the burger. That part I appreciated. But considering the seriousness of being served raw ground beef (major food safety issue) I was shocked that only the burger was refunded. My appetite was gone, my meal ruined, and honestly, I was unsettled. I messaged them on Instagram and got a very generic response saying they’d refunded just the burger. I then followed up via email to share how disappointing the experience was, but never received any reply. Accidents can happen, but the way a restaurant handles them says a lot.

12/10 restaurant!! Their brunch menu is to die for, would highly recommend everything, but their French toast and Cali burrito are delish. I have also been for dinner, great food as well but I think their brunch is the highlight of this place. Very reasonably priced as well. We split 3 apps & each got meals and a drink, after tip it was only $65 per person

Great way to start the day, absolutely loved the vibes and the service was wonderful. Our server, Gabby, was on top of everything. Price was reasonable and food was a hit, we all shared a bit of our plate with each other. Hope to return soon!

I had the short ribs with truffle mac & cheese out this world, so creamy and delicious I had to write this review, not only that I wanted something for my son that was not on the menu and they went above and beyond to make it for him! I been looking for a restaurant on west broadway st that the taste matches the price and Lincoln by far is the winner, loved so much I done told all my friends and family about it, will be definitely ordering from them again and for now one take all my money 😂

Classic brunch spot, not particularly remarkable but I would recommend to anyone looking for a solid brunch option. The French toast and breakfast pizzas were both tasty but the breakfast burrito felt a little lacking (a little dry/boring?). Service was surprisingly slow given we did not go during a particularly busy period. Plenty of street parking in the area on a weekend morning.

Stopped in the Monument Restaurant for a quick bite and drinks. Late lunch/snack is a limited menu from 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM. Decent menu with apps and piz Rustic, open roomy tavern. Greeted by the hostess. Friendly and professional. Seated at a spacious comfy booth for six with plenty of elbow room. Excellent waitress, Cassidy, friendly, courteous, attentive and professional. Ordered the apps, wood fire roasted chicken wings, chunky guacamole and chicken enchilada dip. The chips were the best! Fresh and tasty. Spicy sausage and pepperoni pizzas. All were absolutely delicious, fresh and prepared perfectly. Highly recommend. Will definitely return to try other items on the menu.

The staff, and ambiance was wonderful. The food was absolutely amazing. We were visiting from New York when we found this place, and it did not disappoint. We got the sourdough garlic knots, steak tips, and gnocchi bolognese. It was perfect. Kudos to everyone who helped to prepare and make all of this delicious food. We will definitely be trying when we come back to Boston.

We loved both of our dishes both times we have gone so far. Great restaurant with great staff and a dog friendly patio. Will definitely be making this a regular spot for us. It was very nice of the server to even bring our pup a bowl of water.

Had an awesome meal at Monument in Charlestown! We tried a little bit of everything — the pepperoni pizza, steak and cheese sandwich, french toast, smashburger, sweet potato crunchwrap supreme, and the garlic bread bruschetta — and it was all absolutely delicious. Great craft beers to go along with it too. The service was friendly and attentive, which made the experience even better. They were out of the birria tacos this time, but that just gives us a reason to come back (and we definitely will). Highly recommend!

Ordered for takeout and it was delicious. Only reason for 4 stars is because the steak tips side (for $16) only had 3 pieces. They were delicious, though!

Great Sunday morning breakfast! The brambleberry French toast was a great combination of ingredients, the breakfast pizza was good, the eggs a little over cooked. The birria breakfast taco was delicious.

Our party of two came here on a Thursday evening at 7:30 for dinner. We had a reservation, but it didn't seem necessary given there were three other groups there. We were promptly seated at our table and the lively wait staff came by to take our drink and food orders. We got the joint sampler with beef samosas which was awesome. The moi moi was great and reminded me of tamales. The wings and samosas were super flavorful as well. The drinks came out when we got our entrees which seemed a bit late. We got the taushe stew with eba (pounded cassava) which reminded me of a cross between Thai peanut sauce and butter chicken. I got the crispy chicken special and asked for the "fire" spiciness level with the plantains and jollof rice. The chicken had great crisp to it and was spicy, but not uncomfortable (although I eat a lot of spicy food so your mileage may vary). The jollof rice had awesome flavor and the plantains were amazing! Definitely recommend coming here, but be prepared to take your time because the service is a little slower than I had hoped.

My friends and I are obsessed with this place. We saw it mentioned online and went to try it - so glad that we did! The flavors are absolutely amazing. Rich and tender. We always do the beef suya plate with jollof rice and the egusi stew with pounded yam and split it so we get some of everything. The fried plantains are magical. Highly recommend!

When you go out to eat aren’t you looking to escape from the same old same old? Suya Joint takes you by the hand and takes you someplace both unique and deeply familiar. We all need to feel the warmth and kindness from strangers that is all too rare these days. The vibe is lively, playful and exciting while also being nurturing and real. The music, staff, food and drinks are all fabulous.

This is a take out review. I ordered the African Dinner today and I must say it was very disappointing. Sorry folks, I know there's a lot of good reviews for Suya Joint out there but the food tasted very disappointing. I have Nigerian in-laws and have been eating their Egusi for 20 years. The Suya's did not compare to their cooking and they had the same basic ingredients. Now it could be that I ordered the mild, non-spicy version, which can make a big difference in taste but overall, however, the chicken that was in the Egusi amounted to the drum part of a wing. Not the best tasting, kinda bland. When I opened the bag, the meal was comprised of mostly jollof rice. The rice was pretty bland as well. It didn't reek of quality and was a bit dry. When the Suya Joint first opened in Roxbury I thought that the food was pretty good. I'm not sure what has happened along the way. When my family ate this take out order, I felt that the quality is decreasing and prices are increasing. Not sure I'll order from them again.

Me and my girlfriend came here two weeks ago in our visit to Boston. I am very particular about how my African foods are made, but this place is absolutely amazing! My girlfriend is Guatemalan, and when she tried their egusi and fufu she ended up dragging us back the next day!! Will be coming back on our next visit to Boston!

Overall my experience was really good. My, now ex, took me to try fufu for the first time and I fell in love. Our server was very friendly and combinative. The restaurant was very authentically designed, and had artwork and pieces of African culture to look at. We ordered the Joint sampler but unfortunately only the stew and spicy suya wings came out which were super yummy regardless, and we were told moi-moi was unavailable. Not sure why we never received the beef samosas but in replacement of the moi-moi we got sweet fried plantains which were so flavorful. Finally when out entree's came out, I realized how happy I was to have tried fufu at this location. It was so tasty and even better than what I expected. We got a cocktail as well, although i could not find the name of it. It was decent but not great. We also got a coke in a plastic bottle which happened to be flat, so that was kind of disappointing. Overall though, food-wise, highly recommend this restaurant for some great African Cuisine.

Meeting friends..made a reservation through OpenTsble. Multitasking waitress Jayda was the highlight. Second only to the food. She graciously greeted me and made me feel very comfortable. Shes a gem just like her name. I ordered several drinks and appetizers to include the dry rubbed wings. The moi moi was listed on the menu with stew, however, it didnt come with stew. No worries, it was still tasty as were the wings.

Went for the second night in a row for dinner. Food is great (10/10); service is friendly; great place for dates, group dinners, and dates. We had the beef massaman, crab curry, and chive cakes with mocktails (special request to the accommodating bartender Andrew), Thai iced coffee, and sticky rice dessert. The massaman is our favorite (perfect combo of savory and sweet--please don't ever take this off the menu!!) and is enough for a full meal, and we wanted to try more on the menu. We weren't disappointed. Everything we've tried has been a hit. You won't be disappointed by anything on the menu. The staff are friendly and remembered us from the previous night. Pamika remembered where we sat; Andrew remembered our names. We felt welcomed and well fed. This is our new favorite Boston restaurant.

Wish I can eat the crab curry everyday. The crispy pork belly was also excellent. My complaint is the serving size and the price. Had to spend almost $90 just to feed two people. No drinks or dessert or apps.

It’s expensive but good. I loved the attention to detail with the dishes, for example the lemonade had a beautiful purple and yellow gradient and the crab rice cakes were delicately garnished. As for the main dishes, I loved that they were decently spicy. The fried chicken was the star for me personally though, I don’t think I have had chicken skin so crisp but the meat so tender, at least the way it was cooked. The beef curry is very savory and the veggies aromatic. Great experience although prepare for it to be bush and tight!

I went for a friend’s birthday without reservation and, luckily, they got us seating by the bar as the restaurant was full. The service was very fast, they worked around allergies pretty well, and all dishes felt like they were made for sharing so we did. By the end, they offered us to go boxes free of cost (a true miracle these days). I highly recommend you to reserve a table if you come with more than 3 people, because seating is limited but don’t let it be an obstacle between you and this amazing food!!!

