Been going to and ordering from CGK for years and years surprised I have never wrote a review. LOVE the burgers, Love the shakes, Hate the prices.. I also wish there were a few more things on the menu but I understand - have a few things, Excel at them and why have more!? Totally get it. Get the side of cheese sauce to dunk, you wont be disappointed! read more

Crazy Good Kitchen is solid. Really good smash burgers, but I'd recommend doubling up on the patties, the single is pretty thin. The extra patty costs $5, which feels a little steep, but it definitely makes the burger much better. The regular fries are crispy and really well done. We also tried the spicy fries since we love heat, but beware: they were heavily caked in seasoning to the point where it became overpowering and a bit unpleasant. Overall, really good burgers and fries. Shell out the extra $ for double patty and maybe skip the spicy upgrade. read more

Stumbled upon this place via Google and an overwhelming urge to not cook dinner last night. Was craving something hearty and heavy and the menu looked like it could satisfy those needs. Pretty simple and straightforward menu; a burger smorgasbord, chicken sandwiches galore, and a variety of loaded fries. Honestly, for something so straightforward I had trouble choosing, but eventually settled on Steak Bomb fries and 10 chicken wings. I know, not a burger or a chicken sandwich, but the fries looked so damn good. "You can't judge a book by its cover" need not apply. The entree tasted better than it looked. Shredded steak, melty cheese, sautéed peppers and onions, piled high on golden, crispy, thick cut french fries and topped with fresh chopped parsley. Still steaming upon arrival and smelling like they were heaven sent. The various flavors were so distinct yet somehow merged to create one mouthwatering unique experience of its own. Absolutely delicious. The wings were okay, but seemed a little dry and fairly small in size. I didn't like how there was only one option when ordering the 10 piece, even the sauce option was either "burnt butter mayo" or "barbecue". No garlic parm? Nothing with some heat? Either way, they were decent enough, just not something I'd order again. Did I mention we ordered delivery? The speed and accuracy in which we received order was outstanding and worth noting. We're 20 minutes from the place in a suburb of Boston and had our food in under an hour. Impressive! Overall, the Steak Bomb fries won me over. My only regret is not ordering one of the big, smash patty stacked, juicy-ass burgers. I'll definitely do that next time. read more

Crazy Good Kitchen - Steak Bomb Fries: this is after I devoured half of the order. - Chicken Wings Near Me - Malden, Massachusetts

Today we got take out from here. We got the double trouble burger and the Oklahoma style burgers. Both of these we felt were extremely over priced at 15 & 13 dollars, respectively. We also got plain fries and the buffalo chicken fries. The plain fries were just that - Very plain, no frills. The Buffalo chicken fries were well done, but again, the fry itself is just mildly decent. The inside of the restaurant is a small, carryout only style spot. I believe in the summertime there are a few chairs on the patio. I would like to try this spot again, and would love to see the quality of ingredients improve, and more properly reflect the price point!! Side note, the customer service here is very good. Their online ordering system is extremely easy to use. read more

I visited Crazy Good Kitchen in Medford, and unfortunately, it didn't live up to the hype. The burger was a major disappointment--sloppy and didn't even resemble a proper patty. It was a mess. The chicken sandwich wasn't any better; it felt soggy and undercooked, which made it hard to enjoy. Overall, the experience was underwhelming, and this is definitely not a place I'd return to. The only positive was the steak bomb fries they were cooked very well the seasoning was excellent and the cheese was on point. This is the original location but I did have the Newbury location as well and it's not any different. I would say the service is fairly quick. read more

Crazy Good Kitchen - 'Merica Style Double Trouble - Chicken Wings Near Me - Malden, Massachusetts

I have been seeing ads for their burgers that look huge and amazing with homemade sauces plus they are open late, so finally tried them. Sadly, was not impressed. The burger was much smaller than expected and was not the juicy burger with toppings I was expecting. The toppings were barely tasted, there was one pickle, and I did not taste any onions. Just a shot above Wendy's. Fries were okay. Service was disappointing. It has a tiny entry to place or pick up orders. I had ordered online. One gal was taking an order at the small window. The customer was undecided, but she gave him her full attention. Another gal came to the window and gave the guy in front of me his takeout order. Then she walked away and was dancing. Yes, dancing with her back to the entry as I tried to get her attention. The gal waiting on the indecisive customer told me she would be with me shortly, but I finally got the other ones attention. She merely offered me my bag without a word. They close on Saturday night at 11 p.m. Wendy's drive through closes at 1 a.m. I think I will stick with Wendy's. read more

