These burgers and fries were amazing! The service was not great or else this would've been a five star review. It was not that busy so I'm not sure what the issue was but she never came back to check on us and they forgot the lettuce on my burger so I would have loved that on my burger but it was good anyways!! We will be back when in Boston again read more

If you like [nacho] cheese sauce, permit yourself this excess. One of the many reasons gyms were invented is for shameless indulgence (but only every now and then). I ordered a spicy chicken sandwich (officially "But Make it Spicy"), a small side of (regular) fries, and some cheese sauce for dipping. Let me tell you... this stuff doesn't come in a ramekin; it comes in a small bowl! You can comfortably dip a whole sandwich here, and I cleaned the entire bowl unabashedly! The fries were a pleasant surprise. They were salted perfectly, cooked nicely, and were fresh! I am confident they spent no time under a lamp and went straight from the fryer into the basket. Even as I was getting farther into my meal, they retained just the perfect amount of crispness. When dipped in cheese sauce, perfection! Even without all the fancy bells and whistles. Then came the chicken sandwich. While the server warned me this was "very spicy," my desensitized taste buds would call this mild. I liked the bread, the ranch, and the veggies. The chicken itself was breaded pleasantly and was reasonably tender. However, I found the piece that made its way into my sandwich was on the smaller and thinner side. With this, I missed the meatiness you get when biting into a suitably thick piece of fried chicken. This thing was around half an inch in places! The service here is excellent! It is kind, attentive, and fast, considering how fresh the food is. In light of the location, while the fries are a bit pricey, the sandwich is priced reasonably. Despite the chicken being slimmer than I would have liked, I still find it in my heart to bump CGK up to four. The service, fries, and everything else offer enough redemption to save them from the three. read more

Another excellent visit, though less impressive with apps than the glorious burger. Keep reading to the burger. Chicken Wings: Available with or without fries; best option is to order with to kill two birds with one stone. While the tenders are sizable, crisp, and tender, the wings are crisp but embarrassingly small. I went with the "But Make it Spicy" flavor, more of a dry rub leaning toward paste than a sauce. Pro move is to ask for sauce as well and hit it with some Buffalo for a wetter version of heat. Fries: Again not bad, just nothing really noteworthy. 'Merica Style Burger: Second time trying this one, both times with double patties, and both times superbly executed. It has their "signature" beef patty, homemade pickles, well melted cheese, tender griddled onions cut into large pieces, and "Better Than Ketchup Sauce" that blends unobtrusively into the whole. The bun is a buttered and griddled brioche-y number. But the star of the show here is the glorious beef: it's a smash burger style, so they don't ask you temperature, but it comes out really juicy even cooked to medium. You get a good crust, but they don't push down to get it extra crispy, like many smash burgers, so the bonus is not only extra juiciness but also a delicate interior that feels really good. Beefiness is off the charts. The whole thing combines really well and is greater than even the sum of the well-executed parts. It's so good I don't even mind the dinky wings. (Best approach for next time is a second burger, with just one patty and done in a different style, instead of an app.) Highly recommended. (And I've had the fried chicken sandwich at their Malden location and it's great too.) read more

Went there on Sunday and we were seated outside on "the other side." We were brought waters and that was it. We were thinking the server would bring over actual menus so we waited for a bit and when no one came over, we scanned the QR code. We went through the entire menu, decided what we were going to order (I have some dietary restrictions so we have to look a little closer at ingredients), and then waited. We talked and watched the busier bus the table behind us. Then waited some more. Finally I said if someone doesn't come over soon, I saw we leave. We waited some more and finally left. It's a shame as I really wanted to try cgk and she has eaten there before and was a big fan. read more

OMG! This place is amazing and delicious! This time I placed a to go order to bring it back to California to share! I ordered the chicken tenders and a burger.