It’s better to come as a group so that you can try more things since the dishes are on the pricier side (but not too big of a group since the seating is also tight). Everything that I tried was very flavorful, although a bit salty for my preference. - Fried Chive Cakes ($11): Crispy on the outside, but soft on the inside. I wish the sauce were spicy, but I liked this appetizer. - Beef Massaman Curry: The curry was delicious, and the roti was soft. I wanted to bring some of the curry home to eat with rice but forgot the container (sorry!!). - Beef Penang ($20): My favorite of the things I ordered. The beef was super tender, and the sauce was just right when eaten with rice. - Pad Thai ($23): I appreciated that this wasn’t overly sweet, which is a typical downfall of this dish, but this was my least favorite because the taste wasn’t very special. The shrimp was very plump, though. Reminded me of ginger scallion lobster at Chinese restaurants. I think I prefer the sister restaurant, Merai, but this was still a solid lunch.

We went a couple years ago and loved it, so we were excited to go back again. We made a reservation since we know the place is small. We were pretty disappointed, to be honest. I’m not sure we’ll come back again. The food and drinks were just okay (more details below), the restaurant AC had a hard time keeping up with the heat and the very tight seating, and the service was fine but not anything great. For food, we got the pomelo salad, razor clams, pig cheek, crab fried rice, fried chicken, and then their sticky rice dessert. The pomelo salad was the best - nice textures, some nice spice, delicious ingredients. It was the first dish to hit the table and we were excited to get more. But then everything else was sort of sad. The fried chicken was crispy but not really what I expect for fried chicken (was barely breaded). The razor clams were a bit gritty (but the flavor was nice). The pork cheek tasted a lot more like pork belly, and maybe that’s an unfair assumption, but it overall lacked flavor and was really chewy. The crab fried rice was really lackluster too. It needed way more seasoning and more crab. The dessert was tasty at least. The table next to us actually asked for more salt and seasoning for their food. I didn’t notice what they had, but that doesn’t seem like a great sign to me. The cocktails were just okay. My partner and I each had two, and we didn’t even really like one drink each. We love pandan but the flavoring was so strong that it was off-putting. If they are using a pandan essence, they can use less of it. There was nothing that wowed us about the other cocktails we each had. I don’t mind an intimate restaurant setting with really tight tables, truly, but the real candles on the table are scary when you’re trying to slide through tables to get up. And it’s not their fault the weather is gross and hot, but the restaurant felt really uncomfortable to sit in. We were all sweating. Last, the service. It wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t good either. No explanation of anything, no recommendations, no description of food when it hits the table. They did check in on us, cleared the table, made sure we had water, and didn’t let our cocktail glasses sit empty. But for what we knew we were going to spend on the meal, I wanted a little more. Overall, I’m sad it wasn’t as good as I remembered. Maybe we ordered the wrong things. Maybe the server being more interactive and helping us build out choices better would’ve helped. Maybe they are having an off day. But for the price we pay, I don’t know I’ll give them another try and risk a similar experience.

Mahaniyom is a Thai Tapas place, well known in the Boston area located right outside of the Longwood area and in the heart of Brookline. The staff are quite friendly in this location, seating us nearly instantly and making sure things such as drinks are taken care of, food is brought out in a timely manner, and ensuring the night was enjoyable. It is a bit crowded and loud in the place, though it could just be our seating we were in. We got a wide range of dishes to try, such as the Khao Tang Na Tung, Salted pepper Pork Cheek with Sticky Rice, Kang Puu (Crab Curry), and the BBQ & Crispy Pork Rice, before ending with Lod Chong for dessert. The Khao Tang Na Tung was quite good, with a nice chili coconut sauce on it. The toppings blended together nicely, though it was kind of messy to eat. The Salted Pepper Pork Cheek was on the spicier side, with the salt and pepper packing a punch but not too overwhelming. With the Sticky rice, it was quite good and went really well with it. The BBQ & Crispy Pork Rice wasn't too special in our opinion, as it felt very average, and almost tasted similar to Char Siu sauce and like a Siu Yuk. The dish did well to satisfy though, and came with a dipping sauce similar to what we believe is Tamarind. The highlight of the night was the Kang Puu, The crab curry. It was very distinct, with vermicelli noodles and bean sprouts served on the side, and coconut smell. The coconut smell was a bit overwhelming, but the curry was quite good, not too spicy and not oily at all. The vermicelli went well with it, but I think that the sticky rice paired with it just as well. We also tried the Lod Chong, which was like a pandan coconut dessert with jelly on the inside. It was a bit of a disappointment due to the size and also it didn't really taste like much, but we were already stuffed by the end of it. Overall, a wonderful experience and definitely would go back.

I was actually very satisfied with our choices. Fried chicken wings , catfish nuggets , fried shrimp, & the steak tips .. very goood !! The rice & black eyed peas 👌🏾 & potatoes salad 🤞🏾 now i am not at all interested in the mac & cheese , would not recommend …

I’ve been to Slade’s a few times, but this was my mom’s 1st time dining here. Since then, she has done takeout twice! I know how busy they can get so I decided to come in around 3pm before the rush. Our waitress was kind and helpful. I ordered their fried chicken wing dinner with the sides: mac & cheese and black-eyed peas & rice. My mother ordered their rib dinner with the sides: potato salad and collard greens. Everything came out hot and fresh. I never tried their ribs, potato salad, and black-eyed peas & rice until now and I am blown away! We will be back to order more items off the menu!

I urge you to take some immediate action regarding the food options! The new baked macaroni and cheese made with curly noodle shells simply does not meet expectations. It comes across as bland and lacks the depth of flavor we’ve come to enjoy. Additionally, the potato salad has lost its appeal; the once creamy and flavorful dish now tastes mushy and unseasoned, failing to create the delightful contrast it used to provide. The collard greens are equally disappointing, as they are soggy and overly salty—far from the vibrant, savory side dish we remember. I genuinely miss the culinary talents of SLADE or the chef from last year, whose dishes brought creativity and satisfaction to our meals. Right now, it feels like the overall quality of the food is on a concerning downward trend, and I hope improvements can be made soon! All change ain't good change.. Horrible!

The food is amazing. You must try the yams, catfish nuggets, really anything. Flavorful, fall of the bone, succulent. Go on a weekend night and you'll get the right atmosphere.

Mac and cheese, candy yams and fried shrimp. Mac and cheese was gross, no flavor at all, the candy yams and shrimp were amazing. The shrimp by itself is $15 and they don’t give you a lot, but it definitely tastes amazing. I would get them again. Went to the bar and got a green tea shot drink for $13. Good atmosphere and vibe

Spent 33$+ on a Chicken Dinner plate for delivery. I woke up hours later with food poisoning. The sides I ordered were both questionable. The macaroni and cheese was cooked different from what Is normally served with different pasta and different taste. The yams were a weird size and texture. Also unlike what I normally receive when I order. Wings were huge but bland. Now my stomach is killing me. Never again!

Nice Bar & Grill! Had lunch enjoyed myself here with my friend music was cool R&B, Soul food was delicious I had Smothered Pork Chops, White Rice, Collard greens were awesome and Mac and cheese was just ok need to be creamy too dry my opinion. Bartender was soo nice Will definitely go back. Atmosphere thumbs up!

Overall I was disappointed with this experience. I placed a pickup order and was told it would be 15 minutes at 1252. I didn't leave the store until 130 ish after arriving in 15 minutes. The cheesy garlic bread was okay but pretty bland, same with the chicken on the chicken bacon ranch fries. The wings were good but overall the food was good not great. The portion sizes are nice though.

Heart of savin hill. Best pizza and wings in the area . Very clean restaurant, a friendly service lady at the counter. It's very nice. Fresh slices, ready to go I was in on Dorchester day and he had a special going on small Cheese Pizza for it. It's six dollars is seventeen cent.. it's a Boston thing. If you know you know. I would like to go there and try other things next time. I'm around in that area.

Just ordered from Pantry for the first time. I was not impressed. I ordered the Greco Pizza and a slice of Carrot Cake. The pizza is not very good. The crust is very bland, and tough. I ordered directly from the restaurant, and when the pizza arrived it was all ready Luke warm. The cheese portion was generous, but again, no flavor. The spinach had an odd taste, the canned olives are what you expect, and the chicken was OK. I think there was supposed to be feta on the pizza, if it was it was more bland then the Mozzarella. The carrot cake had a hint of carrot cake flavor, and the frosting was good. I would not recommend pizza from here, especially when the area has many other terrific pizza options.

Very unfriendly customer service! We made a phone order. The lady sounded very annoyed when we wanted to double check the items and how much it costed. She even whispered “Oh my God!” on the phone. We have ordered from Pantry so many times and loved it, but this kind of servicing is losing your customers.

For the first time my pizza was a messy, I didn't like it. It looks like they just mixed up everything and brought me the pizza so quickly.