Went there last night with 2 boys. They got burgers, I got chicken, we all got shakes and split a large fries - total was $80. The chicken was overly messy - way too much sauce. Also for $15 the chicken to bun ratio could have been better. The kids said their burgers were good. They were a lot bigger than shake shack but a lot more expensive. The shakes are just meh ice cream in a cup with whip cream. They look good but are way to thick therefore undrinkable . I love the strawberry shake at shake shack but this was simply vanilla ice cream with red 40 syrup. Definitely not worth $8.50! For my money I would go to shake shack. The portions are bigger at C.G.K. however it is way too much food and the quality is not the same. read more

They nailed the juicy chicken cut part. The spicy was appeasing but not super hot if you're one that can't handle the heat me personally I love spicy so u think they could've went up on the heat level. I'm not usually a Cole slaw fan but this one complimented the spicy chicken part very well. I would definitely go back, only down side is the sandwich @ almost $15 doesn't come with any sides. 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! read more

I've been here multiple times now and it's so delicious every time with the chicken sandwich. The chicken is always crispy and the fries are great! The chicken is huge and super juicy. Out of all the fries, I really like their truffle parmesan fries. I usually order ahead for pick up and they always have a few parking spots available in their lot. It's a small trailer with a few seating outside for anyone who wants to eat there. read more

Really disappointed in our food tonight. The 'Merican burger was so fatty and greasy, it tasted horrible and we aren't the most discerning customers. No cheese, just grease and one pickle. The bun was a nice sesame bun though. The only bright spot aside from the pickle. The buffalo chicken fingers were gross and inedible, although the three pickles were good. The fries were cold, soggy and unsalted. Way overpriced for what it was, especially in Malden. Such a bunmer. read more

Came here on a Thursday afternoon and the food was absolutely phenomenal. One of the best burgers I've ever had anywhere, perfectly seasoned and juicy. The pictures really dont do it justice. My partner got a hot chicken sandwich and it was as good as the best of Nashville. I am seriously impressed with the flavor and quality. And the staff is friendly (always a plus). CGK only has a few bar seats on the outside, and no 'indoors'. The building is a small diner cart that houses ~2 employees - so I can see there being longer waits during peak hours or weekends. There was a few people ahead of us, but we only waited about 10 minutes. Great find - really looking forward to coming back here. read more

Newbury street location since that Yelp page isn't up yet. The strawberry milkshake was thick and not too sweet, perfect for a hot summer day. The chicken sandwich was crispy, right amount of spicy and juicy. The portion was generous in between Cole slaw and buttery brioche buns! Why 3 stars? I came for a Yelp event for a free sandwich and smoothie but purchased as well. I got another sandwich and was charged really abruptly and quickly. The person clicked a lot of stuff on his tablet didn't let me see it then took my card and put it in. The price sounded more than normal to me but I still tipped anyways. When I got my receipt I saw that they had charged me a "house fee" of 20% before tax. While it was only a coupon bucks, I wish they would've disclosed it as it felt kind of sneaky. Staff was nice other than the sneaky charge that was not disclosed and quick with my order. Was in and out in about 10 minutes. read more

This place makes some very good looking food. I've been dying to try them and am glad I finally did! Ordered the Fry Me Up, 'Merica Style Single w/ extra cheese on the side, and a House Açaí. I have always wanted to have my own personal vat of liquid cheese and this is 100% an option here! The portion size is good and the extra cheese is very generous. The 'Merica style is a very delicious, almost perfect cheese burger topped with cheese, pickles, and onions on a sesame brioche bun. Dip it in a side of extra cheese, to feel extravagant. The Fry Me Up is a fried chicken sandwich with a brioche bun, pickles, lettuce and ranch. For the fried chicken they use chicken thigh, which is fine, but not such a happy thing when the thighs aren't properly trimmed. There were some rather big globs of fat. I would have preferred it to be cooked a bit longer, it was definitely fully cooked, but not as much as I would have liked. Lastly, the chicken was bland, could use some seasoning, honestly a pinch of salt would have done the job, definitely needed all those topping. Lastly, the House Açaí. Açaí topped with your choice of all, some or none of bananas, strawberries, granola and dried milk (leite ninho or leche nido). Great price point for all of those toppings. This is Açaí the Brazilian way, delicious. Overall definitely lives up to the hype for the burgers, but I was a bit disappointed with the chicken sandwich. Will be crazing their burgers in the future. read more