10/08/24 8:58 pm Service was good, no complaints. Ambiance is just OK, it's a burger spot. I had the Hot Mess and Cheese with an extra patty to make it a double. This is probably in my top five burgers so far. Double Hot Mess and Cheese, "Our signature beef patty, shaved steak, double American cheese, griddled onions, topped with/ House Cheese sauce and Better Than Ketchup" I had this with classic fries in which was just OK. I did not want fries with a bunch of stuff in it. I also had the Mango Lemonade which wasn't bad, it was good as well. read more

Be warned, this one of those places where everything on the menu sounds so delicious that you might contemplate for 20 minutes what to even get! Honestly, I was very impressed by how good their burgers were! They had an intense flavor and such a unique spin on typical sauces like ketchup and their cheese. I ended up getting their hot mess and cheese that was absolutely delicious with their shaved steak and house cheese sauce. My friend got their 'Merica style and claims it's the best burger she's had in her life. Will definitely have to go back to try their other menu items, especially their highly coveted shakes! Truly a crazy good kitchen! read more

Location: Location is 8/10. Super walkable, bunch of stores near by to burn off the food you just tore up. It's nice. Food: the food is great. The bread to meat ratio is perfect. Bun is perfectly warmed, the meat perfectly grilled. The Fries were doin their thing. Everything was delicious, seasoned well. You know it's good when you're stuffed but keep going. Prices: Decent for burgers and fries these days. Average about $20 something bucks. Service: is always good (to me), i haven't gone when it was super busy. During the week and before 6pm. Place is a bit small, and almost underground? Well it is underground but regardless it has a pleasant vibe to it. Decent seating also. read more

Terrible experience at the restaurant. The food was mediocre at best. I went with 5 others and only 1 out of the six of us actually enjoyed their food. Fries are soggy, burgers are dry. Worst part? The service. We were going to pay a 15 percent tip for the bill as for pretty bad service and low quality food. When the bill came, we noticed a 20 percent service charge. The receipt said it was for "tables over 6." Mind you, we were a table of six. So, we asked to waiter to explain this charge. The waiter called the manager over and he proceeded to call us poor and instructed us to eat at the mc donalds if we "didn't want to tip." This was truly an awful experience I will never be returning. Ambiance was crappy. Toilets were dirty. read more

It's been awhile that I crave a burger and fries joint. Especially during the winter season. But, this place will keep your belly warm through out! I stumbled this spot through social media (You should thank em) The food porn got to me and I simply had to try since I was in town. I ordered the double stack bacon burger and let me tell ya ... That burger was a beast of its own! Simply melt in your mouth with dem cheese, the crisp salty bacon, the smash burger patties aroma urgh.... with a side of truffle fries and ended the night with a classic strawberry milkshake. After eating that it just made me want to scream out... mMmMmmm Umerica! When the world is right I would definitely go visit with friends and get our beast mode on. My only complaint is the packaging of the burger. I couldn't get the burger out! Yes, it's perfectly fitted to the size...but gawd dang it I had to stab the thing to get it out! No one likes to kill a burger twice! read more

This place is one of the places I have been to. My girlfriend and I came here for a dinner and we loved the place and the food. We found this place on TikTok and as they recommended on video - we got two cheeseburgers, spicy chicken fries (forgot the name?) and cheese deep. We were choosing between steaks and burgers and I'm glad we came here and found this place. I'll definitely come here again next time I'll be in Boston. Thank you CGK for amazing food and service. read more

For sure grab drinks here as well. Can't really beat burgers on Newbury Street, kinda like you couldn't beat the Celtics with KG, Ray Allen and Pierce. Try it now and thank me later.