We ordered an Alfredo chicken spinach and feta large pizza and large mozzarella sticks. On the phone we said the pizza name and they went "so you want a white pizza" no I want an Alfredo spinach chicken and feta. They said okay. We picked it up and it was just Alfredo and cheese. I went back and she tried saying thats what we ordered. The kid on the phone said we didn't say anything about chicken spinach and feta. They said we didn't even know the name of the store so it was our fault. I had to tell her that I did know the name and she confirmed it was in fact the name. That my order was repeated a couple of times so it's not my ends fault. She was huffing and puffing at me. I tried getting a refund and she said they won't allow it since I apparently wasted the pizza. Mozzarella sticks weren't hot and the sauce was more liquid than marinara sauce. The second time I got my pizza not all the chicken was fully cooked. I had high hopes for this place but I wouldn't recommend it at all.

We ordered pizza, garlic bread and fries. Pizza was very bad, tasted so bitter/sour felt like stale cheese or olives. I wouldn't recommend having Pizza at Pantry Pizza. Garlic bread was edible, although fries are recommended.

Among the best food in Boston… with lemon ricotta pancakes that are life changing and really hit the spot for brunch. Shockingly not crowded even on a popular Sunday! How is this possible? Pricing is on the higher side, sure — but it’s worth it and portions were large. Dinner may not be the same story. We ordered across the menu and didn’t have a single un-devoured item among the lot. Desserts are decadent and could honestly stand to be less luxuriantly sweet, but the savory dishes were stellar throughout - although I’m going to break my own rule and say the sweet\savory pairs especially the pancakes and French toast were of course the best of the whole selection. The crispy potatoes… incredible! “60 degree eggs” run a bit soft so request a higher cook temp for those if you can. Try the steak+eggs Benedict too; those were another stand out. Burger was solid. Sandwich was solid. Nothing too fancy from the greens alongside, could have used more color there perhaps? A little tomato and feta? Outdoors can be WINDY so be aware. It was a little annoying but nice and secluded behind the venue. Indoors is cozy, darker, pretty standard for the area. Service is friendly and attentive. Do not miss this brunch! Bring a jacket if outdoors though. Would love to see heaters installed in this area. Portions are plenty big. The idea of 1-2 per person is generous and contributes to the high cost some reviewers cite. Maybe this is a bit different during dinner. Most folks will find one dish is enough but it can vary from dish to dish. Pictures will be helpful here so check those out.

I haven’t been to this beloved brunch spot in quite some time largely due to the persistent challenge of securing parking, but it has remained one of my perennial favorites. On this return visit, we ordered the farm vegetable shakshouka and the French toast with roasted strawberry and rhubarb, and both dishes reaffirmed why this place holds such high esteem in my memory. The farm veggie shakshouka was a standout. I deeply appreciate that they offer a vegetarian version of this traditionally egg-centric dish, and as the name implies, the vegetables were impeccably fresh. More than just an assortment of seasonal produce, the vegetables were thoughtfully chosen and well-textured, allowing them to stand up to the richly spiced tomato base without being lost in it. The balance between the earthy sweetness of the vegetables and the warming acidity of the sauce demonstrated a nuanced understanding of the dish's North African roots. The French toast with roasted strawberry and rhubarb was equally exceptional. The fruit, rather than being an afterthought or garnish, was roasted to intensify its natural sugars and deepen its flavor. The strawberries brought a bright, almost jammy sweetness, while the rhubarb offered a subtle tartness that cut through the richness of the toast with elegance. Together, they created a vibrant interplay of flavor and texture—a true celebration of the season’s best. This meal reminded me why, despite logistical inconveniences, this place is well worth the return.

The vibes and the service are amazing! The drinks are very unique! However, the foods are good but not the best. The restaurant filled up very quickly on a weekend night! So make sure to reserved ahead.

We started with the morning fog drink and coffee. Coffee was smooth, drink layers of flavors amazing. We started with the side biscuit and it was amazing and the homemade butter perfect. We split the focaccia egg sandwich and French toast between us and had plenty left over. French toast was not too sweet, greens on the side of the sandwich and the sandwich was incredible. What a great chef!!

Ive been a few times during brunch. Once in a group of 2 and another a group of 7. Both times I reserved in advance which was especially necessary for the group of 7. The back patio is lovely during the warmer weather, otherwise, I like inside under the skylight. The interior of the restaurant is dark and has a dimmed light atmosphere which isn’t my favorite for brunch. The Montecristo sandwich was really great as was the focaccia egg sandwich. The bravas skillet is 90% potatoes so I’d only recommend for potato lovers.

The chicken fried rabbit was slightly overpowered by the blue cheese, Duck pierogi could’ve been better with less dough, for the steak, the meat was sort of chewy although the color for medium rare was correct. I enjoyed all these dishes though and the ambiance was perfect and upscale. Would come back ❤️

It’s a cool place with delicious food. I liked both the burger and the pasta. The pasta sauce very special in a good way. The only downside is that the portions are small and the food is overpriced. Maybe good for occasions.

I thought a place couldn’t make good ice cream and pizza at the same time: I was wrong. The ice cream here is top notch. Definitely worth a visit. I only tried the ice cream, and decided to take the caramel swirl. The ice cream here has a really unique texture: it’s very rich and creamy, almost like fudge. The caramel flavour was delicious and kept me coming back for more, and I really liked that there were actual swirls of thick liquid caramel mixed into the ice cream. It’s really close to 5 stars: only thing missing is a pinch more sea salt in my opinion, and this might have been the best caramel ice cream in Boston. Definitely worth a try, will come back to try the pizza as well!

I made reservations to sit inside. There were other tables open. So I don't know if the reservations were necessary. There is outdoor seating as well. We shared a grilled chicken Caesar salad and a pepperoni pizza. The chicken was moist and perfectly grilled. The pizza was so good. The sauce tasted like the tomatoes were had squeezed and the mozzarella cheese was so yummy. The pepperoni were the old style that curl when cooked. There was a perfect char on the crust. There was a little flop to the pizza. But it was so delicious. I will be back. We also tried some of their house made ice cream. We brought 2 pints home. Great place. Great service. Great food. You won't be disappointed.

I’ve been coming here a long time for ice cream, probably the best in the area like many other reviews have attested to. The dark chocolate sorbet might be my favorite frozen treat in Boston. It is everything I wish chocolate ice creams were: rich and fudgy without being overwhelmingly sweet and heavy. I only recently tried their pizzas (got take out) and they really did not disappoint!! I got the sausage fennel and the muffuletta. Both briny, meaty and delicious in their own ways. For those of you that do not like too much char on pizzas, I would highly encourage you to order the pizzas “lightly cooked” contrary to the warning against this that is on their website. It made for a delightfully chewy and airy crust that was like a nice piece of bread you could probably dip in sauce or olive oil to end the slice. Here’s a closeup shot of the crust for color.

Didn’t have a reservation, but they were nice enough to seat us outside! Inside probably would’ve been too loud anyway. The inside is set up like a small family restaurant, booths and table fit into the area on the left, the grab and go ice cream counter on the right, and the kitchen in the back. Our waitress was super helpful in recommending food, and the food was good. We got the hot honey chicken wings 🍗🌶️ - but they weren’t that spicy, and would’ve been better with a dipping sauce. The pizzas were loaded - we got the Alsatian, a white french pizza with caramelized onions and bacon, and the sausage, broccoli rabe and olive pizza. The dough / crust was the standout. A little sourdoughy - always light, airy and chewy. Must try the ice cream! The pistachio had a lovely texture - a couple ice chips and tiny pistachio meal. Delicious flavor!

Delicious pizza with a crispy crust, paired with a refreshing IPA. Ended with their house-made ice cream, which was delicious. Overall a great spot for pizza, beer, and dessert. They also have other options in the menu. Only thing to note is they add a ‘kitchen service’ fee on the bill in addition to tips, which was unexpected. Still, worth a visit if you’re in the area.

We ordered delivery to our hotel downtown Boston. We ordered a Pepperoni pizza, spaghetti and meatballs & wings. Everything was amazing! The pizza especially. It had this perfect char on it. The wings were perfectly cooked, not overdone. I highly recommend!

I went to this pizzeria based on a hotel recommendation. The first time, they gave me so much runaround about getting a table that I left and ended up having a great dinner elsewhere. Gave it a second chance and thought, “Why am I even here?” The pizza was mediocre at best—I’ve had much better. Service was good, but if you’re looking for great pizza, this isn’t the place. Not recommended.

It's a cozy place. We went on Friday and it was pretty loud. We got roasted chicken and goat stew. Both were pretty good. No real complaints. It's like Southern comfort food. We also got the bread pudding. The bread pudding was delicious. Giving it four stars for service because they didn't refill our water :(.

We took a walk to the Highland Kitchen from our hotel. It was definitely worth it. We were greeted promptly, and pur service was friendly. They provided us a place to park our stroller out of the way, and it never felt like an inconvenience. They provided a high chair and offered a coloring sheet with crayons. I ordered the fried chicken sandwich, which was very well done. I was also happy to have malt vinegar with my fries. The food was hot and fresh. My husband ordered the monkfish special. While it wasn't his favorite, we could tell it was fresh. The pretzel was ok, but the beer cheese dip was fresh and flavorful. The broccolini was good. There was music playing, and the atmosphere was nice even for a family with kids.