Came here after randomly coming across their IG. So glad I did!! We ordered online 30 min prior and I received a text a couple mins before arriving that it was ready. It's super easy to find with a good sized parking lot. We ordered the merica burger, the bacon bird, and a strawberry shake. The shake is perfect or maybe I'm just biased because I like strawberry flavored anything. We finished it before we got back home. The burger is juicy and cheesy; it just had a little too much Mayo for me. The cheese wasn't fully melted but not a big deal. The chicken sandwich is definitely one of the best I've ever had. Suuupper crispy, as well as the bacon on it. I don't like my sandwiches loaded with condiments so I preferred the chicken one. Pretty simple yet so tasty. We didn't bother getting fries since we knew we'd be full from the sandwiches. I suggest eating there because we had a 30 min drive back. It was still good, but would've been better if it was hot. I'll be back for sure sometime!! read more

One word. Underwhelming. But really, the burgers are good but not great. Chicken tenders were dry. Fries were a total afterthought. The joint itself is pretty sketch. There's maybe 7 stools on a patio type area but the counter is more of a hand rail than table. Also, the dumpster smell was tough. Disappointing after seeing the mass mouthwatering photos on their social media. read more

What a great place ! We were in Malden for the afternoon and saw this on yelp. It looks like it was once a trailer and inside that trailer is some of the best food I've ever had. The young man at the window was very friendly. We didn't have to wait long for our food. It was hot out and the seating area is small so we ate in the car. If you have a big group you may not all fit inside. Don't let that deter you , the food is fabulous ! I had a fried chicken sandwich , Nashville hot ! So many tasty spices. I'm not sure what that sauce was but I want to bottle it and dump it on everything. The fries were crispy and salty. Prices were reasonable. I would go there again for sure. Yum yum. read more

Had a milkshake on a hot day which was difficult to drink because they premade them so it was fully frozen. I had the cookie dough so all the chunks were at the bottom. It was good, but would need remixing at home, which isn't really what I want to be doing.... read more

You know those fast food commercials that show a burger that looks good on screen, but you know that once you order it you're facing disappointment? Well CGK is the OPPOSITE of that. The pictures don't capture their food adequately, but it is 100% satisfying. This unassuming diner, with outdoor patio seating, always has guests hanging around. It's probably more noticeable these days as their indoor capacity maxes out at 2. The first thing I noticed was how perfectly the box held the burger: the brioche bun fit just so in it and everything looked perfectly held together. This is further confirmed biting into it: the pickles are spaced evenly, the sauces meld together for flavor, the patty is cooked just right to have a slight crisp on the edges but inside holds a slight shade of pink. I don't normally call myself a burger person (I only crave it like 3x a year), but this was literally perfection. Their chicken tenders are also fried perfectly. The flavor is really strong though, and on the salty side. True to its name, the Better-Than-Ketchup is better than normal ketchup. Pro-tip: Order extra sauces and combine it (or regular ketchup) with their Butter Mayo for a tasty dip for their fries... if you can resist their loaded options. Extra tip: I've ordered at 11AM and 3PM to avoid the peak hours and the food was ready within 15 minutes. There's Maplewood park a couple blocks away and a shopping plaza if you really need to kill time during peak hours. read more

Juicy & cheesy burgers and loaded buffalo chicken fries at C.G.K. in Malden, Boston! I actually saw a TikTok on this restaurant, and I've been counting the days until my roadtrip to Maine & Boston! I rarely go out of my way for burgers, so I was really excited for these - thankfully, I thought they lived up to the hype! We ordered three burgers and the fries: Hot Mess & Cheese - patty, shaved steak, American cheese, cheese sauce and grilled onions But Make It Spicy - buttermilk chicken, slaw, pickles and homemade ranch 'Merica Style - patty, American cheese, gridles onions & pickles Hot Mess & Cheese was rightfully super cheesy, the beef patty just melted off the burger. Definitely a messy eat, but the flavor was excellent - reminded me almost of a philly cheesesteak. 'Merica Style was juicy and the combination of burnt Mayo and their ketchup added a lot to the flavor. The chicken sandwich was also very good, but it didn't wow us in anyway. Overall, I would recommend if you're a fan of burgers! The Malden location was also super cute. 4/5 read more