If this food was good for you I would have it everyday. That being said it was a great burger and fries. We got the Double Trouble and the Sweet and Spicy Fries. The burger was very good and juicy, the apple bacon and pickled onions went very well with it. The fries were sooooo good. The hot honey has some heat, but was not over baring. The breaded chicken was so good mixed with the other flavors. read more

Thanks Yelp! My office in Back Bay is 0.5 miles from here and I never knew until I scanned Yelp today. What a little gem under the street! I had the chicken and fries---wow. Honestly may be the best chicken I've had anywhere in Boston. I've been to Nashville many times for work and always get the hot chicken there, and the CGK chicken represents! I got the spicy chicken, spicy fries, and burnt butter mayo. While not nearly as spicy, this chicken is in the conversation with Hattie B's and Prince's when it comes to flavor and quality. Get it! read more

I wish there were more vegetarian options than just the veggie burger and fries (all the salads come with meat). The service was quick but a bit spotty, we ordered sodas and they took a while to come, it seemed like the servers were a bit all over the place. It also felt like we were rushed to pay the bill and leave. That being said, the outdoor seating was lovely, and the music was great. The portions were also very fair considering the price point. read more

The wings (make it spicy) were crazy good, nicely crunchy on the outside and tender juicy on the inside. Buffalo chicken fries were excellent, nice heat. They have shakes and drinks that we all enjoyed. We had burgers or chicken sandwiches and they were all excellent. Thanks!! read more

Wow. If you're looking to knock yourself into a proper food coma, this is the spot! The burgers here are *phenomenal*. Apparently this place blew up on TikTok so I was nervous this would be overhyped, but thankfully that was not the case. The place is small and was pretty packed when I came here with some friends on a Sunday afternoon so definitely don't be surprised if there's a long wait. We ended up ordering the: - Hot Mess & Cheese Burger (5/5): So. Good. Loaded with meat and cheese. Super juicy and filling! We also ordered the side of dipping cheese because I saw it on TikTok but honestly, you could do without. The burgers already come with a generous amount of melted cheese! - But Make It Spicy Fried Chicken Sandwich (5/5): This was surprisingly tasty too! Crunchy and delicious, with a little kick (not super spicy though). Loved the homemade buttermilk ranch on top. This worked REALLY well with the burger - order both to get the best of both worlds! - Buffalo & Ranch Chicken Loaded Fries (5/5): This honestly could be a meal on its own. Comes with chunks of crispy fried chicken tenders with buffalo and ranch drizzle on top. *chef's kiss* Service was quick and portions are massive - you will definitely not leave here hungry. Hoping they expand soon! read more

Expensive, rude staff, food made me feel like crap for multiple days afterwards. Wont return.

I feel like it's the smallest restaurants that have the best food! Also, I don't know why, but excited that they also have beer instead of the usual soda. We started with bacon and cheddar fries which had a surprisingly large portion. Following up the fries with a Double Trouble burger. Nice simple burger patty sandwiched between onions and bacon. I loved how quick both our orders came out and the burger was piping out throughout our time here. The only comment my friend had to make was CGK should find a way to prevent the buns from becoming soggy (suggested frying it?). I forgot our server's name, but he was really professional in the way he talked and behaved. Props to him! read more

Didn't feel like cooking so placed an uber eats order. Was fast received in under 30 minutes. I'm overly stuffed and we still have left overs.

Only be more hungry so not to waste food haha! read more

Was curious to try Crazy Good Kitchen, and decided to have it for lunch while we were on Newbury St. My partner and I ordered the 'Merica Style burger, Double Trouble burger w a double patty, and Parmesan truffle fries - TASTE: 4/5 - my 'Merica Style burger really hit the spot, though wish the grilled onions came through a little more. The applewood-smoked bacon and burnt butter mayo sauce were super indulgent in the Double Trouble burger! There was so much Parmesan on the fries, but wish the truffle flavor was a bit stronger too TEXTURE: 4/5 - the sesame brioche buns were perfectly soft and toasted! Paired w the ultra juicy beef patty and melty cheese, amazing though a tad soggy as we kept eating. Fries had a great crisp also PRICE: 3/5 - the single patty prices were reasonable at $13-15, but a double patty adds $5-6. They're 6oz each, so a bit of a splurge SERVING SIZE: 4/5 - the burgers were large & in charge and satisfying, and we got more fries than expected SERVICE: 4/5 - arrived after 11:30am on a Sunday, and came right before CGK started getting filled. Our waitress was attentive and food came out in under 15min ATMOSPHERE: 4/5 - the small, below-ground space makes it feel like a hole in the wall, and the interior is minimal and hip. I had never been to Tapeo, the precious restaurant before CGK, before but you can see remnants of the tapas bar's style and design in the bathroom fixtures PARKING: 4/5 - as always, parking can be tough on Newbury, but we happened to get lucky w a spot literally right in front of CGK read more