It’s a standard American bar, with a cool ambiance when the music is turned up! The food seemed to be themed around the south, with a lot of food evoking New Orleans. I got the veggie jumbalaya, which I quite enjoyed as a whole, though the long veggies (carrots, etc) threw me off a bit. I wish it had come with cornbread like the spicy (meat) jumbalaya. The blackened catfish po’ boy was also quite good and I’m sure I would have been quite happy with that as well. A couple members of our party got the spicy Nashville hot chicken sandwich, and they definitely aren’t kidding with the warning - it is spicy!

Well, I think one would expect more than barely two chunks of meat in the high praised goat stew. And I'm also hoping this hair looking strand I found on the vegetable didn't belong to a human. On to the taste, while the flavor of the curry was decent, the coconut was certainly overshadowed. The plantain pieces were fried to perfection and balanced out the curry spice, but I doubt one would order a stew just for the plantains. Overall, if I ordered a main course, I would expect to be at least full from it.

This restaurant is always crowded and very loud. However, the food was excellent. We had the Bavarian pretzel (very good), Buffalo Chicken sandwich & fries, and salmon special with avocado & pineapple salsa. My son said the fries were excellent. They also have an extensive drink menu. I enjoyed a mango, rum & ginger beer cocktail. Tables are very close together, so hard to maneuver and to talk. They have an inventive menu & old standbys. You will find something for everyone. Great service despite the crowd. Our waitress did a great job. I would go back again.

One of my favorite restaurants in the state. Been coming here for years. Food is excellent and the bar makes good drinks. The curried goat stew is not to be missed as well as their margarita

Best American restaurant period. A truly hidden gem in Somerville. Great menu, food has amazing flavor. This comes from someone who generally find american restaurants as mid.

Having been to this place a few times over the years, it has somehow gotten even better. Their renowned biscuits are soft, sweet, buttery all on their own but when paired with either the smoked cinnamon butter to up the sweetness or the pimento cheese to provide more savoriness you cannot go wrong! The BBQ shrimp was a standout that went fantastic with the soft and moist bread it came with. The shrimp was savory and filled with flavors that went excellently with the sauce it came with and the bits of meat in it. The fried chicken we had ordered with a white BBQ sauce that went so well (I’d love to try their other sauces as well), but what I love is that the chicken itself was miraculous by itself. A crunchy savory outer fried coating bursting with flavor once you bite into the moist chicken that is just the right temperature, not too cold and not too hot that you burn your tongue. They did not skimp out on their drinks either. Strong and delicious combined all in one that makes it worth the cost. What I love about the restaurant is depending on where you sit, it can change the ambience and they have it all, both indoor and outdoor. Wait staff was kind, knowledge and speedy as well. Highly recommend this spot if you haven’t been before.

Decent southern comfort food. I liked the fried chicken waffle place for brunch. The beignets are amazing, flaky. The atmosphere wasn't great though. The service was also slow, it seems like they were understaffed. We waited for a long time to get out check (after asking for it for 3 times).

Part of my friend group headed back before the rest of us, so we decided to stop in somewhere for dinner before we caught the train back. All of us were very glad we found the Buttermilk & Bourbon: a New Orleans style restaurant in Boston?? Yes, please. Even though it was packed, we managed to get spots at the bar, which worked out great since the two gentlemen behind it were exceptionally friendly and very attentive despite the dinner rush. The food was so good 🤤 the ribs I ordered were some of the best I’ve had in years. Special shoutout to the warm honey glazed biscuits: if you go, get enough for everyone! Special shoutout to the service, especially the host: my girlfriend’s phone died, and so she couldn’t manage her insulin pump. The host didn’t even blink when we asked if he could help, he just took the phone, found the right cable and kept an eye on it for us until it was sufficiently charged. If I lived in Boston, this place would easily be one of my go-to spots for drinks, lunch or dinner. To the crew who worked the dinner shift on August 30th, 2025: you were the best!

Googled for a good place to eat on our last evening in Boston and found this one. Being from Louisiana, I'm always leary about trying places with Southern cuisine. To my surprise, the food was pretty good. We had the buttermilk fried boneless thighs, collard greens and their famous biscuits. Did was hot and fresh! Wait staff was great too. It's a little on the pricey side, but I chalked it up to the location.

We decided to try this place on a whim on our last day in Boston and it did not disappoint. From the drinks to the food, it was all delicious. I love that it is tapas style so that we could try a little of everything. I would definitely recommend the honey biscuits!

Really loved this place! Awesome food and service! A very nice Shirley temple. Quick service and very cozy atmosphere! Would recommend 100% if you crave some good fried chicken! Mac N Cheese needs to be studied - it was one of the best ones I have ever had!!!

One of very few restaurants where the ambience, service, and food are all top tier and incredible. We tried the BBQ shrimp, Mac n cheese, chicken sliders, and whipped ricotta. I truly have no other words than…wow. This place is a must must must for anyone looking for southern comfort food to heal their inner child. Every dish and every bite was tastier than the last. The staff is kind. And the VIBES were immaculate! Absolutely worth every penny and honestly the menu, in my opinion, is well priced. Top notch food without overwhelming prices. Highly recommend!

Great food, super rich in flavor and cooked well that it’s not dry. Comes with live music on weekend, and atmosphere is also lively. Can be loud if someone wants to enjoy the restaurant, it can be hard to hear. Service seems to be unorganized as we had 4 people asked if we ordered already, yet our food and drinks took awhile...Overall would recommend this place to try out!

Went out here for a double date. Super great food, a live band and great service with the owners actively present. Would definitely come here again. The Sugar Baby drink is to die for. Beware of running late or thinking it's a game--10 to 20 minutes late from the evening opening and you'll lose your spot already haha. It gets filled up exceptionally quick. Make a reservation or try your chances at your own risk!

Denise service was fantastic! She took good care of us. Make sure to make a reservation well in advance. We didn’t and had to sit at the bar. Which was nice too. Good drinks, good food, great service. Music is on point too. Highly recommend the fish tacos and the sticky pepper wings. The calamari was too sweet for our liking. Shrimp and grits was good

Great vibe! Loved the live music but was a bit loud when trying to have a convo. Wait staff was friendly and provided great service. Food was good. Menu had a variety of items with more seafood options than anything else. My girl enjoyed the jambalaya - said it was the best she'd ever had and was spicy! I enjoyed my burger. Drinks were tasty but not strong.

Small, cozy type setting. My co-workers & I went to Sunday brunch but had a late reservation, so we missed the live jazz music..😬 Otherwise, GREAT food, atmosphere & service. Our server was awesome. The cheesy eggs & the very well seasoned fried chicken were Amazing, along with the mac n cheese. I would definitely go back again, but earlier to enjoy the live music. This place is crazy busy, I would strongly recommend reservations!!!

This is the best place to see black and brown people, hear black and brown music LIVE, and eat soul food... the atmosphere is right out of a Harlem Renaissance-era jazz club. Whenever i have friends from out of town who ask me "where the black folk at?", i take 'em to Darrly's. Updated from visit on 4/19: Still the Blackest restaurant in the city. Best shrimp and grits on the East Coast. Catfish strips are a go-to, and the atmosphere is classy. The only place to get Uncle Nearest whiskey in your cup. ALL their drinks are on point!

This place was amazing. Loved the food. The Jazz band was great too! We sat at the bar and the bartender (Elyse, not sure of the spelling) was great with the drinks and hospitality). Great first visit and first time in Boston!!

A great restaurant to enjoy delicious food. The space is nicely designed and decorated and the layout is good. The service was very friendly and accommodating even with our the large group and the chef checked couple of times if everything was good. The food was delicious, most of the meals we tried were very good. The Leslie Knop fried chicken and waffle was tasty (I was sold by the name of the meal since I am a fan of that show). We tried as well several desserts and they were good. A recommended place for an enjoyable dinner!

I’d heard a lot about Moonshine, and finally had the chance to check it out. We came in a little late (around 10:25pm, with the kitchen closing at 10.30pm), so things felt just a bit rushed, but the staff handled it with fast and friendly service. The food really blew me away—especially the jalapeño crab Rangoons and the bacon-wrapped stuffing bites. Absolute standouts! Drinks were tasty too; the garnishes could’ve been a touch more polished, but I get that the vibe here leans more toward comfort and creativity than fine dining pretension. What really makes this spot special is the personal touch—the owner, who’s also the chef, came out with the food herself. She’s not only talented in the kitchen but also a great artist, which adds so much character to the place. Definitely want to come back soon for brunch—if dinner was this good, I can only imagine how amazing their brunch spread must be.

