    First time in this place, looks like there are pretty good selection for the menu. Excited to try it since I'm still waiting for my food while writing this. Service was good since there isn't much people around this time.

    Interior

    While the interior was bright and new and their touchscreen ordering system is neat; their food is subpar at best. The spicy crispy chicken sandwich wasn't dry but wasn't juicy neither. The batter was on it was just average. Sweet bread buns was a nice touch and the cole slaw wasn't too overwhelming. There wasn't much sauce on the sandwich but it was like a mildly spicy barbeque sauce. The small waffles on the waffle chicken sandwich were OK, but the drizzle of condensed milk over the whole thing makes it very sticky to handle. The chicken soup was way overcooked. Everything was nearly a dissolved mush and the broth tasted more like a vegetable soup.

    We gave them another try during their official opening weekend and they're definitely more organized but the food is still subpar. CHICKEN: We ordered the deluxe crispy sandwich due to their bogo deal. Unfortunately the chicken was not crispy at all. The cole slaw in the sandwich definitely adds some flavor and texture to the sandwich which I appreciated but probably wouldn't get it again. FRIES: The sweet potato fries were great though hard to mess up. Overall, our two visits ended in disappointment.

    Solid fast casual spot for a chicken sandwich. We ordered the classic chicken sandwich and a fish sandwich. I have to say the fish sandwich impressed me the most. It was crispy and light and it's not often that there's good fish sandwich. The chicken was ok, it wasn't as crispy and not hot either. The sauces carried the meal but not as impressed.

    Had high hopes...but chicken was tough and dry frys were really greasy, "homemade" sauces were mid . Service was fine. The place itself was pretty cool though.

    The chicken wasn't as crispy as I would hope from a crispy fried chicken based shop. Also the fried Oreos are downright soggy. I live next door so traveling the ten feet from their storefront to my apartment shouldn't result in this.

    Malden Center has changed and grown a lot since I was growing up there. The food scene especially, with tons of new restaurants popping up every year. I was excited to see a new fried chicken place, and went there for lunch today. There's a counter, but I used the touch screen at the front to order. It was very easy, but lacked product descriptions and used stock photos. When I saw the digital signs behind the counter, I felt like I had missed out on certain items because they weren't on the touch screen menu! I ended up getting popcorn chicken and fries. My food came out 10 minutes after I ordered. The restaurant was mostly empty, but at least I knew they weren't just microwaving my food. The place looked kind of bland and half-finished, with three small tables and only one real decoration, a neon sign that read "Who touched my chicken lol" When I opened my box in the car, I was initially disappointed. The chicken looked so pale, I was expecting mush. But looks are deceiving, because WOW. Juicy, flavorful, and so freaking good from the first bite. The "Bam Bam" sauce was incredible, like a pineapple chili hot sauce. The fries were good, cooked great and tasted nice. I wasn't expecting the food to be so good, but I'm very pleasantly surprised. With a little clean-up, and another minute in the fryer, this place could be one of the best places in Malden for fast casual chicken lovers like myself.

    Couldn't wait to try once I saw the sign go up, fantastic service, great food at a good value. We tried the spicy fried chicken along with both spicy and regular tenders All were moist, tasty with an awesome crunchy coating!

    Fried chicken and cole slaw.
    Gaillymac M.

    Oh. My. God. This is the most delicious and perfectly fried chicken I've had in 40 years on earth. My only complaint is that the fresh and crunchy cole slaw need a bit of acidity - maybe some vinegar - to balance the richness of the succulent chicken. 11 stars out of 10!

    Poorly managed with lack of costumer service of FOH. Around 30 min wait for 4 orders of fried Oreos!! Don't even bother by! $25 straight to trash!!!

    When I first moved to Malden in 2017 I tried catalinas pizza and I can't say I was a fan. So I…read moredecided not to order from them. Then recently I started seeing a local vegan influencer on Instagram mention how great of a place it was and how many options. Not that I'm vegan but I do prefer to eat their diets. I decided to order on grubhub or one of those delivery apps. I got a vegan buffalo chicken pizza with ranch and OMG it was one of the best pizzas I've ever had!!! I do think the price was very high, I don't know if this is because of the third party app and if it would be cheaper in person or ordering direct. But after seeing how many vegan options they have I will most definitely be ordering from here again!

    They have vegan options and lots of them which is more than I can say for most restaurants,…read moreincluding pizza shops, this includes vegan cheese and vegan meat substitutes. 5+ stars for an extensive selection of vegan options I knew when ordering from here that there must be some reason for the wide divide between high and low reviews, and I'm going to say that for me, the pizza dough was what took away from my inclination to give them 5 stars solely based on the wide variety of vegan and vegetarian friendly items. The dough is fine, I've had much worse (every Greek pizza place), but it wasn't amazing and I see what others were saying with their negative comments. If I was solely rating the pizza dough and not the fact that I love all of the vegan choices, I'd say it's probably a 3. It's just not amazing and memorable in a positive way for me. The sauce was adequate but also didn't leave me craving it. Takeout order was made promptly in the quoted time. Online ordering system was efficient and had a couple of new customer teaser coupons, but don't love that it adds on a $1 platform fee. Street parking isn't easy in this area, but luckily I came during an off hour and parking was available. I'm going to end by saying, they offer a niche you cannot find in many restaurants/ pizza places in the area, which is an extensive selection of veg friendly options and for this, I am inclined to round up any of my opinions. I wish more pizza places would do what they have done to have more veg/vegan friendly choices for customers.