Oh my goodness, I can't believe it's taken me so long to finally try CGK on Newbury. Crazy Good Kitchen is an amazing small business and serves delicious fried chicken sandwiches, crazy burgers, and yummy milkshakes. I got the fried chicken sandwich and my boyfriend got the hot mess burger. His burger was dosed with lots of melted cheese and the meat was so tender. I loved my chicken sandwich as it was juicy and NOT dry!! I loved the pickles and the slaw that came with the sandwich. We shared the Parmesan truffle fries and the Oreo milkshake. The milkshake was probably the winner for me as it wasn't overly sweet and thick! I love a good milkshake!! Definitely come by and try this spot! You WON'T be disappointed! read more

My first time dining here at CGK on Newbury during the weekday lunch rush. We were seated inside, but asked to go to their patio seating because there was an unpleasant strong odor looming inside. We could see from inside parties getting seated on the patio and it seemed like our server forgot about us. We were finally seated outside and waited a while before we were able to order or get any water. The table next to us ordered at the same time and received their food and mostly finished it while we were still waiting to get our orders. I got a 3 piece chicken tender with parmesan truffle fries and burnt butter mayo sauce. The chicken here is good, crispy, and filling. I didn't taste anything different from the mayo sauce, but the truffle fries were topped with lots of cheese and crunchy. Our server never checked in on us and we waited a while after finishing our food to ask for the check. Thankfully neither of us were in a rush to get anywhere, but I would have expected more from being on Newbury street. Overall, good food, but lacking in service. read more

Flavors - 4/5 Textures - 4/5 Presentation - 4/5 Value for Money - 4/5 Would return? Yes Must-try: Double Trouble Burger As the name indicates, the food here is crazy good. But you obviously need to ditch your diet at home. The Double Trouble Burger (with double patty) is AH-MAZING. The patty's are crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside and perfectly seasoned and cooked to Medium. The cheese is melted. The bacon is crispy (although chewy in some places). The flavors were harmonious and I could taste every single ingredient on the burger, even the griddle onions and raw onions. The only thing I would add is lettuce and tomatoes for freshness and to balance the fat. I was shocked at how the burger stayed together through every bite and never fell apart... and the burger is huge! How did they do that?! I wish I could say the same about the fried chicken sandwich. I asked for the classic "but make it spicy". The flavor wasn't bad but it was very mildly spiced. The outside was crispy on the edges, but the middle turned soggy pretty quickly. The inside wasn't juicy enough. The piece of chicken is very thick but irregular, which makes the sandwich difficult to eat and get a bite with all the toppings. I also tried the truffle fries which were super crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The truffle flavor was there, but the "parmesan" cheese on it was very weird and unnecessary. Decent fries, but not sure they are worth the extra calories. The portions are huge so this is definitely a fair value for money. read more