What a gem! We visited Moonshine 152 in Boston during a family trip from California and had an incredible time. Chef Asia Mei, daughter of my TaiChi teacher, Master May Chen is truly gifted. The menu is a vibrant fusion of Asian flavors, and everything we tried was delicious. The Korean BBQ tacos were especially spectacular! The atmosphere is upbeat and welcoming, the drinks were fantastic, and the staff made us feel right at home. Whether you’re a local or visiting Boston, this is a must-try spot for a fun and flavorful evening out.

Father's Day dinner at Moonshine 152 was an adventure in flavor. We were lucky enough to have fabulous service from Sandra. We chose to eat family style starting with cocktails and then into appetizers. We shared a few entrees and wrapped up with some amazing deserts. Asia brought us some of our dishes and chatted with us. It was an exceptional experience.

Out of this world delicious. This place is on an other completely different level than any other place that serves food. Cos this place does not serve food. It delivers the most unique, delicious, custom, savory, sweet delicacies from the beautiful mind of chef Mia. This is a bucket list spot for and serious foodies. You will cherish the experience here.

I stumbled across Moonshine 152 on my first night in Boston for a business trip, and I’m convinced I found one of the city’s culinary gems. The cocktails? Spot-on. The food? The kind that makes you pause mid-bite just to appreciate it. And the service? Let’s just say the owner/chef herself came over to our table, chatted with us for five minutes like we were old friends, and even surprised us with a free butterscotch pudding (which, by the way, should be illegal for being that good). I loved it so much, I came back the very next night and it was another flawless experience. Two-for-two on incredible meals, creative drinks, and warm hospitality. Moonshine 152 isn’t just a restaurant, it’s the kind of place you immediately start recommending to everyone you know. Also, our waiter, Ben, was funny, attentive, and fun to talk to. Five stars, no hesitation. If you’re in Boston, do yourself a favor and go. Then go again.

1st meal as a new Boston resident . Food was amazing. Staff members were professional and friendly! Thank you for your warm welcome. We look forward dining at Moonshine in the years to come. Chef Asia we LOVED every dish!!!

I've been here twice and both times it was pretty empty which surprised me! I 100% recommend the donuts they have, they're not too sweet and are very filling. As for the chicken, the two flavors i had were i believe korean bbq (left) and classic crunch (right). both pretty good, as were the fries. service was good

Ordered half and half tenders for takeout. Food came out fast, as in 5-10 minutes. Like some of the other reviews said, it was pretty clear why the dredge was so thick. They most likely refried a bunch of leftovers. Never had Korean fried chicken that tasted like this before, and not in a good way.

I orderd k meal to go for 6. It comes with 12 wings and 6 drums with the house fried rice and fries . The chicken flavor I choose was yangnyeom, this is a new flavor for me I really enjoyed it. The other flavor was spicy and I really enjoy the heat as well. The fries was very crispy and delicious. The fried rice was very flavorful me and my family enjoyed it all . The really special thing here is the fry chicken, the way they cook them is very unique I honestly don't know how they do it . I love it. I highly recommend this place especially for the Chicken wings..

Really awesome place, super yummy and fresh. Loved that they do lunch specials and a limited dollar deal. Service is great, super cute vibe, I got 12 wings and it was super filling. All the sauces are amazing. Definitely will go back again. Every wing is jumbo sized and breaded.

Food Quality: 🍽️🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Bonchon never disappoints. The Bulgogi Fried Rice was an absolute delight, bursting with savory flavors that left us craving for more. The Chicken Wings, (half and half) were equally impressive, with their crispy perfection and delicious sauces. Service: ✨🕴️🌟🌟🌟🌟 The staff was attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. It added to the overall positive experience. Ambiance: 🎶🏞️🌟🌟🌟🌟 The restaurant's ambiance was inviting and its relaxed. Value for Money: 💰😄🌟🌟🌟🌟 In terms of value for money, Bonchon is on point. The portion sizes were generous, and considering the quality of the dishes, it was great! Overall Experience: 🌌🔮🌟🌟🌟🌟 The Bulgogi Fried Rice and Chicken Wings were beyond amazing, and the Tteokbokki was a delightful surprise- it was my first time trying this dish. I would wholeheartedly recommend all the dishes we tried. Would you recommend this restaurant to others? Yes! Without a doubt.

The spice made my friend cry but the food is great. Look at that katsu

Stir-fried udon with bulgogi is good. Chicken katsu was ehhh. Wouldn't recommend given bonchons just has better options. Korean corndog was also mid. The mozzarella on the inside needed to be melted a bit more, but if they did that, the potato on the outside would probably be burnt. Idk how other Korean corndog places do it. Also, I chose to get it rolled in sugar cinnamon, but couldn't taste any cinnamon and the sugar was a bit light.

What a great surprise!! From the outside not much to look at-inside, a busy crowded restaurant and bar. A fancy-dive bar with a diner feel. We had a great time, service was great and the French fries are to die for!!! The chick Caesar sandwich was super tasty. We will be back.

Amazing food. It looks like a place you scurry by quickly on the road, but once you’re inside it is a whole new experience. We had the corn dog, tater tots, Mac & Cheese, and corn bread and they were great. Food brought past us to other tables (hot dog tower, sloppy joes) smelled just as good.

I’ve been here several times and I always enjoy myself. My personal favorites are the Starlite-Style Dog, Fried Chicken, and the Rockin’ Chair cocktail served cold. If you do have a choice on seating and it’s not boiling or freezing outside, the patio/outdoor seating is the place to be. Came back for brunch and it was delicious. Would recommend the blueberry and cheesecake pop-tart!

Trina's was amazing! Our daughter and her fiancé decided on a last minute elopement, and a small dinner at Trina's Starlite Lounge after the wedding. The management and staff were so accommodating and wonderful with us! They made sure we had room for 12 all together and were on top of everything we needed, including vases of water for the bouquets while we ate! The food was delicious and the whole evening was wonderful. 5 Stars all around!

Trina's is one of the best places in the world! No matter how much time has passed and no matter who is working it feels like walking into a warm hug in bar form. Food is delicious, drinks are perfect and the service is obviously a 10/10. Monday brunch is a treasure

All the food was good, had the fried chicken and it was delicious. Great selection of specialty hot dogs. The real stars were the sweet dishes: the cornbread with honey butter and the hush puppies with maple butter dipping sauce. Very sweet yet savory and indulgent. Some of the best southern style food I've had in Boston.

Hands down my favorite double cheeseburger, classic drinks, chill laid back vibes and excellent service. Vanessa and Izzy took great care of us 🙏🏽✨ Also love their industry brunch on mondays!

Really nice local bar. Not a pub. Not a cafe. Not pretentious. Just a good Boston bar! Highly recommended.

Big thanks to Jez for bailing me out. I got away with it. Good beer, great service. It was a month or so ago. Love Dave from England. I owe you! I was probably wearing a hat.

Happened on this place by chance after Somerville's Porchfest, and was very glad we did. First off, unlike a lot of sports bars which have a few large screens and small screens scattered around, this has many small screens everywhere. This way, you're never out of view of a game. Saves your neck a lot of turning. Then, the drinks are pretty good. And they pour a beautiful glass of Guinness. The food was great, loved the fries with parmesan. Overall, an awesome place to grab a drink and watch the game with a couple of friends.

Get the blackened chicken sliders, they are so good! Attentive, personable, staff, who enjoy their jobs. I'd like to hear some Aerosmith cranked up during commercials.

This place is the worst! Not worth stepping foot inside. Their food sucks. Horrible service. The manager is also a piece of work. Plenty of places that are way better to check out.

Excellent wings. The owners are great people. Fun neighborhood bar that is worth 15 plus visits.

Awesome bartender! Feel bad I forgot his name because he was fantastic! Drinks and sports were all we did. Super friendly regulars too.

So I went for the first time recently and I had an amazing time. This place is arguably the best Black Restaurant and Best Restaurant period in Boston. The location and interior of the place are so luxurious and the food I got which were the Oxtail & Grits, and Cast Iron Mac & Cheese were so flavorful, and the drinks I got were the Miami Beach and Black Gold were some of the most creatively tasteful alcoholic drinks I’ve ever had. Combined with Great service from people and a well alive atmosphere featuring musical entertainment will definitely have me comeback again.

Had a vibrant experience here , as expected based on the first hand recommendation I got( from a older couple ) and Google reviews. I expected a rich mix of Jamaican/ southern cuisine and that was up to par. My favorite was the upsidedown pineapple cake with coconut- to die for! That pasta was just delish - what an 👏 amazing sauce! I booked a table at the stage which was worth the added cost for entertainment but be aware it can be very loud when its time to chat with your server and your diner guests. I think Because the area is so small and clustered at the stage is just felt awfully loud because the maximized all space so you're literally sitting at the stage. Lol This ambiance is one for mingling and having fun..not your mellow jazz and eat, its more up tempo and very vibrant scene . That weekend night a week ago was off to a delayed start. Almost a 20 minute wait for all 9:30 seating and Im wondering if its because its such a entertainment atmosphere, people hardly leave their table , because are enjoying the show they paid for. Not sure, but my guess. Other than that, great night. Pleasant staff, very charming! I recommend this place for a fun night on the town- girlfriends, couples outing if looking for a upbeat night. Id go back, but not a big deal like that for me.