Expect a decent wait time for your food, but most definitely worth it. I would go back and wait again. We ordered ahead of time, knowing it would take longer. Online it said 25-35 minutes, but it wound up taking more like 75 minutes. The place is rather small, so people were scattered around the outside and parking lot waiting for their food. We went around to the other side where there are a few stools to eat the food on a bar-like railing. This worked out perfectly because we had a place to sit while we waited and a place to eat since we ubered there, many people ate in their cars. We were very excited when they texted us saying our order was ready. It was so fresh and hot. The chicken on the sandwiches were incredible; it was so crispy and perfectly cooked. We also got the buffalo chicken fries, which were also really cooked, but the fries were a tad over done. And of course we also had to get the cookie milkshake, again, it was amazing. For two people, we ordered a lot of food and were so stuffed we couldn't finish it all. I will definitely be going back again! read more

Their fried chicken sandwich is the BEST fried chicken sandwich I've had. That buttermilk ranch is so good. Seems like they use dark meat for their sandwiches which is maybe why it's so flavorful. Yummy cheesy fries. I like that cheese sauce but it is a little more on the salty side. But still good. Fries was perfectly crispy! Wait time was longer than estimated in my confirmation email but not a big deal since it is covid times. Price point is more on the expensive side. I don't know if it's worth the cost to eat here regularly. But everyone should try it once! read more

Please be advised that you'll be waiting hours for your order regardless how small or large your order is. We ordered two sandwiches, a shake, and a side of fries and it took two hours for our food... absolutely ridiculous. The first time we went in the restaurant they had informed us that there were only two orders ahead of us.. When we saw two-three people leave with their orders, we went in and still NOT ready... Every time we asked about our order they told us, "I'll be out soon." The peanut butter slide ($15) was good but definitely not worth $15. It was straight up a cup filled of soft serve ice cream with whip cream, melted peanut butter, about 15 pieces of Reese's pieces, 2 Hershey bars, and a small Reese's cup. This was probably worth $8 IMO. The bacon cheese fries ($7) were disgusting and soggy. We ordered the Fry Me Up ($9) and But Make It Spicy ($9) and both chicken sandwiches were good and super filling but the chicken batter was way too crispy and burnt. After every bite we tasted and smelt the burnt oil... it was pretty disturbing. Overall, CGK is OK. Not the best chicken spot people hype about. This was definitely not worth the 2 hour wait. I would recommend ordering directly on their website rather than any third party app because DoorDash overcharges. If you're not in a rush, check this place out. Just be prepared to wait hours. Their sandwiches can get messy. read more

A cute restaurant situated in a small trailer (about 12 seats) with outdoor seating. The Acai Bowl is what they're really known for, and I can see why they're known for it! It was great - had several toppings including honey and condensed milk. However, I was a bit disappointed with the Fried Chicken Goodness sandwich. Although it was huge, I still felt like it was a bit expensive at $9. I opted for a fried piece of chicken for the sandwich, so I was expecting a crispy piece of chicken breast. What I got instead was a sandwich with several pieces of very lightly battered chicken? Might have been their chicken poppers. Not really an ideal chicken sandwich. Definitely come here for the acai bowl, but maybe skip the rest. read more

Come for the burger. I'm gonna say it again - come for the burger. And the chicken sandwich. And the cheese sauce. The menu consists of burgers, chicken sandwiches, milkshakes, and açaí cups. The Hot Mess And Cheese is one of the more expensive options, but is so worth it. It's essentially the best burger you've had with shaved steak and cheese sauce. You can even order extra cheese sauce on the side as a dip. It's HUGE. And will easily last you 2 meals. The chicken sandwiches are also amazing and filling. The shakes are aesthetically pleasing and also delicious. Next time I come (hopefully soon) I'll be trying the açaí cups. read more

I got their chicken tenders, fries and a chocolate milkshake. My boyfriend got their spicy fried chicken sandwich and fries. We ordered online and picked it up. They have signs on the door for some Covid rules and are strict with it. We witnessed a group of teenagers (6~) walk in and one of the employees asked them all to leave and order online, outside. Their food was all delicious and enjoyable. I kind of wish they had all of their sauces, and not just certain ones available to purchase / get for dipping sauces instead - aka I want to dip my tenders and fries in their burnt butter mayo and/or homemade ketchup! I look forward to getting them again one of these days! read more

I've had quite a few burgers in my day, and Crazy Good Kitchen is my undisputed favorite of all time. This is my go to place when friends and family come visit. Their burgers melt in your mouth, I have no idea how they make them so tasty. I have had dreams about them. You literally can't go wrong here. Everything I've ever ordered has been on my list of favorite things. Their buffalo fries are spectacular (the crispy chicken they put on top is so good) and their milk shakes are incredible too. I am really rooting for the success of this business because I can't imagine my life without this food. The world is better with CGK in it. I don't think I can 'fangirl' any harder. read more