Saw an insta video on CGK, been wanting to try ever since. Finally had the opportunity to try on a Friday night. Restaurant was still pretty busy despite it being late for Boston (8:30pm) and rainy outside. Would recommend checking in online before arriving. Had to try everything, milkshake, burger, chicken sandwich, and fries with a side of dipping cheese. The milkshake wasn't anything to write home about. Wasn't bad, but too expensive for too little, mostly just whipped cream. The burger was juicy and flavorful even without the cheese dip. The dip wasn't creamy and watery as the video I saw. It was pretty solid and stuck on the burger pretty well. But the cheese itself was prefect for the burger. The burger itself was pretty salty and the cheese was a bit more mild. Definitely was a nice contrast in taste and did enhance the burger a lot. The spicy chicken sandwich was well flavored as well. It is decently spicy so would caution for people that just want a hint of spice. Nothing special about the fries but the parmesan truffle flavoring was on point. Overall, had a great meal, would definitely come back. Would skip the milkshake and check in online. read more

For full transparency - this meal was paid for but the prices are a bit high for what you get. The food is great, burgers are high quality and juicy. The fries were a highlight but I'm a sucker for good garlic parm fries! The shakes were delicious too so really happy with all the food. The service is not amazing as it does take a decent amount of time to order + get your food. read more

Great food and friendly staff -Parmesan truffle fries: crispy fries with truffle seasonings on top. Great size and flavors. -Merica hamburger: Perfect size for a person. Tastes excellent with the right amount of cheese, patty, and veggies. -Double trouble: I'd say bacon in Merica style. Taste wise I don't find diff with Merica, but it was still good. -Hot mess and cheese: Like the title, if you like cheese melting in, go for it. The cheese tasted like more bottomless nacho cheese. -Ordered two sodas, but they tasted very bland and less sparkly. read more

Was with someone visiting from Paris who was craving an "American burger". They tried to convince me to go to Shake Shack (maybe I'm a biased west coaster, but we might as well have gone to McDonald's then‍). After looking at a few restaurants in the area, we settled on CGK, tgod! Not only do they have an assortment of burgers, but chicken sandwich options, as well. They got a "hot mess & cheese" + local IPA, I had the "'merica style" + a margarita, and we shared truffle fries and a side of cheese sauce. We didn't finish the fries because we were so pleasantly stuffed from our burgers - but had I had an air fryer back at my hotel, I would have brought the fries home w/ me. 5/5 happy & would go back if I wanted a burger in Boston. read more

Service was okay, the front staff was super nice. When I arrived they gave the wrong food, and when I asked for my order it seemed they didn't start it. The food was okay, I think I would have enjoyed it more if they took off what I asked and added what I paid for. Not entirely sure if I would go back just cause I don't know if I want to risk the time and the money again. I will admit that it was late at night but it's still an unfortunate experience. read more

From the moment I looked at the menu, I knew I was in for a treat. The variety of options was impressive, ranging from classic comfort dishes to more adventurous flavor combinations. I started off with the steak bomb fries, a great twist on a classic appetizer. The steak was perfectly cooked and the fries were extra crispy. For my main course, I opted for the classic spicy chicken sandwich. The dish was bursting with flavor, with just enough heat that'll make you want more. It was the perfect portion size and left me feeling satisfied but not uncomfortably full. But the real standout for me was the dessert/drink. I tried the Mocha brownie shake. The thick brownie on the top as well as the coffee beans inside was perfectly balanced with the sweetness of the shake. It was the perfect compliment to an amazing meal. read more

I have been craving a good burger and fries for awhile & have come away disappointed & not able to satisfy my craving at some places recently. This place did it! It hit the spot & was exactly the type of burger and fries to make me happy! I got the Oklahoma style burger w/ fries and it was delicious! Just the right size (I did the single) and the flavor was fantastic. I don't think I have ever really tried a smash burger style burger before and I really enjoyed it. I definitely will come back when the craving hits again. read more

TLDR: killer classics done well My favorite fried chicken sandwich in Boston. Plus all the other options are good too! I've gotten the milkshakes which are solid. There's indoor and outdoor dining. No alcohol yet but the server mentioned October things might happen soon. Update: they have a full bar now. Now over a year later I've been back several times and the food is still phenomenal. I've had the burgers and the chicken sandwich and they all are stellar. Can't go wrong with CGK! read more