This place is unreal. I felt like I was transported to another place & time. It felt like some speakeasy in Chicago during Prohibition. I saw a jazz singer named Angelena Hightower and her band who was sensational. The decor, the cocktails, and super service were superb. The food was good too. I highly recommend. Dome people were dressed very, very nicely, but I didn't feel uncomfortable dressed business casual. You NEED reservations. Highly recommended!

Came here with a group of 8 for a birthday celebration and it was exactly what we were looking for! The staff were incredibly attentive and kind. The music was OUTSTANDING and the overall ambiance was reminiscent of upscale speakeasy you’d find in like New Orleans or Memphis. The cocktails were also expertly crafted. We did enjoy the food but could have been elevated a little more with some more creativity and stronger flavors. But honestly, we left VERY happy and will certainly return often.

From Lloyd to Aidan, this was an unforgettable experience! I ended up going on Sunday after missing out on Saturday night — and wow, I heard Saturday’s show was incredible. Even so, Sunday did not disappoint. The energy, the people, the vibe — everything was on point from start to finish. I ordered the calamari for appetizers and mt main course was oxtails and grits. Chef’s kiss🥰! Whether you’re there for the music, the food, or just the atmosphere, this is the kind of experience that stays with you. This is top of pf my list the next time I’m in Boston!

Absolutely loved my time here! My first time in Boston and found this spot on tik tok and it delivered! Perfect for groups and solo travelers! The salmon with dirty rice was delicious and so much flavor! My waiter was quick and polite all night no issues at all. The music and drinks were lovely as well such a great vibe. I will 100% be returning :)

Our food was wonderful very great taste. The vibe is perfect for a date night. Staff was very good to us. Menu has great food but would like a few more options in pasta or even a traditional steak dinner with roasted potatoes or fries is all it would add but overall that place was wonderful and great for any special occasion. The rice could use a bit more something my girl said who is Dominican but was fine for me.

Stopped in for the first Notre Dame game of the season! This bar hosts events for the Notre Dame Club of Boston. The atmosphere was perfect and we were treated to complimentary popcorn and a jumbo screen playing the game outside. It was a unique experience, and we wish we lived closer to attend all future games. The specialty drinks are extremely expensive - in my opinion, not worth it. I would stick with the various beers and seltzers they sell. While we didn’t get a chance to try their food menu, we saw their nachos, which had us drooling. We'll be sure to get them next time!

10/10 would recommend sweating with friends in public again. The drinks were cold, the outfits were hotter, and the only thing more consistent than the heat was our group’s inability to take a serious photo. Came for the socializing, stayed for the scenic steps and accidental group cardio. Bonus points for the patio seating and someone’s wildly floral shirt that doubled as event decor. Would I go again? Only if I can bring my emotional support White Claw and this chaotic crew. 💦☀️🍹

Very overrated. The place is not in such cool location to charge what they do. And that would be fine if they'd advertise their prices correctly. I made the mistake of not asking beforehand the cost of a canned beer. I should have. Because no one should pay $14 for a canned beer with no service. They won't even take your order to the table. And they have the audacity to ask for a tip. Everyone is free to run their business as they please and clients can freely decide whether to spend their money on them. But not showing their prices is deception and not fair for the consumer. I am not even sure they're complying with the. Massachusetts General Laws (Chapter 138, Section 15). Nevertheless, I will definitely never go back again. Follow up to the manager response: Prices were not clearly displayed in the menu in the screens. That's call deception. If you actually check my review history you will find it's actually pretty good. You'll find very VERY few poor reviews. And you'll find a huge array of reviews from all over the world. Table service is not really existing when you wait 20+ minutes and no one shows up to your table when you have an occupancy close to 50%. Staff is not what one would consider nice either. Management replies are really the "keyboard warrior" here. No apologies. No taking into account what a customer says. Just check other responses. Just entitlement and condescending tone. I am happy to edit my review to the lowest rating possible 🤭

I haven’t eaten here, but I have Salsa danced quite a few times, and it is a great spot on the water with excellent dancers! They even have a free lesson if you wanna try it.

Suavecito at The Anchor is a unique venue where you find good music, great dancing, amazing views and very friendly staff.

Amazing staff!!! Awesome atmosphere and great drinks and food options too, and the staff were truly exceptional. They went out of the way to help set up a tv for this lone Eagles fan and totally made my day!! I’m so appreciative and loved hanging out in the awesome patio spaces with some epic Halloween decor. I had such a fun day here and thank you again to the wonderful staff!

I went twice on Monday evenings for dancing and enjoyed myself. Both times I got there late and missed the lessons, but got to dance with some wonderful ladies. Some changes I would suggest are: 1: Tell the DJ to not play merengue back to back and limit it to about 5% of the music. A couple weeks ago the DJ played way too much merengue, which exhausted many of the ladies, causing many of them to take more breaks than usual. 2: I know it would be a lot of work, but can we level the dancefloors please? If you want help with getting it done, just ask. I've managed projects like that before. 3: This Monday there were people standing on the dancefloor next to where I was dancing, and getting in the way. I asked them if they could "please give us some more space", and they scowled at me and acted like I was the asshole, saying "Excuse me? Where else are we supposed to stand?" when there was a lot of open blacktop that's not suitable for dancing but perfectly suitable for standing. At other dances, I've seen people get hurt pretty badly when they got too close to dancers who were doing fast spins. I would really appreciate it if you would post signs that say "The dancefloors are for dancing. If you're not dancing, please stay off them." because even without people standing and walking on them, the dancefloors get too crowded to do a lot of the dance moves I enjoy the most. 4: I would suggest increasing the size of the danceable area. One thing I've seen that worked surprisingly well was when a friend of mine created a portable dancefloor by laying down a roll of linoleum on blacktop to make a danceable surface. I noticed some low stage-like platforms that were almost always empty, but look like they might be perfect for dancing on. I suggested to a woman I was about to dance with that we dance on one of the platforms, but she said that she had been yelled at for getting on one. It would be nice if some of us more experienced dancers were allowed to dance on those platforms so that we can do more elaborate dance moves without having to worry about someone getting seriously injured because of a collision. Fortunately Havana Club opens before The Anchor closes, so I was able to go there and lead another skilled dancer in turn sequences that would be risky and virtually impossible on a crowded dancefloor at The Anchor. I'll be back with my fellow Salsaholics for more dancing, but I'll probably leave for Havana Club before 9pm.

Hot Chix Boston is a Chicken Sandwich and quick service meal place located in the heart of Cambridge. We found this while driving by, and decided to stop in and grab a bite. The place has some nice atmosphere, with many tables throughout. The staff is friendly and welcoming, and made the meal quick and didn't make us wait too long. There could be more decor, but the decor they did have was pretty unique and fits the vibe of the restaurant. As for the food, it was good. The Nashville Hot Chicken was juicy and had good flavor, and the chicken patty was crispy and went well with the ingredients. We also tried the Old Bay French Fries, which were good, though I thought it could've had more seasoning. Overall, still a great spot to visit in the area.

Awesome spicy chicken sandwich and seasoned waffle fries, and will definitely be back! Also interested in the hot chicken honey biscuit and banana pudding on the menu. Had HotChix on my 'to visit' for a while, and glad I finally tried it. Adding chicken biscuit :) photo from followup visit.

Surprisingly friendly service for a fast-casual spot. Alex smiled every time he spoke with me and even thought to offer me water as I waited for my food. The hot chicken sandwich scratched the itch: juicy, crispy/crunchy, and even their mild has a bit of kick to it! Overall impressed by an experience that easily could have been mediocre but instead has me ready to come back.

Hot Chix gave me one of the best spicy chicken sandwiches I’ve ever had. The chicken was perfectly seasoned and juicy, but the real standout was the sauce. It was flavorful and totally delicious. It added just the right amount of moisture to the sandwich. The pickles and soft bun brought it all together. It was so good after my first one, i had to go back for a second sandwich and extra sauce. If you’re a spicy chicken connoisseur like myself, this place is a must.

Jun2025: This place hit the spot. We met one of the owners Alex and his presence primed our score. Fries 10/10 mac n cheese: 8/10 sammich: 8.5/10. Fries were crispy to perfection only con is the ketchup had high fructose corn syrup . Mac n cheese was too gooey for me. Sammich was delicious we had hot spicy level and will be coming back!

Ordered the Nashville chicken sandwich and lemon pepper wings with blue cheese dipping sauce for take out. I didn’t have to wait long for it. The service staff were really friendly! The blue cheese sauce was to die for. Very generous chunks of blue cheese inside. The wings were so crispy and the sandwich was not dry at all. 100% better than chick-fil-a.

