The Chicken Shop is probably one of my FAVE restaurants for a quick and healthy bite. The entire…read morefamily loves it too. In the summer time, it was our Friday night spot. So happy my daughter told me about this place. The staff is ALWAYS and I mean always so nice. Depending when you come, the line can be a bit long but the team is pretty quick to help to move the line along. Food is CONSISTENT in taste and portion which is such a big PLUS these days. You really can't go wrong with any of the menu items. We have tried the entire menu and always go back to the bowls or wraps. From the sauces, the fries and everything else...we crave this place all the time. We always get a double order of Sweet Potato fries cuz one is never enough. 01. Wraps - are tasty and always grilled perfectly for a nice crunch. 02. Bowls - are excellent and filling, all of the bowls even the Mushroom bowl is delicious. 03. Chicken - clean, juicy and tender and perfectly cooked. 04. Sides - always order the Sweet Potato Fries and Za'atar Fries and you MUST order the Garlic Toum (more mild than garlicky but still good). 05. Drinks - There is something for everyone, love their selections. If you have not tried this place yet, it's a sign you should. Even my pickiest non-healthy friends love this place. Great foods and reasonably priced.

The Chicken Shop is a nice restaurant close to the Back Bay Loop, perfect after a run or an easy…read morehike. We came here on a Sunday at around 1PM, and it was not surprisingly crowded. There are plenty of seats outside with some shade, but only a handful of tables inside. It's in a plaza with various other shops, so parking is very accessible. Food didn't take too long, I think we got our food after 10 minutes or so of waiting. Honestly the presentation is solid. I got The Bowl Bowl, and my friends ordered the chicken wrap, Newport Bowl, and we shared Za'atar and sweet potato fries. The bowls came with a citrus sauce, but we had to order extra garlic and chili sauce on the side for the wrap and fries. The fries with sauce were honestly sooo good. The sweet potato fries had this amazing soft texture and it melted in your mouth, the sweetness paired nicely with the sharp garlic sauce. The Za'atar fries were well seasoned and had a nice crisp. They give you a good amount for the price! I personally enjoyed The Bowl Bowl, the quinoa mixed with fresh corn, big chunks of sweet potato (I think they would have been better cut smaller), avocado, their grilled chicken, and chips. I mixed it with the sauce and additional toum and thought it was a perfect post-workout bowl. Hefty, nutritious, and good for the cost ($15). I tried a bit of the Newport Bowl and it was basically a regular salad bowl, nothing special and in my opinion - not worth the price. You're better off trying a more varied bowl or wrap. The chicken wrap was fine, there were some pickled veggies that added a good crunch. The main reason why I'm hesitant to come here again (besides the fries) is that the chicken was quite dry in all of these dishes, and it didn't really have a prominent char or flavor/smell that would indicate it's been charcoal grilled. I do want to try this place again when it's not as busy, basically to see if the chicken quality holds up to other reviews.

The Nashville chicken had great flavor, and the medium heat hit just the right level of kick. A few tweaks would push this higher: more chicken (it leans very salad-heavy right now), a toasted tortilla for some crunch instead of served cold, and a bit more Parmesan and Caesar dressing for extra richness. I had this delivered so I can't comment on the service or ambiance of the place.

A few pieces didn't survive the commute, they were too good to wait. :) This has been our go‑to order that feeds 5, and we highly recommend: - Whole old fashion chicken (thin, super‑crisp coating and we choose 2 sauces on the side) - Whole original furai chicken (a bit more coating, great crunch and we choose 2 sauces on the side) - Half kang jung chicken (like the furai and already coated in their addictive kang jung sauce). I've seen some comments about the price, and I get it. This is a treat for us too. You're paying for quality and an elevated experience: cooked to order, double‑fried for that lighter, shatter‑crisp bite, and topped with crafted sauces. Go for the special ones: soy garlic, kang Jung, garlic jam, mango habanero, just to name a few. Quality craftsmanship shows and hits every time.

The Original was solid too, especially since we could pair it with different dipping sauces. Everything is made to order, but waiting around 20 minutes for fried chicken felt a little long. We also got the potato wedges and onion rings. We weren't told the wedges were already included with the whole chicken offer, and unfortunately the onion rings were pretty dry. Service was friendly and the atmosphere is casual. I'd definitely come back since the chicken was good, but I'd probably try some different sides next time.

From the moment I walked up, the staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. You order your food outside at the window and then head inside to a clean, inviting, and really fun atmosphere. There's plenty of seating, including a second-floor area, and the whole place has a playful, family-friendly feel. There's also a bar area with TVs if you want to hang out and watch a game. I ordered the Senor Croque, fries, and blackcherry soda. All delicious and it hit the spot! What really stood out to me was the service. The staff checked on me throughout my visit to make sure I was enjoying my food and didn't need anything. Everyone was genuinely friendly and attentive. I also had the pleasure of meeting the GM, Jerry. He was incredibly kind and thanked me for stopping in. When he found out it was my first visit, he surprised me with a complimentary house-made cookie, a very thoughtful gesture that made an already great experience even better. Excellent atmosphere, wonderful service, and such an excellent staff. I will definitely be back, whether it's with family and friends, or even just by myself! Thank you, Jerry and the team, for making my first visit such a great one.