I’m very surprised at how good both the sandwiches I got were. I first tried the Nashville hot chicken sandwich which was really good spicy & flavorful, after that I got the the fried shrimps sandwich which I must say was my favorite. Really nice & crispy & very delicious just overall great when your around the area in the mood.

Great food and drinks. The vibe here was really cool and chill. We stopped in after seeing a show at TD Gardens on a Saturday night and were able to find a table. We had so much fun and the bartenders were super fast and nice. Will definitely visit again next time I’m in Boston.

First off, do not believe the picture from the website. It's way dingier than that, which I actually like. I think my experience would have been totally different if the bartender wasn't _such a jerk_. Everything we asked for (drinks, dinner) got the equivalent of an eye roll. No forks with the food, had to get up and ask--he gave us 1. The music was earsplitting super rude rap that was so bad it was laughable. We figured it must have been the bartender spinning his own tunes (keep your day job buddy). That said, the turkey burger was good enough, if you could get everything you wanted to consume it. (Hot sauce? You want hot sauce? Let me wait on these 3 other people first even though it is in a cabinet at my right knee and you came to the bar to collect it.) Luckily there was no "can I get you something else?"...

Excellent! They had live music and they were fantastic. We were able to get our drinks quickly, sit in the back, and cuddle and listen to people sing. It was a great way to finish our evening.

After a full day touring Boston we dropped into Teddy’s for a drink. We had the great time enjoying good drinks, food, games, company with the best bartender Nelson!! Boston did not disappoint and this was a great way to end our night!

Good atmosphere! Little pricey but the pizza is good bar pizza!

Great times popped in a few times on my most recent visit to Boston, everyone from Tony at the door to all the bartenders i met were amazing! Really felt like i was a regular.. Nelson and the rest of the crew were amazing!! Looking forward to my next trip to Boston cause Teddys will be my first stop!!!

Lovely dark bar with a good vibe and better food. $4.75 Narragansett, several brekkie taco options for all diets. All delicious. Super cool spot. Can't wait to come back!

Easily the most aesthetically appealing bar I’ve ever been in. A great restaurant disguised as a vintage dive bar, but not in a pretentious way. Interesting drink options on the menu.

They should add a swastika to their trans flag out front - it would help their clients know what kind of people they serve. It's a win-win honestly, it keeps the colored folks away. I tried to order at the bar. The bartenders seem reluctant to look at me in the eyes. In fact, they seemed reluctant to serve me at all. I had to run around the bar 5 times, and I'm not unnoticeable. Eventually I waved a guy down who said "I'll get right back to you" after which a girl said "I can help you". And as someone who is of color, this makes me sad. And after all this, I discovered there was a mandatory 20% tip. I was upset, but the host and the waiter were very helpful so I didn't mind. I later went to the bar again to ask for water, and the bartender seemed allergic to my eyes yet again. Great bar, just not the nicest bartenders, but your mileage may vary based on your skin tone. Edit: Sometimes, I do not buy alcohol due to my intentions of lowering alcohol consumption. I just come here for music and/or dinner most times. Also, sometimes I stretch my back in public, for which I've been understandably asked to stop, and so I stopped. This time, I was asked to leave because I didn't buy alcohol (I didn't feel my body needed more alcohol) or food (kitchen was closed). I wanted to listen to music and watch a game of pool. And somehow my existence was a source of discomfort to some (supposedly by the bar staff) and I was asked to leave. Nicholas. I really thought you saw me as a person. I'm sad. I want to say I will be back, but honestly, it's hard to feel welcome. I actually forgot you guys completely ignored my first time of trying to get your attention, which I couldn't help but wonder if this was straight up you guys not wanting to serve an Oriental. Do Oriental lives matter? It's hard to say what these people think, but I just know I ran around the bar 5 times to catch the bartenders' eyes (they weren't busy) When you don't see me as a person, you will see me as whatever you want to see me as. I don't know how your bartenders see me, or if they see me at all. If you guys aren't inclusive, don't pretend to be and take down symbols that imply you guys are. Hey bartenders - if you're going to kick out people for not buying anything at a (god forbid) 3rd space like a pub, do you deserve that 20% tip? Second Edit: I went back to see a show, and Nicholas tried to be a big bad bully and tried to push me away. I asked politely to be shown to the door by security, and this silly big man tried really hard to push me out. I'm sorry Nicholas, I'm not a little weak Asian man like you thought, and it's not my first time a white man tried to push me around due to my ethnic background. I used my strength and pulled him off of me. I didn't feel good having to get physical with an obese man because I didn't want to hurt him, but I have boundaries which he was violating me by putting his hands on me. I said I will leave if security came and escorted me out, yet this silly guy still tried to push me out. I pulled him off of me yet again - and even then I was worried I might accidentally hurt him. You finally stopped after I threw you off me twice. My man Nicholas, you're big, not strong. If you ever have any back issues, you will be in an insane amount of pain given your physique. Maybe then, you'd then understand why I stretch my back, even if I know I look ridiculous. So that you are aware, Nicholas, I held back when I pulled you off of me. I held back a lot. I was defending myself from you, but I did not want any physical escalation in the first place - the person who wanted physical confrontation was you Nicholas. Given your propensity to escalate to the physical scuffle, Nicholas, I recommend that you become strong first. I am saying this is for your own safety, because there's bad people out there. This place is a joke. It's really funny how someone thought because he was fat, he could push me around. Don't put hands on me cuz I'm Oriental. Stay classy State Park. Edit 3: Added video of physical confrontation

We had a wonderful Father’s Day dinner here with our party of 9 last night! Drinks and food were delicious and our server Jess was extremely kind, personable, and super fun! Biscuits were a hit and our burgers and fries were mouthwatering! 10/10 for food AND service. The best combo! Excited to come back.

I went to State Park for brunch and I really loved the El Camino breakfast taco, definitely one of the best I've had! Unfortunately the asparagus taco didn't really work for me. I appreciated the bottomless coffee and the staff was fantastic, everyone was very friendly and happy to let my group linger after we finished eating. I would recommend State Park for brunch and definitely plan to come back for drinks.

The menu is interesting and the food is good. There's a little something for everyone. You can get a cheap beer or a nice cocktail. There's easy snacks like pickles or a rich dish like the roasted pork shank that was on special. I love the atmosphere. The staff was kind, helpful, and relaxed. I look for excuses to go here. If there's no live music, there's a pool table. If there's no DJ, there's a shuffle board table. They have at least one pinball machine.

Mediocre service and food with mandatory tips. Despite three front-of-house staff and only one other table, it took the waiter 8 minutes to greet me and ask for my drink order. I didn't let on at any point that I wasn't impressed, but they seemed perturbed by my presence, never smiled, forgot to ask if I wanted fries or salad with my burger, and when I called them back to ask for salad they did not tell me the "house salad" would be *only* lettuce and dressing. The burger itself was very meh (seriously, even a Big Mac is probably tastier), and it was all ( "all" not being much at all, honestly) crowded onto a side (tiny) plate. For this fully underwhelming experience a 20% gratuity is automatically applied to every bill.

The food is amazing, the beef and chicken melt in your mouth. The patties are spicy with wonderfully flaky crusts. The cabbage is perfectly cooked with a lovely cruch. The service is very efficient. The venue is average, usually pretty hot in the summer.

Oxtail is TOO expensive for yall to be serving it BURNT!!! I am so irritated I only ate the rice and peas. This is why people don’t want to come in the evening because they scrap the bottom of the pot. I spent $30 here including drinks to be disappointed. I gave this location a chance and I truly regret it

I know the real deal Jamaican good from the island directly and this is not it. Not enough flavor for the curry chicken. Rice was too steamy overcooked, no flavor, bland, the gravy from the curry was bland too. Chicken seemed steamed. When you try to cook a lot of food, you lose quality. And stop using spices with MSG. Got me bloated all evening and feeling sick.

This Jamaican restaurant is my go to spot and they never disappoint.. the staff are always nice too and I appreciate having a good meal, being full off of it, and then flushing it down with the green Ting… Thanks for the chef’s for making the magic happen, yall deserve the Purple Heart fr!

This place by far has slipped down a hole of messy . Got a Patty they threw cold cheese and coco on a cold patty . I wanted to go back but it wasn’t worth it. Everything is nasty and the ppl rude as ever . Bread dry , cheese half frozen 🤬🤬🤬oh and 2 patty with 2 drinks was 26 dollars now that’s another part that piss me off

Grove hall & Randolph location argue with their customers & argue amongst themselves in front of customers. So unprofessional! This morning I went to the grove hall location to get chicken soup. I paid and something told me to check it before I left. Jamaican chicken soup is usually made with pumpkin but this soup was brown with beans. I’ve NEVER had beens in my chicken soup before. Only in veggie soup. I brought it to the lady’s attention & she quickly got an attitude & told me I need to ask what’s in it next time! I’ve never had to ask before, why now! Due to her NASTY ATTITUDE I then proceed to ask for my money back! They’re in there creating their own recipes and not informing their customers. I work hard for my money & I refuse to pay/support disrespectful businesses. My family & I will no longer be supporting this business until I speak to with the owner.

They are very rude in here! The lady with the braided hair into a bun, very disgusting attitude! Part of a good business, is good customer service! I went in to get my order, and she was very nasty and rude, giving me attitude! Like lady all I said was I was here to pick up an order. No need to be rude!! I won’t be coming here again.

This is a solid soul food restaurant! Their fried chicken, macaroni and cheese, and vanilla cake are very good. The collard greens and cornbread are ok. Small restaurant dining room so probably best to take out.

I was looking forward to trying this place based on the reviews, but the food didn’t live up to my expectations. The chicken was over fried and lacked flavor, and it tasted like the oil may have been old. The mac and cheese was also on the dry side, collard greens were good, and best part of the plate was their cornbread. . Overall I give my plate 7/10..

Solid spot for Soul food/Fried chicken cravings. First heard about this spot a year ago from my friends dubbing it the best soul food restaurant in the GBA. With limited opening hours, it took me some time to finally make it here, but this week, I managed to visit for lunch The restaurant was quite small, with just seven seats squeezed into its modest space. Most people seemed to know the drill, grabbing their orders to go, but with a menu learning heavily on fried options, we decided to dine in while everything was still hot and crispy. We opted for the Fried Chicken Thighs and Fried Catfish combo plates, and both delivered on flavor. The chicken thighs were our favorite—perfectly seasoned, not overly greasy, and juicy. The catfish was also nice with its tender and flaky meat. However, the portions felt a bit small for the price, and while we dove in as soon as the plates hit the table, everything was lukewarm. Among the sides, the Mac N Cheese was our favorite. The other offerings—Candied Yams, Collard Greens, and Rice & Beans—were solid but fairly basic. From the hot oven display, we tried the Beef Patty. The flavors were there, but it was a tad dry. It really could have benefited from a good dipping sauce. Not entirely sold on my friends’ claim that this is the best soul food spot in the area. Yet, with limited options for Southern soul food in Cambridge/GBA, I would probably come back if I’m craving for good fried chicken and Southern comfort food.

The area is completely "dead" and the Collards Greens were cooked ,with Turkey and weren't that good. Never again. It cost me close to $10.00 .

If you are wanting soul food and in the area you would be hard pressed to find better. We got the coast wings and the fried breast meals with a slice of sweet potato pie. The meals come with 2 sides so we got the green beans, rice and beans, candied yams and the mac and cheese. The wings do not have breading and that changes the texture but not the flavor. The seasoning of the chicken is a good classic chicken without trying to be the Nashville hot style. All of the sides were good. But the best side is the corn bread that comes with the meals. The sweet potato pie is the version that is very close to pumpkin pie.

Only few would understand these following words: Food that comes from the soul is becoming a rarity. Why? It requires a certain individual to do things that normal society nowadays are not willing to partake in. The sacrifices that come with avoiding shortcuts, with choosing to maintain tradition, with maintaining quality over profit…those things are truly something that has become impossible to find. I’ll keep this review short. Just take it from someone who actually knows what goes on behind the scenes *here* and appreciates it. Family business for 20+ years, doing the same thing following family recipes from grandma and doing her proud sharing the gem of food that they still serve up to this day. Mind you, it’s easy to be complacent…but they choose not to be. If you want fried chicken that is cooked well Mississippi style (or fulfill whatever “south” you hail from) from scratch, this be your spot. It’s Boston. You can have real fried chicken or you can have “whatever” fried chicken. I rather have “real” fried chicken to appease one who actually has significantly travelled the south. Those who know. I’ll see you there.

I got the fried catfish plate with yams and Mac and cheese. I love soul food, but this was so disappointing. Everything tasted old and microwaved. The Mac and cheese was dry and the fried catfish was soft and nothing tasted freshly made. Everything was at least seasoned and the cornbread was good but those are the only positives.

FIYA HEN is an Asian restaurant located outside of the main campus of BU, specializing in a wide range of dishes, such as chicken rice, Korean corndogs, and Taiwanese Popcorn Chicken. I came in after a late night shift at work, and it was nice since this place is open until 2 AM on the weekends. The service was quick and friendly, and they were very apologetic because one of the dishes I ordered was sold out (understandable since I came in at 12 AM), but they provided us with free food and drinks on the house because of it. The food was alright. It was good for the price, the chicken breading is a bit on the heavier side, and the chicken has a lemony taste to it that may be a bit overwhelming for some people. I tried the spicy popcorn chicken with fries, and it was good, the fries weren't that soggy even with takeout, but went decently with the spicy sauce. Overall, a decent location for a late night bite.

Very delicious chicken tenders. They are relatively big size though. We got 10 peices for 2 kids, but 4 was left... We also had fries. Staff was responsive and polite. Nice atmosphere and relatively quiet.

Nice place. A quirky funny kinda smell when you come in. It had just opened for service, maybe a new mop is needed. I ordered a Thai Ice Tea (5 stars), a roti with curry sauce and a six piece spicy korean wings. All were good. I had to send the roti back because it looked anemic. They brought bit back a lot crispier. All in all not too bad an experience.

The food was quite good. The service was very good and I waited less than 10 minutes for my food, though it seems like I came during a slow time of day, so you might have more of a wait.

I was looking for somewhere to eat that was open late and was glad to stumble across this place—it’s open until 2 AM! I was impressed with the clean and spacious interior, great customer service, and nice bathroom (for customers only). The worker had great tableside manner and maintained professionalism. She even went outside to give orders to a couple of customers who were waiting. Unfortunately, I couldn’t give this place more stars because the food (which should be the star of the show) wasn’t that great. I agree with some of the reviews I read: the breading was thick, which limited how crispy the chicken could get, and the sauces just seemed off. The complimentary gloves are a nice touch, and the fact that they’re halal is also great for people with dietary limitations. Overall, I had a decent experience, and I might go back if I’m looking for a bite to eat later at night but there are better chicken places.

BEST SPOT FOR HALAL FOOD. Amazing staff. Chicken tasted good, maybe it could use a bit more refining for the taste but overall flavorful and good. The staff was SUPER nice and went there extra way to make sure we were accommodated. The Thai tea is amazing if you like earth flavors or milk teas. The burger was also delicious. Be sure to note that their chicken is a bit sweet. The mango and rice dessert was ok~ not too special. Would highly recommend their burgers, fries and Thai tea! The tea is the newest addition that has become a favorite amongst customers

Absolutely amazing food. The flavors were rich and balanced. We tried almost all of their burger flavors and they were all really good and unique. The chicken popcorn was delicious. The Thai toast with condensed milk was so insanely delicious I could have that thing for days. The service was also phenomenal. We really felt so welcome! This is a Boston essential that I would tell everyone to try. Did I mention it’s halal friendly!

I don’t really give bad reviews. So when I walked i explained to the cashier “ hey you guys gave me some old dry chicken 🍗😐 last time I came here so I want it fresh. He said ok cool.. So I left and came back in a couple minutes and it was done a little too fast for my liking. When I looked through the box they had mixed the old chicken with a just a few fresh pieces. I was obviously upset. He apologized and said they would make an all fresh batch so I had to wait another 15 minutes. It’s suck because when it’s fresh it’s really good. So why would you not want to serve the best all the time??

So the Cheese steak was delicious!! 🤩The Main chic was juicy and the tenders were just right. But the slaw🤐🥴😱.never again. So here is a picture of the one my husband has been eating from the grocery store by Reser's on the left/top and the one from side chic is on the right with a bunch of cabbage and slivers of purple onion and dry. So disappointed especially after the host amped it up .lol well I will definitely be getting my cheese steak from there just not the slaw.

Would be a great place but their dipping sauce portions are comedically small. Like two dips and your sauce is gone. Really??? This a chicken place I should be swimming in sauce if I ask for it especially if you are going to charge me $0.75 for it. Jarritos for scale:

Just tried their cheesey steak sandwich, and it was good. I decided to try something different on their menu, and wow, i wasn't disappointed. The size was good for the price, and the amount of meat and cheese in the sub was perfect in my opinion.

Don’t miss out on this hidden gem. Their chicken really is that good! Crispy /flakey fried chicken and lots of different sandwich options. All of their dipping sauces are delicious as well. The staff are helpful and kind too. Also one of the few places around that is open late night.

Went to check out the new place that opened up. The owner was super friendly and nice. Mentioned the chicken is NEVER FROZEN and ALWAYS FRESH. Battered right when we ordered so maybe order ahead if you don’t want to wait. Chicken sandwiches were crispy, juicy and tasted great. Bone-in Wings were heavenly battered, hot & crispy. Would highly recommend this place to a friend and come back

First visit to the restaurant and I received great hospitality from the person at the counter! He was welcoming and friendly. The meat served was tasty and delicious. Definitely will visit again and eat Biryani.
